CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may also be made in other documents filed or furnished with the SEC or may be made orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others.

 

Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent only our current beliefs regarding future events. All forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Such statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could”. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

 

¡           the exploration of a separation or sale of our fleet business, our mortgage business or both such businesses;

 

¡           potential acquisitions, dispositions, partnerships, joint ventures and changes in product offerings to achieve disciplined growth in our franchise platforms and to optimize our mortgage and fleet management services businesses;

 

¡           our expectations of the impacts of regulatory changes on our businesses;

 

¡           our expected cost reductions and responses to the changing mortgage production environment;

 

¡           future origination volumes and loan margins in the mortgage industry;

 

¡           our belief that our mortgage servicing rights funding relationship will contribute positively to our cash flows;

 

¡           our belief that sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund operations;

 

¡           our belief that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are substantially complete with pre-2009 vintage mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification requests, as well as our expectations for future requests and associated reserves and provisions;

 

¡           the impact of the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our financial statements; and

 

¡           our assessment of legal proceedings and associated reserves and provisions.

 

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and discussed in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K and those factors described below:

 

¡            the effects of market volatility or macroeconomic changes on the availability and cost of our financing arrangements and the value of our assets;

 

¡            the effects of changes in current interest rates on our business and our financing costs;

 

¡            our decisions regarding the use of derivatives related to mortgage servicing rights, if any, and the resulting potential volatility of the results of operations of our Mortgage Servicing segment;

 

¡            the impact of changes in the U.S. financial condition and fiscal and monetary policies, or any actions taken or to be taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the credit markets and the U.S. economy;

 

¡            the effects of any further declines in the volume of U.S. home sales and home prices, due to adverse economic changes or otherwise, on our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments;

 

¡            the effects of continued elevated volumes or increases in our actual and projected repurchases of, indemnification given in respect of, or related losses associated with, sold mortgage loans for which we have provided representations and warranties or other contractual recourse to purchasers and insurers of such loans, including increases in our loss severity and reserves associated with such loans;

Table of Contents

 

¡            the effects of any significant adverse changes in the underwriting criteria or existence or programs of government-sponsored entities, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including any changes caused by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other actions of the federal government;

 

¡            the ability to maintain our status as a government sponsored entity-approved seller and servicer, including the ability to continue to comply with the respective selling and servicing guides;

 

¡            the effects of changes in, or our failure to comply with, laws and regulations, including mortgage- and real estate-related laws and regulations, changes in the status of government sponsored-entities and changes in state, federal and foreign tax laws and accounting standards;

 

¡            the effects of any inquiries and investigations by attorneys general of certain states and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or other state or federal regulatory agencies related to our mortgage origination or servicing activities, any litigation related to our mortgage origination or servicing activities, or any related fines, penalties and increased costs;

 

¡            the ability to maintain our relationships with our existing clients, including our efforts to amend the terms of certain of our private label client agreements, and to establish relationships with new clients;

 

¡            the effects of competition in our existing and potential future lines of business, including the impact of consolidation within the industries in which we operate and competitors with greater financial resources and broader product lines;

 

¡            the inability or unwillingness of any of the counterparties to our significant customer contracts or financing arrangements to perform their respective obligations under, or to renew on terms favorable to us, such contracts, or our ability to continue to comply with the terms of our significant customer contracts, including service level agreements;

 

¡            the impact of the failure to maintain our credit ratings, including the impact on our cost of capital and ability to incur new indebtedness or refinance our existing indebtedness, as well as our current or potential customers’ assessment of our counterparty credit risk;

 

¡            the ability to obtain alternative funding sources for our mortgage servicing rights or to obtain financing (including refinancing and extending existing indebtedness) on acceptable terms, if at all, to finance our operations or growth strategies, to operate within the limitations imposed by our financing arrangements and to maintain the amount of cash required to service our indebtedness;

 

¡            a deterioration in the performance of assets held as collateral for secured borrowings;

 

¡            any failure to comply with covenants under our financing arrangements;

 

¡            the effects of any failure in or breach of our technology infrastructure, or those of our outsource providers, or any failure to implement changes to our information systems in a manner sufficient to comply with applicable laws, regulations and our contractual obligations;  and

 

¡            the ability to attract and retain key employees.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  Factors and assumptions discussed above, and other factors not identified above, may have an impact on the continued accuracy of any forward-looking statements that we make. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, “PHH” or the “Company”) is a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet management services operating in the following business segments:

 

¡        Mortgage Production — provides mortgage loan origination services and sells mortgage loans.

 

¡        Mortgage Servicing — performs servicing activities for originated and purchased loans.

 

¡        Fleet Management Services — provides commercial fleet management services.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of PHH and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. PHH Home Loans, LLC and its subsidiaries are consolidated within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Realogy Corporation’s ownership interest is presented as a noncontrolling interest.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those related to the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, mortgage loans held for sale and other financial instruments, the estimation of liabilities for mortgage loan repurchases and indemnifications and reinsurance losses, and the determination of certain income tax assets and liabilities and associated valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Unless otherwise noted and except for share and per share data, dollar amounts presented within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in millions.

 

Changes in Accounting Policies

 

Income Taxes. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11,”Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”.  This update to the income tax guidance clarifies the diversity in practice in the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.  This update requires the unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or as a liability to the extent the entity cannot or does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose.  The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2014 and applied the guidance prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that existed as of the effective date. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Receivables.  In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”.  This update to the receivable guidance clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate resulting from an in substance repossession or foreclosure. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of both: (i) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor; and (ii) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure.  The update requires the Company to apply the guidance using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Presentation and Disclosure of Discontinued Operations.  In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”.  Under the new guidance, only disposals of a component of an entity that represent a major strategic shift on an entity’s operations and financial results shall be reported in discontinued operations.  The guidance also requires the presentation as discontinued operation for an entity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.  In addition, the update expands disclosures for discontinued operations, requires new disclosures regarding disposals of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and expands disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. The update requires the Company to apply the amendments prospectively to all disposals and classifications as held for sale of components of an entity and to all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale within interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014.  Early adoption is permitted in limited circumstances.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard.

 

 

 

2.  Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.

 

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method excludes the effect of any contingently issuable securities where the contingency has not been met and the effect of securities that would be anti-dilutive.  Anti-dilutive securities may include:

 

¡                 outstanding stock-based compensation awards representing shares from restricted stock units and stock options;

 

¡                 stock assumed to be issued related to convertible notes; and

 

¡                 sold warrants related to the Company’s Convertible notes due 2014.

 

The computation also excludes shares related to the assumed issuance of the Convertible notes due 2014 and related purchased options as they are currently to be settled only in cash. Shares associated with anti-dilutive securities are outlined in the table below.

3.  Transfers and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

 

Residential mortgage loans are sold through one of the following methods: (i) sales to or pursuant to programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, or (ii) sales to private investors. The Company may have continuing involvement in mortgage loans sold by retaining one or more of the following: servicing rights and servicing obligations, recourse obligations and/or beneficial interests (such as interest-only strips, principal-only strips, or subordinated interests).  See Note 11, “Credit Risk” for a further description of recourse obligations.

 

The total servicing portfolio consists of loans associated with capitalized mortgage servicing rights, loans held for sale, and the portfolio associated with loans subserviced for others.  The total servicing portfolio, including loans subserviced for others, was $225.7 billion and $226.8 billion, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are related to the capitalized servicing portfolio and are created either through the direct purchase of servicing from a third party or through the sale of an originated loan.

 

During 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a portion of its newly-created Mortgage servicing rights to a third party, and the Company will have continuing involvement as subservicer.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, sales with a fair value of $1 million were completed under the terms of this arrangement.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had commitments to sell servicing rights related to $600 million of the unpaid principal balance of Mortgage loans held for sale and Interest rate lock commitments that are expected to result in closed loans.  Under this arrangement, the Company also had commitments to sell servicing rights related to $522 million of unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans (fair value of $6 million) that were included in the capitalized portfolio as of March 31, 2014.

Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt

 

On March 11, 2014, Chesapeake Funding LLC (“Chesapeake”) issued $800 million of Series 2014-1 Term notes.  Proceeds from the notes were used to repay a portion of the Series 2013-2 variable-funding notes.  On March 20, 2014, the total commitments under the Series 2013-2 and 2013-3 notes were reduced from $1.3 billion to $1.1 billion.

 

Secured Canadian Credit Facility

 

On March 21, 2014, the Secured Canadian credit facility was amended to decrease the committed revolving capacity from $118

million (C$125 million) to $23 million (C$25 million).

 

Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt

 

On February 4, 2014, the Wells Fargo facility was extended to February 3, 2015, and the total committed capacity was reduced from $450 million to $350 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2014, PHH Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (“PSART”), a special purpose bankruptcy remote trust was formed for the purpose of issuing asset-backed notes secured by servicing advance receivables.   PSART was consolidated as a result of the determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity, as discussed in Note 15, “Variable Interest Entities”.  On March 10, 2014, PSART issued variable funding notes with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $130 million.  Upon closing, a portion of the proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balance of the Fannie Mae Servicing advance facility.  The notes have a revolving period through March 9, 2015 and the final maturity of the notes is March 15, 2017.

 

Unsecured Debt

 

Convertible Notes

 

As of March 31, 2014, Convertible notes included: (i) $250 million of 4.0% Convertible notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2014; and (ii) $250 million of 6.0% Convertible notes with a maturity date of June 15, 2017.

 

Holders of the Convertible notes due 2014 may convert all or any portion at any time from, and including, March 1, 2014 through the third business day immediately preceding their maturity on September 1, 2014.  As of March 31, 2014, the amount that the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes was not material.  The 2014 notes currently may only be settled in cash upon conversion because the Company has not sought shareholder approval, as required by the New York Stock Exchange, to allow for the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock that will, or will upon issuance, equal or exceed 20% of outstanding shares.

 

Holders of the Convertible notes due 2017 may convert all or any portion of the notes, at their option, prior to December 15, 2016 only upon the occurrence of certain triggering events related to (i) the price of the notes, (ii) the price of the Company’s Common stock, or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.  Holders of the Convertible notes due 2017 may also convert all or any portion of the notes at any time, at their option from, and including, December 15, 2016 through the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the principal amount of the converted notes is payable in cash and the Company will pay or deliver (at its election): (i) cash; (ii) shares of the Company’s Common stock; or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Common stock; to settle amounts due if the conversion value exceeds the principal of the converted notes.   As of March 31, 2014, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes by $255 million, and the notes met the requirements for conversion.

Debt Covenants

 

Certain debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain other affirmative and negative covenants, termination events, and other restrictions, including, but not limited to, covenants relating to material adverse changes, consolidated net worth, liquidity, profitability, and available borrowing capacity maintenance, restrictions on indebtedness of the Company and its material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on certain types of payments, including dividends and stock repurchases. Certain other debt arrangements, including the Fannie Mae committed facility, contain provisions that permit the Company or our counterparty to terminate the arrangement upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

There were no significant amendments to the terms of debt covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to its debt arrangements.

 

Under certain of the Company’s financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify the Company if they believe it has breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were to be given, the Company believes it would have various periods in which to cure certain of such events of default. If the Company does not cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods, the maturity of certain debt agreements could be accelerated and the ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition, an event of default or acceleration under certain agreements and instruments would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of the Company’s other agreements and instruments.

 

 

10.   Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interim income tax benefit was recorded using the discrete effective tax rate method.  Management believes the use of the discrete method for this period is more appropriate than applying the full-year effective tax rate method since the full-year effective tax rate method would not be considered reliable due to the sensitivity to small changes to forecasted annual pre-tax results.  Under the discrete method, the Company determines the tax provision based upon actual results as if the interim period were a full-year period.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, interim income tax expense was recorded by applying a projected full-year effective income tax rate to the quarterly Income before income taxes for results that are deemed to be reliably estimable. Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of the Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are considered not to be reliably estimable, and therefore, discrete year-to-date income tax provisions are recorded on those results.

 

The following table and discussion summarizes items that significantly impacted Income tax expense or benefit and increased (decreased) the effective tax rate:

Noncontrolling interest. Represents the impact to the effective tax rate from Realogy Corporation’s portion of income taxes related to the income or loss attributable to PHH Home Loans.  The impact is driven by PHH Home Loans’ election to report as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, whereby, the tax expense is reported by the individual LLC members.  Accordingly, the Company’s Income tax expense or benefit includes only its proportionate share of the income tax related to the income or loss generated by PHH Home Loans.

11.   Credit Risk

 

The Company is subject to the following forms of credit risk:

¡    Consumer credit risk—through mortgage banking activities as a result of originating and servicing residential mortgage loans

¡    Commercial credit risk—through fleet management and leasing activities

¡    Counterparty credit risk—through derivative transactions, sales agreements and various mortgage loan origination and servicing agreements

 

Consumer Credit Risk

 

The Company is not subject to the majority of the risks inherent in maintaining a mortgage loan portfolio because loans are not held for investment purposes and are generally sold to investors within 30 days of origination.  The majority of mortgage loan sales are on a non-recourse basis; however, the Company has exposure in certain circumstances in its capacity as a loan originator and servicer to loan repurchases and indemnifications through representation and warranty provisions.

Repurchase and Foreclosure-Related Reserves

 

Representations and warranties are provided to investors and insurers on a significant portion of loans sold and are also assumed on purchased mortgage servicing rights.  In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, the Company may be required to repurchase the mortgage loan or indemnify the investor against loss.  If there is no breach of a representation and warranty provision, there is no obligation to repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor against loss.  In limited circumstances, the full risk of loss on loans sold is retained to the extent the liquidation of the underlying collateral is insufficient. In some instances where the Company has purchased loans from third parties, it may have the ability to recover the loss from the third party originator.  Repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations and for on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and real estate owned.

 

A summary of the activity in repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves is as follows:

Repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves consist of the following:

 

Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications

 

The maximum exposure to representation and warranty provisions exceeds the amount of loans in the capitalized portfolio of $127.2 billion; however, the maximum amount of losses cannot be estimated because the Company does not service all of the loans for which it has provided representations or warranties.  As of March 31, 2014, $215 million of loans have been identified in which the Company has full risk of loss or has identified a breach of representation and warranty provisions; 14% of which were at least 90 days delinquent (calculated based upon the unpaid principal balance of the loans).

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, liabilities for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations of $80 million and $100 million, respectively, are included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications represents management’s estimate of probable losses based on the best information available and requires the application of a significant level of judgment and the use of a number of assumptions.  These assumptions include the estimated amount and timing of repurchase and indemnification requests, the expected success rate in defending against requests, estimated insurance claim proceeds and denials and estimated loss severities on repurchases and indemnifications.  The liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications does not reflect losses from litigation or governmental and regulatory examinations, investigations or inquiries. While the Company uses the best information available in estimating the liability, actual experience can vary significantly from the assumptions as the estimation process is inherently uncertain.

 

Given the inherent uncertainties involved in estimating losses associated with future repurchase and indemnification requests, there is a reasonable possibility that future losses may be in excess of the recorded liability.  As of March 31, 2014, the estimated amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the recorded liability was $25 million which relates to our estimate of repurchase and foreclosure-related charges that may not be reimbursed pursuant to government mortgage insurance programs in the event we do not file insurance claims.  The estimate is based on our expectation of future defaults and the historical defect rate for government insured loans.  The Company’s estimate of reasonably possible losses does not represent probable losses and is based upon significant judgments and assumptions which can be influenced by many factors, including: (i) home

prices and the levels of home equity; (ii) the quality of our underwriting procedures; (iii) borrower delinquency and default patterns; and (iv) general economic conditions.

Mortgage Reinsurance

 

The Company no longer has exposure to consumer credit risk through reinsurance activities since any contractual reinsurance agreements were terminated in the second quarter of 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had exposure to losses from one contract with a primary mortgage insurance company that was inactive and in runoff.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the increase in the liability for reinsurance losses was not significant and the Company realized losses of $4 million.

 

Commercial Credit Risk

 

Vehicle leases are primarily classified as operating leases; however, certain leases are classified as direct financing leases and recorded within Net investment in fleet leases in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, both direct financing leases greater than 90 days past due and direct financing leases greater than 90 days past due that are still accruing interest were not significant. There were no allowances for credit losses related to direct financing leases at the end of either period.

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Contingencies

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings, which include private and civil litigation as well as government and regulatory examinations, investigations and inquiries or other requests for information.  These matters are at varying procedural stages and primarily relate to contractual disputes and other commercial, employment and tax claims.  The resolution of these various matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations.  Alternately, the Company may engage in settlement discussions on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation.

 

Reserves are established for pending or threatened litigation, claims or assessments when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.  In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in litigation and other legal proceedings, it is not always possible to determine a reasonable estimate of the amount of a probable loss, and the Company may estimate a range of possible loss for consideration in its estimates.  The estimates are based upon currently available information and involve significant judgment taking into account the varying stages and inherent uncertainties of such matters.  Accordingly, the Company’s estimates may change from time to time and such changes may be material to the consolidated financial results.  Given the inherent uncertainties and status of the Company’s outstanding legal proceedings, the range of reasonably possible loss cannot be estimated for all matters.  For matters where the Company can estimate the range of losses, the aggregate estimated amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the recorded liability was $15 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s recorded reserves associated with legal and regulatory contingencies were not material.  However, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of the Company’s pending or threatened litigation, claims or assessments will not result in losses in excess of the Company’s recorded reserves.  As a result, the ultimate resolution of any particular legal matter, or matters, could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for the period in which such matter is resolved.

 

The following are descriptions of the Company’s significant legal and regulatory matters, which may involve loss contingencies.

 

Contingencies Involving Mortgage Origination and Servicing Practices

 

The Company has received inquiries and requests for information from, and is subject to investigations by, regulators and attorneys general of certain states, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Attorneys Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, requesting information as to the Company’s mortgage origination and servicing practices, including its foreclosure processes and procedures.

 

The Company has received document subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and the U.S. Attorneys Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.  The HUD subpoenas request production of certain documents related to, among other things, our origination and underwriting process for loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”).  The U.S. Attorneys Offices subpoenas requested production of certain documents related to, among other things, foreclosure expenses that we incurred in connection with the foreclosure of loans insured or guaranteed by FHA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and loans sold pursuant to programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. The Company has also undergone a regulatory examination by a multistate coalition of certain mortgage banking regulators and such regulators have alleged various violations of federal and state laws related to the Company’s mortgage servicing practices prior to July 2011.

 

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these various allegations.  However, there can be no assurance that claims or litigation will not arise from these inquiries, or similar inquiries by other governmental authorities, or that fines, penalties or increased legal costs will not be incurred in connection with these matters.

 

25



Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

In addition to the increased regulatory focus on origination and servicing practices described above, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also had a continued focus on foreclosure practices.  They have assessed compensatory fees against the Company for failing to meet certain foreclosure timelines specified in their respective servicing guides.  Although such compensatory fees have not been material to date, there can be no assurance that the assessment of any such compensatory fees will not be material to the Company’s results in the future.

 

CFPB Investigation

 

In January 2014, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “CFPB”) initiated an administrative proceeding alleging that the Company’s reinsurance activities, including its mortgage insurance premium ceding practices, have violated certain provisions of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) and other laws enforced by the CFPB.  Through its reinsurance subsidiaries, the Company assumed risk in exchange for premiums ceded from primary mortgage insurance companies.  The Company did not provide reinsurance on loans originated after 2009.

 

The Company believes that it has complied with RESPA and other laws applicable to its former mortgage reinsurance activities, and intends to vigorously defend against the CFPB’s allegations.  Given the nature of this investigation and the related allegations, the Company cannot estimate the amount of loss or a range of possible losses, if any, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not result in losses, which could be material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

Lender-Placed Insurance

 

The Company is currently subject to pending litigation alleging that its servicing practices around lender-placed insurance were not in compliance with applicable laws.  Through its mortgage subsidiary, the Company did have certain outsourcing arrangements for the purchase of lender-placed hazard insurance for borrowers whose coverage had lapsed.  The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these allegations; however, the resolution of such matter may result in adverse judgments, other relief against the Company, as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations.   Alternately, the Company may engage in settlement discussions in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation.  Given the nature of this matter and the related allegations, the Company cannot estimate the amount of loss or a range of possible losses, if any, associated with this matter and there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not result in losses which could be material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company updates the valuation of each instrument recorded at fair value on a quarterly basis, evaluating all available observable information, which may include current market prices or bids, recent trade activity, changes in the levels of market activity and benchmarking of industry data.  For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, there has been no change in the valuation methodologies and classification pursuant to the valuation hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The incorporation of counterparty credit risk did not have a significant impact on the valuation of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.  Significant inputs to the measurement of fair value and further information on the assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, this analysis does not assume any impact resulting from management’s intervention to mitigate these variations.

 

The effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption and the assumptions used in valuing the MSRs are independently aggregated. Although there are certain inter-relationships among the various key assumptions noted above, changes in one of the significant assumptions would not independently drive changes in the others.  The prepayment speed assumptions are highly dependent upon interest rates, which drive borrowers’ propensity to refinance; however, there are other factors that can influence borrower refinance activity.  These factors include housing prices, the levels of home equity, underwriting standards and loan product characteristics.  The OAS is a component of the discount rate used to present value the cash flows of the MSR asset and represents the spread over a base interest rate that equates the present value of cash flows of an asset to the market price of that asset.  The weighted average delinquency rate is based on the current and projected credit characteristics of the capitalized servicing portfolio and is dependent on economic conditions, home equity and delinquency and default patterns.

Derivative Instruments. The average pullthrough percentage used in measuring the fair value of Interest rate lock commitment’s (“IRLCs”) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 73% and 77%, respectively. The pullthrough percentage is considered a significant unobservable input and is estimated based on changes in pricing and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of loan closing and fallout data.  Actual loan pullthrough is compared to the modeled estimates in order to evaluate this assumption each period based on current trends.  Generally, a change in interest rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the pullthrough percentage, and the impact to fair value of a change in pullthrough would be partially offset by the related change in price.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all financial instruments were either recorded at fair value or the carrying value approximated fair value, with the exception of Debt and derivative instruments included in Total PHH Corporation stockholders’ equity. For financial instruments that were not recorded at fair value, such as Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash, the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.  These financial instruments are classified within Level One of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Debt.  As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total fair value of Debt was $5.8 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively, and substantially all of the debt is measured using Level Two inputs. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of Level Two Debt was estimated using the following valuation techniques: (i) $4.6 billion was measured using a market based approach, considering the current market pricing of recent trades for similar instruments or the current expected ask price for the Company’s debt instruments; (ii) $0.6 billion was measured using observable spreads and terms for recent pricing of similar instruments; and (iii) $0.6 billion was measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating assumptions based on current market information available for similar debt instruments.

 

15.  Variable Interest Entities

 

Servicing Advance Receivables Trust

 

In the first quarter of 2014, PHH Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (“PSART”) and PHH Servicer Advance Funding Depositor, LLC (the “Depositor”) (collectively the “Servicing Advance Receivables Trust”) were formed.  PSART is a special purpose bankruptcy remote trust and was formed for the purpose of issuing asset-backed notes secured by servicing advance receivables.  The Company, the Depositor and  PSART entered into a Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement under which the Company has conveyed (and may in the future convey) to the Depositor the contractual right to reimbursement of certain mortgage loan servicing advances made by the Company related to its servicing activities.  The Depositor in turn sells the servicing advances to PSART.  Upon the initial funding of the entity, the Company determined that PSART and the Depositor are variable interest entities based on their nature and purpose, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

 

In March 2014, PSART entered into an agreement to issue asset-backed notes as further discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Borrowing Arrangements”.  Certain capital transactions are executed between the Company and the Depositor whereby subsidiaries of the Company contribute receivables to the Depositor and receive distributions upon the issuance of notes or leveraging of note series.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed Accounts receivable of $156 million to the Depositor, and received distributions of $117 million.

16.  Segment Information

 

Operations are conducted through three business segments: Mortgage Production, Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services.

 

¡                 Mortgage Production — provides mortgage loan origination services and sells mortgage loans.

 

¡                 Mortgage Servicing — performs servicing activities for originated and purchased loans.

 

¡                 Fleet Management Services — provides commercial fleet management services.

 

The heading Other includes certain income and expenses not allocated to the three reportable segments and intersegment eliminations.  The operations of the Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are located in the U.S, and the operations of the Fleet Management Services segment are located in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Management evaluates the operating results of each of the reportable segments based upon Net revenues and Segment profit or loss, which is presented as the Income or loss before income tax expense or benefit and after Net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. The Mortgage Production segment profit or loss excludes Realogy Corporation’s noncontrolling interest in the profit or loss of PHH Home Loans.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet management services. We conduct our business through three operating segments: Mortgage Production, Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services. Our Mortgage Production segment originates, purchases and sells mortgage loans through PHH Mortgage. Our Mortgage Servicing segment services mortgage loans originated by PHH Mortgage and acts as a subservicer for certain clients that own the underlying servicing rights. Our Fleet Management Services segment provides commercial fleet management services to corporate clients and government agencies throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Although our Fleet Management Services segment has historically generated a larger portion of our Net revenues, our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments have historically contributed a significantly larger portion of our Net income or loss.  Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments have experienced, and may continue to experience, high degrees of earnings volatility due to significant exposure to interest rates and the real estate markets, which impacts our loan origination volumes, valuation of our mortgage servicing rights and repurchase and foreclosure-related charges.  See “—Risk Management” in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our interest rate and market risks.

Our financial results for the first quarter of 2014 reflect the challenging mortgage industry environment, including declines in industry origination volumes, margin compression, increased competition and a higher regulatory focus.  Our Fleet Management Services segment has continued its consistent operating performance.  As discussed in more detail under “— Corporate Strategy” below, we are continuing to evaluate the separation or sale of our fleet business, our mortgage business, or both of our businesses.

 

Net revenues of our Mortgage Production segment declined $170 million (67%) from the first quarter of 2013, reflecting a 36% decline in applications, a 65% decline in IRLCs and an 81 bps (22%) decrease in total loan margins.  Total closings also declined by 45% compared to the first quarter of 2013, primarily driven by a 63% decline in refinance closings, consistent with the relative interest rate environments.  Our actions taken in the second half of 2013 and first quarter of 2014 to reduce staffing levels in our Mortgage Production segment in response to expected client and industry demand have resulted in salary expense reductions in production and overhead functions.  Assuming mortgage interest rates and our origination volumes remain near their current levels, we still anticipate generating $110 million of annualized cost reductions in 2014 in comparison to second quarter of 2013 levels.

 

Despite the cost reduction efforts, the results of our Mortgage Production segment still reflected the industry-wide reductions in mortgage loan originations and the expected seasonal declines in home purchase volume.  As a result, the Mortgage Production segment recorded a $60 million Segment loss in the first quarter of 2014, compared to Segment profit of $45 million in the first quarter of 2013.  We expect a highly challenging mortgage industry environment to continue throughout 2014.  If the current mortgage market conditions and interest rate levels persist, our Mortgage Production segment will likely be unprofitable and cash consumptive for 2014.

 

We are continuing to experience favorable trends in mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification requests as file reviews for pre-2009 origination years were minimal in the first quarter of 2014.  Our current experience with mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification requests is consistent with our expectations, and as a result repurchase and foreclosure-related charges were not significant in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $15 million for the first quarter of 2013.  See “—Risk Management” for additional information regarding our loan repurchase obligations and potential exposure.

 

Our financial results were also significantly affected by changes in mortgage interest rates that led to market-related changes in value of our mortgage servicing rights.  During the first quarter of 2014, we recorded $45 million of unfavorable market-related changes in value of our mortgage servicing rights, compared to favorable changes of $82 million for the first quarter of 2013.

 

Corporate Strategy

 

Our strategic vision for PHH is a more capital-light, fee-based business with greater scale, operational efficiency and capital efficiency.  As previously discussed in our 2013 Form 10-K, consistent with our long-term value creation objective, we are exploring a separation or sale of our fleet business, our mortgage business, or both of our businesses.  In connection with this objective, we have been engaged in discussions with potentially interested parties and we also may examine potential acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures and changes in product offerings to achieve our strategic vision.   We will also evaluate the use of any excess cash resulting from these efforts, which

 

35



Table of Contents

 

may include the prepayment of unsecured debt, strategic business investments, and/or the return of capital to shareholders. Although we are currently exploring the separation of one or both of our businesses and other related transactions, there can be no assurance as to the timing, terms or success of these efforts. For more information, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Company— We are exploring ways to maximize shareholder value through the sale or separation of our fleet business, our mortgage business, or both such businesses.  There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with pursuing such exploratory activities and/or consummating one or more such transactions.  These risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse impact on our businesses generally, including our client, employee, lender, vendor and counterparty relationships, as well as our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial position.” and “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Common Stock— A change in control transaction or a fundamental change in our business may result in a number of significant cash outflows that could reduce the value of our businesses when separated or acquired.  Further, certain provisions of our debt arrangements and the provisions of certain other agreements could discourage third parties from seeking to acquire us, could prevent or delay a transaction resulting in a change of control, or could reduce the value of our businesses if separated.” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

We also have participated in discussions with a majority of our private label clients to amend our contracts in an effort to ensure that our relationships meet regulatory compliance requirements as well as our operational and financial objectives.  In our discussions thus far, we have not been able to achieve all of the pricing adjustments necessary to meet our financial objectives and, given the current expected volume and origination mix of our private label channel, certain of these contracts will likely not be profitable in the context of the overall Mortgage Production segment during 2014.  Although we remain in active discussions with our largest private label clients, we believe that any meaningful pricing adjustments will take substantial time to complete and may not occur until the contracts are up for renewal over the next four years.  For more information, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Company— The profitability of our Mortgage Production segment has been adversely affected by the increased mix of fee-based closings originated under our existing private label client contracts.  We are currently evaluating a number of alternatives to restructure these contracts to improve the economics of the underlying contractual relationships; however there can be no assurances that we will be successful in these efforts.” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

We are continuing to reengineer our fixed cost structure within our support and overhead functions; however, we do not believe that re-engineering our fixed cost structure alone will be sufficient to achieve our return objectives in this portion of the mortgage market cycle.  In addition to focusing on our cost structure, we will continue to seek to enhance the scale of our private label and real estate mortgage production platforms through either organic or inorganic means.

 

Liquidity and Cash Position

 

We believe that we continue to have a strong liquidity position relative to our capital needs and our upcoming debt maturities.  During the first quarter of 2014, we executed a new funding structure for our mortgage servicing advances, and we sold a small amount of MSRs pursuant to our agreement with an affiliate of Two Harbors Investment Corp.  These efforts, combined with our ongoing exploration of funding alternatives for MSRs, should help us migrate to a less capital intensive, fee-for-service business model that is less dependent upon the unsecured debt markets.

 

We continue to maintain an excess unrestricted cash position to fund certain known or expected payments, to fund our working capital needs and to maintain cash reserves for contingencies.  The following is a summary of certain key items that we considered in our analysis of cash needs as of March 31, 2014:

 

§                  A minimum of $250 million for the repayment of Convertible notes that are due in the third quarter of 2014;

 

§                  $200 million for identified contingencies, including amounts related to mortgage loan repurchases and legal and regulatory matters;

 

§                  $50 million to $75 million cash reserves for mortgage-related interest rate risk management activities; and

 

§                  $200 million to $250 million minimum for working capital needs.

Our unrestricted cash balance includes $94 million available for use in variable interest entities and $107 million held for use in Canada by subsidiaries of our Fleet Management Services segment.  We believe our current liquidity position provides us with flexibility in our capital planning objectives.

 

We expect the mortgage production environment to be challenging throughout 2014, driven by declining industry originations and the potential for margin compression resulting from increased competitive pressures.  These challenges, combined with the pricing levels of our private label client contracts, as discussed above, could produce negative cash flow for our overall mortgage business in 2014 as a result of increased cash consumption in the Mortgage Production segment.  There continues to be inherent uncertainty regarding the future levels of our excess capital above key cash requirements due to the anticipated negative cash flows in our mortgage business.

 

Legal and Regulatory Environment

 

Consistent with other companies in the mortgage industry, we have experienced inquiries, examinations and requests for information from regulators and attorneys general of certain states as well as various government agencies.  In addition, we are working diligently in assessing and understanding the implications of the developments in the regulatory environment, and we are devoting substantial resources towards implementing all of the new rules and responding to inquiries, examinations, and proceedings, while meeting the needs and expectations of our clients. We expect the higher legislative and regulatory focus on mortgage origination and servicing practices to continue to result in higher legal, compliance, and servicing related costs, potential regulatory fines and penalties, and we could experience an increase in mortgage origination or servicing related litigation in the future.  Although our probable losses, payments and costs related to these matters have not been material to date, the ultimate resolution of any particular matter could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for the period in which such matter is resolved.  For more information, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our CompanyOur Mortgage businesses are complex and heavily regulated, and the full impact of regulatory developments to our businesses remains uncertain. In addition, we are subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, inquiries and proceedings and we may incur fines, penalties, and increased costs that could negatively impact our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows or damage our reputation. “ in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

In January 2014, the CFPB initiated an administrative proceeding alleging that our reinsurance activities have violated certain provisions of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.  We believe that we have complied with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws applicable to our former mortgage reinsurance activities, and we intend to vigorously defend against the CFPB’s allegations.  We cannot estimate the amount of loss or a range of possible losses, if any, associated with this matter, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not result in losses, fines or penalties which could be material to our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

We are monitoring increases in litigation and settlements among our peers in the mortgage industry around servicing practices for lender-placed insurance, also called “forced-placed insurance”.   We are currently subject to pending litigation alleging that our servicing practices around lender-placed insurance were not in compliance with applicable laws.  Through our mortgage servicing subsidiary, we did have certain outsourcing arrangements for the purchase of lender-placed hazard insurance for borrowers whose coverage had lapsed.  We believe we have meritorious defenses to these allegations; however, the resolution of such matter may result in adverse judgments, other relief against us, as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations, any of which may be material to our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Segment profit (loss) is described in Note 16, “Segment Information”, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The results of operations for reportable segments are reported on a pre-tax basis and are discussed in more detail in the following sections.  We record our interim tax provisions or benefits by applying a projected full-year effective income tax rate to our quarterly pre-tax income or loss for results that we deem to be reliably estimable.  Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are considered to not be reliably estimable, and therefore we record discrete year-to-date income tax provisions on those results.  Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were (37.4)% and 33.3%, respectively.  See Note 10, “Income Taxes” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Mortgage Production Segment

 

Elevated interest rates compared to historic lows continue to negatively affect loan margins and loan origination volumes. A variety of other factors also continue to affect the industry, including an increasingly complex regulatory compliance environment and changes to mortgage backed security programs, including increases in guarantee fees.  Future conforming loan origination volumes and loan margins may be negatively impacted by higher interest rates and increases in guarantee fees.

 

We believe the origination environment during 2014 will be characterized by a decline in total industry origination volumes and a greater proportion of purchase originations driven by lower refinance originations.  According to Fannie Mae’s Economic and Housing Outlook, the industry experienced a 54% decline in total loan originations during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year, consisting of a 70% decrease in refinancing activity and an 11% decrease in purchase activity.  Our refinance closings were down 63% compared to the prior year which was driven by lower overall consumer demand from higher interest rates and a 61% decline in HARP closings.  Retail closings represented 94% of our total closings during the first quarter of 2014 and we experienced a 14% increase in purchase closings compared to the first quarter of 2013.  On a full year basis, Fannie Mae’s Economic and Housing Outlook is forecasting industry loan originations for 2014 to decline to $1.1 trillion compared to $1.9 trillion during 2013, consisting of a 65% decline in refinancing originations and a 1% decrease in purchase closings.  Fannie Mae is also projecting that purchase originations will represent 63% of the mortgage industry volumes for the full year 2014 and that total home sales will be consistent with what the industry experienced during 2013.

 

During 2013, we observed a shift in the mix of our originations to a greater percentage of fee-based closings which has continued into the first quarter of 2014.  The amount of fee-based closings is impacted by the mortgage product and loan programs our PLS clients market to their customers, as well as the amount of mortgage loans our clients want to retain on their balance sheets.  Fee-based closings represented 65% and 41% of our total origination volume during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.  See “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Company—The profitability of our Mortgage Production segment has been adversely affected by the increased mix of fee-based closings originated under our existing private label client contracts.  We are currently evaluating a number of alternatives to restructure these contracts to improve the economics of the underlying contractual relationships; however there can be no assurances that we will be successful in these efforts.” in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.

First Quarter 2014 Compared With First Quarter 2013:  Mortgage Production segment loss was $60 million during 2014, compared to a segment profit of $45 million during the prior year.  Net revenues decreased to $82 million, down $170 million, or 67%, compared with the prior year driven by lower refinance closings, an increased mix of fee-based closings and lower loan margins and economic hedge results.  Total expenses decreased to $144 million, down $51 million, or 26%, compared with the first quarter of 2013 primarily driven by lower salaries and related expenses and production expenses resulting from a decrease in origination volumes.  Total expenses compared to the first quarter of 2013 also included a decrease in operating costs related to customer service, professional and outsourcing fees.

 

Net revenues.  Mortgage fees decreased to $47 million, down $32 million, or 41%, from the prior year.  A 48% decline in total retail closing units from lower refinance closings contributed to a $17 million decrease in application fees, appraisal income and other underwriting income.  In addition, we experienced a $13 million decrease in origination assistance fees from our PLS channel resulting from a 50% decline in PLS closing units compared to the prior year.  Gain on mortgage loans, net was $136 million lower compared to the first quarter of 2013 driven by a $105 million decline in gain on loans related to a 65% decrease in IRLCs expected to close and an 81 basis points decline in average total loan margins, coupled with a $34 million decrease in economic hedge results.  Consistent with our expectations, the decrease in IRLCs expected to close and average total loan margins was attributable to lower consumer demand for refinancing activity and an increased mix of fee-based production (where we do not enter into an IRLC).  The decline in economic hedge results compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average outstanding balance of IRLCs expected to close which resulted in a lower impact from pullthrough assumptions and lower execution gains on mortgage loans sold.

 

Total expensesDuring the second half of 2013, we announced actions to reduce headcount in response to projected declines in industry origination volumes which primarily drove a $13 million, or 18%, decline in Salaries, benefits and incentives compared to the prior year.  Commissions were down $13 million, or 46%, compared to 2013 primarily driven by a 49% decrease in real estate channel closings.  The lower overall closing and application volumes in 2014 also resulted in a decrease in contract labor and overtime and production-related direct expenses.  Other expenses decreased to $14 million, down $10 million, or 42%, compared to the first quarter of 2013.  We continued to improve our operating execution and benefited from a combined $6 million decline in customer service related expenses and outsourcing fees compared to the prior year.  The remaining $4 million decrease in Other expenses primarily related to nonrecurring professional fees incurred in 2013 for risk management costs and the realization of other corporate cost reduction initiatives.  See “—Other” for a discussion of the methodology of corporate overhead allocations.

Following are descriptions of the contents and drivers of the financial results of the Mortgage Production segment:

 

Mortgage fees consist of fee income earned on all loan originations, including loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings.  Retail closings and fee-based closings are key drivers of Mortgage fees.  Fee income consists of amounts earned related to application and underwriting fees and fees on cancelled loans.  Fee income also consists of amounts earned from financial institutions related to brokered loan fees and origination assistance fees resulting from our private-label mortgage outsourcing activities.

 

Gain on mortgage loans, net includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on our mortgage loans, as well as the changes in fair value of our IRLCs and loan-related derivatives.  The fair value of our IRLCs is based upon the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, adjusted for: (i) the estimated costs to complete and originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in a closed mortgage loan.

 

Gain on loans is primarily driven by the volume of IRLCs expected to close, total loan margins and the mix of wholesale/correspondent closing volume.  For wholesale/correspondent closings and certain retail closings from our private label clients, the cost to acquire the loan reduces the gain from selling the loan into the secondary market.  Change in fair value of Scratch and Dent and certain non-conforming mortgage loans is primarily driven by additions, sales and changes in value of Scratch and Dent loans, which represent loans with origination flaws or performance issues.  Economic hedge results represent the change in value of mortgage loans, interest rate lock commitments and related derivatives, including the impact of changes in actual pullthrough as compared to our initial assumptions.

 

Salaries and related expenses consist of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and incentives paid to employees in our mortgage production operations and commissions paid to employees involved in the loan origination process.  Commissions for employees involved in the loan origination process are primarily driven by the volume of retail closings.  Closings from our real estate channel have higher commission rates than private label closings.

 

Other operating expenses consist of production-related direct expenses, allocations for corporate overhead and other production related expenses.  Production-related direct expenses represent variable costs directly related to the volume of loan originations and consist of appraisal, underwriting and other direct loan origination expenses and are primarily driven by the volume of applications.

Mortgage Servicing Segment

 

 

Our servicing operations continue to be negatively impacted by conditions in the housing market and general economic factors, including higher unemployment rates, which have led to elevated levels of delinquencies, increases in repurchase and indemnification requests and high loss severities on defaulted loans.  These factors, plus the increased regulatory focus on servicing activities, have increased, and will likely continue to increase, servicing costs across the industry.

 

Although we believe the Agencies have substantially completed their reviews of loan files from pre-2009 vintages, repurchase and indemnification requests from all investors and insurers have been volatile in recent periods.  There continues to be inherent uncertainty around recent repurchase and indemnification request trends, as well as uncertainty around the full impact of the new representation and warranty framework for conventional loans sold or delivered after January 1, 2013.  See “—Risk Management” for additional information regarding loan repurchase and indemnification trends and our related reserves.

First Quarter 2014 Compared With First Quarter 2013:  Mortgage Servicing segment loss was $29 million during 2014, compared to a segment profit of $18 million during the prior year.  Net revenues decreased to $29 million, down $56 million, or 66%, compared with the prior year driven by unfavorable MSR market-related fair value adjustments resulting from a decrease in mortgage interest rates during the first quarter of 2014 that was partially offset by net gains on MSRs derivatives and lower prepayment activity.  Total expenses decreased to $58 million, down $9 million, or 13%, compared with the prior year primarily driven by lower repurchase and foreclosure-related charges that were partially offset by higher salaries and related expenses associated with the increased subservicing portfolio and an increase in corporate overhead allocations.

 

Net revenues.  Servicing fees from our capitalized portfolio decreased by $8 million, or 8% compared to the first quarter of 2013 driven by an 8% decrease in the average capitalized loan servicing portfolio.  Lower refinancing activity in 2014 resulted in a 70% decrease in payoffs in our capitalized loan servicing portfolio, which drove a $10 million, or 77%, decrease in curtailment interest paid to investors and a $45 million decrease in MSR valuation changes from actual prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans.  Our MSR replenishment rate declined during the first quarter of 2014 and, although loan payoffs decreased during 2014, the weighted average servicing fee on new loan production was lower.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, market-related fair value adjustments decreased the value of our MSRs by $45 million compared to an increase in value of $82 million in the first quarter of 2013 driven largely by changes in the interest rate environment during each period.  The primary mortgage rate used to value our MSRs decreased by 13 basis points during the first quarter of 2014 compared to an increase of 31 basis points during the first quarter of 2013.  These changes in interest rates also drove net gains on MSR derivatives of $6 million during 2014, compared to a net loss of $16 million during the first quarter of 2013.

 

Loan servicing income for 2014 includes a positive impact from the assumption of a subservicing portfolio with an unpaid principal balance of $47 billion in the second quarter of 2013.  Subservicing fees were $13 million during the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $8 million resulting from the increase in the average number of loans in our subserviced portfolio and an increase in the average subservicing fee earned per loan.  We expect the trends in subservicing to continue in 2014, consistent with our strategy to position the mortgage business to be less capital intensive, and have more fee-based revenue streams.

Total expenses.  During 2013, the Agencies worked towards the Federal Housing and Finance Administration’s goal to be complete with all pre-2009 repurchase and indemnification requests by December 31, 2013.  This expectation was included in our estimated reserve for repurchase and foreclosure-related losses at the end of 2013, and our experience related to loan repurchase volumes and claim appeal success rate during the first quarter of 2014 was consistent with those assumptions.  As a result, our repurchase and foreclosure-related charges were not significant in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $15 million during the prior year.  The $15 million of repurchase and foreclosure-related charges during the first quarter of 2013 reflected the continued elevated level of total requests, reduced government insurance claims proceeds and an increase in estimated loss severities during that period.

 

Salaries and related expenses increased by $4 million compared to the prior year which was driven by an increase in the average number of permanent employees from the transfer of certain employees into our servicing operations when we commenced subservicing activities on the portfolio that was assumed in the second quarter of 2013.  Other expenses decreased by $3 million in 2014, or 9%, primarily due to lower unreimbursed interest costs from servicing delinquent and foreclosed government loans and a decrease in compensatory fees related to foreclosure proceedings.  See “—Other” for a discussion of the methodology of corporate overhead allocations.

Table of Contents

 

Following are descriptions of the contents and drivers of the financial results of the Mortgage Servicing segment:

 

Loan servicing income is primarily driven by the average capitalized loan servicing portfolio and the average servicing fee.  Servicing fees from the capitalized portfolio is driven by recurring servicing fees that are recognized upon receipt of the coupon payment from the borrower and recorded net of guarantee fees due to the investor.  For loans that are subserviced, we receive a nominal stated amount per loan which is less than our average servicing fee related to the capitalized portfolio.  Curtailment interest paid to investors represents uncollected interest from the borrower that is required to be passed onto investors and is primarily driven by the number of loan payoffs.  Net reinsurance income or loss represents premiums earned on reinsurance contracts, net of ceding commission and provisions for reinsurance reserves.

 

Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights include actual prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans, actual receipts of recurring cash flows and market-related fair value adjustments.  The fair value of our MSRs is estimated based upon projections of expected future cash flows considering prepayment estimates, our historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility, servicing costs and other economic factors.  Generally, the value of our MSRs is expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates decline due to the effect those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates.  Other factors noted above as well as the overall market demand for MSRs may also affect the valuation.

 

Actual prepayments are driven by two factors: (i) the number of loans that prepaid during the period and (ii) the current value of the mortgage servicing right asset at the time of prepayment.  Market-related fair value adjustments represent the change in fair value of MSRs due to changes in market inputs and assumptions used in the valuation model.

 

Other operating expenses consist of repurchase and foreclosure-related charges, allocations for corporate overhead and other servicing related expenses.  Repurchase and foreclosure-related charges are primarily driven by the actual and projected volumes of repurchase and indemnification requests, our success rate in appealing repurchase requests and expected loss severities.  Expected loss severities are impacted by various economic factors including delinquency rates and home price values while our success rate in appealing repurchase requests can fluctuate based on the validity and composition of repurchase demands and the underlying quality of the loan files.

 

Other expenses are primarily costs directly associated with servicing loans in foreclosure and real estate owned, professional fees and outsourcing fees.

Fleet Management Services Segment

 

 

The fleet management industry has continued to be influenced by the current condition of the U.S. economy and the levels of corporate spending and capital investment which has resulted in corporate cost-reduction initiatives, increasing fleet operating costs, including increasing vehicle acquisition costs, maintenance costs and fuel prices.  In recent years, the mix of our net investment in leases has changed to include more truck and service-type vehicles that have a higher initial capitalized cost, which has offset declines in our leased units.  Growth in our Fleet Management Services segment is driven principally by increased market share in fleets greater than 75 units and increased fee-based services.

First Quarter 2014 Compared With First Quarter 2013:  Fleet Management Services segment profit was $21 million for 2014, the same level as the prior year.  Net revenues increased to $406 million, up $12 million, or 3%, compared with the prior year driven primarily by higher operating lease syndication revenue that was offset by lower leasing revenue.  Total expenses increased to $385 million, up $12 million, or 3%, compared with the first quarter of 2013 driven primarily by higher cost of goods sold related to operating lease syndication volume that was partially offset by lower Fleet interest expense and lower Depreciation on operating leases.

Table of Contents

 

Net revenues.  Throughout 2013, we continued our focus on less capital intensive revenue streams and growth in our service unit counts.  The first quarter of 2014 reflects a continuation of these trends with increases in our average maintenance service, fuel card and accident management unit counts compared to the first quarter of 2013, while the average number of leased vehicles declined by 2% compared to the prior year.  An increase in service only unit counts and client participation in driver safety training services primarily drove a 2% increase in Fleet management fees compared to the first quarter of 2013.  Leasing revenue declined to $328 million, down 1%, from the prior year primarily driven by lower average leased vehicle counts and a decrease in the interest rate billed for leases.  Despite lower average leased vehicle counts, our per unit depreciation component for the cost of vehicles was slightly higher compared to the first quarter of 2013 as a result of a continued mix shift to more expensive truck and service-type vehicles.  The amount of gross proceeds related to operating lease syndications was $15 million during 2014 and gross proceeds during the first quarter of 2013 were not significant.

 

Total expenses.  Fleet interest expense decreased to $13 million, down $3 million, or 19%, from the prior year driven by a lower cost of funds rate from new debt issuances that was partially offset by a higher average volume of borrowings.  The unit decline and mix of our leased vehicles described above resulted in a $2 million decrease in Depreciation on operating leases compared to the prior year.  Other operating expenses increased by $15 million compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to a $14 million increase in cost of goods sold associated with higher operating lease syndication volume.

Table of Contents

 

Following are descriptions of the contents and drivers of the financial results of the Fleet Management Services segment:

 

Fleet management fees consists of revenue related to our principal fee- and asset-based products including maintenance services, accident management services, fuel cards, driver safety training services fees, monthly management fees for leased vehicles and other asset management services.  The drivers of Fleet management fees are leased vehicles and service unit counts as well as the usage of fee- and asset-based services.

 

Fleet lease income consists of leasing revenue related to operating and direct financing leases as well as the gross sales proceeds associated with our operating lease syndications.  Leasing revenue related to operating leases consists of an interest component for the funding cost inherent in the lease as well as a depreciation component for the cost of the vehicles under lease.  Leasing revenue related to direct financing leases consists of an interest component for the funding cost inherent in the lease.  We originate certain leases with the intention of syndicating to banks and other financial institutions, which includes the sale of the underlying assets and assignment of any rights to the leases. Upon the transfer and assignment of operating leases that qualify for sales treatment, we record the gross proceeds from the sale within Fleet lease income.

 

Other income primarily consists of gross sales proceeds from our owned vehicle dealerships, the net gain or loss from the sale of used vehicles and other ancillary revenues.

 

Depreciation on operating leases is the depreciation expense associated with vehicles under operating leases included in Net investment in fleet leases.

 

Fleet interest expense is primarily driven by the average volume and cost of funds rate of outstanding borrowings and consists of interest expense associated with borrowings related to leased vehicles, changes in market values of interest rate derivative contracts related to vehicle asset-backed debt and amortization of deferred financing fees.

 

Other operating expenses consist of cost of goods sold, allocations for corporate overhead and other expenses.  Cost of goods sold represents the acquisition cost of vehicles at our dealerships and the carrying value of certain operating leases syndicated to banks and other financial institutions.

 

Other expenses include costs related to driver safety training services, vehicles equipped with onboard technology, professional fees and other expenses related to managing our fleet services.

First Quarter 2014 Compared With First Quarter 2013:  Total expenses before corporate allocations increased to $43 million, up $6 million, or 16%, compared with the prior year driven by an increase in professional and consulting fees that was offset by lower salaries and related expenses.

 

Total expenses.  During the second half of 2013, we initiated arrangements for outsourcing internal audit and information technology.  As a result, professional and consulting fees increased by $10 million during 2014, or 125%, primarily driven by costs related to the outsourcing arrangements for internal audit and technology infrastructure management and application development which were not in effect during the first quarter of 2013.  Professional and consulting fees for the first quarter of 2014 also reflect certain costs related to exploring a separation or sale of our fleet business, our mortgage business, or both of our businesses and include costs for advisors we have retained to assist in this matter.  Salaries and related expenses decreased by $4 million in 2014, or 20% driven by a decline in the average number of permanent employees related to the outsourcing arrangements described above, and severance costs incurred in 2013 associated with the separation of certain executives.

(1)       In 2014, we evaluated the overhead allocation to our segments based upon current revenues, expenses, headcount and usage which resulted in an increase in the rate of allocation to our Mortgage Servicing segment with a corresponding decrease to our Mortgage Production segment.

 

Following are descriptions of the contents and drivers of our financial results:

 

Net revenues represent income that is not allocated to the reportable segments and intersegment eliminations.

 

Salaries and related expenses represent costs associated with operating corporate functions and our centralized management platform and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and incentives paid to shared service support employees.  These expenses are primarily driven by the average number of permanent employees.

 

Corporate overhead allocation to each segment is determined based upon the actual and estimated usage by function or expense category.

RISK MANAGEMENT

 

 

We are exposed to various business risks which may significantly impact our financial results including, but not limited to: (i) interest rate risk; (ii) consumer credit risk; (iii) commercial credit risk; (iv) counterparty and concentration risk; (v) liquidity risk; and (vi) foreign exchange risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

 

Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.  Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain variable rate borrowings including our mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt, vehicle management asset-backed debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that such interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.

 

Refer to “—Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of 25 bps, 50 bps and 100 bps changes in interest rates on the valuation of assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates.

 

Consumer Credit Risk

 

 

Our exposures to consumer credit risk include:

 

§                  Loan repurchase and indemnification obligations from breaches of representation and warranty provisions of our loan sales or servicing agreements, which may result in indemnification payments or exposure to loan defaults and foreclosures; and

 

§                  A decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights as a result of increases in involuntary prepayments from increasing portfolio delinquencies.

 

Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications

 

Repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations and on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and real estate owned.  The liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications represents management’s estimate of probable losses based on the best information available and requires the application of a significant level of judgment and the use of a number of assumptions.  These assumptions include the estimated amount and timing of repurchase and indemnification requests, the expected success rate of defending against requests, estimated insurance claim proceeds and denials and estimated loss severities on repurchases and indemnifications.  The liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications does not reflect losses from litigation or governmental and regulatory examinations, investigations or inquiries.

In recent years, we have experienced elevated levels of mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification requests as the Agencies focused on completing their reviews of loans for pre-2009 origination years.  We believe the Agencies substantially completed their reviews of loans originated prior to 2009 by December 31, 2013 and the number of repurchase and indemnification requests we experienced in the first quarter of 2014 was consistent with this expectation.   The unpaid principal balance of our unresolved requests for loans originated between 2005 and 2008 has declined to $72 million as of March 31, 2014, from $143 million at the end of 2013.  We expect these trends in the composition of our unresolved requests to continue in 2014 as the remaining pre-2009 origination year requests are resolved.  See Note 11, “Credit Risk”, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves.

 

Actual losses incurred in connection with loan repurchases and indemnifications could vary significantly from and exceed the recorded liability and we may be required to increase our loan repurchase and indemnification liability in the future.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual losses or estimates of reasonably possible losses associated with loan repurchases and indemnifications will not be in excess of the recorded liability or that we will not be required to increase the recorded liability in the future.

 

Given the inherent uncertainties involved in estimating losses associated with future repurchase and indemnification requests, there is a reasonable possibility that future losses may be in excess of the recorded liability.  As of March 31, 2014, the estimated amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the recorded liability was $25 million which relates to our estimate of repurchase and foreclosure-related charges that may not be reimbursed pursuant to government mortgage insurance programs in the event we do not file insurance claims.  The estimate is based on our expectation of future defaults and the historical defect rate for government insured loans.  Our estimate of reasonably possible losses does not represent probable losses and is based upon significant judgments and assumptions which can be influenced by many factors, including: (i) home prices and the levels of home equity; (ii) the quality of our underwriting procedures; (iii) borrower delinquency and default patterns; and (iv) general economic conditions.

Claim pending status represents loans that have completed the review process where we have agreed with the representation and warranty breach and are pending final execution.

(2)

Appealed status represents loans that have completed the review process where we have disagreed with the representation and warranty breach and are pending response from the claimant. Based on claims received and appealed during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 that have been resolved, we were successful in refuting approximately 90% of claims appealed.

(3)

Open to review status represents loans where we have not completed our review process. We appealed approximately 65% of claims received and reviewed during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014.

(4)

Investors may make repurchase demands based on unresolved mortgage insurance rescission notices. In these cases, the total unresolved requests balance includes certain loans that are currently subject to both an outstanding repurchase demand and an unresolved mortgage insurance rescission notice.

 

Commercial Credit Risk

 

We are exposed to commercial credit risk for our clients under the lease and service agreements of our Fleet Management Services segment. We manage such risk through an evaluation of the financial position and creditworthiness of the client, which is performed on at least an annual basis. The lease agreements generally allow us to refuse any additional orders; however, the obligation remains for all leased vehicle units under contract at that time. The fleet management service agreements can generally be terminated upon 30 days written notice.

 

Counterparty and Concentration Risk

 

We are exposed to risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to various agreements, derivative contracts, and sales transactions. In general, we manage such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of counterparties, monitoring the amount for which we are at risk, requiring collateral, typically cash, in instances in which financing is provided and/or dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties.

 

We manage our exposure to risk from derivative counterparties through entering into bilateral collateral agreements and legally enforceable master netting agreements with many counterparties.  As of March 31, 2014, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or group of counterparties with respect to our derivative transactions.

 

Concentrations of credit risk associated with receivables are considered minimal due to our diverse client base. With the exception of the financing provided to customers of our mortgage business, we do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We manage our liquidity and capital structure to fund growth in assets, to fund business operations and to meet contractual obligations, including maturities of our indebtedness. In developing our liquidity plan, we consider how our needs may be impacted by various factors including maximum liquidity requirements during the period, fluctuations in assets and liability levels due to changes in business operations, upcoming debt maturities, levels of interest rates and working capital needs. We also assess market conditions and capacity for debt issuance in various markets we access to fund our business needs.  Our primary operating funding needs arise from the origination and financing of mortgage loans, the purchase and funding of vehicles under management and the retention of mortgage servicing rights. Our liquidity needs can also be significantly influenced by changes in interest rates due to collateral posting requirements from derivative agreements as well as the levels of repurchase and indemnification requests.

 

Our sources of liquidity include: unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents; committed and uncommitted credit facilities; cash flows from assets under management; proceeds from the sale or securitization of mortgage loans and lease assets; secured borrowings, including the asset-backed debt markets; cash flows from operations (including service fee and lease revenues); the unsecured debt markets; and equity capital (including retained earnings).  During the first quarter of 2014, we executed a new funding structure for our mortgage servicing advances, and we sold a small amount of MSRs pursuant to our agreement with an affiliate of Two Harbors Investment Corp.  We have also continued to evaluate our capacity needs to fund mortgage loans and vehicles under management.  During the first quarter of 2014, at our election, we reduced the capacity for certain facilities in response to the current mortgage environment, and to better utilize unrestricted cash and reduce expenses associated with the facilities.

 

Given our expectation for business volumes we believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

Cash Flows

 

We continue to maintain an excess unrestricted cash position to fund certain known or expected payments, to fund our working capital needs and to maintain cash reserves for contingencies.  The following is a summary of certain key items that we considered in our analysis of cash needs as of March 31, 2014:

 

§                  A minimum of $250 million for the repayment of Convertible notes that are due in the third quarter of 2014;

 

§                  $200 million for identified contingencies, including amounts related to mortgage loan repurchases and legal and regulatory matters;

 

§                  $50 million to $75 million cash reserves for mortgage-related interest rate risk management activities; and

 

§                  $200 million to $250 million minimum for working capital needs.

 

Our unrestricted cash balance includes $94 million available for use in variable interest entities and $107 million held for use in Canada by subsidiaries of our Fleet Management Services segment.  We believe our current liquidity position provides us with flexibility in our capital planning objectives.

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows from operating activities reflect the net cash generated or used in our business operations and can be significantly impacted by the timing of mortgage loan originations and sales.  In addition to depreciation and amortization, the operating results of our reportable segments are impacted by the following significant non-cash activities:

 

§                  Mortgage Production — Capitalization of mortgage servicing rights

 

§                  Mortgage Servicing — Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights

 

§                  Fleet Management Services — Depreciation on operating leases

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash provided by our operating activities was $471 million.  This is primarily reflective of $278 million of net cash provided by the volume of mortgage loan sales in our Mortgage Production segment as loans sold exceeded loans closed to be sold.  Cash provided by operating activities was further driven by positive cash flows from our Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services segments.

 

The net cash provided by the operating activities of our Mortgage Production segment resulted from a $229 million decrease in Mortgage loans held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets between March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which was the result of lower origination volumes, an increased mix of fee-based closings and timing differences between origination and sale as of the end of each period.  The decrease in Mortgage loans held for sale also resulted in a decrease in Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt, as further described in Financing Activities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $833 million.  This is primarily reflective of $661 million of net cash provided by the volume of mortgage loan sales in our Mortgage Production segment. Cash provided by operating activities was further driven by positive cash flows from our Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services segments.

 

Investing Activities

 

Our cash flows from investing activities include cash outflows for purchases of vehicle inventory, net of cash inflows for sales of vehicles within the Fleet Management Services segment as well as changes in the funding requirements of restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments for all of our business segments.  Cash flows related to the acquisition and sale of vehicles fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of the underlying transactions.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash used in our investing activities was $395 million, which primarily consisted of $306 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and sale of vehicles and a $104 million net increase in Restricted cash primarily due to a $58 million increase related to a new servicing advance facility and a $40 million increase due to the overcollateralization for fleet securitizations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash used in our investing activities was $379 million, which primarily consisted of $370 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and sale of vehicles and $21 million of cash paid on derivative agreements related to our Mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by a $22 million net decrease in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily due to the release of $10 million of restricted cash related to the FLRT 2010-1 Notes which were repaid during 2013.

 

Financing Activities

 

Our cash flows from financing activities include proceeds from and payments on borrowings under our vehicle management asset-backed debt, mortgage asset-backed debt and unsecured debt facilities.  The fluctuations in the amount of borrowings within each period are due to working capital needs and the funding requirements for assets supported by our secured and unsecured debt, including Net investment in fleet leases, Mortgage loans held for sale and Mortgage servicing rights.  As of the end of each quarter, our financing activities and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect our efforts to maximize secured borrowings against the available

 

56



Table of Contents

 

asset base, increasing the ending cash balance.  Within each quarter, excess available cash is utilized to fund assets rather than using the Mortgage and Vehicle asset-backed borrowing arrangements, given the relative borrowing costs and returns on invested cash.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash used in our financing activities was $162 million which related to $154 million of net payments on secured borrowings resulting primarily from the decreased funding requirements for Mortgage loans held for sale described in operating activities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash used in our financing activities was $356 million and related to $338 million of net payments on secured borrowings resulting primarily from the decreased funding requirements for Mortgage loans held for sale.

 

 

Debt

 

We utilize both secured and unsecured debt as key components of our financing strategy.  Our primary financing needs arise from our assets under management programs which are summarized in the table below:

Asset-backed debt is used primarily to support our investments in vehicle management and mortgage assets, and is secured by collateral which includes certain Mortgage loans held for sale, Net investment in fleet leases, Accounts receivable and Restricted cash.  The outstanding balances under the asset-backed debt facilities vary daily based on our current funding needs for eligible collateral and our decisions regarding the use of excess available cash to fund assets.  In addition, amounts undrawn and available under our revolving credit facilities can be utilized to supplement asset-backed facilities and provide for the funding of vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, as well as the funding of mortgage originations.

During the revolving period, the monthly collection of lease payments allocable to each outstanding series creates availability to fund the acquisition of vehicles and/or equipment to be leased to customers. Upon expiration, the revolving period of the related series of notes ends and the repayment of principal commences, amortizing monthly with the allocation of lease payments until the notes are paid in full.

Secured Canadian Credit Facility

 

During the first quarter of 2014, the Secured Canadian credit facility was amended to decrease the committed revolving capacity from $118 million (C$125 million) to $23 million (C$25 million). As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under the Secured Canadian credit facility.

 

Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt

 

Mortgage asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate mortgage repurchase facilities to support the origination of mortgage loans.  Mortgage repurchase facilities, also called warehouse lines of credit, are one component of our funding strategy, and they provide creditors a collateralized interest in specific mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the terms of the facility during the warehouse period.  The source of repayment of the facilities is typically from the sale or securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage market.  We utilize both committed and uncommitted warehouse facilities and we evaluate our capacity needs under these facilities based on forecasted volume of mortgage loan closings and sales.

 

Our funding strategies for mortgage originations may also include the use of committed and uncommitted mortgage gestation facilities.  Gestation facilities effectively finance mortgage loans that are eligible for sale to an agency prior to the issuance of the related mortgage-backed security.

Capacity amount shown reflect the contractual maximum capacity of the facilities. As of March 31, 2014, the total available capacity of these facilities is $26 million, after applying the applicable borrowing base coverage ratio tests.

 

The Convertible notes due 2014 met the requirements for conversion as of March 1, 2014, and holders of the notes may convert all or any portion of the notes, at their option.  As of March 31, 2014, the amount that the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes was not material.  The 2014 notes currently may only be settled in cash upon conversion because we have not sought shareholder approval, as required by the New York Stock Exchange, to allow for the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock that will, or will upon issuance, equal or exceed 20% of outstanding shares.

 

The Convertible notes due 2017 met the requirements for conversion as of March 31, 2014, and holders of the notes may convert all or any portion of the notes, at their option.  As of March 31, 2014, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes by $255 million.  Upon conversion, the principal amount of the converted notes would be payable in cash, and we would pay or deliver the conversion premium  (at our election) in: (i) cash; (ii) shares of Common stock; or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common stock.

volatility and regulatory/legal risks inherent in the mortgage industry.  As of April 29, 2014, our Ratings Outlook from Standard & Poors was Negative and our Ratings Watch from Fitch was Evolving.

 

Our senior unsecured long-term debt credit ratings are below investment grade, and as a result, our access to the public debt markets may be severely limited in comparison to the ability of investment grade issuers to access such markets.

 

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, may not reflect all of the risks associated with an investment in our debt securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

 

See further discussion at “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Company—We are exploring ways to maximize shareholder value through the sale or separation of our fleet business, our mortgage business, or both such businesses.  There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with pursuing such exploratory activities and/or consummating one or more such transactions.  These risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse impact on our businesses generally, including our client, employee, lender, vendor and counterparty relationships, as well as our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial position., and Our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings are below investment grade and, as a result, we may be limited in our ability to obtain or renew financing on economically viable terms or at all.” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

Debt Covenants

 

Certain debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain other affirmative and negative covenants, termination events, and other restrictions, including, but not limited to, covenants relating to material adverse changes, consolidated net worth, liquidity, profitability, available borrowing capacity maintenance, restrictions on indebtedness of our Company and our material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on certain types of payments, including dividends and stock repurchases. Certain other debt arrangements, including the Fannie Mae committed facility, contain provisions that permit us or our counterparty to terminate the arrangement upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

There were no significant amendments to the terms of debt covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt arrangements.

 

Under certain of our financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify us if they believe we have breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were to be given, we believe we would have various periods in which to cure certain of such events of default. If we do not cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods, the maturity of certain debt agreements could be accelerated and the ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition, an event of default or acceleration under certain agreements and instruments would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other agreements and instruments.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

There have not been any significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates described under “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.  Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain variable rate borrowings including our mortgage asset-backed debt, vehicle management asset-backed debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility.  We anticipate that such interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.

 

We used March 31, 2014 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.  The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves.  These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of March 31, 2014 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve:

Equity Price Risk

 

We also have exposure to equity price risk associated with our convertible debt. As of March 31, 2014, Convertible notes included: (i) $250 million of 4.0% Convertible notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2014; and (ii) $250 million of 6.0% Convertible notes with a maturity date of June 15, 2017.

 

The Convertible notes due in 2014 contain a conversion feature which allows holders to convert all or any portion of the notes upon the occurrence of certain triggering events prior to March 1, 2014 or at any time on or after March 1, 2014 at a conversion price of $25.805 per share.  Upon conversion, the Convertible notes due 2014 may only be settled in cash.  In connection with the offering of the notes, we entered into hedging transactions which were intended to reduce the potential dilution of our common stock upon conversion and effectively raise the conversion price to $34.74 per share.  As of March 31, 2014, the Convertible notes due 2014 met the requirements for conversion and the amount that the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes was not material.

 

The Convertible notes due in 2017 contain a conversion feature which allows holders to convert all or any portion of the notes at any time on or after December 15, 2016 or prior to December 15, 2016 upon the occurrence of certain triggering events at a conversion price of $12.79 per share.  Upon conversion, we will pay the principal portion in cash and the conversion option in cash or shares or a combination of cash or shares, at our election.  As of March 31, 2014, the Convertible notes due 2017 met the requirements for conversion, and the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the notes by $255 million or 9.874 million shares of our Common stock.  A 10% increase in our stock price from the closing price as of March 31, 2014 results in an increase in the required premium of $51 million, or 0.880 million shares.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
