Note 4—Variable Interest Entities

The Company entered into securitization transactions in which PLS transfers participation certificates in its Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae MSRs to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that issue variable funding notes (“VFNs”) to PLS and term debt backed by the participation certificates. PLS finances the VFNs by selling them under agreements to repurchase. The Company acts as guarantor of the VFNs and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder of the VFNs and guarantor of the VFNs and term debt, it holds the variable interests 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 financing of VFNs is 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 Debt and Note 15 – Long-Term Debt.
