SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

 

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

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward‑looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2019.

 

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

changes to government mortgage modification programs;

 

·

certain banking regulations that may limit our business activities;

 

·

foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices;

 

·

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

 

·

our ability to manage third-party service providers and vendors and their compliance with laws, regulations and investor requirements;

 

·

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

 

·

difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

3

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

changes in prevailing interest rates;

 

·

increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

our exposure to counterparties that are unwilling or unable to honor contractual obligations, including their obligation to indemnify us or repurchase defective mortgage loans;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

conflicts of interest in allocating our services and investment opportunities among ourselves and PMT;

 

·

the effect of public opinion on our reputation;

 

·

our recent growth;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

our ability to detect misconduct and fraud;

 

·

our ability to effectively deploy new information technology applications and infrastructure;

 

·

our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents;

 

·

our exposure to risks of loss resulting from adverse weather conditions and man-made or natural disasters; and

 

·

our organizational structure and certain requirements in our charter documents.

 

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

 

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

PENNYMAC FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI” or the “Company”) is a holding corporation and its primary assets are direct and indirect equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). The Company is the managing member of PennyMac, and it operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of PennyMac, subject to the consent rights of other members under certain circumstances, and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its subsidiaries.

 

PennyMac is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries, engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PennyMac’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential mortgage and home equity loan production and loan servicing. PennyMac’s investment management activities and a portion of its loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of an investment vehicle that invests in residential mortgage and home equity loans and related assets. PennyMac’s primary wholly owned subsidiaries are:

 

·

PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”)—a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM enters into investment management agreements with entities that invest in residential mortgage loans and related assets.

 

Presently, PCM has a management agreement with PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a publicly held real estate investment trust. Previously, PCM had management agreements with PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P. an affiliate of these registered funds, and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC (collectively, the “Investment Funds”). The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

 

·

PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”)  a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage and home equity loans on behalf of non-affiliates and PMT, purchases, originates and sells new prime credit quality residential mortgage and home equity loans and engages in other mortgage banking activities for its own account and the account of PMT.

 

PLS is approved as a seller/servicer of mortgage loans by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and as an issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). PLS is a licensed Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and a lender/servicer with the Veterans Administration (“VA”) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) (each an “Agency” and collectively the “Agencies”).

 

On November 1, 2018, the Company completed a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) by which it changed its equity structure to create a single class of common stock held by all stockholders at a new top-level publicly traded parent holding corporation, as opposed to the two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, that were in place before the Reorganization. The predecessor holding company became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company and is considered the predecessor of the Company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the predecessor holding company's historical consolidated financial statements remain the Company’s historical financial statements. As part of the Reorganization, the Company retained its officers and directors in their previously existing roles and assumed the predecessor holding company's stock-based compensation plan. The details of the Reorganization are more fully described in Note 1 – Organization to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

10

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of income to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2019. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

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

 

Accounting Change

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASU 2016-02”), using the modified retrospective approach. As the result of this adoption, the Company recorded a $58.6 million right-of-use asset, a corresponding lease liability and reclassified $20.7 million of deferred rent from accrued liabilities to the lease liability for a total lease liability of $79.3 million. The Company did not adjust the prior comparative period. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity or cash flows.

As part of its adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company made the following accounting policy elections:

·

to retain its current classification of existing leases; and

·

to exclude from its consolidated balance sheet leases with initial terms that are less than or equal to 12 months.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make the payments required by the leases.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, PFSI uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payment obligations. The operating lease right-of-use assets also reflects any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements that include both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which are generally included in the lease and are accounted for together with the lease as a single lease component. Detailed lease disclosures are included in Note 10‒Leases.

 

 

Note 3—Concentration of Risk

 

A substantial portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of loan servicing fees, gains on loans held for sale, loan origination fees, fulfillment fees, change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing (“ESS”), net interest, management fees, and change in fair value of investment and dividend received from PMT) totaled 31% and 18% of total net revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 31% and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 4—Transactions with Affiliates

 

Transactions with PMT

 

Operating Activities

 

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and MSR Recapture

 

The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. Historically, the Company has used the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT prime jumbo residential mortgage loans. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company began selling conventional conforming balance mortgage loans to PMT under the agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016, if the Company refinances mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to 30% of the fair market value of the MSRs related to all such mortgage loans. The MSR recapture agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

Pursuant to a mortgage banking services agreement, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016, the Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a fulfillment fee. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage banking services agreement, the monthly fulfillment fee is an amount that shall equal (a) no greater than the product of (i) 0.35% and (ii) the aggregate initial unpaid principal balance (the “Initial UPB”) of all mortgage loans purchased in such month, plus (b) in the case of all mortgage loans other than mortgage loans sold to or securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, no greater than the product of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the aggregate Initial UPB of all such mortgage loans sold and securitized in such month; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to the Company with respect to any mortgage loans underwritten to the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities (“MBS”) Guide. PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the agreement, the Company currently purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days mortgage loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company.

Mortgage Loan Servicing

 

The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016 and pursuant to which the Company provides servicing for PMT’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans and subservicing for its portfolio of MSRs. The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per‑loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT. These include boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and a percentage of late charges.

 

·

The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $85 per month for loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month.

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

The Company is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed whole loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from $750 for a streamline modification to $1,750 for a full modification or liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee per loan in any 18-month period.

 

·

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

 

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

Investment Management Activities

 

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by its board of trustees, for which it collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

14

The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30‑year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then‑current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

 

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

 

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

Expense Reimbursement

 

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

 

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

Conditional Reimbursement of Underwriting Fees

 

In connection with its initial public offering of common shares of beneficial interest on August 4, 2009 (“IPO”), PMT conditionally agreed to reimburse the Company up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by the Company on PMT’s behalf. In the event a termination fee is payable to the Company under the Management Agreement, and the Company has not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. On February 1, 2019, the term of the reimbursement agreement was extended to February 1, 2023. The Company received $144,000 and $219,000 in reimbursement of underwriting fees from PMT during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Investing Activities

 

Master Repurchase Agreement

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

Financing Activities

 

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

 

On December 19, 2016, the Company amended and restated a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may sell to PMT, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by PMT in connection with the parties’ participation in the GNMA MSR Facility.

 

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

Exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC Unitholders

 

On May 8, 2013, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain former owners of PennyMac that provides for the payment from time to time by the Company to PennyMac’s exchanged unitholders of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the net tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis of PennyMac’s assets resulting from exchanges of ownership interests in PennyMac and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

 

Although the Reorganization eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and will be required to make payments, if any, under the tax receivable agreement to those certain prior owners of PennyMac who effected exchanges of ownership interests in PennyMac for the Company’s common stock prior to the closing of the Reorganization in November 2018.

 

18

Based on the PennyMac unitholder exchanges to date, the Company has recorded a $46.5 million Payable to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC unitholders under tax receivable agreement as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company did not make any payments under the tax receivable agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 Note 6—Fair Value

 

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

·

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

 

·

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

 

·

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

 

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

 

Fair Value Accounting Elections

 

The Company identified all of its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets other than Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell, to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. Management has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

 

The Company’s Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell,  Assets sold under agreements to repurchase,  Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements,  Notes payable and Obligations under capital lease are carried at amortized cost.

These assets and liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these assets and liabilities other than the Term Notes included in Notes payable approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates. The fair value of the Term Notes at June 30, 2019 was $1.3 billion and was based on non-affiliate broker indications of value. The fair value of Term Notes at December 31, 2018 was $1.3 billion, and was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach using indications of market pricing spreads provided by non-affiliated brokers to develop an appropriate discount rate.

 

Valuation Governance

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

 

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

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

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

 

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

(2)

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

 

(3)

Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

 

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument specific credit risk are measured by reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

 

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

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which decreases in fair value.

 

Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value and may be allocated to Net loan servicing fees – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities as an economic hedge of the fair value of MSRs in the consolidated statements of income when IRLCs are included as a component of the Company’s MSR hedging strategy.

Hedging Derivatives

 

Fair value of exchange-traded hedging derivative financial instruments are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

 

Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans acquired for sale at fair value, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income. 

 

Repurchase Agreement Derivatives

 

The Company has a master repurchase agreement that includes incentives for financing mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics. These incentives are classified for financial reporting purposes as embedded derivatives and are separated for accounting purposes from the master repurchase agreement. The Company classifies these derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets. The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation of these derivative assets are the discount rate and the Company’s expected approval rate of the mortgage loans financed under the master repurchase agreement. The resulting ratio included in the Company’s fair value estimate was 98.5% and 97.0%, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), prepayment rates of the underlying loans, and annual per-loan cost to service the loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

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

 

35

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

 

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

 

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

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

 

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

Note 8—Derivative Financial Instruments

 

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

37

 

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

Note 11—Borrowings

 

The borrowing facilities described throughout this Note 11 contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to-equity ratio, profitability and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019.

 

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

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

In 2017, PFSI entered into a master repurchase agreement that provides the Company with incentives to finance mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics as provided in the agreement. The Company included $3.9 million and $12.5 million of such incentives as reductions in Interest expense during the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $13.2 million and $22.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The master repurchase agreement expires on August 21, 2019, unless extended or terminated earlier at the option of the lender. The lender substantially curtailed the incentives provided under the master repurchase agreement through an orderly wind down of the incentive program during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The amount the Company is able to borrow under asset repurchase agreements is tied to the fair value of unencumbered assets eligible to secure those agreements and the Company’s ability to fund the agreements’ margin requirements relating to the assets financed.

(4)

Beneficial interests in the Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advances are pledged to the Issuer Trust and together serve as the collateral backing the VFN, 2018-GT1 Notes and 2018-GT2 Notes described in Notes Payable. The VFN financing is included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and 2018-GT1 Notes and 2018-GT2 Notes are included in Notes payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

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

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

 

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

 

47

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

 

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements are summarized below:

Notes Payable

 

Term Notes

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company, through the Issuer Trust, issued an aggregate principal amount of $650 million in Term Notes (the “2018-GT1 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2018-GT1 Notes bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.85% per annum. The 2018-GT1 Notes will mature on February 25, 2023 or, if extended pursuant to the terms of the related indenture supplement, February 25, 2025 (unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms). Concurrent with issuance of the 2018-GT1 Notes, the Company also redeemed certain notes previously issued by the Issuer Trust. As a result, the Company recognized unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.4 million in Interest Expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

 

On August 10, 2018, the Company, through the Issuer Trust, issued an aggregate principal amount of $650 million in Term Notes (the “2018-GT2 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2018-GT2 Notes bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.65% per annum. The 2018-GT2 Notes will mature on August 25, 2023 or, if extended pursuant to the terms of the related indenture supplement, August 25, 2025 (unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms). Concurrent with the issuance of the 2018-GT2 Notes, the Company also redeemed certain notes previously issued by the Issuer Trust. As a result, the Company recognized unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.6 million in Interest Expense during the quarter ended September 31, 2018.

 

All of the Term Notes rank pari passu with each other and with the VFN issued by the Issuer Trust to PLS and are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs and ESS that are financed pursuant to the GNMA MSR Facility.

Corporate Revolving Line of Credit

 

On November 1, 2018, the Company, through its subsidiary, PennyMac (the “Borrower”), entered into amendments (the "Amendments") to that certain (i) amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of November 18, 2016, by and among the Borrower, the lenders that are parties thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger (the “Credit Agreement”); and (ii) amended and restated collateral and guaranty agreement, dated as of November 18, 2016, by and among the Borrower, as grantor, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS Cayman”), as collateral agent, and PNMAC Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) and certain of its subsidiaries, PCM, PLS and PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (“Associates”), as guarantors and grantors (“the “Guaranty”).

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed $150 million. Interest on the loans shall accrue at a per annum rate of interest equal to, at the election of the Borrower, either LIBOR plus the applicable margin or an alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). During the existence of certain events of default, interest shall accrue at a higher default rate. The proceeds of the loans are to be used solely for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

 

The primary purposes of the Amendments were to (i) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to October 31, 2019; (ii) name the Company as an additional guarantor under the Credit Agreement; and (iii) release Associates from its obligations as a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are now guaranteed by PFSI, PNMAC Holdings, Inc., PCM and PLS, and secured by a grant by each of the referenced grantors of its respective right, title and interest in and to limited and otherwise unencumbered (other than specified permitted encumbrances) specified contract rights, specified deposit accounts, all documents and instruments related to such specified contract rights and specified deposit accounts, and any and all proceeds and products thereof. All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and Guaranty remain the same in all material respects.

 

MSR Note Payable

 

On February 1, 2018, the Company issued a note payable in favor of CS Cayman that is secured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs.  Interest is charged at a rate based on LIBOR plus the applicable contract margin. The facility expires on February 1, 2020. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the note payable is $400 million, less any amount outstanding under the agreement to repurchase pursuant to which the Company finances the VFN. The Company did not borrow under this note payable during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

 

In conjunction with its purchase from non-affiliates of certain MSRs on pools of Agency-backed residential mortgage loans, the Company has entered into sale and assignment agreements with PMT. Under these agreements, the Company sold to PMT the right to receive ESS cash flows relating to certain MSRs. The Company retained a fixed base servicing fee and all ancillary income associated with servicing the loans. The Company continues to be the servicer of the mortgage loans and retains all servicing obligations, including responsibility to make servicing advances.

Note 13—Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 27.0% and 8.4% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 25.7% and 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Beginning November 1, 2018, the Company’s income subject to income tax includes the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the parent Company level before the Reorganization. As a result, the Company reported a higher effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 than for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

 

51

Regulatory Matters

 

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are subject to various state and federal regulations related to its loan production and servicing operations by the various states it operates in as well as federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, HUD, and the FHA and is subject to the requirements of the Agencies to which it sells loans and for which it performs loan servicing activities. As a result, the Company may become involved in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by such various federal, state and local regulatory bodies.

 

Commitments to Purchase and Fund Mortgage Loans

 

The Company’s commitments to purchase and fund loans totaled $4.7 billion as of June 30, 2019.

 

 

 

Note 15—Stockholders’ Equity

 

In June 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock.

Note 16—Noncontrolling Interest

 

As a result of the Reorganization, noncontrolling interest unitholders contributed their Class A units of PNMAC in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock without any cash consideration on a one-for-one basis. Consequently, the noncontrolling interest was reclassified to the Company’s paid-in capital accounts, net of deferred income taxes attributable to the noncontrolling interests.

 

Net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders and the effects of changes in noncontrolling ownership interest in PennyMac are summarized below:

In 2017, the Company entered into a master repurchase agreement that provides the Company with incentives to finance mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics as provided in the agreement.  The Company included $3.9 million and $12.5 million of such incentives as reductions in Interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $13.2 million and $22.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The master repurchase agreement expires on August 21, 2019, unless extended or terminated earlier at the option of the lender. The lender substantially curtailed the incentives provided under the master repurchase agreement through an orderly wind down of the incentive program during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Note 20—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

 

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

 

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-vested stock-based compensation awards and, before the Reorganization, PennyMac Class A units. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards. As a result of the Reorganization, all PNMAC Class A units converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Note 22—Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements

 

The Company, through PLS and PennyMac, is required to maintain specified levels of capital and liquidity to remain a seller/servicer in good standing with the Agencies. Such capital and liquid asset requirements generally are tied to the size of the Company’s loan servicing portfolio or loan origination volume.

 

The Company is subject to financial eligibility requirements for sellers/servicers eligible to sell or service mortgage loans with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The eligibility requirements include tangible net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of the Company’s total 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for others and a liquidity requirement equal to 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB in excess of 600 basis points.

 

The Company is also subject to financial eligibility requirements for Ginnie Mae single-family issuers. The eligibility requirements include net worth of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations and a liquidity requirement equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 10 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities.

 

The Agencies’ capital and liquidity requirements, the calculations of which are specified by each Agency, are summarized below:

Note 23—Segments

 

The Company operates in three segments: production, servicing and investment management.

 

Two of the segments are in the mortgage banking business: production and servicing. The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities. The servicing segment performs servicing of loans, execution and management of early buyout loan transactions and servicing of loans sourced and managed by the investment management segment for PMT, including executing the loan resolution strategy identified by the investment management segment relating to distressed mortgage loans.

 

The investment management segment represents the activities of the Company’s investment manager, which include sourcing, performing diligence, bidding and closing investment asset acquisitions and managing the acquired assets and correspondent production activities for PMT.

 

Financial performance and results by segment are as follows:

During this period, on July 23, 2019, the Company through PLS, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of August 19, 2016, by and among JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) and PLS, pursuant to which PLS may sell to, and later repurchase from, JPM certain newly originated mortgage loans.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements including the related notes of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

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

 

Our Company

 

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

 

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

 

We were formed as a Delaware corporation on July 2, 2018. We became the top-level parent holding company for the consolidated PennyMac business pursuant to a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that was consummated on November 1, 2018. Before the Reorganization, PNMAC Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) (“PNMAC Holdings”) was our top-level parent holding company and our public company registrant.

 

One result of the consummation of the Reorganization was that our equity structure was changed to create a single class of publicly-held common stock as opposed to the two classes that were in place before the Reorganization. The Reorganization is to be treated as an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and/or a transfer described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. PNMAC Holdings’ financial statements remain our historical financial statements.

 

61

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

 

Our investment management subsidiary is PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), as amended. PCM manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a mortgage real estate investment trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT. PCM previously managed PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC, PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, an affiliate of these funds and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our “Investment Funds” and, together with PMT, as our “Advised Entities.”  The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

 

We conduct our business in three segments: production, servicing (together, production and servicing comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management.

 

·

The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities.

·

The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PMT.

·

The investment management segment represents our investment management activities, which include the activities associated with investment asset acquisitions and dispositions such as sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and settlement.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, pretax income increased $24.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increases in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value,  Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, and Loan origination fees,  reflecting higher production volume and improved profit margins, partially offset by decreases in Net loan servicing fees and increases in total expenses. The decreases in Net loan servicing fees were mainly due to the effect of lower interest rates on the fair value of our MSRs that resulted in fair value losses net of hedging results, compared to fair value gains during the same periods in 2018. The increases in total expenses were mainly due to increases in loan origination and compensation expenses, reflecting the continuing growth of our mortgage banking activities.  

 

These increases in pretax income were offset by increases in the provision for income taxes resulting from the Reorganization. As a result of the increased provision for income taxes, net income increased by only $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $16.5 million compared to the same period in 2018. However, as a result of the Reorganization, we no longer allocate any of our net income to our former noncontrolling interest. As the result, net income attributable to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. common stockholders increased $54.8 million and $84.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018.

Net loan servicing fees decreased $54.6 million and $90.8 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decreases were primarily due to an increase of $110.9 million and $185.9 million in losses in fair value of MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), net of hedging results, during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from the effect of decreasing interest rates. The increased losses were partially offset by increases of $56.4 million and $95.1 million in loan servicing fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from an increase in our average servicing portfolio of 27% and 25% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.

 

65

Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

 

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

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $147.5 million and $232.3 million, respectively, an increase of $86.6 million and $99.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to an improvement in profit margins in our mortgage production business and an increase in loan production volume, reflecting increased demand for mortgage loans during 2019 as compared to 2018.

Our gain on sale of  loans held for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur liabilities for mortgage servicing liabilities (which represents the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for early buyout of delinquent loans (“EBO loans”) we have resold) and for the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representation and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions. How we measure and update our measurements of MSRs and MSLs is detailed in Note 6 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Our agreements with the purchasers and insurers include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

 

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

 

The method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis. 

 

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $1.6 million and $2.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.7 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We also recorded reductions in the liability of $0.9 million and $5.1 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and 2.5 million during the quarter and six months ended June 20, 2018, respectively. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limits the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased loans totaling $7.2 million and $11.3 million in UPB, respectively. We recorded losses of $30,000 net of recoveries, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. If the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, the loans sold continue to season, economic conditions change or investor and insurer loss mitigation strategies are adjusted, the level of repurchase activity may increase.

 

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

 

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

 

Loan origination fees

 

Loan origination fees increased $12.5 million and $11.9 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in volume of loans we produced.

Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust

 

Fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. The fulfillment fees are calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the loans we fulfill for PMT.

Fulfillment fees increased $15.0 million and $30.7 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to a combination of an increase in PMT’s loan production volume and a decrease in discretionary reductions in the fulfillment fee rate during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income decreased $4.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to:

·

an increase in interest expense on repurchase agreements, reflecting the substantial curtailment of financing incentives we received from one of our lenders and an increase in average borrowing balances during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to fund a  higher volume of mortgage loan production compared to the same period in 2018;

·

an increase in interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations, reflecting increased loan payoffs as a result of the lower interest rates in 2019 as compared to 2018;

·

partially offset by an increase in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage, reflecting the growth of our servicing portfolio and higher earnings rates in 2019 compared to 2018.

 

Net interest income increased $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on repurchase agreements due to a reduction in incentives received to finance certain mortgage loans.

 

We entered into a master repurchase agreement in 2017 that provides us with incentives to finance mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics as provided in the agreement. We recorded $3.9 million and $12.5 million of such incentives as reductions in Interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $13.2 million and $22.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The master repurchase agreement expires on August 21, 2019, unless extended or terminated earlier at the option of the lender. As we expected, the lender substantially curtailed the incentives provided under the master repurchase agreement through an orderly wind down of the incentive program during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Management fees increased $3.2 million and $4.6 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, reflecting the combined effect of the performance incentive fees arising from PMT’s increased profitability and the increase in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity upon which its base management fees are based. The increase in average shareholders’ equity was primarily due to the issuance of new common shares by PMT during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Compensation expense increased $16.2 million and $20.8 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increases in incentive compensation resulting from performance-based incentives in our mortgage banking business, higher than expected attainment of profitability targets along with increases in salaries and wages due to increased average headcounts resulting from the growth in our mortgage banking activities during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

70

Servicing

 

Servicing expenses increased $518,000 and $4.5 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increased purchases of EBO loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we purchased  $785.5 million in UPB of EBO loans, compared to $692.8 million during the same period in 2018.

 

The EBO program reduces the ongoing cost of servicing defaulted loans that have been sold into Ginnie Mae MBS when we purchase and either sell the defaulted loans or finance them with debt at interest rates below the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rates. While the EBO program reduces the ultimate cost of servicing such loan pools, it results in loss recognition when the loans are purchased. We recognize the loss because purchasing the mortgage loans from their Ginnie Mae pools causes us to write off accumulated non-reimbursable interest advances, net of interest receivable from the loans’ insurer or guarantor at the debenture rate of interest we receive from the insurer or guarantor while the loan is in default.

 

Loan origination

 

Loan origination expense increased $17.9 million and $30.3 million during the quarter and six months ended June  30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increases in wholesale brokerage fees and loan file compilation expenses, resulting from increased consumer and broker direct lending activities, as well as an increase in lender paid fees due to the mix of production volume shifting toward a higher proportion of VA-guaranteed loans during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods during 2018.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rates were 27.0%  and 25.7% during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 8.4%  during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. Beginning November 1, 2018, PFSI’s income subject to income tax includes the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the PFSI level before the Reorganization. As a result, we reported higher effective tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018.

Total assets increased $919.8 million from $7.5 billion at December 31, 2018 to $8.4 billion at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans held for sale at fair value resulting from an increase in loan production volume.

 

Total liabilities increased $794.6 million from $5.8 billion at December 31, 2018 to $6.6 billion at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings required to finance a larger inventory of loans held for sale combined with a $73.5 million increase in other liabilities due to recognition of operating lease liabilities effective January 1, 2019, as the result of our adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires us to recognize our contractual lease rights and obligations on our consolidated balance sheet.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $160.4 million primarily due to $327.5 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs and a $42.3 million decrease in short-term investments, partially offset by the purchase of MSRs totaling $217.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $95.8 million was primarily due to a $126.9 million net use of cash in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used for hedging our investment in MSRs and purchases of MSRs totaling $30.1 million, partially offset by a $71.5 million decrease in short-term investments.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $797.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily to finance the growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and our investments in MSRs. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $348.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to net repurchases of assets sold under agreements to repurchase, reflecting a reduction in our financing of loans held for sale.

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans and on our MSR investments), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from bank borrowings, proceeds from and issuance of ESS and/or equity or debt offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

 

Our current borrowing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our borrowing activities are in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, ESS financing, notes payable (including a revolving credit agreement) and a capital lease. Most of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for terms of approximately one year. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

 

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

The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect the fluctuations throughout the month of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.

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

 

·

positive net income during each calendar quarter;

 

·

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

 

·

a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

 

In addition to the covenants noted above, PennyMac’s revolving credit agreement and capital lease contain additional financial covenants including, but not limited to,

 

·

a minimum of cash equal to the amount borrowed under the revolving credit agreement;

 

·

a minimum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents equal to $25 million;

 

·

a minimum of tangible net worth of $500 million;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·

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

 

74

·

FHFA net worth requirement is a minimum net worth of $2.5 million plus 0.25% (25 basis points) of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced and a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

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

 

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

 

In June 2017, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that allows us to repurchase up to $50 million of our common stock using open market stock purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. We intend to finance the stock repurchase program through cash on hand. From inception through June 30, 2019, we have repurchased $14.9 million of shares under our stock repurchase program.

 

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

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

 

As of June 30, 2019, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Software licenses include both volume and activity based fees that are dependent on the number of loans serviced during each period and include a base fee of approximately $1.9 million per month. Estimated payments for software licenses above are based on the number of loans currently serviced by us, which totaled approximately 1.6 million at June 30, 2019. Future amounts due may significantly fluctuate based on changes in the number of loans serviced by us. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, software license fees totaled $14.5 million. 

 

Debt Obligations

 

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

 

Under the terms of these agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of June 30, 2019, we believe we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

 

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

 

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

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

 

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

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Set forth below are material updates to legal proceedings of the Company.

 

As previously disclosed, on December 20, 2018, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in a putative class and derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Robert Garfield v. BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC et al., Case No. 2018-0917-KSJM (the “Garfield Action”).  The Garfield Action alleges, among other things, that certain current directors and officers of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by, among other things, agreeing to and entering into the Reorganization without ensuring that the Reorganization was entirely fair to the Company or public shareholders. The Reorganization was approved by 99.8% of voting shareholders on October 24, 2018. On March 1, 2019, the Company and its directors and officers named in the Garfield Action filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2019 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K filed on June 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding Class A common stock. The stock repurchase program does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased are based on market conditions and other factors, including price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. Stock repurchases may be effected through negotiated transactions or open market purchases, including pursuant to a trading plan implemented pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
