SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains certain forward‑looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward‑looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward‑looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions. 

Forward‑looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward‑looking information. Examples of forward‑looking statements include the following:

· projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

· descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services;

· forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets; and

· descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward‑looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward‑looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward‑looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2017.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:

· the continually changing federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to the highly regulated industry in which we operate;

· lawsuits or governmental actions if we do not comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses;

· the mortgage lending and servicing-related regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and its enforcement of these regulations;

· our dependence on U.S. government sponsored entities and changes in their current roles or their guarantees or guidelines;

· changes to government mortgage modification programs;

· certain banking regulations that may limit our business activities;

· foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices;

· the licensing and operational requirements of states and other jurisdictions applicable to our businesses, to which our bank competitors are not subject;

· our dependence on the multi-family and commercial real estate sectors for future originations and investments in commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate related loans;

· changes in macroeconomic and U.S. real estate market conditions;

· difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

· difficulties inherent in adjusting the size of our operations to reflect changes in business levels;

· any required additional capital and liquidity to support business growth that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all;

· changes in prevailing interest rates;

3

· increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

· our dependence on the success of the small balance multifamily market for future originations of commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related loans;

· our reliance on PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) as a significant source of financing for, and revenue related to, our mortgage banking business;

· our obligation to indemnify third party purchasers or repurchase loans if loans that we originate, acquire, service or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

· our ability to realize the anticipated benefit of potential future acquisitions of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”);

· our obligation to indemnify PMT and certain investment funds if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

· decreases in the returns on the assets that we select and manage for our clients, and our resulting management and incentive fees;

· the extensive amount of regulation applicable to our investment management segment;

· conflicts of interest in allocating our services and investment opportunities among ourselves and certain advised entities;

· the effect of public opinion on our reputation;

· our recent growth;

· our ability to effectively identify, manage, monitor and mitigate financial risks;

· our initiation of new business activities or expansion of existing business activities;

· our ability to detect misconduct and fraud; and

· our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents.

Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document.  Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

9

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of income to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2017. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Note 3—Concentration of Risk

A substantial portion of the Company’s activities relate to the Advised Entities. Revenues generated from these entities (generally comprised of gains on mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage loan origination fees, fulfillment fees, mortgage loan servicing fees, management fees, Carried Interest, and net interest charged to these entities) totaled 22% and 15% of total net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 20% and 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Operating Activities

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSR”) Recapture

The Company provides fulfillment and other services to PMT under a mortgage banking services agreement. Before September 12, 2016, the Company was entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that PMT acquired and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of such mortgage loan. The applicable fulfillment fee percentages were (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans sold in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities Guide, and (iii) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above; provided, however, that the Company was permitted, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of the applicable fulfillment fee and credit the amount of such reduction to the reimbursement otherwise due as described below. This reduction was only credited to the reimbursement applicable to the month in which the related mortgage loan was funded.

Effective September 12, 2016, pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated mortgage banking services agreement, the applicable fulfillment fee percentages are (i) 0.35% for mortgage loans sold or delivered to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and (ii) 0.85% for all other mortgage loans; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to the Company with respect to any mortgage loans underwritten to the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities Guide. PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the agreement, the Company currently purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days mortgage loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company.

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by the Company with respect to PMT’s acquisition of mortgage loans under the Company’s early purchase program, the Company is entitled to fees accruing (i) at a rate equal to $1,500 per year per early purchase facility administered by the Company, and (ii) in the amount of $35 for each mortgage loan that PMT acquires thereunder.

The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement and a flow commercial mortgage loan purchase agreement. Historically, the Company has used the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT prime jumbo residential mortgage loans originated through its consumer direct lending channel. Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company also sells non-government insured or guaranteed mortgage loans originated through its consumer direct lending channel to PMT under the

10

mortgage loan purchase agreement. The Company sells to PMT small balance commercial mortgage loans, including multifamily mortgage loans, originated as part of its commercial lending activities using the flow commercial mortgage loan purchase agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated MSR recapture agreement, effective September 12, 2016, if the Company refinances mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to one of PMT’s wholly‑owned subsidiaries, without cost to PMT, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate UPB that is not less than 30% of the aggregate UPB of all the mortgage loans so originated.

Where the fair value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, the Company may, at its option, pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such MSRs. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement, on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Following is a summary of mortgage loan production activities and MSR recapture between the Company and PMT:

Mortgage Loan Servicing

The Company has a mortgage loan servicing agreement with PMT (“Servicing Agreement”). The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per‑loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced mortgage loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges relating to mortgage loans it services for PMT. The Servicing Agreement was amended and restated as of September 12, 2016; however, the fee structure was not amended in any material respect.

· The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $100 per month for loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month. To the extent the Company facilitates rentals of PMT's REO under its REO

11

rental program, the Company collects an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to the Company’s cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9% of gross rental income if the Company provides property management services directly. The Company is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third-party vendor fees.

· The base servicing fees for non-distressed mortgage loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month and $8.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans, respectively.

· The Company is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed whole mortgage loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from 0.50% for a streamline modification to 1.50% for a liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee per mortgage loan in any 18-month period.

· Because PMT has limited employees and infrastructure, the Company is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, the Company receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed mortgage loan. The Company is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in performance of its servicing obligations.

· Except as otherwise provided in the MSR recapture agreement, when the Company effects a refinancing of a mortgage loan on behalf of PMT and not through a third-party lender and the resulting mortgage loan is readily saleable, or the Company originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of a REO, the Company is entitled to receive from PMT market-based fees and compensation consistent with pricing and terms the Company offers unaffiliated parties on a retail basis.

· The Company is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Plan (“HAMP”); provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to the Company in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which PMT previously paid the Company a modification fee, the Company is required to reimburse PMT an amount equal to the incentive payments.

12

The Servicing Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Investment Management Activities

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”). The Management Agreement provides that:

· The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

· The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” on a rolling four‑quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of: (a) 10% of the amount by which PMT’s net income attributable to its common shares of beneficial interest and for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which PMT’s net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on PMT’s equity plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which PMT’s net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the “high watermark.”

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to its common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non‑cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four‑quarter period.

The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30‑year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the net income is

13

lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s net income over (or under) the Target Yield, until the net income in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then‑current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both receivable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at PMT’s option.

The Management Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees earned from PMT:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016

Performance incentive		—		—		304		—
	$	6,038	$	5,025	$	16,684	$	15,576

Expense Reimbursement

Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. With respect to the allocation of the Company’s and its affiliates’ personnel, from and after September 12, 2016, the Company shall be reimbursed $120,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by the Company or its affiliates.

PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses will be allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets managed by the Company as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.

The Company received reimbursements from PMT for expenses as follows:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands)

(1) Payments and settlements include payments for management fees and correspondent production activities itemized in the preceding tables and netting settlements made pursuant to master netting agreements between the Company and PMT.

Conditional Reimbursement of Underwriting Fees

In connection with its initial public offering of common shares of beneficial interest on August 4, 2009 (“IPO”), PMT conditionally agreed to reimburse the Company up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by the Company on PMT’s behalf. The Company received $30,000 in reimbursement from PMT during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and received no reimbursement during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In the event a termination fee is payable to the Company under the Management Agreement, and the Company has not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.

Investing Activities

Master Repurchase Agreement with the Issuer Trust

On December 19, 2016, the Company, through PLS, entered into a master repurchase agreement with one of PMT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from the Company for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in excess servicing spread (“ESS”). PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and PennyMac, as guarantor (the “PC Repurchase Agreement”). The Issuer Trust was formed for the purpose of allowing PLS to finance MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs (the “GNMA MSR Facility”).

In connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in MSRs and ESS pursuant to the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. In return, the Issuer Trust (a) has issued to PLS, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016, known as the “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2016-MSRVF1” (the “VFN”), and (b) has issued and may, from time to time pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture, issue to institutional investors additional term notes (“Term Notes”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis by the participation certificates relating to the MSRs and ESS. The maximum principal balance of the VFN is $1,000,000,000.

The principal amount paid by PLS for the participation certificates under the PMH Repurchase Agreement is based upon a percentage of the market value of the underlying ESS. Upon PMH’s repurchase of the participation certificates, PMH is required to repay PLS the principal amount relating thereto plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and consistent with the weighted average note rate of the VFN and any outstanding Term Notes) to the date of such repurchase. PLS is then required to repay the Issuer Trust the corresponding amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement.

Prior to the Company’s entry into the PMH Repurchase Agreement and PC Repurchase Agreement in connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, the Company was a party to a repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) (the “MSR Repo”), pursuant to which it financed Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advance receivables and pledged to CSFB all of its rights and interests in any Ginnie Mae MSRs it owned or acquired, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and the Company.

In connection with the MSR Repo described above, the Company and PMT entered into an underlying loan and security agreement, dated as of April 30, 2015, pursuant to which PMT was able to borrow up to $150 million from the Company for the purpose of financing ESS (the “Underlying LSA”). In order to secure its borrowings, PMT pledged its ESS to the Company under the Underlying LSA and the Company, in turn, re-pledged such ESS to CSFB under the MSR Repo. The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA was based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged by PMT, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, PMT granted to the Company a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings.

The Company and PMT agreed in connection with the Underlying LSA that PMT was required to repay the Company the principal amount of borrowings plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment, and the Company was required to repay CSFB the corresponding amount under the MSR Repo. Interest accrued on PMT’s note relating to the

15

Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. PMT was also required to pay the Company a fee for the structuring of the Underlying LSA in an amount equal to the portion of the corresponding fee paid by the Company to CSFB and allocable to the $150 million relating to the ESS financing. The note receivable was replaced by the PMH Repurchase Agreement upon the closing of the GNMA MSR facility.

The Company holds an investment in PMT in the form of 75,000 common shares of beneficial interest.

Financing Activities

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

Effective February 1, 2013, the Company entered into a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which it sold to PMT or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries the rights to receive certain ESS from MSRs acquired by the Company from banks and other third party financial institutions. The Company was generally required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for the applicable Agency or investor. The terms of each transaction under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement were subject to the terms thereof, as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

To the extent the Company refinanced any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS sold to PMT, the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contained recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month was less than $200,000, the Company was, at its option, permitted to pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such ESS.

On February 29, 2016, the parties terminated the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and all amendments thereto. In connection with the termination of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, PLS reacquired from PMH all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Fannie Mae ESS previously sold by PLS to PMH and then subject to such 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

16

On December 19, 2014, the Company entered into a second master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that the Company only intends to sell ESS relating to Freddie Mac MSRs under the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

To the extent the Company refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS it sells to PMT,  the 12/19/14 Spread  Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT,  at  no cost,  the ESS relating to a  certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans.  To the extent the  fair market value  of the  aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is  less  than $200,000,  the Company may,  at its option,  pay cash to PMT in an  amount equal to such fair market  value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

On February 29, 2016, PLS also reacquired from PMT all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Freddie Mac ESS previously sold by PLS to PMT and then subject to such 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement. The 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement remains in full force and effect.

On December 19, 2016, the Company amended and restated a third master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that the Company only intends to sell ESS relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs under the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement. Pursuant to the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement, the Company may sell to PMT, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by PMT in connection with the parties’ participation in the GNMA MSR Facility.

To the extent the Company refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS it has acquired, the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, the Company is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require the Company to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, the Company may, at its option, wire cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

Investment Funds

The Company has investment management agreements with the Investment Funds pursuant to which it receives management fees consisting of base management fees and Carried Interest. The management fees are based on the lesser of the funds’ net asset values or aggregate capital contributions. The base management fees accrue at annual rates ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% of the applicable amounts on which they are based.

The Carried Interest that the Company recognizes from the Investment Funds is determined by the Investment Funds’ performance and its contractual rights to share in the Investments Funds’ returns in excess of the preferred returns, if any, accruing to the funds’ investors. The Company recognizes Carried Interest as a participation in the profits in the Investment Funds after the investors in the Investment Funds have achieved a preferred return as defined in the fund agreements. After the investors have achieved the preferred returns specified in the respective fund agreements, a “catch up” return accrues to the Company until it receives a specified percentage of the preferred return. Thereafter, the Company participates in future returns in excess of the preferred return at the rates specified in the fund agreements.

The Company also has loan servicing agreements with the Investment Funds. The loan servicing to be provided by the Company under the loan servicing agreements with the Investment Funds includes collecting principal, interest and escrow account payments, if any, with respect to mortgage loans, as well as managing loss mitigation, which may include, among other things, collection activities, loan workouts, modifications, foreclosures and short sales. The Company may also engage in certain loan origination activities that include refinancing mortgage loans and arranging financings that facilitate sales of REOs.

The loan servicing agreements with the Investment Funds generally provide for fee revenue, which varies depending on the type and quality of the loans being serviced. The Company is also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges.

On August 9, 2017, the Investment Funds completed the sale of substantially all of their remaining assets. Accordingly, future management and servicing fees from the Investment Funds will be substantially curtailed. In a related distribution of the sale proceeds, the Company received $61.3 million in cash in settlement of the majority of its Carried Interest. The Investment Funds are scheduled to remain in existence through December 31, 2018, subject to a one-year extension at the Company’s discretion, in accordance with the terms of the limited liability company and limited partnership agreements that govern the Investment Funds.

Note 6—Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured based on their fair values. The application of fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether management has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

· Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. These may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and other inputs.

· Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

22

Fair Value Accounting Elections

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets other than Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trustunder agreements to resell, as well as its originated MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%, its purchased MSRs and its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. Management has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% are accounted for using the amortization method.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell,  Assets sold under agreements to repurchase,  Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements,  Notes payable,  Obligations under capital lease and amounts receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities are carried at amortized cost. These assets and liabilities do not have observable inputs and the fair value is measured using management’s estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the lack of observable inputs to estimate their fair values and has concluded that those liabilities’ fair values approximate the carrying value due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Most of the Company’s financial assets, a portion of its MSRs and its ESS financing and MSLs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and all of its MSRs, ESS and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, management has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair value of these items to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight. The Company’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is the Company’s specialized staff responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs.

With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to the Company’s senior management valuation committee. The Company’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s executive chairman and chief executive, chief financial, chief risk, chief enterprise operations and deputy chief financial officers.

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Company’s senior management valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.

With respect to IRLCs, the Company has assigned responsibility for developing fair values to its Capital Markets Risk Management staff. The fair values developed by the Capital Markets Risk Management staff are reviewed by the Company’s Capital Markets Operations group.

31

Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Most of the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and their fair values are determined using their quoted market or contracted selling price or market price equivalent.

Certain of the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale are non-saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Mortgage loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

· Certain delinquent government guaranteed or insured mortgage loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools in its mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase delinquent government guaranteed or insured mortgage loans arises as the result of the borrower’s failure to make payments for at least three consecutive months preceding the month of repurchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such repurchased mortgage loans may be resold to third-party investors and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed pool. Such eligibility for resale generally occurs when the repurchased mortgage loans become current either through the borrower’s reperformance or through completion of a modification of the mortgage loan’s terms.

· Certain of the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale that become non-saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a mortgage loan with an identified defect.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment/resale speeds and total prepayment speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the mortgage loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” fair value inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value:

Key inputs	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Discount rate:
Range	2.9% – 9.2%	2.6% – 8.8%
Weighted average	2.9%	3.0%
Twelve-month projected housing price index change:
Range	2.9% – 5.5%	2.0% – 4.5%
Weighted average	4.4%	3.7%
Voluntary prepayment / resale speed (1):
Range	0.1% – 21.5%	0.1% – 24.4%
Weighted average	19.4%	20.9%
Total prepayment speed (2):
Range	0.1% – 40.3%	0.1% – 39.8%
Weighted average	38.5%	34.3%

(1) Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

(2)Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument specific credit risk are measured by reference to the change in the respective mortgage loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the

32

beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as a “Level 3” fair value asset or liability. The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the mortgage loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased (the “pull-through rate”).

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the mortgage loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and may be allocated to Net mortgage loan servicing fees as a hedge of the fair value of MSRs in the consolidated statements of income when it is included as a component of the MSR hedging strategy.

Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” fair value inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

Key inputs	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Pull-through rate:
Range	15.0% – 100.0%	35.0% – 100.0%
Weighted average	85.9%	84.9%
Mortgage servicing rights value expressed as:
Servicing fee multiple:
Range	1.2 – 6.0	1.2 – 5.9
Weighted average	4.0	4.3
Percentage of unpaid principal balance:
Range	0.3% – 2.6%	0.3% – 2.8%
Weighted average	1.4%	1.3%

Hedging Derivatives

Fair value of exchange-traded hedging derivative financial instruments are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees – Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income. 

Repurchase Agreement Derivatives

The Company has a master repurchase agreement that includes incentives for financing mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics. These incentives are classified as embedded derivatives in the master repurchase agreement and are accounted for separate from the master repurchase agreement. The Company classifies these derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets. The significant unobservable input into the valuation of these derivative assets is the expected approval rate of the mortgage loans financed under the master repurchase agreement. The approval rate included in the fair value estimate was 80% at September 30, 2017.

33

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), the prepayment rates of the underlying mortgage loans, and the per-loan annual cost to service the respective mortgage loans. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net servicing fees—Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs at the time of initial recognition, excluding MSR purchases:

(1) Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.

(2) Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

(1) The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.

(2) For MSRs carried at fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs is expected to result in a reduction in fair value which will be recognized in income. For MSRs carried at lower of amortized cost or fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs may result in recognition of MSR impairment. The extent of the recognized MSR impairment will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of such MSRs.

(3) Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value liability. Because the ESS is a claim to a portion of the cash flows from MSRs, the approach to fair value measurement of the ESS is similar to that of MSRs. The Company uses the same discounted cash flow approach to measuring the ESS as used to measure MSRs except that certain inputs relating to the cost to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSR and certain ancillary income are not included as these cash flows do not accrue to the holder of the ESS. The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS fair value include pricing spread (discount rate) and prepayment speed. Significant changes to either of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value of ESS. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.

ESS is generally subject to fair value increases when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally slow mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing its fair value, which is owed to PMT. Increases in the fair value of ESS decrease income and are included in Net mortgage loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of excess servicing spread payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust.

Following are the key inputs used in estimating the fair value of ESS financing:

	September 30,	December 31,
	2017	2016

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. This approach consists of projecting net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), the prepayment rates of the underlying mortgage loans, and the per-loan annual cost to service the respective mortgage loans. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing fees—Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSLs:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
MSL and pool characteristics:
Carrying value (in thousands)	$	16,076	$	15,192

Note 8—Derivative Activities

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and the Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate management activities. Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations include:

· IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a mortgage loan acquired for sale.

· Derivatives that are embedded in a master repurchase agreement that provides for the Company to receive incentives for financing mortgage loans that satisfy certain consumer relief characteristics under the master repurchase agreement.

38

The Company also engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and the portion of its MSRs not financed with ESS.

The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

Derivative Balances and Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from (or posted to) its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs and repurchase agreement derivatives.

Note 9—Carried Interest Due from Investment Funds

The activity in the Company’s Carried Interest due from Investment Funds is summarized as follows:

	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands)

Balance at end of period	$	8,547	$	70,870	$	8,547	$	70,870

The amount of the Carried Interest that will be received by the Company depends on the Investment Funds’ future performance. As a result, the amount of Carried Interest recorded by the Company is based on the cash flows that would be produced assuming termination of the Investment Funds at period end and may be reduced in future periods based on the performance of the Investment Funds in those periods. However, the Company is not required to pay guaranteed returns to the Investment Funds and the amount of any reduction to Carried Interest will be limited to the amounts previously recognized.

On August 9, 2017, the Investment Funds completed the sale of substantially all of their remaining assets. The Company collected a substantial portion of its Carried Interest during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and expects to collect the remaining balance, adjusted for intervening income or losses through the date of liquidation of the Investment Funds.

Assets Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The Company has multiple borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by mortgage loans held for sale at fair value or participation certificates backed by MSRs. Eligible mortgage loans and participation certificates backed by MSRs and servicing advances are sold at advance rates based on the fair value of the assets sold. Interest is charged at a rate based on the buyer’s overnight cost of funds rate or on LIBOR depending on the terms of the respective agreements. Mortgage loans and MSRs financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the fair value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets securing those agreements decreases.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

Certain of the borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback amount is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	19,568	$	24,277	$	19,067	$	20,611
Provision for losses on mortgage loans sold:
Resulting from sales of mortgage loans		1,596		852		4,294		5,220
Reduction in liability due to change in estimate		(1,194)		(6,648)		(3,086)		(6,648)
Incurred losses		(297)		(8)		(602)		(710)
Balance at end of period	$	19,673	$	18,473	$	19,673	$	18,473
Unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties at end of period	$	114,531,205	$	80,050,420

Note 13—Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates were 12.4% and 12.2% for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 12.4% and 12.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into the Company’s Class A common stock, the portion of the Company’s income that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates will increase, which will in turn increase the Company’s effective income tax rate. The repurchase of Company shares under the Repurchase Program as described in Note 15–Stockholders’ Equity has the opposite effect and results in a corresponding redemption of PennyMac units from the Company pursuant to the PennyMac Limited Liability Agreement.

Note 20—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share of common stock is determined using net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all dilutive shares of common stock were issued.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-vested stock-based compensation awards and PennyMac Class A units. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding represented by the non-vested stock-based compensation awards. The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the exchange of PennyMac Class A units for shares of common stock. Accordingly, earnings attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is also adjusted to include the earnings allocated to the PennyMac Class A units after taking into account the income taxes that would be applicable to such earnings.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Basic earnings per share of common stock:
Net income attributable to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. common stockholders	$	17,081	$	23,685	$	38,439	$	43,335
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		23,426		22,217		23,147		22,101
Basic earnings per share of common stock	$	0.73	$	1.07	$	1.66	$	1.96
Diluted earnings per share of common stock:
Net income attributable to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. common stockholders	$	17,081	$	23,685	$	38,439	$	43,335
Effect of net income attributable to PennyMac Class A units exchangeable to common stock, net of income taxes		38,884		57,444		88,289		105,480
Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders	$	55,965	$	81,129	$	126,728	$	148,815
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		23,426		22,217		23,147		22,101
Dilutive shares:
PennyMac Class A units exchangeable to common stock		53,239		53,923		53,400		53,996
Common shares issuable under stock-based compensation plan		1,751		215		1,684		234
Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		78,416		76,355		78,231		76,331
Diluted earnings per share of common stock	$	0.71	$	1.06	$	1.62	$	1.95

56

Calculations of diluted earnings per share require certain potentially dilutive shares to be excluded when their inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the anti-dilutive weighted-average number of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands except for weighted-average exercise price)
Performance-based RSUs (2)		—		2,505		475		2,510
Time-based RSUs		1		—		1		—
Stock options (1)		2,622		2,768		2,434		2,559
Total anti-dilutive stock-based compensation units		2,623		5,273		2,910		5,069
Weighted average exercise price of anti-dilutive stock options (1)	$	16.39	$	15.81	$	16.39	$	15.82

(1) Certain stock options were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the weighted-average exercise prices were anti-dilutive.

(2) Certain performance-based RSUs were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the performance thresholds included in such RSUs have not been achieved.

Note 24—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the guidance in the Revenue Recognition topic of the ASC. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers.

Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts.

The FASB has issued several amendments to the new revenue standard ASU 2014-09, including:

· In August 2015, ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2015-14”). This update deferred the initial effective date of ASU 2014-09. As a result of the issuance of ASU 2015-14, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

· In March 2016, ASU 2016-08, Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments to this update are intended to improve the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09 by clarifying how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e. the specified good or service) and how an entity should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements.

· In May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments to this update clarify certain core recognition principles and provide practical expedients available at transition. The improvements address collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.

· In December 2016, ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments to this update:

o Clarify that guarantee fees within the scope of the Guarantees topic of the ASC (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC. The Derivatives and Hedging topic provides guidance relating to guarantees accounted for as derivatives.

o Clarify guidance contained in the Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers subtopic of the ASC that when performing impairment testing an entity should (a) consider expected contract renewals and extensions and (b) include both the amount of consideration it already has received but has not recognized as revenue and the amount it expects to receive in the future.

61

o Clarify the interaction of impairment testing with guidance in other ASC topics that impairment testing first should be performed on assets not within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs, Intangibles-GoodwillandOther or the Property, Plant, and Equipment  topics of the ASC (such as assets within the Inventory topic of the ASC), then assets within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs topic of the ASC, then asset groups and reporting units within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other and the Property, Plant, and Equipment topics of the ASC.

o Clarify that all contracts within the scope of the Financial Services – Insurance topic of the ASC are excluded from the scope of the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic.

o Provide optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue and expands the information that is required to be disclosed when an entity applies one of the optional exemptions.

o Clarify that the disclosure of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods applies to all performance obligations and is not limited to performance obligations with corresponding contract balances.

o Align the cost-capitalization guidance for advisors to both public funds and private funds in the Financial Services— Investment Companies—Other Expenses subtopic of the ASC.

· In February 2017, ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) (“ASU 2017-05”). The amendments to this update clarify the scope of the Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC, and add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 clarifies that:

o A financial asset is within the scope of the Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and defines the term in substance nonfinancial asset, in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets.

o It excludes all businesses and nonprofit activities from the scope of the Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC. Derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities should be accounted for in accordance with the Consolidation—Overall subtopic of the ASC.

o An entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it.

o An entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations.

o An entity must derecognize a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it (1) does not have (or ceases to have) a controlling financial interest in the legal entity that holds the asset in accordance with the Consolidations topic of the ASC and (2) transfers control of the asset in accordance with the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC. Once an entity transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset, it is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives (or retains) at fair value.

The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers that are subject to ASU 2014-09 include fulfillment fees, management fees, Carried Interest and certain reimbursed overhead costs. The Company has concluded that:

62

· The recognition and measurement of fulfillment fees and management fees is not expected to change as a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-09.

· The Company’s Carried Interest arrangements with the Investment Funds represent capital allocations to the Company. As a result, the Company has concluded as part of its assessment of the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 that its Carried Interest represents an equity method investment subject to the Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures topic of the ASC. Therefore, effective January 1, 2018, the Company will recharacterize its Carried Interest as financial instruments under the equity method of accounting. This change is not expected to change the timing or amount of the Company’s recognition of Carried Interest. At September 30, 2017, the Company had Carried Interest receivable totaling $8.5 million, which is expected to be realized in early 2018.

· The effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the presentation of overhead reimbursements will be to increase Other income and the Company’s overhead expense categories by offsetting amounts. Under its management agreement, PMT is required to pay its pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses are allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets managed by the Company as calculated at each fiscal quarter end. The Company recognizes such reimbursements as expense offsets in its consolidated statements of income. ASU 2014-09 requires such reimbursements to be treated as revenues. The Company included $1.2 million and $1.4 million and $4.2 million and $6.4 million of such common overhead as expense offsets in the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. The Company does not expect to record a cumulative effect adjustment to its beginning retained earnings as a result of adoption of ASU 2014-09.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, and the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.

ASU 2016-01 requires that:

· All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) with readily determinable fair values will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.

· When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The accumulated gains and losses due to these changes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings if the financial liability is settled before maturity.

· For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, public business entities will be required to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

· Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or fair value) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities).

· Public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost.

· Entities will have to assess the realizability of a deferred tax asset related to a debt security classified as available for sale in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

63

The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income is permitted and can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”).  ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors) and supersedes previous leasing standards. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. 

ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. As shown in Note 14 —Commitments and Contingencies, the Company had approximately $99.0 million in future minimum lease payment commitments as of September 30, 2017. Were the Company to adopt ASU 2016-02 as of September 30, 2017, it would be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability based on the present value of such obligation as of September 30, 2017. The Company does not expect to recognize a significant cumulative effect adjustment to its stockholders’ equity as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02.

Share-Based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation(Topic 718):  Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including:

· Modifies the accounting for income taxes relating to share-based payments. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in capital; tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or in the consolidated income statement in the period they reduce income taxes payable.

· Changes the classification of excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity.

· Changes the requirement to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. Under ASU 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest as presently required or account for forfeitures when they occur. Under current GAAP, accruals of compensation cost are based on the number of awards that are expected to vest.

· Changes the tax withholding requirements for share-based payment awards to qualify for equity accounting. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Under current GAAP, for an award to qualify for equity classification is that an entity cannot partially settle the award in cash in excess of the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements.

· Establishes GAAP for the classification of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-

64

withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This guidance establishes GAAP related to the classification of withholding taxes in the statement of cash flows as there is no such guidance under current GAAP.

ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 25—Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated the impacts of events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2017 through the filing date of the Consolidated Financial Statements with the SEC. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined none of these events were required to be recognized or disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PFSI.

Our Company

We are a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and our management’s experience across all aspects of the mortgage business will allow us to profitably grow these activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.

We operate and control all of the business and affairs of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”) and are its sole managing member. PennyMac was founded in 2008 by members of our executive leadership team and two strategic partners, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC and HC Partners, LLC, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments, LLC, together with its affiliates.

We conduct our business in three segments: loan production, loan servicing (together, these two activities comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management. Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States. PLS is a seller/servicer for the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each of which is a government-sponsored entity (“GSE”). It is also an approved issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a lender of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), a lender/servicer of the Veterans Administration (“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and a servicer for the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies.” PLS is able to service mortgage loans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and originate mortgage loans in 49 states and the District of Columbia, either because PLS is properly licensed in a particular jurisdiction or exempt or otherwise not required to be licensed in that jurisdiction.

Our investment management subsidiary, PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), is a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. PCM manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a mortgage real estate investment trust, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT, PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, both registered under the Investment

66

Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”), as amended, an affiliate of these Funds and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our “Investment Funds” and, together with PMT, as our “Advised Entities.”

Results of Operations

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, certain areas of the United States were impacted by hurricanes, primarily in Texas, Florida and Georgia. A portion of our servicing portfolio is in government-declared disaster areas affected by these events. We have evaluated the effect of these events on our assets, including the valuation of our MSRs and servicing advances, based on the information that is currently available to us. We have concluded that most of our loss exposure is addressed by borrower hazard insurance and the Agency guarantees relating to the affected loans. Prospectively we expect to incur increased servicing costs to address borrower needs, including the establishment of forbearance plans and, where necessary, loan modifications or liquidations for affected borrowers. We also expect to incur increased losses on defaulted government loans for certain uninsured property damage that is also not covered by Agency insurance or guarantees. While we expect to incur elevated servicing costs over the next year, we do not expect significant negative effects on our earnings as a result of these events.

Our results of operations are summarized below:

Net income decreased $39.8 million and $35.5 million during the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value resulting primarily froma decrease in our production profit margins. The decrease in interest rate lock volume during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, reflects the generally rising interest rates in the mortgage market, which has a negative influence on demand for mortgage lending. Reduced demand negatively influences profit margins by causing increased price competition in the mortgage marketplace. The decrease in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value was partially offset by an increase in Net mortgage loan servicing fees which reflects both growth in the our servicing portfolio and improved fair value adjustments.

Net Gains on Mortgage Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

Most of our mortgage loan production is centered in government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We source the majority of our government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loan production through PMT. PMT is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We purchase the government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that PMT acquires through its correspondent production activities and pay PMT a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points on the UPB of such mortgage loans.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $108.1 million and $293.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $74.0 million and $110.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our profit margin on mortgage loan production.

Provision for Losses on Representations and Warranties

We record our estimate of the losses that we expect to incur in the future as a result of claims against us in connection with the representations and warranties we provide to the purchasers and insurers of the mortgage loans we sell in our Net gains on sale of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the mortgage loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with identified defects or indemnify the purchaser or insurer against future credit losses. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent originators that sold such mortgage loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.

The method we use to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, mortgage loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of

69

reimbursement by the correspondent mortgage loan seller. We establish a liability at the time we sell loans and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis.

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current mortgage loan sales as a component of Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $1.6 million and $4.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $0.9 million and $5.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. We also recorded reductions in the liability of $1.2 million and $3.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $6.6 million during the same periods ended September 30, 2016. The reductions in the liability resulted from changes in estimates relating to better-than anticipated credit performance of seasoned mortgage loan pools along with additional reductions relating to mortgage loans meeting previously announced limitations on pursuit by the Agencies of claims on mortgage loans with certain performance histories.

Following is a summary of mortgage loan repurchase activity and the UPB of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties:

Liability for representations and warranties	$	19,673	$	18,473

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased mortgage loans totaling $5.3 million and $16.9 million, respectively, in UPB. We recorded losses of $297,000 and $602,000, respectively, net of recoveries from correspondent sellers as a result of these repurchases during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As the outstanding balance of mortgage loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold continue to season, we expect that the level of repurchase activity may increase.

70

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying mortgage loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit administration staff and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes our senior executives and senior management in our loan production, loan servicing and credit risk management areas.

Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current UPB of mortgage loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

Other mortgage loan production-related revenues

Mortgage loan origination fees decreased $1.5 million and increased $3.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decrease is due to a reduction in our loan production volumes during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, and the increase is primarily due to an increase in the volume of correspondent purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Fulfillment fees from PMT, which represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with its acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans, are calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the mortgage loans we fulfill for PMT. Fulfillment fees decreased $3.7 million and increased $1.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The changes are due to a decrease in PMT’s loan production volume and a lower fulfillment fee rate during 2017 as compared to 2016 as a result of a modification to the mortgage banking services agreement in September 2016. 

Summarized below are our fulfillment fees:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

Net mortgage loan servicing fees increased $32.2 million and $109.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases were due to a combination of increased mortgage loan servicing fees resulting from growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio and decreased net losses in fair value and impairment of MSRs and MSLs, net of hedging results, resulting from a smaller decline in interest rates during these periods in 2017 compared to 2016.

Mortgage loan servicing fees increased $31.2 million and $59.0 million during the quarter and nine months

72

ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 reflecting increases in our average servicing portfolio of 33% and 27% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase was partially offset by decreasing mortgage loan servicing fees from the Advised Entities due to a reduction  in fees related to the servicing of distressed mortgage loans as their distressed mortgage loan portfolios continue to liquidate. The decrease of $1.0 million and $50.2 million in amortization, impairment and MSR, MSL and ESS valuation adjustments during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 reflect the effect of interest rates, which were higher and declined less steeply during these periods in 2017 compared to 2016. Higher interest rates discourage refinancings which extend the expected life of the servicing asset, thereby contributing to a smaller decline in the fair value of MSRs.

Management fees and Carried Interest

Management fees and Carried Interest are summarized below:

Investment Funds		29,955		201,802
	$	1,640,520	$	1,556,720

Base management fees from PMT increased $1.0 million and $1.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The changes were due to increases in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity, upon which its base management fees are calculated. The increase of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily due to the issuance of additional equity by PMT in the form of preferred shares. The performance incentive fees increased $304,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulting from an increase in PMT’s net income during the period over which incentive fees are calculated.

Management fees from the Investment Funds decreased $318,000 and $674,000, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases were due to a reduction in the Investment Funds’ net asset values as a result of the substantial liquidation of the Investment Funds’ investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

Carried Interest income from Investment Funds decreased $1.3 million and $2.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases were driven by the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Investment Funds during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and subsequent revaluation of the Investment Funds’ assets upon which the Carried Interest is based.

73

Other revenues

Net interest income increased $6.8 million and net interest expense decreased $11.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase in interest income and the decrease in interest expense are primarily due to an increase in interest income on mortgage loans held for sale as a result of an increase in average mortgage loan inventory and an increase in the placement fees we receive relating to the custodial funds that we manage, partially offset by an increase in interest expense incurred to fund the growth in our average inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and to finance our MSRs.

Change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT decreased $20,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, and increased $52,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The changes reflect the share price fluctuations in our investment in PMT. We held 75,000 common shares of PMT during each of the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, with fair value of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at the end of each period.

Expenses

Compensation

Our compensation expense is summarized below:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands)
Salaries and wages	$	58,179	$	55,464	$	171,053	$	153,687
Incentive compensation		20,821		26,623		44,449		52,374
Taxes and benefits		10,174		9,155		31,489		26,700
Stock and unit-based compensation		4,243		4,890		14,633		14,816
	$	93,417	$	96,132	$	261,624	$	247,577
Head count:
Average		3,046		2,829		2,981		2,673
Period end		3,093		2,928

Compensation expense decreased $2.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily due to reduced incentive compensation expenses, reflecting lower expected attainment of profitability targets in 2017 as compared to 2016. Compensation expense increased $14.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in base salaries due to increased average head count resulting from the growth in our mortgage banking activities partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation due to lower than expected attainment of profitability targets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. 

Servicing

Servicing expense increased $2.8 million and $20.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases were primarily due to growth in the Company’s mortgage loan servicing portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2016 and increased early buyouts of delinquent mortgage loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2016. The early buyout program reduces the ultimate cost of servicing such mortgage loan pools when we purchase and either sell the defaulted mortgage loans to third-party investors or finance them with debt at interest rates below the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rate at which we would otherwise be required to advance. Such purchases accelerate loss recognition when the mortgage loans are purchased. However, anticipated losses relating to such servicing advances are contemplated in the valuation of our MSRs and therefore the early buyout of delinquent mortgage loans included in Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools has an offsetting positive effect on our MSR valuation.

74

Technology

Technology expense increased $4.2 million and $12.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to our continued investment in loan production and servicing infrastructure.

Expenses Allocated to PMT

We are reimbursed by PMT for other expenses, including common overhead expenses we have incurred on PMT’s behalf, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement with PMT.  We present the expense amounts in the consolidated statements of income net of these allocations.

Common overhead expense amounts allocated to PMT are summarized below:

Other		274		277		794		1,112
Total expenses	$	1,193	$	1,417	$	4,220	$	6,413

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 12.4% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30 2017, compared to 12.2% and 12.0% during the same periods in 2016, respectively. The difference between our effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into our shares, we expect an increase in allocated earnings that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates, which will in turn increase our effective income tax rate.

Stockholders' equity		1,590,291		1,399,356
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity	$	6,388,369	$	5,133,902

Total assets increased $1.3 billion from $5.1 billion at December 31, 2016 to $6.4 billion at September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $762.8 million in mortgage loans held for sale at fair value resulting from growth in our mortgage loan production inventory, an increase of $388.8 million in our investment in MSRs reflecting continued additions from our mortgage loan production activities and servicing portfolio acquisitions and a $202.1 million increase in mortgage loans eligible for repurchase, partially offset by a $85.7 million decrease in servicing advances and a $62.4 million decrease in Carried Interest due from Investment Funds.

Total liabilities increased by $1.1 billion from $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2016 to $4.8 billion as of September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings to fund growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value and our investments in MSRs.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below:

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		Change
	(in thousands)
Operating	$	(646,441)	$	(1,916,072)	$	1,269,631
Investing		(285,301)		98,665		(383,966)
Financing		900,083		1,806,662		(906,579)
Net decrease in cash	$	(31,659)	$	(10,745)	$	(20,914)

Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $31.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as discussed below.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $646.4 million and $1.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily due to the growth of our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value.

76

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $285.3 million primarily due to purchases of MSRs totaling $167.5 million. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $98.7 million primarily due to $173.7 million in net settlements of derivative financial instruments received in our hedging of MSRs partially offset by acquisitions of fixed assets and capitalized software.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $900.1 million and $1.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily to finance the growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value and our investments in MSRs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, margin calls relating to hedges, tax receivable agreement payments to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company LLC unitholders and tax distributions to noncontrolling interest holders), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our borrowing activities are in the form of assets sold under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation certificates, notes payable, the Credit Agreement, ESS and a capital lease. While the GMSR term note, ESS and the capital lease have intermediate to long-term maturities, most of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for terms of approximately one year. We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until longer-term financing becomes more available.Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of their maturity dates in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average outstanding, maximum and ending balances:

	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)
Repurchase agreements outstanding:
Average balance	$	1,960,332	$	1,515,632	$	1,854,786	$	1,303,313
Maximum daily balance	$	2,564,756	$	2,550,035	$	2,581,199	$	2,550,035
Balance at end of period	$	2,096,965	$	2,491,366

Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us to comply with various financial covenants. The most significant financial covenants specific to PLS currently include the following:

· positive net income for any calendar quarter;

· a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $40 million;

· a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million;

· a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and

· at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets similar to those being financed under one of our existing secured financing agreements.

77

With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under its debt agreements. Covenants of PLS in PMT’s debt agreements are at least equal to, or less restrictive, than the covenants described above.

In addition to the covenants noted above, our Credit Agreement (classified as a note payable) and capital lease contain additional financial covenants specific to PennyMac including, but not limited to,

· a minimum of cash and carried interest equal to the amount borrowed under the Credit Agreement;

· a minimum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents equal to $40 million;

· a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million;

· a minimum asset coverage ratio (the ratio of the total asset amount to the total commitment) of 2.5; and

· a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth of 5:1.

Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.

Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

We are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of FHFA, and for approved single-family issuers in the case of Ginnie Mae, as summarized below:

· FHFA liquidity requirement is equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of the amount by which total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB exceeds 6% of the applicable Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines;

· FHFA net worth requirement is a minimum net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced and a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

· Ginnie Mae single-family issuer minimum liquidity requirement is equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and

· Ginnie Mae net worth requirement is equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.

We believe that we are currently in compliance with the applicable Agency requirements.

We have purchased portfolios of MSRs and have financed them in part through the sale to PMT of the right to receive ESS. The outstanding amount of the ESS financing is based on the current valuation of such ESS and amounts received on the underlying mortgage loans.

78

The Repurchase Program allows us to repurchase up to $50 million of the Company’s Class A common stock using open market stock purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.  The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock. We intend to finance the Repurchase Program through cash on hand. 

We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, bank loans, repurchase agreements, securitization transactions and corporate debt. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

As of September 30, 2017, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2017, we had contractual obligations aggregating $7.9 billion, comprised of borrowings, commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans, a payable to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC unitholders under a tax receivable agreement, and anticipated payments related to excess servicing spread financing. We also lease our office facilities and license certain software to support our loan servicing operations.

All agreements to repurchase assets and mortgage loan participation and sale agreements that matured between September 30, 2017 and the date of this Report have been renewed, extended or repaid and are described in Note 11—Borrowings in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Payment obligations under these agreements are summarized below:

(1) The ESS financing obligation payable to PMT does not have a stated contractual maturity date and will pay down as the underlying MSRs receive the excess servicing fee due to PMT.

79

(2) Software licenses include both volume and activity based fees that are dependent on the number of loans serviced during each period and include a base fee of approximately $1.3 million per month. Estimated payments for software licenses above are based on the number of loans currently serviced by us, which totaled approximately 1.2 million at September 30, 2017. Future amounts due may significantly fluctuate based on changes in the number of loans serviced by us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, software license fees totaled $15.2 million.

The amount at risk (the fair value of the assets pledged plus the related margin deposit, less the amount advanced by the counterparty and accrued interest) relating to our assets sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized by counterparty below as of September 30, 2017:

Debt Obligations

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through borrowings with major financial institution counterparties in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, two notes payable, ESS and a capital lease. The borrower under each of these facilities is PLS with the exception of the Credit Agreement, which is classified as a note payable, and the capital lease, in each case where the borrower is PennyMac. All PLS obligations as previously noted are guaranteed by PennyMac.

Under the terms of these agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

The agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

In addition, the agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and fair value risk.

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The stock repurchase program does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased are based on market conditions and other factors, including price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. Stock repurchases may be effected through negotiated transactions or open market purchases, including pursuant to a trading plan implemented pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
