Projections of amortization expense for mortgage servicing rights are based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of June 30, 2018. Heartland's actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and market conditions. Mortgage loans serviced for others were approximately $4.16 billion and $3.56 billion as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the mortgage loan servicing portfolio were approximately $34.4 million and $17.3 million as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value of Heartland's mortgage servicing rights was estimated at $47.4 million at June 30, 2018, and $37.1 million at December 31, 2017.

Heartland acquired the right to service mortgage loans totaling $640.7 million and a fair value of $7.0 million with the First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc. transaction that closed on May 18, 2018. Heartland's mortgage servicing rights portfolio is comprised of loans serviced for the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). Prior to the third quarter of 2017, Heartland also serviced loans for the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). The servicing rights portfolio is separated into 15- and 30-year tranches, and the servicing rights portfolio is an asset of two of Heartland's subsidiaries.

During the third quarter of 2017, Heartland entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its GNMA servicing portfolio, which contained loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $773.9 million. The transaction qualified as a sale, and $6.9 million of mortgage servicing rights were de-recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is calculated based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash flow assumptions, including prepayment speeds, servicing costs and escrow earnings are considered in the calculation. The average constant prepayment rate was 8.08% and 9.73% for the June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, valuations, respectively. The discount rate was 9.04% and 9.06% for the June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, valuations, respectively. The average capitalization rate for the first six months of 2018 ranged from 89 to 125 basis points compared to the range of 94 to 150 basis points for 2017. Fees collected for the servicing of mortgage loans for others were $2.4 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively, and $4.6 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The following table summarizes, in thousands, the changes in capitalized mortgage servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017:



	2018			2017
Balance at January 1,	$	23,248		$	32,088

Fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	47,357		$	43,597
Mortgage servicing rights, net to servicing portfolio	0.72		%	0.73		%

Heartland's commercial servicing portfolio is comprised of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and United States Department of Agriculture that have been sold with servicing retained by Heartland, which totaled $116.8 million at June 30, 2018 and $139.9 million at December 31, 2017. The commercial servicing rights portfolio is separated into two tranches at the respective Heartland subsidiary, loans with a term of less than 20 years and loans with a term of more than 20 years. Fees collected for the servicing of commercial loans for others were $425,000 and $376,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively, and $845,000 and $791,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of each commercial servicing rights portfolio is calculated based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash flow assumptions, including prepayment speeds and servicing costs, are considered in the calculation. The range of average constant prepayment rates for the valuations was 9.18% to 11.16% as of June 30, 2018, compared to 7.27% to 8.88% as of December 31, 2017. The discount rate range was 12.87% to 16.05% for the June 30, 2018, valuations compared to 13.04% to 15.49% for the December 31, 2017, valuations. The capitalization rate for both 2018 and 2017 ranged from 310 to 445 basis points. The total fair value of Heartland's commercial servicing rights was estimated at $2.5 million as of June 30, 2018, and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2017.

The following table summarizes, in thousands, the changes in capitalized commercial servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017:



	2018			2017
Balance at January 1,	$	2,609		$	3,690
Originations	21			133
Amortization	(580		)	(743		)
Valuation allowance on commercial servicing rights	(9		)	24
Balance at period end	$	2,041		$	3,104
Fair value of commercial servicing rights	$	2,502		$	3,678
Commercial servicing rights, net to servicing portfolio	1.75		%	2.08		%

Mortgage and commercial servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value in net gains on sale of loans held for sale when they are acquired through loan sales. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Mortgage and commercial servicing rights are subsequently measured using the amortization method, which requires the asset to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each Heartland subsidiary based upon the fair value of the assets as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for specific tranches to the extent that fair value is less than carrying amount at each Heartland subsidiary. During the second quarter of 2018, a $209,000 valuation allowance was required on the mortgage servicing rights acquired through the acquisition of the First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc. transaction that closed on May 18, 2018. At June 30, 2018, no valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term less than 20 years and a $21,000 valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term greater than 20 years. At December 31, 2017, no valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term less than 20 years and a $12,000 valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term greater than 20 years.
