Acquisition of Security One Lending

On December 31, 2012, in connection with the execution of a stock purchase agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Security One Lending, or S1L. Based in San Diego, California, S1L is a retail and wholesale reverse mortgage loan originator. S1L has a long-standing relationship with RMS, as S1L has been delivering loans using RMS’s technology and RMS has acquired a significant amount of S1L’s reverse origination production during recent years. The acquisition of S1L will enhance RMS’s position as an issuer of reverse mortgage product, while also significantly increasing RMS’s retail origination presence. The Company obtained effective control over S1L through an economic closing on December 31, 2012. A legal closing subsequently occurred on April 30, 2013. The economic closing required acquisition method accounting in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for business combinations. Accordingly, the financial results for S1L have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on December 31, 2012. Refer to Note 3 for further information regarding the acquisition of S1L.

Interim Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s material estimates and assumptions primarily arise from risks and uncertainties associated with interest rate volatility, prepayment volatility, credit exposure and borrower mortality rates and include, but are not limited to, the allowance for loan losses as well as the valuation of residential loans, receivables, servicing rights, goodwill and intangibles, real estate owned, derivatives, curtailment liability, mortgage-backed debt and the HMBS related obligations. Although management is not currently aware of any factors that would significantly change its estimates and assumptions in the near term, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Changes in Presentation

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company renamed servicing revenues and fees within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income to net servicing revenues and fees and reclassified amortization of servicing rights that was previously included as part of depreciation and amortization to net servicing revenue and fees. Given the growth in the Company’s third party servicing portfolio resulting from recent acquisitions, this change in presentation was made to better reflect the economics of servicing activities. This change in presentation resulted in a reduction of $13.2 million and $26.1 million to historical servicing revenue and fees and depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company also renamed net fair value gains (losses) to other net fair value gains (losses) and separated net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations that were previously included in historical net fair value gains (losses) to its own line item in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company segregated residential loans at amortized cost, net and residential loans at fair value into two separate line items in the consolidated balance sheets. These assets were previously shown in the aggregate in residential loans, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reclassifications and Error Corrections

During the second and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company made immaterial corrections of errors in certain amounts in its consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 as well as to acquisition date fair values at July 1, 2011 of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from the acquisition of GTCS Holdings, LLC, or Green Tree. Amounts received by the Company and required to be legally segregated in separate bank accounts have been corrected by reclassifying balances from cash and cash equivalents to restricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, amounts for which the Company does not meet the right of offset criteria have been corrected by reclassifying balances from servicer and protective advances to servicer payables. Lastly, cash balances that were overdrawn at period end have been corrected by reclassifying balances from payables and accrued liabilities to cash and cash equivalents as the legal right of offset exists within the same banking institution. These revisions had no impact on the Company’s net income. The impact of correcting these errors was a decrease of $3.7 million to cash flows provided by operating activities, an increase of $1.5 million to cash flows provided by investing activities and a decrease of less than $0.1 million to cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Accounting for Recently Purchased Servicing Rights

At December 31, 2012 and during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company purchased mortgage servicing right portfolios as part of certain business combination and asset purchase transactions. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company, in consultation with its advisors, made a correction to its accounting for servicing rights and related intangible assets. There was no significant impact on previously reported net income, earnings per share, stockholders’ equity, or on net cash used in operating activities as a result of this change. The Company has concluded that the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2012, or for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Prior to the change, values assigned to these acquired portfolios were reflected in servicing rights and related intangible assets, net. Effective with the change, the entire value is now reflected in servicing rights, net. As a result, servicing rights increased and other intangible assets decreased by $412.4 million and $17.4 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Also, intangible amortization and net servicing revenue and fees were each reduced by $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The year-to-date footnote disclosures related to servicing rights and intangibles also reflect corrections, including revision of certain market data assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these servicing rights. Also, the previously disclosed estimate of intangible amortization expected to be expensed in future periods will now be reflected in service revenue and fees as a realization of expected cash flows for the related servicing rights; however, the timing of recognition may differ since the intangible amortization model differs from the servicing rights fair value measurement model.

Servicing Rights Fair Value Election

Prior to January 1, 2013, all servicing rights were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently accounted for at amortized cost. In addition, the Company classified its servicing rights as either a forward loan class or a reverse loan class. Given recent acquisitions and based upon anticipated risk management strategies, effective January 1, 2013 the Company began classifying its servicing rights as a risk-managed forward loan class, a forward loan class or a reverse loan class. The forward loan class and the reverse loan class continue to be accounted for at amortized cost. The Company has elected to account for the new risk-managed forward loan class at fair value effective as of January 1, 2013. The risk-managed forward loan class consists of servicing rights acquired in 2013 as well as servicing rights acquired as part of an MSR pool on December 31, 2012. The servicing rights acquired as part of an MSR pool were previously accounted for at amortized cost, however are now accounted for at fair value retrospective to January 1, 2013. This election on January 1, 2013 had no impact on retained earnings. Refer to Notes 2 and 11 for further information regarding servicing rights.

Recent Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an accounting standards update to require disclosure of information about the effect of rights of setoff with certain financial instruments on an entity’s financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies the aforementioned offsetting disclosure requirements. The disclosure requirements are only applicable to rights of setoff of certain derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with standards set forth by the FASB Codification or master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company has adopted the amendments in these standards effective in the first quarter of 2013. Adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additional required disclosures are included in Note 7.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires presentation for reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The Company has adopted the amendments in this standard effective in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this standard had an immaterial effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and as such, the required presentation is not included herein.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Included in Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that are significant to the financial results of the Company as a result of the recent business combinations and asset purchases.

Residential Loans Held For Sale

Residential loans held for sale represent loans originated or acquired by the Company with the intent to sell. These loans are originated or acquired primarily for purposes of transferring to government sponsored entities, or GSEs, or other third party investors in the secondary market with servicing rights either retained or sold. The Company has elected to carry residential loans held for sale at fair value. The yield on the loans and any changes in fair value are recorded in net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The yield on the loans includes recognition of interest income based on the stated interest rates of the loans that are expected to be collected, as well as any fair value adjustments. Gains or losses recognized upon sale of residential loans held for sale are also included in net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Loan origination fees are recorded in other revenues within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when earned and related costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred.

Table of Contents

The Company’s agreements with GSEs and other third parties include representations and warranties related to the loans the Company sells. The representations and warranties require adherence to GSE origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the 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 its representations and warranties, which are generally enforceable at any time over the life of the loan, the Company may be required to either repurchase the residential loans at par with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer for applicable incurred losses. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the residential loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it has to correspondent lenders that, in turn, have sold such mortgage loans to the Company and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender. The Company actively contests claims to the extent that the Company does not consider the claims to be valid. The Company seeks to manage the risk of repurchase and associated credit exposure through the Company’s underwriting and quality assurance practices and by servicing residential loans to meet investor standards.

The Company records a provision for losses relating to such representations and warranties as part of its loan sale transactions at the time the loan is sold in accordance with the accounting guidance for guarantees. The provision is a reduction in the net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, historical defect rates, repurchase rates, resale rates and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. The liability established at the time loans are sold, which is recorded in payables and accrued liabilities, is continually updated based on changes in estimates, with those changes recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The level of the liability for representations and warranties requires considerable management judgment. The level of residential loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors and external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Refer to Note 22 for further discussion.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk and changes in the fair value of forward loans held for sale. Derivative transactions are measured in terms of the notional amount. The notional amount is generally not exchanged and is used only as a basis on which interest and other payments are determined. The Company has elected to record derivative assets and liabilities and related collateral on a gross basis, even when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Company and the derivative counterparty.

The Company enters into commitments to purchase and originate forward loans at interest rates that are determined prior to funding. Commitments to originate loans, which are referred to as interest rate lock commitments, or IRLCs, and loan purchase commitments, or LPCs, are considered freestanding derivatives, as these instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP, and are recorded at fair value at inception. Changes in fair value subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan and for commitments to originate loans, changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time. The aggregate fair values of IRLCs and LPCs in the consolidated balance sheet are recorded in other assets or payables and accrued liabilities. The interest exposure on the Company’s IRLCs and LPCs is economically hedged with forward sales commitments, the fair value of which is also recorded in other assets or payables and accrued liabilities. Management has elected not to designate the freestanding derivative forward sales commitments as hedges under GAAP. Changes in the fair value of the IRLCs, LPCs and related forward sales commitments are recognized as gain or loss on sale of forward loans held for sale included in net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Cash flows related to IRLCs, LPCs and forward sales commitments are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows to match the cash flows of the hedged item.

Servicing Rights

Servicing rights are an intangible asset representing the right to service a portfolio of loans. Capitalized servicing rights historically related to servicing and sub-servicing contracts acquired in connection with business combinations. Additionally, the Company has recently acquired the rights to service loans through the purchase of such rights from third parties or through the transfer of purchased or originated loans with servicing rights retained. Servicing rights are recorded at fair value at inception and are subsequently accounted for using the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, based on the Company’s strategy for managing the risks of the underlying portfolios. Risks inherent in servicing rights include prepayment and interest rate risks. Refer to Note 11 for information regarding accounting for servicing rights.

The Company identifies classes of servicing rights based upon the availability of market inputs used in determining their fair values and its planned risk management strategy associated with the servicing rights. Based upon these criteria, the Company has identified three classes of servicing rights: a risk-managed forward loan class, or the risk-managed loan class, a forward loan class and a reverse loan class. The risk-managed loan class includes loan portfolios for which the Company could apply a hedging strategy in the future. Servicing assets associated with the forward loan class and the reverse loan class are amortized based on expected cash flows in proportion to and over the life of net servicing income. Amortization is recorded as a reduction to servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Servicing assets are stratified by product type and compared to the estimated fair value on a quarterly basis. To the extent that the carrying value for a stratum exceeds its estimated fair value, a valuation allowance is established with an impairment loss recognized in other expenses, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. If the fair value of the impaired servicing asset increases, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the servicing asset as a reduction in the valuation allowance. The Company recognizes a direct impairment to the servicing asset when the valuation allowance is determined to be unrecoverable.

Table of Contents

For servicing assets associated with the risk-managed loan class, which are accounted for at fair value, the Company measures the fair value at each reporting date and records changes in fair value in net servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Curtailment Liability

The Company is required to service its portfolio of loans on behalf of third parties in accordance with certain regulations established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and GSEs. In certain instances in which servicing requirements are not followed or certain timelines are missed, referred to as servicing errors, the Company is potentially exposed to a curtailment of interest which results in an obligation to the investor in the loans or to HUD depending on facts and circumstances surrounding the servicing error. The Company accounts for its obligations for servicing errors as loss contingencies, and accruals for expected losses are recorded when the losses are deemed both probable and able to be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for these potential liabilities, however, facts and circumstances may change that could cause the actual liabilities to exceed the estimates, or that may require adjustments to the recorded liability balances in the future. Refer to the Reverse Mortgage Servicing section of Note 22 for further information related to servicing errors.

3. Acquisitions

ResCap Net Assets

On January 31, 2013, the Company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities relating to all of ResCap’s Fannie Mae MSRs and related servicer advances, and ResCap’s mortgage originations and capital markets platforms for an adjusted purchase price of $487.2 million. At closing, the ResCap Fannie Mae MSRs were associated with loans totaling $42.3 billion in unpaid principal balance. The Company made cash payments of $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $477.0 million on January 31, 2013, which were partially funded with net proceeds from an October 2012 common stock offering and borrowings from the Company’s incremental secured credit facility. The total cash paid of $492.0 million is subject to purchase price adjustments during the 120-day period subsequent to the closing date. Any purchase price adjustment is subject to a 60-day review period by the seller. The Company has agreed to extend the seller’s review period for an additional 30 days. The total cash paid in excess of the adjusted purchase price is refundable to the Company at the end of the adjustment period. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance.

The purchase consideration of $487.2 million was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2013 for provisional adjustments to certain liabilities existing at the acquisition date.

Servicer and protective advances acquired in connection with the acquisition of the ResCap net assets have a fair value of $186.2 million and gross contractual amounts receivable of $195.9 million, of which $9.7 million is not expected to be collected. The ResCap net assets have been allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments. Refer to Note 21 for further information regarding segments. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed. The primary factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill are the expected future earnings and projections of growth. The goodwill related to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets was allocated to the Originations segment, of which $45.7 million is expected to be tax deductible.

The amount of revenues and net income related to the ResCap net assets and Ally Bank net assets included in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $318.0 million and $121.5 million, respectively, and for the period from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2013 were $398.4 million and $135.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred $3.0 million in acquisition-related costs to acquire the ResCap net assets, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. No acquisition-related costs associated with the ResCap net assets were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Ally Bank Net Assets

Security One Lending

The purchase price of the S1L acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2012 included contingent earn-out payments to be paid in cash of up to $10.9 million dependent on the achievement of certain designated performance targets over the twelve months following the acquisition. The Company recorded a liability for the contingent earn-out payments of $6.1 million at December 31, 2012 based on the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments at that time. At June 30, 2013, the Company revised its estimate of the fair value of contingent earn-out payments to $10.9 million, the maximum earn-out, based on S1L’s performance during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recorded losses related to the adjustment of the fair value of this contingent earn-out of $1.1 million and $4.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which is included in other net fair value gains in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table presents the pro forma combined revenues and net income as if the ResCap net assets and the Ally Bank net assets had been acquired on January 1, 2012 and RMS and S1L on January 1, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

The pro forma financial information is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions of RMS, S1L, the ResCap net assets and Ally Bank net assets, or the Acquisitions, had taken place on the dates indicated above. The amounts have been calculated to reflect additional fair value adjustments, depreciation and amortization that would have been incurred assuming the Acquisitions had occurred on the dates indicated above together with the consequential tax effects. The pro forma adjustments also include interest expense on debt issued to consummate the acquisition of the ResCap net assets. The pro forma financial information excludes costs incurred which were directly attributable to the Acquisitions and which do not have a continuing impact on the combined operating results.

Costs Associated with Exit Activities

As a result of the acquisition of Green Tree on July 1, 2011, the Company took steps in 2011 to manage and optimize the combined operations of the consolidated company. The major costs incurred as a result of these actions are severance and other-related costs, which are recorded in salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Charges associated with these exit activities have not been allocated to business segments and are included in Other in Note 21. The Company completed these exit activities at the end of October 2012; final payments or other settlements are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2013.

The following table summarizes the accrued liability, which is included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and the related charges and cash payments and other settlements associated with these activities (in thousands):

4. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Securitization trusts that the Company consolidates and in which it holds residual interests are referred to as the Residual Trusts. Securitization trusts that have been consolidated and in which the Company does not hold residual interests are referred to as the Non-Residual Trusts.

Residual Trusts

The Company has historically funded its residential loan portfolio through securitizations and evaluates each securitization trust to determine if it meets the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, and whether or not the Company is required to consolidate the trust. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of twelve securitization trusts for which it owns residual interests, and as a result, has consolidated these VIEs. As a holder of the residual securities issued by the trusts, the Company has both the obligation to absorb losses to the extent of its investment and the right to receive benefits from the trusts, both of which could potentially be significant. In addition, as the servicer for these trusts, the Company concluded it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trusts through its ability to manage the delinquent assets of the trusts. Specifically, the Company has discretion, subject to applicable contractual provisions and consistent with prudent mortgage-servicing practices, to decide whether to sell or work out any loans that become troubled.

The Company is not contractually required to provide any financial support to the Residual Trusts. The Company may, from time to time at its sole discretion, purchase certain assets from the trusts to cure delinquency or loss triggers for the sole purpose of releasing excess overcollateralization to the Company. Based on current performance trends, the Company does not expect to provide financial support to the Residual Trusts.

For the Residual Trusts, interest income earned on the residential loans and interest expense incurred on the mortgage-backed debt, both of which are carried at amortized cost, are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in interest income on loans and interest expense, respectively. Additionally, the Company records its estimate of probable incurred credit losses associated with the residential loans in provision for loan losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Interest receipts on residential loans and interest payments on mortgage-backed debt are included in operating activities, while principal payments on residential loans are included in investing activities and issuances of and payments on mortgage-backed debt are included in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Non-Residual Trusts

The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of ten securitization trusts for which it does not own any residual interests. The Company does not receive economic benefit from the residential loans while the loans are held by the Non-Residual Trusts other than the servicing fees paid to the Company to service the loans. However, as part of a prior agreement to acquire the rights to service the loans in these securitization trusts, the Company has certain obligations to exercise mandatory clean-up calls for each of these trusts at their earliest exercisable dates, which is the date each loan pool falls to 10% of the original principal amount. The Company will take control of the remaining collateral in the trusts when these calls are exercised, thus the clean-up call is deemed a variable interest as the Company will be required under this obligation to absorb any losses of the VIEs subsequent to these calls, which could potentially be significant to each VIE. Additionally, as servicer of the VIEs, the Company has concluded that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.

The Company is not contractually required to provide any financial support to the Non-Residual Trusts. However, as described above, the Company is obligated to exercise the mandatory clean-up call obligations it assumed as part of the agreement to acquire the rights to service the loans in these trusts. The Company expects to call these securitizations beginning in 2017 and continuing through 2019. The total outstanding balance of the residential loans expected to be called at the various respective call dates is $418.3 million.

For seven of the ten Non-Residual Trusts and four securitization trusts that have not been consolidated, the Company, as part of an agreement to service the loans in all eleven trusts, also has an obligation to reimburse a third party for the final $165.0 million in letters of credit, or LOCs, if drawn, which were issued to the eleven trusts by a third party as credit enhancements to these trusts. As the LOCs were provided as credit enhancements to these securitizations, the trusts will draw on these LOCs if there are insufficient cash flows from the underlying collateral to pay the debt holders. The total amount available on these LOCs for all eleven securitization trusts was $280.8 million and $285.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Based on the Company’s estimates of the underlying performance of the collateral in these securitizations, the Company does not expect that the final $165.0 million will be drawn, and therefore, no liability for the fair value of this obligation has been recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; however, actual performance may differ from this estimate in the future. For further information on the four securitization trusts that have not been consolidated by the Company, refer to the Unconsolidated VIEs section of this Note.

Table of Contents

For the Non-Residual Trusts, the change in fair value of residential loans, receivables, net and mortgage-backed debt, all of which are carried at fair value, are included in other net fair value gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Included in other net fair value gains (losses) is the interest income that is expected to be collected on the residential loans and the interest expense that is expected to be paid on the mortgage-backed debt as well as the accretion of the fair value adjustments. Accordingly, the servicing fee that the Company earns for servicing the assets of the Non-Residual Trusts is recognized in other net fair value gains (losses) as a component of the recognition of the interest income on the loans. The non-cash component of other net fair value gains (losses) is recognized as an adjustment in reconciling net income to the net cash provided by or used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Principal payments on residential loans and draws on receivables, net are included in investing activities while payments on mortgage-backed debt are included in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Servicer and Protective Advance Financing Facility

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or the Subsidiary, engages in operating activities that are restricted to the purchase of servicer and protective advances from certain of the Company’s affiliates and assignment of those advance receivables to various lenders under a financing agreement with a third-party agent. Due to these restrictions, the Subsidiary is deemed to be a VIE as the Company is deemed both to have the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the Subsidiary, as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns, which could be potentially significant.

The assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary represent servicer and protective advances purchased from affiliates and obligations to lenders under a financing agreement, or the Receivables Loan Agreement. The amount of purchased advances under the Receivables Loan Agreement is classified as servicer and protective advances, net while the amount of obligations to lenders under the Receivables Loan Agreement is recorded as servicing advance liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The assets of the Subsidiary are pledged as collateral to satisfy the obligations of lenders under the Receivables Loan Agreement. Those obligations are not cross-collateralized and the lenders do not have recourse to the Company.

Interest expense associated with the Receivables Loan Agreement is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in servicer and protective advances are included in operating activities while the issuances of and payments on servicing advance liabilities are included in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The assets of the consolidated VIEs are pledged as collateral to the servicing advance liabilities and mortgage-backed debt and are not available to satisfy claims of general creditors of the Company. The mortgage-backed debt issued by each consolidated securitization trust is to be satisfied solely from the proceeds of the residential loans and other collateral held in the trusts while the servicing advance liabilities are to be satisfied from the recoveries or repayments from the underlying advances. The consolidated VIEs are not cross-collateralized and the holders of the mortgage-backed debt issued by the trusts and lenders under the Receivables Loan Agreement do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Unconsolidated VIEs

The Company has variable interests in VIEs that it does not consolidate as it has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.

Servicing Arrangements with Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation

As described in the Consolidated VIEs section above, as part of an agreement to service the loans in eleven securitization trusts, the Company has an obligation to reimburse a third party for the final $165.0 million in LOCs if drawn. The LOCs were issued by a third party as credit enhancements to these eleven securitizations and, accordingly, the securitization trusts will draw on these LOCs if there are insufficient cash flows from the underlying collateral to pay the debt holders.

As noted above, the Company has determined that for seven of these securitization trusts, the Company is the primary beneficiary due to a mandatory clean-up call obligation related to these trusts and, accordingly, the Company has consolidated the seven trusts in the consolidated balance sheets. However, for the four remaining securitization trusts for which the Company does not have a mandatory clean-up call obligation, the Company’s involvement consists only of servicer and the LOC reimbursement obligation. As explained in the Consolidated VIEs section above, the Company does not expect that the final $165.0 million in LOCs will be drawn. As the Company’s only involvement is that of servicer and the LOC reimbursement obligation, which is not expected to be drawn, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts as it does not have a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Accordingly, the four securitization trusts have not been consolidated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company serviced $210.4 million and $223.3 million of loans related to the four unconsolidated securitization trusts at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

5. Transfers of Residential Loans

Transfers of Reverse Loans

In connection with the acquisition of RMS, the Company is an approved issuer of the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities, or HMBS. The HMBS securities are guaranteed by GNMA and collateralized by participation interests in Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, or HECMs, insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or FHA. The Company both originates and acquires HECM reverse mortgage loans. The loans are then pooled into HMBS securities that are sold into the secondary market with servicing rights retained. Based upon the structure of the GNMA securitization program, the Company has determined that it has not met all of the requirements for sale accounting and therefore accounts for these transfers as secured borrowings. Under this accounting treatment, the HECM reverse mortgage loans remain on the consolidated balance sheets as residential loans. The proceeds from the transfer of assets are recorded as HMBS related obligations with no gain or loss recognized on the transfer. The holders of the HMBS beneficial interests have recourse to the Company to the extent of their participation in the HECM loans, but do not have recourse to the general assets of the Company.

The Company elected to measure reverse mortgage loans and HMBS related obligations at fair value. The change in fair value of the reverse mortgage loans and HMBS related obligations are included in net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Also included in net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations is the contractual interest income earned on the reverse mortgage loans and the contractual interest expense incurred on the HMBS related obligations as well as fair value adjustments. Net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations is recognized as an adjustment in reconciling net income to the net cash provided by or used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Purchases and originations of and principal payments received on reverse loans held for investment are included in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Proceeds from securitizations of reverse mortgage loans and payments on HMBS related obligations are included in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

At June 30, 2013, the unpaid principal balance associated with the residential loans and real estate owned pledged as collateral to the pools was $6.9 billion.

Transfers of Forward Loans

In connection with the acquisition of the ResCap net assets, the Company has grown its originations business. As part of its origination activities, the Company sells or securitizes forward loans it originates or purchases from third parties, generally in the form of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae. Securitization usually occurs within 30 days of loan closing or purchase. The Company may retain servicing rights associated with the transferred loans for which it receives a servicing fee for services provided. The Company acts only as the servicer and does not have a variable interest in the securitization trusts and, as a result, these loans are accounted for as sales upon transfer.

Table of Contents

The Company elected to measure residential loans held for sale at fair value. The gains and losses on the transfer of loans held for sale are included in net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Also included in net gains on sales of loans is interest income earned during the period the loans were held, changes in fair value of loans and the gain or loss on the related derivatives. Refer to Note 7 for information on these derivative financial instruments. All residential loans held for sale and related derivative balances are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table presents a summary of cash flows related to transfers of forward loans accounted for as sales (in thousands):

In connection with these transfers, the Company recorded servicing rights of $36.3 million and $37.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. All servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value using a Level 3 measurement technique based on the present value of projected cash flows over the estimated period of net servicing income. Refer to Note 11 for information relating to servicing of residential loans.

Certain guarantees arise from agreements associated with the sale of the Company’s residential loans. Under these agreements, the Company may be obligated to repurchase, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred, due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties. Refer to Note 22 for further information.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets that relate to its continued involvement with forward loans that have been transferred with servicing rights retained and the unpaid principal balance of transferred loans (in thousands):

At June 30, 2013, there were $0.3 million in transferred residential loans serviced by the Company that were 60 days or more past due. There were no charge-offs, net of recoveries associated with these transferred loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

6. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Basis or Measurement

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The accounting guidance concerning fair value allows the Company to elect to measure financial instruments at fair value and report the changes in fair value through net income or loss. This election can only be made at certain specified dates and is irrevocable once made. The Company has elected to measure all reverse mortgage assets and liabilities and residential loans held for sale as well as servicing rights related to the risk-managed loan class at fair value. For all other assets and liabilities, the Company does not have a fair value election policy, but rather makes the election on an instrument-by-instrument basis as they are acquired or incurred. The Company elected to measure at fair value residential loans, receivables and mortgage-backed debt associated with the Non-Residual Trusts. In addition, with the acquisitions of Green Tree and S1L, the Company recognized contingent liabilities for a mandatory repurchase obligation, a professional fees liability related to certain securitizations, and contingent earn-out payments that it measures at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations.

Transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy levels are assumed to be as of the end of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3, and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

All gains and losses of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of gains and losses on IRLCs and servicing rights carried at fair value, are recognized in either other net fair value gains (losses) or net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Gains and losses relating to IRLCs are recorded in net gains on sales of loans and changes in fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value are recorded in net servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Total gains and losses included in net income include interest income and expense at the stated rate for interest bearing assets and liabilities, respectively, accretion and amortization, and the impact of changes in valuation inputs and assumptions.

The Company’s valuation committee determines and approves all valuation policies and unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of all items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, except for IRLCs and the contingent earn-out payments. The valuation committee consists of certain members of the management team responsible for accounting, treasury, servicing operations and credit risk. The valuation committee meets on a quarterly basis to review the assets and liabilities that require fair value measurement, including how each asset and liability has actually performed in comparison to the unobservable inputs and the projected performance provided by the Company’s credit risk group. The valuation committee also reviews discount rate assumptions and related available market data. Similar procedures are followed by the Company’s asset liability committee responsible for IRLCs and a sub-set of management responsible for the contingent earn-out payments. These fair values are approved by senior management.

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the basis for classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Residential loans at fair value

Reverse loans — These loans are not traded in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company estimates fair value using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the loans. The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the loans including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayment, default, mortality, and discount rates. Collateral performance assumptions are primarily based on analyses of historical and projected performance trends, as well as the Company’s assessment of current and future economic conditions. The discount rate assumption for these assets is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields on newly originated HECM loans, expected duration of the asset, and current market interest rates.

Residential loans related to Non-Residual Trusts — These loans are not traded in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company estimates fair value using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the loans. The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the loans including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayment, default, loss severity and discount rates. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuation for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. Collateral performance assumptions are primarily based on analyses of historical and projected performance trends, as well as the Company’s assessment of current and future economic conditions. The discount rate assumption for these assets is primarily based on the collateral and credit risk characteristics of these loans, combined with an assessment of market interest rates.

Forward loans held for sale — These loans are valued using a market approach by utilizing published forward agency prices. The Company classifies these loans as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Receivables related to Non-Residual Trusts — The Company estimates the fair value of these receivables using Level 3 unobservable market inputs at the net present value of expected cash flows from the LOCs to be used to pay debt holders over the remaining life of the securitization trusts. The estimate of the cash to be collected from the LOCs is based on expected shortfalls of cash flows from the loans in the securitization trusts, compared to the required debt payments of the securitization trusts. The cash flows from the loans, and thus the cash to be provided by the LOCs, is determined by analyzing the credit assumptions for the underlying collateral in each of the securitizations. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuation for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. The discount rate assumption for these assets is based on the risk-free market rate given the credit risk characteristics of the collateral supporting the LOCs. Receivables related to Non-Residual Trusts are recorded in receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

Servicing rights carried at fair value — The Company accounts for servicing rights associated with the risk-managed loan class at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of these servicing rights using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, default rates and discount rates. These assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by the Company and can have a significant impact on the determination of the servicing rights’ fair value.

Derivative instruments — Fair values of IRLCs and LPCs are derived by using valuation models incorporating current market information or by obtaining market or dealer quotes for instruments with similar characteristics, and in the case of IRLCs, are adjusted for anticipated loan funding probability or fallout, which is a significant unobservable input. IRLCs and LPCs are classified as Level 3 and Level 2, respectively. The fair value of forward sales commitments is determined based upon the difference between the settlement values of the commitments and the quoted market values of the securities; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2. Counterparty credit risk is taken into account when determining fair value. Derivative instruments are included in either other assets or payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7 for additional information on derivative financial instruments.

Table of Contents

Mandatory repurchase obligation — This contingent liability relates to a mandatory obligation for the Company to repurchase loans from an investor when the loans become 90 days delinquent. The Company estimates the fair value of this obligation based on the expected net present value of expected future cash flows using Level 3 assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing these liabilities including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayment, default and loss severity rates applicable to the historical and projected performance of the underlying loans. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuation for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. Collateral performance assumptions are primarily based on analyses of historical and projected performance trends, as well as the Company’s assessment of current and future economic conditions. The discount rate assumption for this liability is primarily based on collateral characteristics combined with an assessment of market interest rates. The mandatory repurchase obligation is included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Professional fees liability related to certain securitizations — This contingent liability primarily relates to payments for surety and auction agent fees that the Company will be required to make over the remaining life of certain consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts. The Company estimates the fair value of this liability using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of the expected cash flows of the professional fees required to be paid related to the securitization trusts. The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing these liabilities including, but not limited to, estimates of collateral repayment, default and discount rates. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuation for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. Collateral performance assumptions are primarily based on analyses of historical and projected performance trends, as well as the Company’s assessment of current and future economic conditions. The discount rate assumption for this liability is primarily based on collateral characteristics combined with an assessment of market interest rates. The professional fees liability related to certain securitizations is included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contingent earn-out payments — The estimated fair value of this contingent liability at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 is based on the average earn-out payment under multiple outcomes as determined by a Monte-Carlo simulation, discounted to present value using credit-adjusted discount rates. The average payment outcomes calculated by the Monte-Carlo simulation were derived utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs, the most significant of which include the assumptions for forecasted financial performance of S1L and financial performance volatility. At June 30, 2013, the Company revised its estimate of the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments to $10.9 million, the maximum earn-out, based on S1L’s performance during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The entire earn-out recorded at June 30, 2013 is expected to be paid by the end of January 2014. Contingent earn-out payments are included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Mortgage-backed debt related to Non-Residual Trusts — This debt is not traded in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company estimates fair value using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value of the debt is based on the net present value of the projected principal and interest payments owed for the remaining life of the securitization trusts. The Company’s valuation considers assumptions and estimates for principal and interest payments on the debt. An analysis of the credit assumptions for the underlying collateral in each of the securitization trusts is performed to determine the required payments to debt holders. The assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing debt include, but are not limited to, prepayment, default, loss severity and discount rates, as well as the balance of LOCs provided as credit enhancement. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuation for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. Credit performance assumptions are primarily based on analyses of historical and projected performance trends, as well as the Company’s assessment of current and future economic conditions. The discount rate assumption for this debt is primarily based on credit characteristics combined with an assessment of market interest rates.

HMBS related obligations — The Company recognizes the proceeds from the sale of HMBS as a secured borrowing, which is accounted for at fair value. This liability is not traded in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company estimates fair value using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability. The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the liability including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayments, discount rate and borrower mortality rates for reverse mortgages. The discount rate assumption for these liabilities is based on an assessment of current market yields for newly issued HMBS, expected duration, and current market interest rates. The yield on seasoned HMBS is adjusted based on the duration of each HMBS and assuming a constant spread to the swap curve.

Table of Contents

At the time a residential loan becomes real estate owned, the Company records the property at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Upon foreclosure and through liquidation, the Company evaluates the property’s fair value as compared to its carrying amount and records a valuation adjustment, which is recorded in other expenses, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The Company reported real estate owned, net of $47.8 million, $18.9 million and $1.7 million in the Loans and Residuals, Reverse Mortgage and Other segments, respectively at June 30, 2013. The Company reported real estate owned, net of $49.1 million, $13.9 million and $2.0 million in the Loans and Residuals, Reverse Mortgage and Other segments, respectively at December 31, 2012. In determining fair value, the Company’s accounting department either obtains appraisals or performs a review of historical severity rates of real estate owned previously sold by the Company. When utilizing historical severity rates, the properties are stratified by acquisition type and length held. The severity rates are reviewed for reasonableness by comparison to third-party market trends and fair value is determined by applying severity rates to the stratified population. Management approves valuations that have been determined using the historical severity rate method.

Real estate owned expenses, net, which are recorded in other expenses, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, were $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.5 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in real estate owned expenses, net are lower of cost or fair value adjustments of $0.3 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.3 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the methods and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, cash collateral for forward sale commitments, other payables and accrued liabilities, and servicer payables — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their highly liquid or short-term nature.

Residential loans at amortized cost — The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of residential loans at amortized cost are the same as those described for residential loans related to Non-Residual Trusts carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

Insurance premium receivables — The estimated fair value of these receivables is based on the net present value of the expected cash flows. The determination of fair value includes assumptions related to the underlying collateral serviced by the Company, such as delinquency and default rates, as the insurance premiums are collected as part of the customers’ loan payments or from the related trusts.

Servicer and protective advances, net — The estimated fair value of these advances is based on the net present value of expected cash flows. The determination of expected cash flows includes consideration of recoverability clauses in the Company’s servicing agreements, as well as assumptions related to the underlying collateral, when proceeds may be used to recover these receivables.

Payables to insurance carriers — The estimated fair value of these liabilities is based on the net present value of the expected carrier payments over the life of the payables.

Servicing advance liabilities — The estimated fair value of these liabilities is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the expected life of the liabilities at estimated market rates.

Debt — The Company’s term loan and convertible debt are not traded in an active, open market with readily observable prices. The estimated fair value of this debt is based on an average of broker quotes. The estimated fair value of the Company’s other debt, including master repurchase agreements, approximates their carrying amounts due to their highly liquid or short-term nature.

Mortgage-backed debt carried at amortized cost — The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of mortgage-backed debt carried at amortized cost are the same as those described for mortgage-backed debt related to Non-Residual Trusts carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

Fair Value Option

The Company elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments, including residential loans, receivables and mortgage-backed debt related to the Non-Residual Trusts, residential loans held for sale, and reverse mortgage loans and the HMBS related obligations. The fair value option was elected for these assets and liabilities as the Company believes fair value best reflects the expected future economic performance of these assets and liabilities. The yields on residential loans of the Non-Residual Trusts and reverse mortgage loans along with any changes in fair values are recorded in either other net fair value gains (losses) or net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The yield on residential loans held for sale along with any changes in fair value are recorded in net gains on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The yield on the loans includes recognition of interest income based on the stated interest rates of the loans that is expected to be collected as well as accretion of fair value adjustments.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Residential Loans at Amortized Cost and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses inherent in the residential loan portfolio accounted for at amortized cost as of the balance sheet date. This portfolio is made up of one segment and class that consists primarily of less-than prime, credit challenged residential loans. The risk characteristics of the portfolio segment and class relate to credit exposure. The method for monitoring and assessing credit risk is the same throughout the portfolio.

Residential loans accounted for at amortized cost are homogeneous and are collectively evaluated for impairment. The determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses and, correspondingly, the provision for loan losses, is based on, but not limited to, delinquency levels and trends, default frequency experience, prior loan loss severity experience, and management’s judgment and assumptions regarding various matters, including the composition of the residential loan portfolio, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the estimated value of the underlying real estate collateral, the level of the allowance in relation to total loans and to historical loss levels, current economic and market conditions within the applicable geographic areas surrounding the underlying real estate, changes in unemployment levels and the impact that changes in interest rates have on a borrower’s ability to refinance their loan and to meet their repayment obligations. Management evaluates these assumptions and various other relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses when quantifying the Company’s exposure to credit losses and assessing the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses as of each reporting date. The level of the allowance is adjusted based on the results of management’s analysis. Generally, as residential loans season, the credit exposure is reduced, resulting in decreasing provisions.

While there has been some stabilization in residential property values, there has not been significant improvement in property values particularly in more rural areas of the southeastern U.S. market. Additionally, there are continued high unemployment levels and a generally uncertain economic backdrop. As a result, the Company expects the allowance for loan losses to continue to remain elevated until such time as it experiences a sustained improvement in the credit quality of the residential loan portfolio. The future growth of the allowance is highly correlated to unemployment levels and changes in home prices within the Company’s markets.

While the Company considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used by management in determining the allowance for loan losses.

Loan Modifications

The Company will occasionally modify a loan agreement at the request of the borrower. The Company’s current modification program offered to borrowers is limited and is used to assist borrowers experiencing temporary hardships and is intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company and to avoid foreclosure. Generally, the Company’s modifications are short-term interest rate reductions and/or payment deferrals with forgiveness of principal rarely granted. A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are typically already on non-accrual status and have an allowance recorded. At times, loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring by the Company may have the financial effect of increasing the allowance associated with the loan. The allowance for an impaired loan that has been modified in a troubled debt restructuring is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs. Troubled debt restructurings have historically been insignificant to the Company and are expected to continue to be insignificant in the future as the Company’s business model continues to shift from being a mortgage portfolio owner to a fee-based business services provider.

Aging of Past Due Residential Loans

Residential loans at amortized cost are placed on non-accrual status when any portion of the principal or interest is 90 days past due. When placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. Interest income on non-accrual loans, if received, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Residential loans are removed from non-accrual status when there is no longer significant uncertainty regarding collection of the principal and the associated interest. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accruing status, the accrued interest, at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status, and forgone interest during the non-accrual period, are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria. The past due or delinquency status of residential loans is generally determined based on the contractual payment terms. The calculation of delinquencies excludes from delinquent amounts those accounts that are in bankruptcy proceedings that are paying their mortgage payments in contractual compliance with the bankruptcy court approved mortgage payment obligations. Loan balances are charged off when it becomes evident that balances are not collectible.

Credit Risk Profile Based on Delinquencies

Factors that are important to managing overall credit quality and minimizing loan losses are sound loan underwriting, monitoring of existing loans, early identification of problem loans, timely resolution of problems, an appropriate allowance for loan losses, and sound nonaccrual and charge-off policies. The Company primarily utilizes delinquency status to monitor the credit quality of the portfolio. Monitoring of residential loans increases when the loans are delinquent. The Company considers all loans 30 days or more past due to be non-performing. The classification of delinquencies, and thus the non-performing calculation, excludes from delinquent amounts those accounts that are in bankruptcy proceedings that are paying their mortgage payments in contractual compliance with the bankruptcy court approved mortgage payment obligations.

(1) Includes $28.5 million in reverse loans held for sale at December 31, 2012. There were no reverse loans held for sale at June 30, 2013.

Residential Loans Held for Investment

Residential loans held for investment and accounted for at fair value include forward loans that are held in the Non-Residual Trusts and reverse mortgage loans. At acquisition, the fair value of residential loans acquired outside of a business combination is the purchase price of the residential loans, which is determined primarily based on the outstanding principal balance, the probability of future default and the estimated amount of loss from default. Acquisition and origination of residential loans held for investment relate primarily to reverse loans. The Company acquired reverse loans to be held for investment in the amount of $462.2 million and $1.3 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and originated $338.0 million and $608.1 million in reverse loans held for investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Residential Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates, purchases and sells forward loans into the secondary market. The Company typically transfers these loans to Fannie Mae, which are then transferred into securitization trusts. In connection with these transactions, loans are converted into mortgage-backed securities that are sold to third-party investors. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales and typically retains the right to service the loans. Refer to Note 5 for transfer of residential loan activities.

Servicing Rights

Servicing rights are represented by three classes, which consist of a risk-managed loan class, a forward loan class and a reverse loan class. These classes are based on the availability of market inputs used in determining the fair values of servicing rights and the Company’s planned risk management strategy associated with the servicing rights. At initial recognition, the fair value of the servicing right is established using assumptions consistent with those used to establish the fair value of existing servicing rights. Subsequent to initial capitalization, servicing rights are accounted for using either the fair value method or the amortization method based on the servicing class. Servicing rights accounted for at amortized cost consist of the forward loan class and the reverse loan class. Servicing rights accounted for at fair value consist of the risk-managed loan class.

Servicing rights accounted for at amortized cost are evaluated for impairment by strata based on their estimated fair values. The risk characteristics used to stratify servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment are the type of loan products, which consist of manufactured housing loans, first lien residential mortgages and second lien residential mortgages for the forward loan class and reverse mortgages for the reverse loan class. At June 30, 2013, the fair value of servicing rights for the forward loan class and the reverse loan class was $203.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012 the fair value of servicing rights for the forward loan class and the reverse loan class was $229.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively. Fair value was estimated using the present value of projected cash flows over the estimated period of net servicing income. The estimation of fair value requires significant judgment and uses key economic inputs and assumptions, which are provided in the table below (dollars in thousands):

The valuation of servicing rights is affected by the underlying assumptions including discount rate and prepayments of principal and defaults or repayment rates. Should the actual performance and timing differ materially from the Company’s projected assumptions, the estimate of fair value of the servicing rights could be materially different.

(1) Purchases of servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 2013 include $495.7 million in servicing rights related to the BOA asset purchase.

The fair value of servicing rights accounted for at fair value was estimated using the present value of projected cash flows over the estimated period of net servicing income. The estimation of fair value requires significant judgment and uses key economic inputs and assumptions, which are provided in the table below (dollars in thousands):

 

     June 30, 2013  

Servicing rights at fair value

   $ 880,950   

Inputs and assumptions:

  

Weighted-average remaining life in years

     5.4   

Weighted-average stated customer interest rate on underlying collateral

     5.04

Weighted-average discount rate

     9.37

Conditional prepayment rate

     9.31

Conditional default rate

     4.02

The valuation of servicing rights is affected by the underlying assumptions including prepayments of principal, defaults and discount rate. Should the actual performance and timing differ materially from the Company’s projected assumptions, the estimate of fair value of the servicing rights could be materially different.

The following table summarizes the hypothetical effect on the fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value using adverse changes of 10% and 20% to the weighted-average of certain significant assumptions used in valuing these assets (dollars in thousands):

 

     June 30, 2013  
     Actual     Decline in fair value due to  
       10% adverse change     20% adverse change

     9.31     (45,753     (88,032

Conditional default rate

     4.02     (11,523     (22,676

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Term Loan

On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Incremental Amendment, to its Term Loan. The Incremental Amendment, among other things, increased certain financial ratios that govern the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and provided for a secured term loan, or the Incremental Loan, in an amount of $825.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on January 31, 2013. In conjunction with this incremental borrowing, the Company recorded $4.7 million in general and administrative expenses and $5.3 million in deferred debt issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

On March 14, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2, or the Credit Agreement Amendment, to its Term Loan. The Credit Agreement Amendment changes certain financial definitions in the Term Loan to clarify that net cash receipts in connection with the issuance of reverse mortgage securities and the servicing of reverse mortgages count towards pro forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, and excess cash flow for purposes of the Term Loan.

On June 6, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Second Incremental Amendment, to its Term Loan. The Second Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Second Incremental Loan, in the amount of $200.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on June 6, 2013. All material terms of the loans under the Second Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

Master Repurchase Agreements

During 2012 and 2013, the Company entered into several master repurchase agreements, primarily in conjunction with its acquisitions, which are used to fund the origination of mortgage loans. The facilities have an aggregate capacity amount of $2.4 billion at June 30, 2013 and are secured by certain residential loans. The interest rates on the facilities are primarily based on London InterBank Offered Rates, or LIBOR, plus between 2.25% and 3.50%, in some cases are subject to a LIBOR floor or other minimum rates and have various expiration dates through May 2014. The facilities are secured by $1.8 billion in residential loans at June 30, 2013.

All of the Company’s master repurchase agreements contain customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. Financial covenants that are most sensitive to the operating results and resulting financial position are minimum tangible net worth requirements, indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio requirements, and minimum liquidity and profitability requirements. At June 30, 2013, RMS would not have been in compliance with a certain financial covenant contained in its master repurchase agreements due to RMS’ recognition of a net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2013. As a result, RMS obtained waivers from each respective counterparty by either waiving the requirement to comply with this financial covenant or decreasing the profitability requirement to allow for a net loss.

16. Mortgage-Backed Debt and Related Collateral

Mortgage-Backed Debt

Mortgage-backed debt consists of debt issued by the Residual and Non-Residual Trusts that have been consolidated by the Company. The mortgage-backed debt of the Residual Trusts is carried at amortized cost while the mortgage-backed debt of the Non-Residual Trusts is carried at fair value. Refer to Note 4 for further information regarding the consolidated Residual and Non-Residual Trusts.

Borrower remittances received on the residential loans collateralizing this debt and draws under LOCs serving as credit enhancements to certain Non-Residual Trusts are used to make the principal and interest payments due on the mortgage-backed debt. The maturity of the mortgage-backed debt is directly affected by principal prepayments on the collateral. As a result, the actual maturity of the mortgage-backed debt is likely to occur earlier than the stated maturity. Certain of the Company’s mortgage-backed debt issued by the Residual Trusts is also subject to redemption according to specific terms of the respective indenture agreements, including the option to exercise a clean-up call. The mortgage-backed debt issued by the Non-Residual Trusts is subject to mandatory clean-up calls. The Company is obligated to exercise the clean-up calls on the earliest possible call date, which is the date the principal amount of each loan pool falls to 10% of the original principal amount. The total outstanding balance of the residential loans expected to be called at the various respective call dates is $418.3 million.

Residual Trusts

The Residual Trusts consist of the consolidated securitization trusts that are beneficially owned by the Company. These trusts have issued mortgage-backed and asset-backed notes, or the Trust Notes, consisting of both public debt offerings and private offerings with final maturities ranging from 2029 to 2050.

 

42


Table of Contents

The Residual Trusts, with the exception of WIMC Capital Trust 2011-1, contain provisions that require the cash payments received from the underlying residential loans be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Trust Notes unless certain overcollateralization or other similar targets are satisfied. These trusts contain delinquency and loss triggers, that, if exceeded, allocate any excess cash flows to paying down the outstanding principal balance of the Trust Notes for that particular securitization at an accelerated pace. Assuming no servicer trigger events have occurred and the overcollateralization targets have been met, any excess cash is released to the Company either monthly or quarterly, in accordance with the terms of the respective underlying trust agreements. For Trust 2011-1, principal and interest payments are not paid on the subordinate note or residual interests, which are held by the Company, until all amounts due on the senior notes are fully paid.

Since January 2008, Mid-State Capital Corporation 2006-1 Trust has exceeded certain triggers and has not provided any excess cash flow to the Company. The delinquency rate for the trigger calculations, which includes real estate owned, was 9.64% at June 30, 2013 compared to a trigger level of 8.00% and the cumulative loss rate for trigger calculations was 7.51% at June 30, 2013 compared to a trigger level of 6.00%. In addition, from September 2012 through February 2013, Mid-State Capital Corporation 2005-1 Trust, or Trust 2005-1, exceeded the delinquency rate trigger of 8.00%. At March 31, 2013, the delinquency rate for Trust 2005-1 was cured and remains cured as of June 30, 2013. Trust 2005-1 did not exceed the cumulative loss rate trigger during September 2012 through February 2013. Certain triggers for Trust 2005-1 and Mid-State Trust X were exceeded in November 2009 and October 2006, respectively, and cured in 2010.

Non-Residual Trusts

The Company has consolidated ten trusts for which it is the servicer, but does not hold any residual interests. The Company is obligated to exercise mandatory clean-up call obligations for these trusts and expects to call these securitizations beginning in 2017 and continuing through 2019. The total outstanding balance of the residential loans expected to be called at the various respective call dates is $418.3 million.

Collateral for Mortgage-Backed Debt

At June 30, 2013, the Residual and Non-Residual Trusts have an aggregate of $2.0 billion of principal in outstanding debt, which is collateralized by $2.5 billion of assets, including residential loans, receivables related to the Non-Residual Trusts, real estate owned, net and restricted cash and cash equivalents. For seven of the ten Non-Residual Trusts, LOCs were issued by a third party as credit enhancements to these securitizations and, accordingly, the securitization trusts will draw on these LOCs if there are not enough cash flows from the underlying collateral to pay the debt holders. The notional amount of expected draws under the LOCs at June 30, 2013 was $51.5 million. The fair value of the expected draws of $50.9 million at June 30, 2013 has been recognized as receivables related to Non-Residual Trusts, which is a component of receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheet. All of the Company’s mortgage-backed debt is non-recourse and not cross-collateralized and, therefore, must be satisfied exclusively from the proceeds of the residential loans and real estate owned held in each securitization trust and from the draws on the LOCs for certain Non-Residual Trusts.

17. Share-Based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted 1,037,362 options that cliff vest in 3 years based upon a service condition and have a ten year contractual term. The weighted-average fair value of the stock options of $15.01 was based on the estimate of fair value on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and related assumptions. Also during this period, the Company issued 15,260 shares of fully vested common stock to its non-employee directors. The fair value of the common stock of $34.40 was based on the average of the high and low sales prices on the date of issuance. The Company’s share-based compensation expense has been reflected in salaries and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

18. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $95.3 million and $0.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.0% and 44.8%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of and $114.1 million and $3.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.0% and 38.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 results primarily from changes in corporate operations during the current year, which were driven by our recent business and asset acquisitions.

Income Tax Exposure

The Company was part of the Walter Energy consolidated group prior to the spin-off from Walter Energy, the principal agent, on April 17, 2009. As such, the Company is jointly and severally liable with Walter Energy for any final taxes, interest and/or penalties owed by the Walter Energy consolidated group during the time that the Company was a part of the Walter Energy consolidated group. However, in connection with the spin-off of the Company’s business from Walter Energy, the Company and Walter Energy entered into a Tax Separation Agreement dated April 17, 2009, pursuant to which Walter Energy is responsible for the payment of all federal income taxes (including any interest or penalties applicable thereto) of the consolidated group. Nonetheless, to the extent that Walter Energy is unable to pay any amounts owed, the Company could be responsible for any unpaid amounts including, according to Walter Energy’s most recent public filing on Form 10-Q, those related to the following:

 

   

The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, has filed a proof of claim for a substantial amount of taxes, interest and penalties with respect to fiscal years ended August 31, 1983 through May 31, 1994. The public filing goes on to disclose that issues have been litigated in bankruptcy court and that an opinion was issued by the court in June 2010 as to the remaining disputed issues. The filing further states that the amounts initially asserted by the IRS do not reflect the subsequent resolution of various issues through settlements or concessions by the parties. Walter Energy believes that any financial exposure with respect to those issues that have not been resolved or settled by the Proof of Claim is limited to interest and possible penalties and the amount of tax assessed has been offset by tax reduction in future years. All of the issues in the Proof of Claim, which have not been settled or conceded, have been litigated before the Bankruptcy Court and are subject to appeal but only at the conclusion of the entire adversary proceedings.

 

   

The IRS completed its audit of Walter Energy’s federal income tax returns for the years ended May 31, 2000 through December 31, 2005. The IRS issued 30-Day Letters to Walter Energy proposing changes to tax for these tax years which Walter Energy has protested. Walter Energy’s filing states that the disputed issues in this audit period are similar to the issues remaining in the above-referenced dispute and therefore Walter Energy believes that its financial exposure for these years is limited to interest and possible penalties.

 

   

While the IRS had completed its audit of Walter Energy’s federal income tax returns for the years 2006 to 2008 and issued 30-Day Letters to Walter Energy proposing changes to tax for these tax years which Walter Energy has protested, the IRS reopened the audit of these periods in 2012. Walter Energy’s filing states that the disputed issues in this audit period are similar to the issue remaining in the above-referenced dispute and therefore Walter Energy believes that its financial exposure for these years is limited to interest and possible penalties.

 

   

Walter Energy reports that the IRS is conducting an audit of Walter Energy’s tax returns filed for 2009 and 2010. Since examination is ongoing, Walter Energy cannot estimate the amount of any resulting tax deficiency or overpayment, if any.

Walter Energy believes that all of its current and prior tax filing positions have substantial merit and intends to defend vigorously any tax claims asserted and they believe that they have sufficient accruals to address any claims, including interest and penalties, and as a result, believes that any potential difference between actual losses and costs incurred and the amounts accrued would be immaterial.

The Tax Separation Agreement also provides that Walter Energy is responsible for the preparation and filing of any tax returns for the consolidated group for the periods when the Company was part of the Walter Energy consolidated group. This arrangement may result in conflicts between Walter Energy and the Company. In addition, the spin-off of the Company from Walter Energy was intended to qualify as a tax-free spin-off under Section 355 of the Code. The Tax Separation Agreement provides generally that if the spin-off is determined not to be tax-free pursuant to Section 355 of the Code, any taxes imposed on Walter Energy or a Walter Energy shareholder as a result of such determination, or Distribution Taxes, which are the result of the acts or omissions of Walter Energy or its affiliates, will be the responsibility of Walter Energy. However, should Distribution Taxes result from the acts or omissions of the Company or its affiliates, such Distribution Taxes will be the responsibility of the Company. The Tax Separation Agreement goes on to provide that Walter Energy and the Company shall be jointly liable, pursuant to a designated allocation formula, for any Distribution Taxes that are not specifically allocated to Walter Energy or the Company. To the extent that Walter Energy is unable or unwilling to pay any Distribution Taxes for which it is responsible under the Tax Separation Agreement, the Company could be liable for those taxes as a result of being a member of the Walter Energy consolidated group for the year in which the spin-off occurred. The Tax Separation Agreement also provides for payments from Walter Energy in the event that an additional taxable dividend is required to cure a REIT disqualification from the determination of a shortfall in the distribution of non-REIT earnings and profits made immediately following the spin-off. As with Distribution Taxes, the Company will be responsible for this dividend if Walter Energy is unable or unwilling to pay.

Other Tax Exposure

On June 28, 2010, the Alabama Department of Revenue, or ADOR, preliminarily assessed financial institution excise tax of approximately $4.2 million, which includes interest and penalties, on a predecessor entity for the years 2004 through 2008. This tax is imposed on financial institutions doing business in the State of Alabama. The Company was informed that the ADOR had requested legal advice with regard to the application of certain provisions of the Alabama Constitution in response to issues the Company had previously raised in its protests to the initial assessments. In November 2012, the Company received communication from the State of Alabama that they anticipate issuing a final assessment if payment is not made. The Company has contested the assessment and believes that it did not meet the definition of a financial institution doing business in the State of Alabama as defined by the Alabama Tax Code.

The Company’s unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, or RSUs, are considered participating securities. During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share for common stock is adjusted to exclude the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock and RSUs from the numerator and exclude the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not include 5.9 million shares and 1.6 million shares for the three months ended June 30 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 5.4 million shares and 1.6 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their effect would have been antidilutive. The convertible senior subordinated notes, or convertible notes, are antidilutive when calculating earnings per share when the Company’s average stock price is less than $58.80. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company may pay or deliver, at its option, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. It is the Company’s intent to settle all conversions through combination settlement, which involves repayment of an amount of cash equal to the principal amount and any excess of conversion value over the principal amount in shares of common stock.

21. Segment Reporting

Management has organized the Company into six reportable segments based primarily on its services as follows:

 

   

Servicing — consists of operations that perform servicing for third-party investors of residential mortgages, manufactured housing and consumer installment loans and contracts, as well as for the Loans and Residuals segment and for the Non-Residual Trusts. Beginning in the first quarter of 2013, the Servicing segment services forward loans that have been originated or purchased by the Originations segment and sold to third-parties with servicing rights retained.

 

   

Asset Receivables Management — performs collections of post charge-off deficiency balances on behalf of third-party securitization trusts and other asset owners.

 

   

Insurance — provides voluntary and lender-placed hazard insurance for residential loans, as well as other ancillary products, through the Company’s insurance agency for a commission and a reinsurer to third parties as well as to the Loans and Residuals segment.

 

   

Loans and Residuals — consists of the assets and mortgage-backed debt of the Residual Trusts and the unencumbered held for investment forward residential loan portfolio and real estate owned.

 

   

Reverse Mortgage — consists of operations that purchase and originate reverse mortgage loans that are securitized but remain on the consolidated balance sheet as collateral for secured borrowings. This segment also performs servicing for third party investors in reverse mortgage loans and provides other ancillary services for the reverse mortgage market.

 

   

Originations — consists of operations that originate and purchase forward loans that are sold to third parties with servicing rights generally retained. The Originations segment was previously included in the Other segment, but became a reportable operating segment because of growth in the business resulting from the acquisition of the ResCap net assets. Activity prior to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets primarily consisted of brokerage operations whereby the Originations segment received origination commissions.

The Company has revised its presentation of financial results by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to reflect the results of its Originations segment, which was previously included in Other. Also, as discussed in Note 1, during the three months ended June 30, 2013 the Company changed the accounting for recently purchased servicing rights. As a result, servicing rights and related changes in fair value have been reallocated to the Servicing segment from the Insurance and Originations segments. This change increased income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 recognized by the Insurance and Originations segments by $0.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and decreased income before taxes by $14.1 million for the Servicing segment.

The Company also revised its method of allocating assets to business segments during the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result, the Company has recast segment assets of the prior periods to reflect the new allocation method on a consistent basis for all periods presented. The revised asset allocation primarily includes intersegment receivables and current and deferred tax assets in the calculation of total segment assets whereas they previously were not included. As of June 30, 2012, the change in method increased assets allocated to the Servicing, Insurance, Loans and Residuals, Originations, and Other segments by $6.5 million, $29.3 million, $16.9 million, $2.9 million, and $288.9 million, respectively, and decreased assets allocated to the Asset Receivables Management segment and eliminations by $1.8 million and $342.7 million, respectively.

In order to reconcile the financial results for the Company’s reportable segments to the consolidated results, the Company has presented the revenue and expenses and total assets of the Non-Residual Trusts and other non-reportable operating segments, as well as certain corporate expenses, which have not been allocated to the business segments, in Other. Intersegment servicing and insurance revenues and expenses have been eliminated. Intersegment revenues are recognized on the same basis of accounting as such revenue is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

22. Commitments and Contingencies

Mandatory Repurchase Obligation

The Company has a mandatory obligation to repurchase loans at par from an investor when loans become 90 days past due. The total loans outstanding and subject to being repurchased were $81.3 million at June 30, 2013. The Company has estimated the fair value of this contingent liability at June 30, 2013 as $8.9 million, which is included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimates that the undiscounted losses to be incurred from the mandatory repurchase obligation over the remaining lives of the loans are $11.1 million at June 30, 2013.

Professional Fees Liability Related to Certain Securitizations

The Company has a contingent liability related to payments for certain professional fees that it will be required to make over the remaining life of various securitization trusts, which are based in part on the outstanding principal balance of the debt issued by these trusts. At June 30, 2013, the Company estimated the fair value of this contingent liability at $7.4 million, which is included in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimates that the gross amount of payments it expects to pay over the remaining lives of the securitizations is $9.9 million at June 30, 2013.

Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation

The Company has an obligation to reimburse a third party for the final $165.0 million in LOCs if drawn for an aggregate of eleven securitization trusts on the LOCs issued to these trusts by a third party. Seven of these securitization trusts were consolidated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets due to the Company’s mandatory clean-up call obligation related to these trusts. The LOCs were issued by a third party as credit enhancements to these eleven securitizations and, accordingly, the securitization trusts will draw on these LOCs if there are insufficient cash flows from the underlying collateral to pay the debt holders. The total amount available on these LOCs for all eleven securitization trusts was $280.8 million at June 30, 2013. Based on the Company’s estimates of the underlying performance of the collateral in these securitizations, the Company does not expect that the final $165.0 million will be drawn, and therefore, no liability for the fair value of this obligation has been recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, although actual performance may differ from this estimate in the future.

Mandatory Clean-Up Call Obligation

The Company is obligated to exercise the mandatory clean-up call obligations assumed as part of an agreement to acquire the rights to service the loans in the Non-Residual Trusts. The Company expects to call these securitizations beginning in 2017 and continuing through 2019. The total outstanding balance of the residential loans expected to be called at the respective call dates is $418.3 million.

Unfunded Commitments

The Company has floating rate reverse mortgage loans in which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $306.7 million, and similar commitments on fixed rate reverse mortgage loans of $4.2 million at June 30, 2013. This additional borrowing capacity is primarily in the form of undrawn lines of credit, with the balance available on a scheduled or unscheduled payment basis. The Company also has short-term commitments to lend $4.3 billion and commitments to purchase loans totaling $2.2 billion at June 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company has commitments to sell $7.5 billion in loans at June 30, 2013.

Transactions with Walter Energy

Following the spin-off in 2009 from Walter Energy, the Company and Walter Energy have operated independently, and neither has any ownership interest in the other. In order to allocate responsibility for overlapping or related aspects of their businesses, the Company and Walter Energy entered into certain agreements pursuant to which the Company and Walter Energy assume responsibility for various aspects of their businesses and agree to indemnify one another against certain liabilities that may arise from their respective businesses, including liabilities relating to certain tax and litigation exposure.

Representations and Warranties

The Company sells and securitizes conventional conforming and federally insured forward residential loans predominantly to GSEs, such as Fannie Mae. The Company may also sell residential loans, primarily those that do not meet criteria for whole loan sales to GSEs, through whole loan sales to private non-GSE purchasers. In doing so, representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans are made to the GSE or the third-party purchaser. Subsequent to the sale or securitization, if it is determined that the loans sold are in breach of these representations or warranties, the Company generally has an obligation to either: (a) repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan.

The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, management believes that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by the Company to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

The Company’s obligations vary based upon the nature of the repurchase demand and the current status of the residential loan. The Company’s estimate of the liability associated with risk and warranties exposure is $2.2 million at June 30, 2013 and is recorded in payables and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Third-Party Servicing Agreements

The Company has entered into a third-party servicing agreement with ResCap as debtors in possession in the Chapter 11 case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, or the ResCap Estate, pursuant to which the ResCap Estate is providing, on a short-term basis, certain services with regard to employees that the Company acquired in connection with its acquisition of the ResCap net assets.

Reverse Mortgage Servicing

The Company services loans originated and securitized by the Company or one of its subsidiaries and also services loans on behalf of securitization trusts or other investors. The Company’s servicing obligations are set forth in servicing agreements with the applicable counterparty which generally specify the standard of responsibility for actions the Company takes as a servicer. These servicer agreements provide that the servicer may be liable for failure to perform its servicing obligations and further provide remedies for certain servicer breaches.

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of RMS, the Company discovered a failure to record certain estimated liabilities to investors relating to servicing errors by RMS. Federal Housing Administration, or FHA, regulations provide that servicers meet a series of event-specific timeframes during the default, foreclosure, conveyance, and mortgage insurance claim cycles. Failure to timely meet any processing deadline may stop the accrual of debenture interest otherwise payable in satisfaction of a claim under the FHA mortgage insurance contract and the servicer may be responsible for making the investor whole for any interest curtailment due to not meeting the required event-specific timeframes. The Company has established a curtailment obligation liability of $44.8 million at June 30, 2013 related to the foregoing that reflects management’s best estimate of the probable lifetime claim. This liability is recorded in payables and accrued liabilities. The Company assumed $38.8 million of this liability, which has a corresponding offset to goodwill, through the acquisition of RMS. The remaining $6.0 million was recorded as a provision during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 in general and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The level of liability is difficult to estimate and requires significant management judgment as curtailment obligations are an emerging industry issue. The Company is in regular contact with HUD and other investors to monitor and address the current industry practices. While there may be opportunity to mitigate this loss, because of the uncertainty in the ultimate resolution of these matters as well as uncertainty in regards to the estimate underlying the curtailment obligation liability, there is potential financial statement exposures in excess of the recorded liability that are considered reasonably possible.

Litigation

As discussed in Note 18, Walter Energy is in dispute with the IRS on a number of federal income tax issues. Walter Energy has stated in its public filings that it believes that all of its current and prior tax filing positions have substantial merit and that Walter Energy intends to defend vigorously any tax claims asserted. Under the terms of the tax separation agreement between the Company and Walter Energy dated April 17, 2009, Walter Energy is responsible for the payment of all federal income taxes (including any interest or penalties applicable thereto) of the consolidated group, which includes the aforementioned claims of the IRS. However, to the extent that Walter Energy is unable to pay any amounts owed, the Company could be responsible for any unpaid amounts.

On July 24, 2013, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company, Mark O’Brien, Charles Cauthen, Denmar Dixon, Marc Helm and Robert Yeary captioned Cummings, et al. v. Walter Investment Management Corp., et al., 8:13-cv-01916-JDW-TBM. The Complaint asserts federal securities law claims against the Company and the individual defendants under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; additional claims are asserted against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that between May 9, 2012 and June 6, 2013 the Company and the individual defendants made material misstatements or omissions about the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting, including the reporting of expenses associated with certain financing transactions, and the liabilities associated with the Company’s acquisition of RMS. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the individuals or entities which purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities from May 9, 2012 through June 6, 2013. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously.

The Company is a party to a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such litigation will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

23. Subsequent Events

In April 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an MSR pool of reverse loans from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. The transfer to RMS is subject to the receipt of regulatory approval.

In May 2013, the Company amended its Receivables Loan Agreement, which provides borrowings and is collateralized by certain principal and interest, taxes and insurance and other corporate advances reimbursable from securitization trusts serviced by the Company. The amendment modified the definition of certain financial covenant requirements. All other terms of the agreement remained unchanged.

On July 17, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Incremental Amendment to its Term Loan, or the Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment. The Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment adds a prepayment premium in connection with re-pricings and increases the required amortization payments for the incremental term loan made to the Company in June 2013 pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment, so that the terms of such incremental term loans are identical to the terms of the other term loans outstanding under the existing Term Loan.

On July 23, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Third Incremental Amendment, to its Term Loan. The Third Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Third Incremental Loan, in the amount of $50.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on July 23, 2013. All material terms under the Third Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

On July 29, 2013, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with UFG Holdings, LLC, or UFG, a company controlled by an investor group led by Brian Libman, the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, which has agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Urban Financial Group, LLC, or Urban, from KCG Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of its agreement with UFG, and subject to the closing of the purchase of Urban, the Company will invest approximately $15.0 million in UFG in the form of an unsecured loan and will receive warrants entitling the Company to purchase up to 19% of the common units of UFG. In addition, RMS will enter into a forward flow agreement to purchase mortgage servicing rights originated by Urban. Effective with the closing of the transaction, which is expected during the fourth quarter of 2013, Mr. Libman will resign his position with the Company.

On August 1, 2013, the Company amended its Servicer Advance Reimbursement Agreement, which provides for the reimbursement of up to $950.0 million of certain principal and interest and protective advances that are the responsibility of the Company under certain servicing agreements. The amendment adjusted certain early reimbursement rate calculations and has an expiration date of December 31, 2013. All other material terms of the agreement remained unchanged.

The Company

Walter Investment Management Corp. and its subsidiaries, which may also be referred to as Walter Investment, the Company, we, our and us, is a full-service, fee-based provider to the residential mortgage industry. Our primary business provides value-added specialty servicing to the forward residential loan market across several product types including agency, non-agency, first and second lien and manufactured housing loans. Our specialty servicing business focuses on credit-sensitive residential mortgages. In addition to the forward loan servicing business, we have a leading franchise in the reverse mortgage sector that provides a full suite of services including loan servicing, loan origination, asset management and related technology. We operate several other related businesses that include a mortgage portfolio of credit-challenged, non-conforming residential loans, an insurance agency serving residential loan customers, and with the acquisition of the Residential Capital LLC, or ResCap, originations business in 2013, a fully integrated loan origination platform that primarily focuses on retention and recapture activities (Consumer Direct channel) for our servicing portfolio but also maintains sizable operations in the Retail and Correspondent lending channels. We operate throughout the United States, or U.S.

Market Opportunity and Strategy

Due to the dramatic shift in regulatory requirements, costs and scrutiny placed upon servicing residential mortgage assets, traditional servicers are exiting and/or moving the servicing requirements to specialty servicers to lesson risks and complexity. In addition, the federal Dodd-Frank Act increased the capital requirements for banks holding mortgage servicing assets thus compelling another reason to shed these assets. While delinquencies, defaults, and foreclosures remain high by historical standards, they have come down the past 12-18 months from their peaks. However, the lessons learned from the economic downturn, continue to emphasize the need to credit owners, that specialized servicers can make a meaningful and lasting impact on credit performance by utilizing a borrower-centric, high-touch servicing protocol.

As important as providing best-in-class service, however, is the ability to meet and quickly adapt to the ever changing landscape of regulatory requirements imposed by numerous federal, state and local authorities that oversee our business. While our recent business and mortgage servicing rights acquisitions have presented a number of challenges, we have been largely successful in meeting those challenges and living up to our demonstrated history of being compliant with these regulations, which we believe provides us with an advantage over our competitors.

In addition, we seek to leverage our core servicing business and customer base to provide complementary services. These complementary business lines include:

 

   

Asset Receivables Management: performs collections of delinquent balances on loans serviced for third parties after they have been charged off.

 

   

Insurance Agency: acts as a nationwide agent of primarily property and casualty insurance products for both lender-placed and voluntary insurance coverage.

 

   

Loan Originations: facilitates refinancing as a retention and recapture solution for loans we service.

Table of Contents

We are currently actively pursuing a number of opportunities to grow our business through multiple channels such as adding subservicing contracts to our portfolios through: one time transfers and flow agreements; the acquisition of mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, and servicing platforms; and acquisitions of businesses that are complementary to our historical platform (e.g., reverse mortgages). We are also pursuing opportunities to grow our loan originations business. We regularly explore such opportunities in the ordinary course of our business, both alone and with potential joint venture partners, and believe there are significant opportunities to acquire such assets. We refer to opportunities or potential opportunities in the market for products, platforms and businesses within our strategic profile that we have identified as targets as our “pipeline.” Our pipeline of potential transactions includes MSR acquisitions, subservicing contracts, assets and stock purchases, and joint venture arrangements, including those that involve assets and platforms that are originating new loans and MSRs as well as other complimentary activities. In the event we are successful in any such activities, it is likely that we will assume certain liabilities in connection with the acquisitions that could reduce the purchase price based on our valuation of such liabilities (which valuation is subject to our judgment and could differ from actual experience).

Executive Summary

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported net income of $143.2 million and $171.0 million, or $3.75 and $4.47 per diluted share, respectively, as compared to $0.4 million and $5.6 million, or $0.01 and $0.19 per diluted share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income of $142.8 million and $165.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, was primarily due to the acquisitions of Reverse Mortgage Solutions LLC, or RMS, and Security One Lending, or S1L, during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the acquisition of the ResCap net assets during the first quarter of 2013 described below.

We recognized core earnings before income taxes of $292.5 million and $385.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $29.1 million and $62.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in core earnings before income taxes of $263.4 million and $322.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of the prior year, respectively, was primarily attributable to growth of our servicing and originations businesses resulting from the acquisition of the ResCap net assets and our new reverse mortgage business resulting from the acquisition of RMS, which resulted in increased revenues partially offset by higher salaries and benefit expenses, excluding share based compensation, and general and administrative expenses. Salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses increased as a result of an increase in employees in conjunction with the acquisitions of RMS, S1L and the ResCap net assets as well as the overall growth in our servicing business. For a description of core earnings before income taxes, as used by management to evaluate our business and its performance, and a reconciliation of our consolidated income before income taxes under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, to our core earnings before income taxes, refer to the Business Segment Results section.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by management, was $262.1 million and $402.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $58.2 million and $117.3 million during the same periods of 2012, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $203.9 million and $284.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of the prior year, respectively, was primarily attributable to growth of our servicing and originations businesses and our new reverse mortgage business as discussed above. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA, as used by management to evaluate our business and its performance, and a reconciliation of our consolidated income before income taxes under GAAP to our Adjusted EBITDA, refer to the Business Segment Results section.

We used $2.1 billion in cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and finished the quarter with $532.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our operating cash flows decreased primarily as a result of the ramp up in our originations business which resulted in $5.3 billion used in purchases and originations of residential loans, partially offset by $3.8 billion in proceeds from sales of and payments on residential loans. We also had $124.7 million in funds available under our secured revolving credit facility at June 30, 2013.

We manage our Company in six reportable segments: Servicing; Assets Receivables Management, or ARM; Insurance; Loans and Residuals; Reverse Mortgage; and Originations. Refer to the Business Segment Results section for a presentation and discussion of our financial results by business segment. A description of the business conducted by each of these segments and related key financial highlights are provided below:

Servicing — Our Servicing business segment consists of operations that perform servicing for third-party investors in forward residential mortgages, manufactured housing and consumer installment loans and contracts, as well as for the Loans and Residuals segment and for the Non-Residual Trusts which are reported in the Other segment. The Non-Residual Trusts are consolidated variable interest entities, or VIEs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our Servicing segment recognized $145.4 million and $267.3 million in servicing fees, $26.3 million and $46.7 million in incentive and performance fees and $17.9 million and $32.3 million in ancillary and other fees, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net servicing revenue and fees also included fair value gains of $65.1 million and $44.0 million, respectively, partially offset by amortization of servicing rights of $10.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively.

ARM — Our ARM business segment performs collections of post charge-off deficiency balances on behalf of securitization trusts and third-party asset owners. Asset recovery revenue was $11.1 million and $21.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Insurance — Our Insurance business segment provides voluntary and lender-placed hazard insurance for residential loans, as well as other ancillary products, through our insurance agency for a commission. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net written premiums were $55.9 million and $103.2 million, respectively, which included lender-placed activity of $40.0 million and $69.4 million and voluntary activity of $15.9 million and $33.8 million during those same periods, respectively. Total insurance revenue was $18.1 million and $35.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Loans and Residuals — Our Loans and Residuals business segment consists of the assets and liabilities of the Residual Trusts, as well as our unencumbered residential loan portfolio and real estate owned, all of which are associated with forward loans. The Residual Trusts are consolidated VIEs. Our net interest margin was 4.07% and 3.98% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, down 26 and 10 basis points as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, primarily due to a decline in the portfolio as well as a higher average 90 days or more delinquency rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, both of which have impacted the yield on interest income.

Total delinquent loans have decreased to 5.93% at June 30, 2013 from 7.01% at December 31, 2012. The number of real estate owned properties has declined to 827 units at June 30, 2013, a reduction of 15 units from 842 units at December 31, 2012.

Reverse Mortgage — Our Reverse Mortgage business segment, which was formed in the fourth quarter of 2012 as a result of the acquisition of RMS, consists of operations that purchase and originate reverse mortgage loans that are securitized as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, or HECM, reverse mortgages, but remain on the consolidated balance sheet as collateral for secured borrowings, or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities, or HMBS, related obligations. This segment also performs servicing for third party investors in reverse mortgage loans and provides other ancillary services for the reverse mortgage market. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Reverse Mortgage business segment recognized $6.6 million and $13.4 million in net servicing revenue and fees and $26.7 million and $63.5 million in net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations, respectively.

Originations — Our Originations business segment consists of operations that purchase and originate forward loans that are sold to third parties with servicing rights generally retained. The Originations segment was previously included in the Other segment, but became a reportable operating segment because of growth in the business resulting from the acquisition of the ResCap net assets. Activity prior to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets, as described under the Acquisitions section immediately below, primarily consisted of brokerage operations whereby the Originations segment received origination commissions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Originations segment funded $4.7 billion and $5.1 billion in originations and purchases of loans and recognized $235.7 million and $309.8 million in net gains on sales of loans, respectively.

Acquisitions

On January 31, 2013, we acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities relating to all of ResCap’s Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, MSRs and related servicer advances, and ResCap’s mortgage originations and capital markets platforms, or the ResCap net assets, for an adjusted purchase price of $487.2 million.

On January 31, 2013, we purchased Fannie Mae MSRs from Bank of America, N.A., or the BOA asset purchase, for total consideration of $495.7 million. At closing, the BOA Fannie Mae MSRs were associated with loans totaling $84.4 billion in unpaid principal balance. As part of the asset purchase agreement, Bank of America, N.A. is to provide subservicing on an interim basis while the loan servicing is transferred in tranches to our servicing systems. As each tranche is boarded, we are also obligated to purchase the related servicer advances associated with the boarded loans. From the date of the closing through June 30, 2013, we have purchased $654.4 million of servicer advances as part of the asset purchase agreement. We anticipate that all servicing transfers will be completed by December 2013 and Bank of America, N.A. will cease to be the sub-servicer.

On March 1, 2013, we purchased the residential mortgage servicing platform, including certain servicing related technology assets, of MetLife Bank, N.A. located in Irving, Texas, or the MetLife Bank net assets, for total consideration of $1.0 million.

On March 1, 2013, we purchased the correspondent lending and wholesale broker businesses of Ally Bank, or the Ally Bank net assets, for total consideration of $0.1 million.

On July 29, 2013, we entered into a strategic relationship with UFG Holdings, LLC, or UFG, a company controlled by an investor group led by Brian Libman, our Chief Strategy Officer, which has agreed to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Urban Financial Group, LLC, or Urban, from KCG Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of its agreement with UFG, and subject to the closing of the purchase of Urban, we will invest approximately $15.0 million in UFG in the form of an unsecured loan and will receive warrants entitling us to purchase up to 19% of the common units of UFG. In addition, RMS will enter into a forward flow agreement to purchase mortgage servicing rights originated by Urban. Effective with the closing of the transaction, which is expected during the fourth quarter of 2013, Mr. Libman will resign his position with our Company.

Financing Transactions

On January 31, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 1, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Incremental Amendment, to our senior secured credit agreement, or Term Loan. The Incremental Amendment, among other things, increased certain financial ratios which govern our ability to incur additional indebtedness and provided for a secured term loan, or the Incremental Loan, in an amount of $825.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on January 31, 2013 and was used to fund the ResCap net asset acquisition and the BOA asset purchase.

On March 14, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 2, or the Credit Agreement Amendment, to our Term Loan. The Credit Agreement Amendment changes certain financial definitions in the Term Loan to clarify that net cash receipts in connection with the issuance of reverse mortgage securities and the servicing of reverse mortgages count towards pro forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and excess cash flows for purposes of the Term Loan.

On June 6, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 3, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Second Incremental Amendment, to our Term Loan. The Second Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Second Incremental Loan, in the amount of $200.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on June 6, 2013. All material terms of the loans under the Second Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

On July 17, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan, or the Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment. The Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment adds a prepayment premium in connection with re-pricings and increases the required amortization payments for the $200.0 million incremental term loan made to the Company on June 6, 2013 pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment, so that the terms of such incremental term loans are identical to the terms of the other term loans outstanding under the existing Term Loan.

On July 23, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 4, Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement, or the Third Incremental Amendment, to our Term Loan. The Third Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Third Incremental Loan, in the amount of $50.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on July 23, 2013. All material terms of the loan under the Third Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we entered into five additional master repurchase agreements with an aggregate capacity amount of $2.1 billion. These facilities will be primarily used to fund the origination of mortgage loan for the recently acquired ResCap originations business.

Net Servicing Revenue and Fees

We recognize servicing revenue and fees on servicing performed for third parties. This revenue includes contractual fees earned on the serviced loans, incentive and performance fees earned based on the performance of certain loans or loan portfolios serviced by us, and loan modification fees. Servicing revenue and fees also includes asset recovery income, which is included in incentive and performance fees, and ancillary fees such as late fees and prepayment fees. Servicing revenue earned on loans held by consolidated VIEs, which consists of both the Residual and Non-Residual Trusts, is eliminated in consolidation. Servicing revenue and fees, which consists of the revenues and fees discussed above, are adjusted for the amortization of servicing rights carried at amortized cost and the changes in fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value. Net servicing revenue and fees increased $168.6 million and $215.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due to growth in the average servicing portfolio of 96% or 915,000 accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 72% or 691,000 accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2013, resulting primarily from the ResCap net assets acquisition and the BOA asset purchase. The decline in amortization of servicing rights carried at amortized cost of $2.0 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, resulted primarily from the run-off of the related servicing portfolio. The net fair value gains on servicing rights carried at fair value relates to the newly established class of servicing rights that includes the servicing rights related to the ResCap net assets and the BOA asset purchase.

We received certain incentive fees for exceeding pre-defined performance hurdles in servicing various loan portfolios of $9.1 million and $16.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $7.0 million and $16.6 million during the same periods of 2012, respectively. These fees may not recur on a regular basis, as they are earned based on the performance of underlying loan pools as compared to comparable pools serviced by others, as well as the achievement of certain performance hurdles over time, which may not be achieved on a regular schedule.

Net Gains on Sales of Loans

Net gains on sales of loans consists of gains and losses on sales of loans held for sale, fair value adjustments on loans held for sale and related derivatives, and a provision for the repurchase of loans. Net gains on sales of loans were $235.9 million and $314.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due primarily to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets, which resulted in the growth of our originations business.

Interest Income on Loans

We earn interest income on the residential loans held in the Residual Trusts and on our unencumbered forward residential loans, both of which are accounted for at amortized cost. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, interest income decreased $3.7 million and $6.0 million as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, primarily due to a decline in the residential loan balance and a lower average yield resulting from a higher average 90 days or more delinquency rate. The annualized portfolio disappearance rate, consisting of contractual payments, voluntary prepayments and defaults, was 7.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Insurance Revenue

Insurance revenue consists of commission income and fees earned on voluntary and lender-placed insurance policies and other products sold to customers, net of estimated future policy cancellations, as well as premium revenue from captive reinsurers. Commission income is based on a percentage of the price of the insurance policy sold, which varies based on the type of product. Insurance revenue increased $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 due to a 43% increase in net written premiums, partially offset by a decrease in certain commission rates that were effective on January 1, 2013. Insurance revenue decreased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, due primarily as a result of a decrease in commissions rate, partially offset by a 17% increase in net written premiums.

Other Revenues

Other revenues consist primarily of management fee income, origination fee income and accretion of certain acquisition-related fair value adjustments. Other revenues increased $16.2 million and $20.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, primarily due to origination fee income resulting from the growth in our originations business.

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits expense increased $89.7 million and $139.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due to our recent acquisitions and hiring to support the growth of our business. Headcount increased by approximately 3,600 full time employees from over 2,600 at June 30, 2012 to over 6,200 at June 30, 2013.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $91.8 million and $150.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due to, among other things, increases in legal and professional fees associated with financing and acquisitions and growth of our business, expenses associated the servicing of loans, loan origination fees due to the development of our originations business, and advertising expense due to the growth of our business. Transaction expenses related to the Incremental Amendments to our Term Loan, the acquisition of the ResCap net assets and the BOA asset purchase were $2.0 million and $12.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense on our corporate debt, including convertible notes, on the master repurchase agreements, on the mortgage-backed debt issued by the Residual Trusts, and on our servicing advance liabilities, all of which are accounted for at amortized cost. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, interest expense increased $23.8 million and $32.1 million as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the average balances on our corporate debt resulting from the refinancing of our first lien term loan with our $700.0 million Term Loan during the fourth quarter of 2012, our Incremental Loan of $825.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety during the first quarter of 2013, and our Second Incremental Loan of $200.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety during the second quarter of 2013. The increase in average balances of our corporate debt, including the issuance of convertible notes, was partially offset by decreases in average rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012 as a result of the corporate debt activity discussed above as well as the termination of our second lien term loan. All of these financing transactions resulted in a lower cost of debt. In addition, interest expense increased as a result of increased average balances of the master repurchase agreements and servicing advance liabilities due to our growing servicing and originations businesses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of amortization of intangible assets other than goodwill and depreciation and amortization recognized on premises and equipment, which includes amortization of capitalized software. Depreciation and amortization increased $5.8 million and $10.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, primarily as a result of business combinations in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. A summary of depreciation and amortization expense is provided below (in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses

We recognize a provision for loan losses for our residential loan portfolio accounted for at amortized cost. The provision for loan losses decreased by $1.9 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in severity rates coupled with a continued decline in the portfolio.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net consist primarily of real estate owned expenses, net, which includes lower of cost or fair value adjustments and holding costs, and claims expense. Other expenses, net decreased $1.1 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively. The respective decreases were due primarily to lower real estate owned expenses, net of $1.1 million and $3.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due to lower fair value adjustments and higher realized gains on real estate sales that have resulted from a trend of reduced loss severity during 2013 as compared to the prior year trend of increasing loss severities.

Net Fair Value Gains on Reverse Loans and Related HMBS Obligations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized net fair value gains of $26.7 million and $63.5 million, respectively, on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations, which are accounted for at fair value. These net gains resulted from the interest rate spread between the loans and related obligations, interest income on loans not securitized, gains on loans originated, gains on tail pools issued, and changes in market pricing for HECM loans and HMBS securities.

Other Net Fair Value Gains

We recognized other net fair value gains on assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value of $1.7 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which included net gains on the assets and liabilities of the Non-Residual Trusts of $2.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and losses associated with the increase in the estimated liability for the S1L contingent earn-out payment of $1.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The net gain on the assets and liabilities of the Non-Residual Trusts of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a favorable spread on contractual interest income net of contractual interest expense. The net gain on the assets and liabilities of the Non-Residual Trusts of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a favorable spread on contractual interest income net of contractual interest expense, higher than expected cash flows and lower London InterBank Offered Rates, or LIBOR, rates.

We recognized net fair value gains on assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value of $0.8 million and $5.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which included net gains on the assets and liabilities of the Non-Residual Trusts of $1.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and losses on derivatives associated with the 2011 Term Loans of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Lower discount rates resulting from changes in market rates impacted the net fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Non-Residual Trusts during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $95.0 million and $110.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due primarily to the increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased from 44.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 40.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased from 38.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of changes in corporate operations during 2013 driven by our recent business and asset acquisitions. We now have a substantial presence in new state jurisdictions that have higher state tax rates.

Residential loans at fair value also increased as a result of $1.9 billion in reverse mortgage loans originated and purchased during the first half of 2013. The reverse loans are offset by HMBS related obligations once securitized, as the obligations represent proceeds received from the transfer of HMBS securities accounted for as a secured borrowing.

Servicing rights, net increased $832.1 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of the ResCap net assets and the BOA asset purchase during the first quarter of 2013.

Debt increased $2.5 billion as a result of the Incremental Loan of $825.0 million and the Second incremental Loan of $200.0 million, which were borrowed in their entirety during the first six months of 2013, and a net increase of $1.5 billion associated with borrowings on our master repurchase agreements.

HMBS related obligations at fair value increased by $1.9 billion as a result of $2.0 billion in proceeds from the transfer of HMBS securities offset by payments on these obligations made during the first half of 2013.

Business Segment Results

We manage our Company in six reportable segments: Servicing, ARM, Insurance, Loans and Residuals, Reverse Mortgage and Originations. We measure the performance of our business segments through the following measures: income (loss) before income taxes, core earnings (loss) before income taxes and Adjusted EBITDA. Management considers core earnings (loss) before income taxes and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures, to be important in the evaluation of our business segments and of the Company as a whole, as well as for allocating capital resources to our segments. Core earnings (loss) before income taxes and Adjusted EBITDA are utilized to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use these measures when analyzing our operating performance.

Core earnings is a metric that is used by management to exclude certain items in an attempt to provide a better earnings per share metric to evaluate our Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period. Core earnings excludes certain depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets acquired with business combination transactions, or step-up depreciation and amortization, transaction and integration costs, share-based compensation expense, certain other non-cash adjustments, and the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trusts. Core earnings includes both cash and non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Core earnings excludes the impact of the adoption of fair value accounting and includes cash gains for reverse mortgage origination activities. Core earnings may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance metric used by management in evaluating the performance of our Company and its segments. Adjusted EBITDA is generally presented in accordance with its definition in our Company’s Term Loan, with certain exceptions, and represents income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense on corporate debt, transaction and integration costs, the net effect of the Non-Residual Trusts and certain other non-cash income and expense items. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the adoption of fair value accounting, and includes cash gains for reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating performance. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in this document differs from the definition in our Term Loan principally in that (i) the credit agreement includes a pro forma adjustment for the projected EBITDA of acquisitions that were made less than twelve months ago and (ii) the Term Loan does not include the non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities in Adjusted EBITDA.

In calculating income (loss) before income taxes, we allocate indirect expenses to our business segments and include these expenses in other expenses, net. Indirect expenses are allocated to our Insurance segment based on the ratio of the number of policies to the number of accounts serviced and to our ARM, Reverse Mortgage, Originations and certain non-reportable segments based on headcount. All remaining indirect expenses are allocated to our Servicing segment. We do not allocate indirect expenses to our Loans and Residuals segment.

We reconcile our income (loss) before income taxes for our business segments to our GAAP consolidated income (loss) before taxes and report the financial results of our Non-Residual Trusts, other non-reportable operating segments and certain corporate expenses and amounts to eliminate intercompany transactions between segments as other activity. For a reconciliation of our income (loss) before income taxes for our business segments to our GAAP consolidated income (loss) before income taxes, refer to Note 21 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Servicing segment recognized core earnings before income taxes of $129.4 million and $167.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $26.2 million and $57.3 million during the same periods of 2012, respectively. Provided below is a summary of the key components of earnings for this segment.

Net Servicing Revenue and Fees

Net servicing revenue and fees include contractual fees, incentive and performance fees and ancillary fees net of amortization of servicing rights carried at amortized cost and the changes in fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net servicing revenue and fees was $244.4 million and $369.6 million, respectively, as compared to $84.5 million and $171.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The increases of $160.0 million and $198.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, were primarily due to growth in the average servicing portfolio of 874,000 accounts or 91% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 649,000 accounts or 67% during the six months ended June 30, 2013, resulting primarily from the ResCap net assets acquisition and the BOA asset purchase.

Table of Contents

Insurance Revenue

Insurance revenue consists of commission income and fees earned on voluntary and lender-placed insurance policies and other products sold to customers, net of estimated future policy cancellations, as well as premium revenue from captive reinsurers. Commission income is based on a percentage of the price of the insurance policy sold, which varies based on the type of product. Insurance revenue increased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 due to a 43% increase in net written premiums partially offset by a decrease in certain commission rates that were effective on January 1, 2013. Insurance revenue decreased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, due primarily as a result of a decrease in commissions rates offset by a 17% increase in net written premiums.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization includes amortization relating to intangible assets associated with our Insurance business. Depreciation and amortization decreased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012 as a result of the decline in the related intangible asset which is amortized under the economic consumption method.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net consists primarily of salaries and benefits, technology and communications, occupancy, general and administrative, claims expense and allocated indirect expenses. Other expenses, net decreased $0.8 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively, due primarily to a decrease in allocated indirect expenses.

Loans and Residuals

Our Loans and Residuals segment consists of the residential loans, real estate owned and mortgage-backed debt of the Residual Trusts, as well as unencumbered residential loans and real estate owned. The entire portfolio of residential loans and real estate owned of the Loans and Residuals segment is comprised of forward-related mortgages. Through this business, we seek to earn a spread from the interest income we earn on the residential loans less the credit losses we incur on these loans and the interest expense we pay on the mortgage-backed debt issued to finance the loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses reflects the recognition of incurred credit losses on the residential loans held by the Residual Trusts and our unencumbered forward residential loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses decreased by $1.9 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, primarily due to a decrease in severity rates coupled with a continued decline of the portfolio.

Intercompany Expenses

Our Loans and Residuals segment is charged a fee from the Servicing segment for performing servicing activities for the residential loans and real estate owned of the Loans and Residuals segment. Intercompany expenses remained relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expenses, net consist primarily of real estate owned expenses, net, which includes lower of cost or fair value adjustments and holding costs, claims expense, and fair value adjustments on a mandatory repurchase obligation. Other expenses, net decreased $2.4 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods of 2012, respectively. The respective decreases were due primarily to lower real estate owned expenses, net of $1.5 million and $4.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 due to lower fair value adjustments and higher realized gains on real estate sales which have resulted from a trend of reduced loss severity during 2013 as compared to the prior year trend of increasing loss severities.

We recognized net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations of $26.7 million and $63.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which resulted from the interest rate spread between the loans and related obligations, interest income on loans not securitized, gains on loans originated, gains on tail pools issued, and changes in market pricing for HECM loans and HMBS securities.

Originations

Our Originations business segment originates and purchases forward loans that are sold to third parties with servicing rights generally retained. The Originations segment was previously included in the Other segment, but became a reportable operating segment because of growth in the business resulting from the acquisition of the ResCap net assets. Activity prior to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets primarily consisted of brokerage operations whereby the Originations segment received origination commissions. Provided below is a summary statement of operations for our Originations segment, which also includes core earnings before income taxes and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Other Revenues

Other revenues for the Originations segment consist primarily of origination fee income. Other revenues were $15.5 million and $17.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the same periods of 2012, respectively. The respective increases were due to the acquisition of the ResCap net assets during 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay debt and meet the financial obligations of our operations including funding acquisitions, servicing advances, origination of mortgage loans and other general business needs. We recognize the need to have liquid funds available to operate and grow our business and it is our policy to have adequate liquidity at all times. Our liquidity, measured as cash and cash equivalents plus borrowing capacity available under our Revolver, as described under the Corporate Debt section below, was $657.3 million at June 30, 2013.

Our principal sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our Servicing, Reverse Mortgage, Originations, ARM and Insurance businesses; funds obtained from our revolver, master repurchase agreements, servicing advance facilities, and issuance of HMBS and Fannie Mae securities; cash releases from the Residual Trusts; cash proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt; and other available financing activities.

We believe that, based on current forecasts and anticipated market conditions, our current liquidity of $657.3 million, along with the funds generated from our operating cash flows, loan portfolio, revolver, servicing advance facilities, master repurchase agreements, issuance of HMBS and Fannie Mae securities, access to capital markets, and other available sources of liquidity will allow for financial flexibility to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund operating needs and expenses, servicing advances, mortgage-backed originations, planned capital expenditures, current committed business and asset acquisitions, and all required debt service obligations for the next twelve months. We expect to generate adequate cash flows to fund our operations on both a short and long term basis principally from our servicing and origination operations and expect to fund future growth opportunities with capital obtained from external sources. Our operating cash flows and liquidity are significantly influenced by numerous factors, including changes in the mortgage servicing markets, interest rates, continued availability of financing including the renewal of existing servicing advance facilities and master repurchase agreements, access to equity markets, and conditions in the debt markets. We may access the capital markets from time to time to augment our liquidity position as our business dictates. We continually monitor our cash flows and liquidity in order to be responsive to these changing conditions.

We used a portion of the net proceeds from our public offering of common stock and the refinancing and expansion of our first lien credit facility of $276.1 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, to fund current acquisitions including the ResCap net assets for cash paid of $492.0 million and the BOA asset purchase for cash paid of $481.6 million excluding servicer advances. The BOA asset purchase and the ResCap net assets include MSRs and related servicer advances that were partially funded through existing advance financing facilities. We anticipate that future acquisitions of MSRs could be financed with debt and/or obtaining capital provided by a financing partner, similar to the other MSR structures in the market today.

Servicing Business

Our servicing agreements impose on us various rights and obligations that affect our liquidity. Among the most significant of these obligations is the requirement that we advance our own funds to meet contractual payment requirements for certain investors and to pay taxes, insurance and foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. In the normal course of business, we borrow money to fund certain of these servicing advances. We rely upon various counterparties to provide us with financing to fund a portion of our servicing advances on a short-term basis or provide for reimbursement within an agreed-upon period. Our ability to fund servicing advances is a significant factor that affects our liquidity and we depend upon our ability to secure these types of arrangements on acceptable terms and to renew or replace existing financing facilities as they expire. The servicing advance financing agreements that support our servicing operations are discussed below.

Servicer Advance Reimbursement Agreement

In August 2013, we renewed our Servicer Advance Reimbursement Agreement, which provides for the reimbursement of up to $950.0 million of certain principal and interest and protective advances that are our responsibility under certain servicing agreements. The amendment adjusted certain early reimbursement rate calculations. The cost of this agreement is LIBOR plus 2.50% or 3.50% on amounts being reimbursed. The early reimbursement period expires on December 31, 2013 or upon 120 days after written notice. Collections of advances that have been reimbursed under the agreement require remittance upon collection to settle the outstanding balance under the agreement. We had $672.1 million outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 2013.

Our Servicer Advance Reimbursement Agreement contains customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2013.

Receivables Loan Agreement

In May 2012, we renewed our three-year Receivables Loan Agreement that provides borrowings up to $75.0 million and is collateralized by certain principal and interest, taxes and insurance and other corporate advances reimbursable from securitization trusts serviced by us. The principal payments on the note are paid from the recoveries or repayment of underlying advances. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments is dependent on the recoveries or repayment of underlying advances that collateralize the note. The interest cost under the renewed agreement, which matures in July 2015, is LIBOR plus 3.25%. We had $65.5 million outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 2013.

Our Receivables Loan Agreement contains customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2013.

Forward Mortgage Originations Business

Historically our forward mortgage originations business has been insignificant to our overall operations; however, we have grown this business with the acquisition of the ResCap loan originations platform and anticipate significant future growth. We utilize master repurchase agreements to support our originations or purchase of forward mortgage loans. The facilities had an aggregate capacity of $2.0 billion at June 30, 2013. The interest rates on the facilities are primarily based on LIBOR plus between 2.25% and 3.00% and have various expiration dates through May 2014. These facilities are secured by the underlying originated or purchased mortgage loans and provide creditors a collateralized interest in mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the terms of the particular facility. The source of repayment of these facilities is typically from the sale or securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage market. We evaluate our needs under these facilities based on forecasted mortgage loan origination production volume, however, there can be no assurance that these origination funding facilities will be available to us in the future. The aggregate capacity includes $800.0 million of uncommitted funds. To the extent uncommitted funds are requested to purchase or originate mortgage loans, the counterparties have no obligation to fulfill such request. We had $1.6 billion of borrowings under these master repurchase agreements at June 30, 2013, which included $511.6 million of borrowings utilizing uncommitted funds.

All of our master repurchase agreements contain customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. Financial covenants that are most sensitive to the operating results and resulting financial position are minimum tangible net worth requirements, indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio requirements, and minimum liquidity and profitability requirements. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2013.

Reverse Mortgage Origination Business

In connection with our reverse mortgage business, we finance the capital required to originate or purchase HECM reverse mortgage loans through master repurchase agreements. These agreements were entered into in conjunction with our acquisitions of RMS and S1L in the fourth quarter of 2012. The facilities have an aggregate capacity amount of $395.0 million. The interest rates on the facilities are primarily based on LIBOR plus between 2.75% and 3.50%, in some cases are subject to a LIBOR floor or other minimum rates and have various expiration dates through May 2014. These facilities are secured by the underlying originated or purchased mortgage loans and provide creditors a collateralized interest in mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the terms of the particular facility. The source of repayment of these facilities is typically from the sale or securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage market. We evaluate our needs under these facilities based on forecasted mortgage loan origination production volume; however, there can be no assurance that these origination funding facilities will be available to us in the future. The aggregate capacity has been provided on an uncommitted basis, and as such to the extent these funds are requested to purchase or originate mortgage loans, the counterparties have no obligation to fulfill such request. We had $175.2 million of borrowings under these master repurchase agreements at June 30, 2013, all of which represented borrowings utilizing uncommitted funds.

All of our master repurchase agreements contain customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. Financial covenants that are most sensitive to the operating results and resulting financial position are minimum tangible net worth requirements, indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio requirements, and minimum liquidity and profitability requirements. At June 30, 2013, RMS would not have been in compliance with a financial covenant contained in its master repurchase agreements due to RMS’ recognition of a net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2013. As a result, RMS obtained waivers from each respective counterparty by either waiving the requirement to comply with the financial covenant or decreasing the profitability requirement to allow for a net loss.

Additionally, the Company, as the servicer of reverse mortgage loans, is obligated to fund additional borrowing capacity in the form of undrawn lines of credit on floating and fixed rate reverse mortgage loans. We rely upon our operating cash flows to fund these additional borrowings on a short-term basis prior to securitization. The additional borrowings are generally securitized within 4 to 15 days after funding. The obligation to fund these additional borrowings could have a significant impact on our liquidity.

We permanently fund HECM reverse mortgage loans through the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, issuance process. The proceeds from the transfer of the HMBS securities are accounted for as a secured borrowing under the fair value option and classified on the consolidated balance sheet as a HMBS related obligation. At June 30, 2013, we had $6.9 billion outstanding on the HMBS related obligations. At June 30, 2013, $6.9 billion of HECM reverse mortgage loans and real estate owned were pledged as collateral to the mortgage-backed debt of the GNMA securitization pools and are not available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the Company. In addition, the holders of the HMBS beneficial interests have recourse to the extent of their participation in the HMBS loans but not to the general net assets of the Company.

Borrower remittances received on the HECM reverse mortgage loans, if any, and proceeds received from the sale of real estate owned collateralizing the related mortgage-backed debt and our funds used to repurchase HECM reverse mortgage loans are used to reduce the HMBS related obligations by making payments to the securitization pools which will then remit the payments to the beneficial interest holders of the HMBS securities. The maturity of the HMBS related obligations is directly affected by the rate of payments on the collateral and events of default as stipulated in the HECM reverse mortgage loan agreements with borrowers. As an HMBS issuer, the Company assumes certain obligations related to each security it issues. The most significant obligation is the requirement to purchase loans out of the GNMA securitization pools once they reach certain limits. Performing repurchased loans are conveyed to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated in accordance with program requirements.

RMS is required to maintain regulatory compliance with HUD, GNMA and Fannie Mae program requirements, some of which are financial covenants related to minimum levels of net worth and other financial ratios. Due to the accounting treatment for reverse mortgage loan securitizations and the related issuance of HMBS obligations, RMS has obtained an indefinite waiver for certain of these requirements from GNMA and through January 2014 from Fannie Mae. In addition, we have provided a guarantee beginning on the date of acquisition, November 1, 2012, whereby we guarantee RMS’ performance and obligations under the GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities Program. In the event that we fail to honor this guaranty, GNMA could terminate RMS’s status as a qualified issuer of mortgage-backed securities as well as take other actions permitted by law that could impact the operations of RMS, including the termination or suspension of RMS’s servicing rights associated with reverse mortgage loans backed by GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. GNMA has affirmed RMS’s current commitment authority to issue HMBS securities. In addition we have provided a guarantee dated May 31, 2013 whereby we guarantee RMS’ performance obligations with Fannie Mae. In the event that we fail to honor this guarantee, Fannie Mae could disallow the sale and servicing of its loans and participation interests by RMS.

Corporate Debt

Term Loans and Revolver

In November 2012, we refinanced our $500 million term loan with a $700 million secured term loan, or Term Loan, and refinanced our 2011 Revolver with a $125 million secured revolving credit facility, or Revolver. In January 2013, we entered into the Incremental Amendment to the Term Loan. The Incremental Amendment, among other things, increases certain financial ratios that govern our ability to incur additional indebtedness and provides for a secured term loan, or the Incremental Loan, in an amount of $825.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on January 31, 2013.

In March 2013, we entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment to the Term Loan. The Credit Agreement Amendment changes certain financial definitions in the Term Loan to clarify that net cash receipts in connection with the issuance of reverse mortgage securities and the servicing of reverse mortgages count towards Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and excess cash flow for purposes of the Term Loan. See below for further discussion of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.

In June 2013, we entered into the Second Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan. The Second Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Second Incremental Loan, in the amount of $200.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on June 6, 2013. All material terms of the loans under the Second Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

In July 2013, we entered into the Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan. The Amendment to Second Incremental Amendment adds a prepayment premium in connection with re-pricings and increases the required amortization payments for the $200.0 million incremental term loan made to the Company in June 2013 pursuant to the Second Incremental Amendment, so that the terms of such incremental term loans are identical to the terms of the other term loans outstanding under the existing Term Loan.

In July 2013, we entered into the Third Incremental Agreement to our Term Loan. The Third Incremental Amendment, among other things, provides for a secured term loan, or the Third Incremental Loan, in the amount of $50.0 million, which was borrowed in its entirety on July 23, 2013. All material terms of the loans under the Third Incremental Loan are consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan.

Our obligations under the Term Loan and Revolver are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets and substantially all assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions the most significant of which are the assets of the consolidated Residual and Non-Residual Trusts, the residential loans of the GNMA securitization pools, and assets securing our master repurchase agreements and servicer advance financing facilities.

The terms of our Term Loan and Revolver are summarized in the table below:

 

Debt Agreement

 

Interest Rate

 

Amortization

 

Maturity/Expiration

$1.725 billion term loan

 

LIBOR plus 4.50%, LIBOR

floor of 1.25%

  5.00% per annum beginning 4th quarter of 2012; remainder at final maturity   November 28, 2017

$125 million revolver

  LIBOR plus 4.50%   Bullet payment at maturity   November 28, 2017

In addition to the required amortization payments noted in the table above, the Term Loan requires us to prepay outstanding principal with 50% of excess cash flows as defined by the credit agreement when our Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.5, 25% of excess cash flows when our Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.5 but greater than 2.0, and does not require a prepayment when our Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.0. These excess cash flow payments, if required, will be made during the first quarter of each fiscal year beginning in 2014. Additional mandatory payments are required from all net proceeds associated with certain new indebtedness and net proceeds relating to certain sales of assets or recovery events, all subject to certain exceptions.

The capacity under the Revolver allows requests for the issuance of letters of credit, or LOCs, of up to $25 million or total cash borrowings of up to $125 million less any amounts outstanding in issued LOCs. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings or repayments under the Revolver. At June 30, 2013, we had outstanding $0.3 million in an issued LOC with remaining availability under the Revolver of $124.7 million. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver is 0.50% per year. At June 30, 2013, we had interest rate caps and a swaption with notional amounts of $341.0 million and $175.0 million, respectively. We use the interest rate caps and swaption as a hedge to the cash flow risk related to the variability in interest rate payments.

The Term Loan and Revolver contain customary events of default and covenants, including among other things, financial covenants, covenants that restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, pay dividends and repurchase stock, engage in mergers or consolidations, and make investments. Financial covenants that must be maintained include an Interest Coverage Ratio and a Total Leverage Ratio as defined in the credit agreement. Non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan and Revolver and the termination of all commitments under the Revolver. These ratios are based on EBITDA, adjusted to conform to requirements of the credit agreement, or Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, unlike Adjusted EBITDA which is defined by management, is defined for purposes of the Term Loan and Revolver covenants as net income (loss) plus interest, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for certain specified items as defined in the credit agreement, including pro forma adjustments as specified by the agreement.

Table of Contents

The Interest Expense Coverage Ratio is calculated by dividing Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing four-quarter basis preceding the measurement date. The Total Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated total indebtedness as of the measurement date by Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as measured on a trailing four-quarter basis preceding the measurement date and including those items measured on a pro-forma basis. Beginning on March 31, 2013, the Term Loan and Revolver require a minimum Interest Expense Coverage Ratio of 2.25:1.00 increasing to 2.50:1.00 by the end of 2015, and allows for a maximum Total Leverage Ratio of 5.00:1.00 being reduced over time to 4.00:1.00 by the end of 2015.

Residual and Non-Residual Trusts

The cash proceeds from the repayment of the collateral held in the Residual and Non-Residual Trusts are owned by the trusts and serve to only repay the obligations of the trusts unless, for the Residual Trusts, certain overcollateralization or other similar targets are satisfied, in which case, the excess cash is released to us assuming no trigger event has occurred.

The Residual Trusts, with the exception of WIMC Capital Trust 2011-1, or Trust 2011-1, contain delinquency and loss triggers, that, if exceeded, allocate any excess cash flows to paying down the outstanding mortgage-backed notes for that particular trust at an accelerated pace. Assuming no servicer trigger events have occurred and the overcollateralization targets have been met, any excess cash from these trusts is released to us. For Trust 2011-1, principal and interest payments are not paid on the subordinate note or residual interests, which are held by us, until all amounts due on the senior notes are fully paid.

Since January 2008, Mid-State Capital Corporation 2006-1 Trust has exceeded its delinquency and cumulative loss rate triggers and has not provided any excess cash flow to us. In addition, from September 2012 to February 2013, Mid-State Capital Corporation 2005-1 Trust exceeded its delinquency rate trigger. At March 2013, the delinquency rate for Trust 2005-1 was cured and remains cured at June 30, 2013 allowing residential cash flows to now flow to us. Provided below is a table summarizing the actual delinquency and cumulative loss rates in comparison to the trigger rates for our Residual Trusts:

Contractual Obligations

Except as described below, there were no other significant changes to our outstanding contractual obligations, as of June 30, 2013, from amounts previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013.

In January 2013 we borrowed $825.0 million on our Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan. The net proceeds from our Incremental Loan were used to partially fund the ResCap net assets acquisition and the BOA asset purchase.

In June 2013 we borrowed $200.0 million on our Second Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan, which in conjunction with the Incremental Loan, increased our future cash obligation related to our Term Loan to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2013. The net proceeds from our Second Incremental Loan were used to increase liquidity, fund working capital requirements related to our mortgage origination business and for other general corporate purposes.

In July 2013, we borrowed $50.0 million on our Third Incremental Amendment to our Term Loan. The net proceeds from our Third Incremental Loan were used to increase liquidity, fund working capital requirements related to our mortgage origination business and for other general corporate purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we entered into additional master repurchase agreements with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $2.1 billion to support further growth of our originations operations. At June 30, 2013, we had $2.4 billion in total borrowing capacity under these master repurchase agreements and $1.7 billion in borrowings outstanding. As part of our originations activities, we have unfunded commitments of $6.5 billion at June 30, 2013. Refer to Note 22 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding unfunded commitments.

We are required to pay 5% of the debt balance of our Term Loan and incremental loans on an annual basis in equal quarterly installment and the remainder at the maturity date of November 28, 2017.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $49.9 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of 2012. The primary sources of cash from operating activities were the income generated from our servicing operations, our insurance business and the net interest spread from our forward residential loan portfolio carried at amortized cost and in 2013, our originations activities. The net cash used in operating activities in 2013 was primarily due to the ramp up of our originations activities which resulted in $5.3 billion used in purchases and originations of residential loans, partially offset by $3.8 billion in proceeds from sales of and payments on residential loans.

Investing Activities

Our cash flows from investing activities primarily include payments received on our residential loans held for investment, cash proceeds from the sale of real estate owned offset by cash paid to acquire businesses, net of cash acquired, and purchases and originations of residential loans held for investment. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $104.2 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the same period of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the primary uses of cash were $1.9 billion for purchases and originations of reverse residential loans held for investment, $478.1 million in payments for the acquisitions of the ResCap net assets and the Ally Bank net assets, and $537.3 million in acquisitions of servicing rights including the BOA asset purchase. During the same period, the primary sources of cash provided by investing activities were the principal payments received on our reverse and forward loans held for investment of $225.7 million.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the primary sources of cash provided by investing activities were the principal payments received from borrowers on our residential loans held for investment of $81.5 million, a decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $11.5 million, payments received on receivables related to Non-Residual trusts of $8.6 million, and net cash proceeds from the sales of real estate owned of $8.5 million.

Financing Activities

Our cash flows from financing activities include proceeds from the issuance of and payments on corporate debt, HMBS related obligations, master repurchase agreements, servicing advance facilities and mortgage-backed debt. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $135.9 million in net cash used in financing activities for the same period of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the primary sources of cash were $1.0 billion in issuance of corporate debt, net of debt issuance costs, $2.0 billion in proceeds from securitizations of reverse loans, $637.5 million in issuances of servicing advance liabilities, net of related payments, and $1.5 billion in net borrowings of master repurchase agreements. During the same period, the primary uses of cash for financing activities were $155.3 million in payments on HMBS related obligations, $100.0 million in payments on mortgage-backed debt and $39.1 million in payments on corporate debt.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the primary uses of cash were $43.1 million in payments on corporate debt and $96.4 million in payments on mortgage-backed debt.

Credit Risk Management

Residential Loan Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk associated with the residual interests that we own in the consolidated Residual Trusts as well as with the unencumbered forward loans held in our portfolio, both of which are recognized as residential loans at amortized cost, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Credit risk is the risk that we will not fully collect the principal we have invested due to borrower defaults. We manage the credit risk associated with our residential loan portfolio through sound loan underwriting, monitoring of existing loans, early identification of problem loans, timely resolution of problems, establishment of an appropriate allowance for loan losses and sound nonaccrual and charge-off policies.

We do not currently own residual interests in the Non-Residual Trusts and we consider our credit risk with regard to these trusts to be insignificant. However, we have assumed mandatory call obligations related to the Non-Residual Trusts and will be subject to a certain amount of credit risk associated with the purchased residential loans when the calls are exercised. We expect to call these securitizations beginning in 2017 and continuing through 2019. The total outstanding balance of the residential loans expected to be called at the respective call dates is $418.3 million.

We are subject to credit risk associated with forward and reverse mortgage loans that we purchase and originate during the period of time prior to the transfer of these loans. We consider our credit risk associated with these loans to be insignificant.

We also assume credit risk as issuer of GNMA HMBS securities. Our credit risk relates to our obligation to repurchase reverse mortgage loans out of GNMA securitization pools once they reach certain limits as established by the FHA. Performing repurchased loans are conveyed to HUD and nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated in accordance with program requirements. Although these loans are covered by FHA insurance, we may incur expenses and losses in the process of repurchasing and liquidating these loans that are not reimbursable by FHA in accordance with program guidelines. However, we consider these amounts to be insignificant. As a result of minimal severity, credit risk associated with Non-Residual Trusts, forward and reverse mortgage loans prior to transfer, and repurchased reverse mortgage loans are not discussed further in this section.

At June 30, 2013, the principal balance of our residential loan portfolio that exposes us to credit risk was $1.6 billion. These residential loans, which are accounted for at amortized cost, consist of forward loans held by the consolidated Residual Trusts and unencumbered forward loans. The principal balance of residential loans and the carrying value of other collateral of the Residual Trusts total $1.7 billion and is permanently financed with $1.3 billion of mortgage-backed debt leaving us with a net credit exposure of $406.1 million, which approximates our residual interests in the consolidated Residual Trusts.

The residential loans that expose us to credit risk are predominantly credit-challenged, non-conforming loans with an average loan-to-value, or LTV, ratio at origination of approximately 90.6% and an average refreshed borrower credit score, or FICO score, of 596. While we feel that our underwriting and due diligence with regard to these loans will help to mitigate the risk of significant borrower default on these loans, we cannot assure you that all borrowers will continue to satisfy their payment obligations under these loans, thereby avoiding default.

(2) Loans are placed in non-accrual status due to contractual principal and interest payments being past due 90 days or more.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have interests in VIEs that we do not consolidate as we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. In addition, we have interests in forward and reverse loans that have been transferred as a sale or accounted for as a secured borrowing. Refer to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other than the arrangements described in the footnotes referenced above, we do not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose or VIEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships other than those described above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. Historically, these policies relate to: the allowance for loan losses on residential loans carried at amortized cost, fair value measurements, goodwill, servicing rights and real estate owned. These critical accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements are described in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates and the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them other than as described below.

Fair Value Measurements

We have an established and documented process for determining fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value and details on the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Basis or Measurement

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

As of June 30, 2013 a majority of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis were valued using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs, and comprised 56% and 54% of total assets and total liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

We determine fair value based upon quoted broker prices, when available, or through the use of alternative approaches, such as the discounting of expected cash flows at market rates commensurate with an instrument’s credit quality and duration. Level 3 unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates for assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques typically include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, but may also include the use of market prices of assets or liabilities that are not directly comparable to the subject asset or liability.

We elected to measure all reverse mortgage assets and liabilities and residential loans held for sale as well as servicing rights related to a risk-managed loan class at fair value. For all other assets and liabilities, the Company does not have a fair value election policy, but rather makes the election on an instrument-by-instrument basis as they are acquired or incurred. The Company elected to measure at fair value residential loans, receivables and mortgage-backed debt associated with the Non-Residual Trusts. The fair value option was elected for these assets and liabilities as we believe fair value best reflects the expected future economic performance of these assets and liabilities. We also record at fair value interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments associated with residential loans held for sale. Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information

Considerable judgment is used in forming conclusions in estimating inputs to our internal valuation models used to estimate our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as, but not limited to, conditional prepayment rate, conditional default rate, loss severity, average life assumptions and loan funding probability are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements. Accordingly, our estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

Servicing Rights

Servicing rights are an intangible asset representing the right to service a portfolio of loans. Capitalized servicing rights relate to servicing and sub-servicing contracts acquired in connection with business combinations. Additionally, we have acquired the rights to service loans through the purchase of such rights from third parties or through the transfer of purchased or originated loans with servicing rights retained. All newly acquired or originated servicing rights are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to acquisition or origination, we account for servicing rights using the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, based on our strategy for managing the risks of the underlying portfolios. Risks inherent in servicing rights include prepayment and interest rate risk. Refer to information surrounding the change in accounting for recently purchased servicing rights and our servicing rights fair value election on January 1, 2013 at Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

88


Table of Contents

We identify classes of servicing rights based upon the availability of market inputs used in determining their fair values and our planned risk management strategy associated with the servicing rights. Based upon these criteria, we have identified three classes of servicing rights: a risk-managed forward loan class, or the risk-managed loan class, a forward loan class and a reverse loan class. Servicing assets associated with the forward loan class and the reverse loan class are amortized based on expected cash flows in proportion to and over the life of net servicing income. Amortization is recorded in net servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Forward and reverse loan classes are stratified by product type and compared to the estimated fair value on a quarterly basis. To the extent that the carrying value for a stratum exceeds its estimated fair value, a valuation allowance is established with an impairment loss recognized in other expenses, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. If the fair value of the impaired servicing asset increases, then we adjust the carrying value of the servicing asset as a reduction in the valuation allowance. We recognize a direct impairment to the servicing asset when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is determined to be unrecoverable.

For servicing assets associated with the risk-managed loan class, or those that are accounted for at fair value, we measure the fair value at each reporting date and record changes in fair value in net servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

We estimate the fair value of our servicing rights by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows utilizing assumptions that we believe a market participant would consider in valuing our servicing rights. The significant components of the estimated future cash inflows for servicing rights include estimates and assumptions related to the prepayments of principal, defaults, ancillary fees, discount rates that we believe approximate yields required by investors for these assets, and the expected cost of servicing.

Changes in these assumptions are generally expected to affect our results of operations as follows:

 

   

Increases in prepayments of principal generally reduce the value of our servicing rights as the underlying loans prepay faster which causes accelerated servicing right amortization or declines in the fair value of servicing rights,

 

   

Increases in defaults generally reduce the value of our servicing rights as the cost of servicing increases during the delinquency period due primarily to increases in servicing advances and related interest expense, which is partially offset by increases in ancillary fees,

 

   

Increases in discount rate reduce the value of our servicing rights due to the lower overall net present value of the cash flows.

Curtailment Liability

We are required to service our portfolio of loans on behalf of third parties in accordance with certain regulations established by HUD and GSEs. In certain instances in which servicing requirements are not followed or certain timelines are missed, referred to as servicing errors, we are potentially exposed to a curtailment of interest which results in an obligation to the investor in the loans or to HUD depending on facts and circumstances surrounding the servicing error. We account for our obligation for servicing errors as loss contingencies, and accruals for expected losses are recorded when the losses are deemed both probable and able to be reasonably estimated. We believe we have adequately accrued for these potential liabilities, however, facts and circumstances may change that could cause the actual liabilities to exceed the estimates, or that may require adjustments to the recorded liability balances in the future. Refer to Note  22 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to servicing errors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013. Except as noted below, our market risks have not changed materially since December 31, 2012.

Interest Rate Risk

Loans Held for Sale and Interest Rate Lock Commitments

Interest rate lock commitments, or IRLCs, represent an agreement to purchase loans from a third-party originator or an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant, whereby the interest rate of the loan is set prior to funding. Our residential loans held for sale, which are held for a short period of time while awaiting sale into the secondary market, and our IRLCs are subject to the effects of changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitment through the sale of the loan into the secondary market. We are exposed to interest rate risk from the date of the lock commitment through either the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date, or through the date of sale into the secondary mortgage market. Loan commitments generally range from 5 to 30 days, and our holding period of the mortgage loan from funding to sale is typically less than 20 days.

An integral component of our interest rate risk management strategy is our use of derivative instruments to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in interest rates that affect the value of our IRLCs and residential loans held for sale. The derivatives utilized to hedge the interest rate risk are forward sales commitments, which are forward sales of agency “to be announced” securities, or TBAs. These TBAs are primarily used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized upon the sale of the mortgage loans into the secondary market.

Table of Contents

Prepayment Risk

Fair Value MSRs

Our MSRs that we have elected to carry at fair value subject to prepayment risk as the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans. Consequently, the value of these MSRs generally tend to diminish in periods of declining interest rates (as prepayments increase) and tend to increase in periods of rising interest rates (as prepayments decrease). Although the level of interest rates is a key driver of prepayment activity, there are other factors that influence prepayments, including home prices, underwriting standards and product characteristics.

Consumer Credit Risk

We sell our loans on a nonrecourse basis. We also provide representations and warranties to purchasers and insurers of the loans sold that typically are in place for the life of the loan. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, we may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by us. If there is no breach of a representation and warranty provision, we have no obligation to repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor against loss. The current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by us represents the maximum potential exposure related to representation and warranty provisions.

We maintain a reserve for losses on loans repurchased or indemnified as a result of breaches of representations and warranties on our sold loans. Our estimate is based on our most recent data regarding loan repurchases and indemnity payments, actual credit losses on repurchased loans, recovery history, among other factors. Our assumptions are affected by factors both internal and external in nature. Internal factors include, among other things, level of loan sales, as well as to whom the loans are sold, the expectation of credit loss on repurchases and indemnifications, our success rate at appealing repurchase demands and our ability to recover any losses from third parties. External factors that may affect our estimate include, among other things, the overall economic condition in the housing market, the economic condition of borrowers, the political environment at investor agencies and the overall U.S. and world economy. Many of the factors are beyond our control and may lead to judgments that are susceptible to change.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk from the inability of counterparties to our forward loan purchase and sale agreements to meet the terms of those agreements. We minimize this risk through monitoring procedures and collateral requirements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materia1ly affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We acquired RMS on November 1, 2012, S1L on December 31, 2012, the ResCap net assets on January 31, 2013, the Ally Bank net assets on March 1, 2013 and the MetLife Bank net assets on March 1, 2013. We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined companies. Management will continue to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting, and any changes thereto that may result from these acquisitions, as we execute our integration activities. As part of these activities we have continued to consistently utilize external accounting advisors for significant and unusual transactions and recruited and hired several additional qualified accounting staff.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013.

On July 24, 2013, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company, Mark O’Brien, Charles Cauthen, Denmar Dixon, Marc Helm and Robert Yeary captioned Cummings, et al. v. Walter Investment Management Corp., et al., 8:13-cv-01916-JDW-TBM. The complaint asserts federal securities law claims against the Company and the individual defendants under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; additional claims are asserted against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that between May 9, 2012 and June 6, 2013 the Company and the individual defendants made material misstatements or omissions about the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting, including the reporting of expenses associated with certain financing transactions, and the liabilities associated with the Company’s acquisition of RMS. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of all individuals or entities which purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities from May 9, 2012 through June 6, 2013. The foregoing should not be relied upon as a definitive statement of the claims set forth in the Complaint and readers are advised to reference the actual Complaint filed in the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed on March 18, 2013.

If our estimated liability with respect to interest curtailment obligations arising out of servicing errors by RMS is inaccurate, or additional errors are found, and we are required to record additional material amounts, there may be an adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of RMS, we discovered a failure to record certain estimated liabilities to investors relating to servicing errors by RMS. FHA regulations provide that servicers meet a series of event-specific timeframes during the default, foreclosure, conveyance, and mortgage insurance claim cycles. Failure to timely meet any processing deadline may stop the accrual of debenture interest otherwise payable in satisfaction of a claim under the FHA mortgage insurance contract and the servicer may be responsible for making the investor whole for any interest curtailment due to not meeting the required event-specific timeframes. On June 6, 2013, we announced that we will be filing restatements of certain previously filed historical financial information of RMS as a result of these matters. We are completing our review of these matters. Although we have not determined the full effect of these matters and are completing our review thereof, we have established a curtailment obligation liability of $44.8 million at June 30, 2013 related to the foregoing that reflects management’s best estimate of the probable lifetime claim. The level of liability is difficult to estimate and requires significant management judgment as curtailment obligations are an emerging industry issue. Because of the uncertainty in the ultimate resolution of these matters as well as uncertainty in regards to the estimate underlying the curtailment obligation liability, there are potential financial statement exposures in excess of the recorded liability that are considered reasonably possible. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not discover additional errors, that future financial reports will not contain material misstatements or omissions, or that future restatements will not be required. Likewise, these matters might continue to cause a diversion of our management’s time and attention. To the extent we are required to record additional amounts as liabilities, there may be an adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

The circumstances which gave rise to the review of interest curtailment obligations and our announced restatement relating thereto continue to create the risk of litigation against us, which could be expensive and could damage our business.

As described in more detail above under Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”, the Company and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit. In addition, there is risk that other actions could be filed against us and certain current or former officers and directors based on allegations relating to the failure to record certain estimated liabilities relating to interest curtailment obligations at RMS and the associated restatement adjustments. We may incur substantial defense costs with respect to existing and potential future claims, regardless of their outcome.

No assurance can be given regarding the outcomes of any litigation. The resolution of any such matters may be time consuming, expensive, and may distract management from the conduct of our business. Furthermore, if we are subject to adverse findings in litigation, we could be required to pay damages or penalties or have other remedies imposed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The staff of the SEC may review our periodic reports and may request amendments of financial information or other disclosures.

Following its review of periodic reports (including, but not limited to, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) filed with the SEC, the staff of the SEC may request that we make additional changes to our reporting of financial information contained in such periodic reports, potentially requiring amendments to our financial information or other disclosure. Any amendments to our consolidated financial information, among other things:

 

   

would distract management’s attention from our business and operations;

 

   

may cause us to not be current in our periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws;

 

   

would result in incurring substantial additional professional expenses;

 

   

may adversely affect our reputation, credibility with customers and investors and our ability to raise capital in the capital markets; and

 

   

may subject us to the risk of regulatory actions and additional litigation.
