Note 4—Variable Interest Entities

The Company entered into securitization transactions in which variable interest entities (“VIEs”) may issue variable funding notes and term debt backed by beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). The Company acts as guarantor of the variable funding notes and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder and guarantor of the variable funding notes, it holds the variable interest in the VIEs. Therefore, PFSI consolidates the VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value, the variable funding notes are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, and the term debt is included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This financing is detailed in Note 14 – Short-Term Borrowings and Note 15 – Long Term Debt.
