TABLE OF CONTENTS
1
Except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, the Company, PHH,
we, our or us means PHH
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries.
During 2006, our former parent company, Cendant Corporation,
changed its name to Avis Budget Group, Inc. (see Note 27,
Subsequent Events in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005
(Form 10-K));
however, within this
Form 10-K,
PHHs former parent company, now known as Avis Budget
Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAR) is referred to as
Cendant.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Except with respect to our financial statements for periods
prior to the occurrence of such events, or unless the context
otherwise requires, the information presented in this
Form 10-K
describes our business as it existed following: (i) the
commencement of our operations as an independent, publicly
traded company pursuant to a spin-off (the Spin-Off)
from Cendant effective February 1, 2005; (ii) our
internal reorganization prior to the Spin-Off pursuant to which
Cendant contributed its former appraisal business, Speedy Title
and Appraisal Review Services LLC (STARS), an entity
previously under common control, to us, and our distribution of
our former relocation and fuel card businesses to Cendant;
(iii) the completion of the spin-off by Cendant of its real
estate services division, Realogy Corporation
(Realogy), into an independent, publicly traded
company (the Realogy Spin-Off) effective
July 31, 2006 (see Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Realogy for more information); and
(iv) the change in our reportable operating segments from
two segments, a Mortgage Services segment and a Fleet Management
Services segment, to three segments, a Mortgage Production
segment, a Mortgage Servicing segment and a Fleet Management
Services segment, effective December 31, 2005. As a result
of the change in our reportable operating segments, the
financial information for our former Mortgage Services segment
in our financial statements for periods prior to
December 31, 2005 have been restated to reflect the
separation of our Mortgage Services segment into a Mortgage
Production segment and a Mortgage Servicing segment. All prior
period segment information has been revised for comparability to
reflect our new segment presentation.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures
included in this
Form 10-K have
been updated to (i) reflect a reclassification of our
former relocation and fuel card businesses, which were
distributed to Cendant, as discontinued operations, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144); and (ii) include the
financial position and results of operations of STARS in our
Consolidated Financial Statements in continuing operations for
all periods presented and accounted for as a transfer of net
assets between entities under common control. As a result of the
changes to our business, the historical financial information
for periods prior to the Spin-Off is not necessarily indicative
of what our results of operations, financial position or cash
flows will be in the future.
In addition, we are restating our Consolidated Financial
Statements and related disclosures for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, as further discussed in
Note 2, Prior Period Adjustments in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K. Certain
of the restatement adjustments relate to entries we previously
believed were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), but
which were subsequently determined to be errors, or we had
concluded were immaterial errors to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in prior periods. Certain restatement adjustments
affecting our audited annual financial statements for periods
prior to December 31, 2003 have also been reflected in
Item 6. Selected Financial Data appearing
herein. Certain restatement adjustments also affected our
unaudited quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements for the
quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004,
September 30, 2004, March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005
and September 30, 2005 previously filed in our Quarterly
Reports on
Form 10-Q. These
restatement adjustments have been reflected in Note 26,
Selected Quarterly Financial Data
(unaudited) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K and,
with respect to the quarters ended March 31, 2005,
June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, will be
reflected in our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, respectively, which we plan to file
subsequent to the filing of this
Form 10-K. All
amounts in this
Form 10-K affected
by the restatement adjustments reflect such amounts as restated.
2
We have not amended our Annual Reports on
Form 10-K or our
Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for
periods affected by the restatement adjustments, and
accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related
financial information contained in such reports should not be
relied upon. Further, the audit reports of Deloitte &
Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm,
relating to our financial statements in those annual reports
similarly should not be relied upon.
The aggregate impact of all of the identified accounting
adjustments for corrections of errors on our balance sheet is an
increase of approximately $36 million in our
Stockholders equity at September 30, 2005, the date
of our last publicly reported financial statements. The
adjustments generally fall into the following categories:
adjustments in connection with (i) accounting for the
allocation of Goodwill and other intangible assets associated
with a 2001 business combination; (ii) exclusion of
mortgage reinsurance premiums within the capitalization of
mortgage servicing rights; (iii) accounting for the revenue
recognition of loans sold to a special purpose entity;
(iv) accounting for derivatives and hedging activity;
(v) the timing of recognition of motor company monies that
impact our basis in leased vehicles and the depreciation
methodologies applied to certain of our leased vehicles and
(vi) other miscellaneous errors. Additionally, adjustments
were also recorded for the income tax effect of the restatement
adjustments.
The net impact of the restatement on Net (loss) income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 and years prior to
December 31, 2003 and the restatement adjustments recorded
directly to Total stockholders equity accounts are set

A detailed description of the adjustment items and tables
showing the effects of the restatement adjustments are set forth
in Note 2, Prior Period Adjustments in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K.
We have also identified internal control deficiencies, and have
initiated the implementation of enhancements to our internal
control over financial reporting. We have begun to implement
these enhancements and intend to continue enhancing our internal
controls during the course of the year ending December 31,
2006 and beyond, which are designed to remediate the
deficiencies described in Managements Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting set forth in
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Management
has reviewed the internal control deficiencies with the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors, and has advised the Audit
Committee that certain of the control deficiencies constituted
material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-K
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and were
derived utilizing numerous important assumptions that may cause
our actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements.
Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include
the words believes, 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 are generally
forward-looking in nature and are not historical facts.
Forward-looking statements in this
Form 10-K include,
but are not limited to, the following: (i) the beliefs
regarding the increasing competition in the mortgage industry
and the contraction of margins and volumes in the industry and
our intention to take advantage of this environment by
leveraging our existing mortgage origination services platform
to enter into new outsourcing relationships; (ii) the
beliefs regarding our technology infrastructure; (iii) the
statements regarding our ability to replace the services
provided to us by Cendant under the transition services
agreement; (iv) the expectations regarding our access to
review and test controls around our outsourced information
technology services; (v) the expectation that any existing
legal claims or proceedings other than the several class actions
filed against us as discussed in this
Form 10-K will not
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows and our intent to vigorously
defend against the several class actions filed against us as
discussed in this
Form 10-K;
(vi) the beliefs that the restrictions under our loan
agreements will not materially limit our operations or our
ability to make dividend payments on our Common stock;
(vii) the expectation that our agreements and arrangements
with Cendant and Realogy will continue to be material to our
business; (viii) the expectations to continue to seek to
reduce our operating costs in our Mortgage Production and
Mortgage Servicing segments; (ix) the expectation that our
sources of liquidity are adequate to fund operations through the
end of 2007; (x) our anticipated levels of capital
expenditures for 2006; (xi) the expectation that our
interest cost in 2006 will increase significantly from the 2005
level; (xii) the expectations regarding the impact of the
adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our
financial statements; (xiii) the anticipated amounts of
amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the
next five fiscal years; (xiv) the anticipated amounts of
amortization expense for mortgage servicing rights for the next
five fiscal years; (xv) the expectation that our mortgage
loan originations from our Mortgage Production segment in the
year ended December 31, 2006 will be comprised of a similar
portion of mortgage loan originations arising out of our
arrangements with Realogy as during the year ended
December 31, 2005; (xvi) the expectation that any cash
payments that would be made for federal or state taxes in
connection with an adverse ruling by the IRS on the tax-free

concerning an increase in the capacity under our committed
mortgage repurchase facility; and (xviii) the belief that
we will be granted additional waivers extending the deadlines
for delivery of financial statements as required by certain of
our financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements.
The factors and assumptions discussed below and the risks and
uncertainties described in Item 1A.
Risk Factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in such forward-looking
statements:
|
|
|
|
|
the material weaknesses that we identified in our internal
control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures; |
|
|
|
the outcome of civil litigation pending against us, our
directors, Chief Executive Officer, and former Chief Financial
Officer and whether our indemnification obligations for such
directors and executive officers will be covered by our
directors and officers insurance; |
|
|
|
our ability to meet the extended deadlines for the delivery of
our quarterly financial statements under our waivers under
financing agreements and, if not, our ability to obtain
additional waivers under our |
5
|
|
|
|
|
financing agreements and to satisfy our obligations under
certain of our contractual and regulatory requirements for the
delivery of our quarterly financial statements; |
|
|
|
the effects of environmental, economic or political conditions
on the international, national or regional economy, the outbreak
or escalation of hostilities or terrorist attacks and the impact
thereof on our businesses; |
|
|
|
the effects of a decline in the volume or value of
U.S. home sales, due to adverse economic changes or
otherwise, on our mortgage services business; |
|
|
|
the effects of changes in current interest rates on our Mortgage
Production and Mortgage Servicing segments and on our financing
costs; |
|
|
|
the effects of changes in the interest rate option volatility,
spreads between mortgage rates and interest rate swaps and the
shape of the yield curve, particularly on the performance of our
pipeline and mortgage servicing rights hedges and our mortgage
servicing rights valuation; |
|
|
|
our ability to develop and implement operational, technological
and financial systems to manage growing operations and to
achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; |
|
|
|
the effects of competition in our existing and potential future
lines of business, including the impact of competition with
greater financial resources and broader product lines; |
|
|
|
our ability to quickly reduce overhead and infrastructure costs
in response to a reduction in revenue; |
|
|
|
our ability to implement fully integrated disaster recovery
technology solutions in the event of a disaster; |
|
|
|
our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance
our growth strategy, to operate within the limitations imposed
by financing arrangements and to maintain our credit ratings; |
|
|
|
our ability to establish and maintain a functional corporate
structure and to operate as an independent organization; |
|
|
|
our ability to maintain certain outsourced information
technology services by either engaging a new third-party service
provider or extending our transition services agreement and
entering into our own independent relationship with the existing
third-party service provider; |
|
|
|
our ability to implement changes to our internal control over
financial reporting in order to remediate identified material
weaknesses and other control deficiencies; |
|
|
|
our ability to maintain our relationships with our existing
clients; |
|
|
|
a deterioration in the performance of assets held as collateral
for secured borrowings, a downgrade in our credit ratings below
investment grade or any failure to comply with certain financial
covenants could negatively impact our access to the secondary
market for mortgage loans and our ability to act as servicer for
mortgage loans sold into the secondary market; and |
|
|
|
changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting
standards, mortgage- and real estate-related regulations and
state, federal and foreign tax laws. |
Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also
involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements,
and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well
as other factors may also cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Most of these factors are
difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our
control.
The factors and assumptions discussed 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, to report events or to report the
occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. 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.

PART I
History
Prior to February 1, 2005, we were a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant Corporation (renamed Avis Budget Group,
Inc.) (Cendant) that provided homeowners with
mortgages, serviced mortgage loans, facilitated employee
relocations and provided vehicle fleet management and fuel card
services to commercial clients. On February 1, 2005, we
began operating as an independent, publicly traded company
pursuant to our spin-off (the Spin-Off). In
connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into several contracts
with Cendant and its real estate services division to provide
for the separation of our business from Cendant and the
continuation of certain business arrangements with
Cendants real estate services division, including a
separation agreement, a tax sharing agreement, a transition
services agreement, a strategic relationship agreement, a
marketing agreement, trademark license agreements and the
operating agreement for PHH Home Loans, LLC (together with its
subsidiaries, PHH Home Loans or the Mortgage
Venture). Cendant spun-off its real estate services
division, Realogy, including its relocation subsidiary, Cartus
Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, Cartus)
(formerly known as Cendant Mobility Services Corporation
(Cendant Mobility)) into an independent, publicly
traded company (the Realogy Spin-Off) effective
July 31, 2006. (See Arrangements with
Cendant and Arrangements with
Realogy for more information.)
Prior to our Spin-Off, we underwent an internal reorganization
whereby we distributed our former relocation business, Cartus,
fuel card business, Wright Express LLC (together with its
subsidiaries, Wright Express), and other
subsidiaries that engaged in the relocation and fuel card
businesses to Cendant, and Cendant contributed its former
appraisal business, STARS, to us. Pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141,
Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141), Cendants
contribution of STARS to PHH was accounted for as a transfer of
net assets between entities under common control and, therefore,
the financial position and results of operations for STARS are
included in all periods presented. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 144, our financial position and results of
operations of our former relocation and fuel card businesses
have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for
all periods presented (see Note 25, Discontinued
Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K for more
information).
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 Corporation and its
subsidiaries (collectively, PHH Mortgage), which is
inclusive of PHH Home Loans. PHH Home Loans is a mortgage
venture, which began operations in October 2005 that we maintain
with Realogy. PHH Mortgage and PHH Home Loans both conduct
business throughout the United States. Our Mortgage Production
segment focuses on providing private label mortgage services to
financial institutions and real estate brokers.
Our Mortgage Servicing segment services mortgage loans that
either PHH Mortgage or PHH Home Loans originated or for which
PHH Mortgage purchased the mortgage servicing rights. Our
Mortgage Servicing segment also acts as subservicer for certain
clients that own the underlying contractual rights. Mortgage
loan servicing consists of collecting loan payments, remitting
principal and interest payments to investors, managing escrow
funds for payment of mortgage-related expenses and administering
our mortgage loan servicing portfolio.
Our Fleet Management Services segment provides commercial fleet
management services to corporate clients and government agencies
throughout the United States and Canada through our wholly owned
subsidiary, PHH Vehicle Management Services Group LLC,
doing business as PHH Arval (PHH Arval). PHH Arval
is a fully integrated provider of fleet management services with
a broad range of product offerings. These services include
management and leasing of vehicles and other fee-based services
for our clients vehicle fleets.

OUR BUSINESS
Our Segments
We changed the composition of our reportable business segments,
effective December 31, 2005, by separating the business
that was formerly called the Mortgage Services segment into two
operating segments, a Mortgage Production segment and a Mortgage
Servicing segment, which resulted in three business segments for
our business operations, a Mortgage Production segment, a
Mortgage Servicing segment and a Fleet Management Services
segment. As a result of the change in segments, the financial
information for our Mortgage Services segment in our
Consolidated Financial Statements for periods prior to
December 31, 2005 has been restated to reflect the
separation into a Mortgage Production segment and a Mortgage
Servicing segment.
Mortgage Production
Segment
Our Mortgage Production segment focuses on providing mortgage
services, including private label mortgage services, to
financial institutions and real estate brokers through PHH
Mortgage and PHH Home Loans, which conduct business throughout
the United States. Our Mortgage Production segment generated
approximately 21%, 29% and 56% of our Net revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
following table sets forth the Net revenues, segment profit or
loss (as described in Note 24, Segment
Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K) and

The Mortgage Production segment principally generates revenue
through fee-based mortgage loan origination services and sales
of originated and purchased mortgage loans into the secondary
market. PHH Mortgage generally sells all mortgage loans that it
originates to investors (which include a variety of
institutional investors) within 60 days of origination. For
the year ended December 31, 2005, PHH Mortgage was the
8th largest
retail originator of residential mortgages and the
17th largest
overall residential mortgage originator, according to Inside
Mortgage Finance. We are a leading outsource provider of
mortgage loan origination services to financial institutions and
the only mortgage company authorized to use Century 21,
Coldwell Banker, and ERA brand names in marketing our mortgage
loan products through the Mortgage Venture and other
arrangements that we
8
have with Realogy. See Arrangements with
Realogy Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH and Strategic Relationship
Agreement and Marketing
Agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we
originated mortgage loans for approximately 18% of the
transactions in which real estate brokerages owned by Realogy
represented the home buyer and approximately 4% of the
transactions in which real estate brokerages franchised by
Realogy represented the home buyer.
We originate mortgage loans through three principal business
channels: financial institutions (on a private label or
co-branded basis), real estate brokers (including brokers
associated with brokerages owned or franchised by Realogy and
third-party brokers) and relocation (mortgage services for
clients of Cartus).
|
|
|
|
|
Financial Institutions Channel: We are a leading provider
of private label mortgage loan originations for
financial institutions and other entities throughout the United
States. In this channel, we offer a complete outsourcing
solution, from processing applications through funding for
clients that wish to offer mortgage services to their customers,
but are not equipped to handle all aspects of the process
cost-effectively. Representative clients include Merrill Lynch
Credit Corporation (Merrill Lynch),
TD Banknorth, N.A. and Charles Schwab Bank. This channel
generated approximately 50%, 54% and 67% of our mortgage loan
originations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Approximately 24% of our mortgage loan
originations for the year ended December 31, 2005 were from
a single client, Merrill Lynch. (See
Arrangements with Merrill Lynch for more
information.) |
|
|
|
Real Estate Brokers Channel: We work with real estate
brokers to provide their customers with mortgage loans. Through
our affiliations with real estate brokers, we have access to
home buyers at the time of purchase. In this channel, we work
with brokers associated with NRT Incorporated, Realogys
owned real estate brokerage business (together with its
subsidiaries, NRT), brokers associated with
Realogys franchised brokerages (Realogy
franchisees) and brokers that are not affiliated with
Realogy (third-party brokers). Realogy has agreed
that the residential and commercial real estate brokerage
business owned and operated by NRT and the title and settlement
services business owned and operated by Title Research
Group LLC (formerly known as Cendant Settlement Services Group)
(together with its subsidiaries, TRG) will
exclusively recommend the Mortgage Venture as provider of
mortgage loans to (i) the independent sales associates
affiliated with Realogy Services Group LLC (formerly known as
Cendant Real Estate Services Group, LLC) and Realogy Services
Venture Partner Inc. (formerly known as Cendant Real Estate
Services Venture Partner, Inc.) (the Realogy Member
and together with Realogy Services Group LLC and their
respective subsidiaries, the Realogy Entities),
excluding the independent sales associates of any Realogy
franchisee acting in such capacity, (ii) all customers of
the Realogy Entities (excluding Realogy franchisees or any
employee or independent sales associate thereof acting in such
capacity), and (iii) all
U.S.-based employees of
Cendant. (See Arrangements with
Realogy Strategic Relationship Agreement for
more information.) In general, our capture rate of mortgages
where we are the exclusive recommended provider is much higher
than in other situations. For Realogy franchisees, Coldwell
Banker Real Estate Corporation, Century 21 Real Estate LLC, ERA
Franchise Systems, Inc. and Sothebys International
Affiliates, Inc. have each agreed to recommend exclusively PHH
Mortgage as provider of mortgage loans to their respective
independent sales associates. (See
Arrangements with Realogy
Marketing Agreements for more information.) Additionally,
for Realogy franchisees and third-party brokers, we endeavor to
enter into separate marketing service agreements
(MSAs) or other arrangements whereby we are the
exclusive recommended provider of mortgage loans to each
franchise or broker. We have entered into exclusive MSAs with
40% of Realogy franchisees as of December 31, 2005.
Following the Realogy Spin-Off, Realogy is a leading franchisor
of real estate brokerage services in the United States. In this
channel, we primarily operate on a private label basis,
incorporating the brand name associated with the real estate
broker, such as Coldwell Banker Mortgage, Century 21 Mortgage or
ERA Mortgage. This channel generated approximately 45%, 41% and
30% of our mortgage loan originations from our Mortgage
Production segment for the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively, substantially all of which was
originated from Realogy and the Realogy franchisees in 2005.
(See Arrangements with Realogy for more
information.) |

|
|
|
|
|
Relocation Channel: In this channel, we work with Cartus,
Realogys relocation business, to provide mortgage loans to
employees of Cartus clients. Cartus is the industry leader
of outsourced corporate relocation services in the United
States. This relocation channel generated approximately 5%, 5%
and 3% of our mortgage loan originations for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. All of our
mortgage loan originations from this channel were from Cartus.
(See Arrangements with Realogy for more
information.) |
Included in the Real Estate Brokers and Relocation Channels
described above is the Mortgage Venture that we have with
Realogy. The Mortgage Venture commenced operations in the
beginning of October 2005. At that time, we contributed assets
and transferred employees that have historically supported
originations from NRT and Cartus to the Mortgage Venture. The
provisions of the strategic relationship agreement govern the
manner in which the Mortgage Venture is recommended by Realogy.
See Arrangements with Realogy
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and PHH and
Strategic Relationship Agreement. The
Mortgage Venture originates and sells mortgage loans primarily
sourced through NRT and Cartus. All mortgage loans originated by
the Mortgage Venture are sold to PHH Mortgage or other
third-party investors. The Mortgage Venture does not hold any
mortgage loans for investment purposes or retain mortgage
servicing rights (MSRs) for any loans it originates.
We own 50.1% of the Mortgage Venture through our wholly owned
subsidiary, PHH Broker Partner Corporation (PHH
Member), and Realogy owns the remaining 49.9% through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Realogy Member. The Mortgage Venture is
consolidated within our financial statements, and Realogy
Members ownership interest in the Mortgage Venture is
reflected in our financial statements as a minority interest.
The Mortgage Venture did not materially impact our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. Subject to
certain regulatory and financial covenant requirements, net
income generated by the Mortgage Venture is distributed
quarterly to its members pro rata based upon their respective
ownership interests. The Mortgage Venture may also require
additional capital contributions from us and Realogy under the
terms of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement if required to
meet minimum regulatory capital and reserve requirements imposed
by any governmental authority or any creditor of the Mortgage
Venture or its subsidiaries. The termination of our Mortgage
Venture with Realogy or of our exclusivity arrangement for the
Mortgage Venture under the strategic relationship agreement
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and our results of operations. (See
Arrangements with Realogy Mortgage
Venture Between Realogy and PHH and
Strategic Relationship Agreement for
more information.)
Our mortgage loan origination channels are supported by three
distinct platforms:
|
|
|
|
|
Teleservices: We operate a teleservices operation (also
known as our Phone In, Move
In®
program) that provides centralized processing along with
consistent customer service. We utilize Phone In, Move In for
all three origination channels described above. We also maintain
multiple internet sites that provide online mortgage application
capabilities for our customers. |
|
|
|
Field Sales Professionals: Members of our field sales
force are generally located in real estate brokerage offices or
are affiliated with financial institution clients around the
United States, and are equipped to provide product information,
quote interest rates and help customers prepare mortgage
applications. Through our
MyChoicetm
program, mortgage advisors are assigned a dedicated territory
for marketing efforts and customers are provided with the option
of applying for mortgage loans over the telephone, in person or
online through the internet. |
|
|
|
Closed Mortgage Loan Purchases: We purchase closed
mortgage loans from community banks, credit unions and mortgage
brokers and mortgage bankers. We also acquire mortgage loans
from mortgage brokers that receive applications from and qualify
the borrowers. |

Appraisal Services Business |
Our Mortgage Production segment includes our appraisal services
business. In January 2005, Cendant contributed STARS, its
appraisal services business, to us. STARS provides appraisal
services utilizing a network of approximately 4,200 third-party
professional licensed appraisers offering local coverage
throughout the United States, and also provides credit
research, flood certification and tax services. The appraisal
services business is closely linked to the processes by which
our mortgage operations originate mortgage loans and derives
substantially all of its business from our various channels. The
results of operations and financial position of STARS are
included in our Mortgage Production segment for all periods
presented.
11
Mortgage Servicing
Segment
Our Mortgage Servicing segment consists of collecting loan
payments, remitting principal and interest payments to
investors, holding escrow funds for payment of mortgage-related
expenses such as taxes and insurance and otherwise administering
our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. We principally generate
revenue for our Mortgage Servicing segment through fees earned
for servicing mortgage loans held by investors. (See
Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies Revenue Recognition Mortgage
Servicing in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K for a
discussion of our Loan servicing income.) We also generate
revenue from reinsurance income from our wholly owned
subsidiary, Atrium Insurance Corporation (Atrium).
Our Mortgage Servicing segment generated approximately 10% and
5% of our Net revenues for the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The high amortization rate in 2003,
coupled with the provision for mortgage servicing right
impairment caused our Mortgage Servicing segment to generate
negative Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The following table sets forth the Net revenues, segment profit
or loss (as described in Note 24, Segment
Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K) and
Assets for our Mortgage Servicing segment for each of the years

PHH Mortgage typically retains the mortgage servicing rights
(MSR or MSRs) on the mortgage loans that
it sells. An MSR is the right to receive a portion of the
interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagor for
performing specified mortgage servicing activities, as described
above.

Mortgage Guaranty Reinsurance Business |
Our Mortgage Servicing segment also includes our reinsurance
business, which we conduct through Atrium, our wholly owned
subsidiary and a New York domiciled monoline mortgage guaranty
insurance corporation. Atrium does not write direct insurance
policies, but acts as a reinsurer of a portion of the ultimate
net losses on mortgage insurance policies underwritten by third
parties. Atrium receives premiums from certain third-party
insurance companies and provides reinsurance solely in respect
of primary mortgage insurance issued by those third-party
insurance companies on loans originated through our various loan
origination channels.
The principal factors for competition for our Mortgage
Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are service, quality,
products, and price. Competitive conditions also can be impacted
by shifts in consumer preference between variable-rate mortgages
and fixed-rate mortgages, depending on the interest rate
environment. In our Mortgage Production segment, we work with
our clients to develop new and competitive loan products that
address their specific customer needs. In our Mortgage Servicing
segment, we focus on customer service while working to enhance
the efficiency of our servicing platform. Excellent customer
service is also a critical component of our competitive strategy
to win new clients and maintain existing clients. Within every
process in our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing
segments, employees are trained to provide high levels of
13
customer service. We, along with our clients, consistently track
and monitor customer service levels and look for ways to improve
customer service.
According to Inside Mortgage Finance, PHH Mortgage was
the
8th largest
retail mortgage loan originator in the United States with a 3.3%
market share as of December 31, 2005 and the
10th largest
mortgage loan servicer with a 1.7% market share as of
December 31, 2005. Some of our largest competitors include
Countrywide Financial, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Washington
Mutual, Chase Home Finance, CitiMortgage, Bank of America, and
GMAC Mortgage Corporation. Many of our competitors are larger
than we are and have access to greater financial resources than
we do, which can place us at a competitive disadvantage.
We believe the mortgage industry will become increasingly
competitive in 2007 as industry and margins and volumes contract
due to higher interest rates. We intend to take advantage of
this environment by leveraging our existing mortgage origination
services platform to enter into new outsourcing relationships as
more companies determine that it is no longer economically
feasible to compete in the industry. See Our
Business Mortgage Production Segment for more
information.
We are party to a strategic relationship agreement dated as of
January 31, 2005, between PHH Mortgage, PHH Home Loans, PHH
Broker Partner Corporation, Realogy, Realogy Venture Partner and
Cendant, which, among other things, restricts us and our
affiliates, subject to limited exceptions, from engaging in
certain residential real estate services, including any business
conducted by the Cendant real estate services division (now
known as Realogy). The strategic relationship agreement also
provides that we will not directly or indirectly sell any
mortgage loans or mortgage loan servicing to certain competitors
in the residential real estate brokerage franchise businesses in
the United States (or any company affiliated with them). See
Arrangements with Realogy
Strategic Relationship Agreement below for more
information.
Our Mortgage Production segment is generally subject to seasonal
trends. These seasonal trends reflect the pattern in the
national housing market. Home sales typically rise during the
spring and summer seasons and decline during the fall and winter
seasons. Seasonality has less of an effect on mortgage
refinancing activity, which is primarily driven by prevailing
mortgage rates. Our Mortgage Servicing segment is generally not
subject to seasonal trends; however, delinquency rates typically
rise temporarily in the winter months, driven by the mortgagor
payment patterns.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property |
The trade names and related logos of our financial institutions
clients are material to our Mortgage Production and Mortgage
Servicing segments. Our financial institution clients license
the use of their names to us in connection with our private
label business. These trademark licenses generally run for the
duration of our origination services agreements with such
financial institution clients and facilitate the origination
services that we provide to them. Realogys brand names and
related items, such as logos and domain names, of its owned and
franchised residential real estate brokerages are material to
our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments. Realogy
licenses its real estate brands and related items, such as logos
and domain names, to us for use in our mortgage loan origination
services that we provide to Realogys owned real estate
brokerage, relocation and settlement services businesses. In
connection with the Spin-Off, TM Acquisition Corp., Coldwell
Banker Real Estate Corporation, ERA Franchise Systems, Inc. and
PHH Mortgage entered into a trademark license agreement pursuant
to which PHH Mortgage was granted a license to use certain of
Realogys real estate brand names and related items, such
as domain names, in connection with our mortgage loan
origination services on behalf of Realogys franchised real
estate brokerage business. PHH Mortgage was granted a license to
use brand names and related items, such as domain names, in
connection with Realogys real estate brokerage business
owned and operated by NRT, the relocation business owned and
operated by Cartus and the settlement services business owned
and operated by TRG; however this license terminated upon PHH
Home Loans commencing operations. PHH Home Loans is party to its
own trademark license agreement with TM Acquisition Corp.,
Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation and ERA Franchise
Systems, Inc. pursuant to which PHH Home Loans was granted a
license to use certain of Realogys real estate brand names
and related items, such as domain
14
names, in connection with our mortgage loan origination services
on behalf of Realogys owned real estate brokerage business
owned and operated by NRT, the relocation business owned and
operated by Cartus and the settlement services business owned
and operated by TRG. See Arrangements with
Realogy Trademark License Agreements for more
information about the trademark license agreements.
Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are
subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and
regulations and may be subject to various judicial and
administrative decisions imposing various requirements and
restrictions on our business. These laws, regulations and
judicial and administrative decisions to which our Mortgage
Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are subject include
those pertaining to real estate settlement procedures; fair
lending; fair credit reporting; truth in lending; compliance
with net worth and financial statement delivery requirements;
compliance with federal and state disclosure requirements; the
establishment of maximum interest rates, finance charges and
other charges; secured transactions; collection, foreclosure,
repossession and claims-handling procedures and other trade
practices; and privacy regulations providing for the use and
safeguarding of non-public personal financial information of
borrowers. By agreement with our financial institution clients,
we are required to comply with additional requirements that our
clients may be subject to through their regulators. The Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act requires us to disclose certain
information about the mortgage loans we originate and purchase,
such as the race and gender of our customers, the disposition of
mortgage applications, income levels and interest rate (i.e.
annual percentage rate) information. We believe that publication
of such information may lead to heightened scrutiny of all
mortgage lenders loan pricing and underwriting practices.
The federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
(RESPA) and state real estate brokerage laws
restrict the payment of fees or other consideration for the
referral of real estate settlement services. The establishment
of PHH Home Loans and the continuing relationships between and
among PHH Home Loans, Realogy and us are subject to the
anti-kickback requirements of RESPA. There can be no assurance
that more restrictive laws, rules and regulations will not be
adopted in the future or that existing laws, rules and
regulations will be applied in a manner that may adversely
impact our business or make regulatory compliance more difficult
or expensive.
Our wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Atrium Insurance
Corporation, is subject to insurance regulations in the State of
New York relating to, among other things, standards of solvency
that must be met and maintained; the licensing of insurers and
their agents; the nature of and limitations on investments;
premium rates; restrictions on the size of risks that may be
insured under a single policy; reserves and provisions for
unearned premiums, losses and other obligations; deposits of
securities for the benefit of policyholders; approval of policy
forms and the regulation of market conduct, including the use of
credit information in underwriting; as well as other
underwriting and claims practices. The New York State Insurance
Department also conducts periodic examinations and requires the
filing of annual and other reports relating to the financial
condition of companies and other matters.
As a result of our ownership of Atrium, we are subject to New
Yorks insurance holding company statute, as well as
certain other laws, which, among other things, limit
Atriums ability to declare and pay dividends except from
undivided profits remaining on hand above the aggregate of our
paid-in capital, paid-in surplus and contingency reserve.
Additionally, anyone seeking to acquire, directly or indirectly,
10% or more of Atriums outstanding common stock, or
otherwise proposing to engage in a transaction involving a
change in control of Atrium, will be required to obtain the
prior approval of the New York Superintendent of Insurance.
Fleet Management
Services Segment
We provide fleet management services to corporate clients and
government agencies through PHH Arval throughout the United
States and Canada. We are a fully integrated provider of these
services with a broad range of product offerings. We are the
second largest provider of outsourced commercial fleet
management services in the United States and Canada, combined,
according to a nationally recognized industry publication. We
focus on clients with fleets of greater than 500 vehicles (the
large fleet market) and clients with fleets of
between 75 and
15
500 vehicles (the national fleet market). Following
our acquisition of First Fleet Corporation (First
Fleet) on February 27, 2004, we enhanced our truck
fleet offering and are increasing our efforts to attract
customers in this market. As of December 31, 2005, we had
more than 329,000 vehicles leased, primarily consisting of cars
and light trucks and, to a lesser extent medium and heavy
trucks, trailers and equipment and approximately
294,000 additional vehicles serviced under fuel cards,
maintenance cards, accident management services arrangements
and/or similar arrangements. We purchase more than 80,000
vehicles annually. Our Fleet Management Services segment
generated 69%, 66% and 52% of our Net revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
following table sets forth the Net revenues, segment profit (as
described in Note 24, Segment Information in

We offer fully integrated services that provide solutions to
clients subject to their business objectives. We place an
emphasis on customer service and focus on a consultative
approach with our clients. Our employees support each client in
achieving the full benefits of outsourcing fleet management,
including lower costs and better operations. We offer
24-hour customer
service for the end-users of our products and services. We
believe we have developed an industry-leading technology
infrastructure. Our data warehousing, information management and
online systems provide clients access to customized reports to
better monitor and manage their corporate fleets.
We provide corporate clients and government agencies the
following services and products:
|
|
|
|
|
Fleet Leasing and Fleet Management Services. These
services include vehicle leasing, fleet policy analysis and
recommendations, benchmarking, vehicle recommendations, ordering
and purchasing vehicles, arranging for vehicle delivery and
administration of the title and registration process, as well as
tax and insurance requirements, pursuing warranty claims and
remarketing used vehicles. We also offer various leasing plans,
financed primarily through the issuance of floating-rate notes
and borrowings through an asset-backed structure. For the year
ended December 31, 2005, we averaged 325,000 leased
vehicles. Substantially all of the residual risk on the value of
the vehicle at the end of the lease term remains with the lessee
for approximately 97% of the vehicles financed by us in the
United States and Canada. These leases typically have a minimum
lease term of 12 months and can be continued after that at
the lessees election for successive monthly renewals. At
the appropriate replacement period, we typically sell the
vehicle into the secondary market and the client receives a
credit or pays the difference between the sale proceeds and the
book value. For the remaining 3% of the vehicles financed by us,
we retain the residual risk of the value of the vehicle at the
end of the lease term. We maintain rigorous standards with
respect to the creditworthiness of our clients. Net credit
losses as a percentage of the ending dollar amount of leases
have not exceeded 0.07% in any of the last three fiscal years.
During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 our
fleet leasing and fleet management servicing generated
approximately 95% of our revenues for our Fleet Management
Services segment in each year. |
|
|
|
Maintenance Services. We offer clients vehicle
maintenance service cards that are used to facilitate payment
for repairs and maintenance. We maintain an extensive network of
third-party service providers in the United States and Canada to
ensure ease of use by the clients drivers. The vehicle
maintenance service cards provide customers with the following
benefits: (i) negotiated discounts off of full retail
prices through our convenient supplier network, (ii) access
to our in-house team of certified maintenance experts that
monitor transactions for policy compliance, reasonability and
cost-effectiveness and (iii) inclusion of vehicle
maintenance transactions in a consolidated information and
billing database |
16
|
|
|
|
|
which assists clients with the evaluation of overall fleet
performance and costs. For the year ended December 31,
2005, we averaged 338,000 maintenance service cards outstanding
in the United States and Canada. We receive a fixed monthly fee
for these services from our clients as well as additional fees
from service providers in our third-party network for individual
maintenance services. |
|
|
|
Accident Management Services. We provide our clients with
comprehensive accident management services such as immediate
assistance upon receiving the initial accident report from the
driver (e.g., facilitating emergency towing services and car
rental assistance), an organized vehicle appraisal and repair
process through a network of third-party preferred repair and
body shops and coordination and negotiation of potential
accident claims. Our accident management services provide our
clients with the following benefits: (i) convenient,
coordinated 24-hour
assistance from our call center, (ii) access to our
relationships with the repair and body shops included in our
preferred supplier network, which typically provides clients
with favorable terms, and (iii) expertise of our damage
specialists, who ensure that vehicle appraisals and repairs are
appropriate, cost-efficient and in accordance with each
clients specific repair policy. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, we averaged 332,000 vehicles that were
participating in accident management programs with us in the
United States and Canada. We receive fees from our clients for
these services as well as additional fees from service providers
in our third-party network for individual incident services. |
|
|
|
Fuel Card Services. We provide our clients with fuel card
programs that facilitate the payment, monitoring and control of
fuel purchases through PHH Arval. Fuel is typically the single
largest fleet-related operating expense. By using our fuel
cards, our clients receive the following benefits: access to
more fuel brands and outlets than other private label corporate
fuel cards,
point-of-sale
processing technology for fuel card transactions that enhances
clients ability to monitor purchases and consolidated
billing and access to other information on fuel card
transactions, which assists clients with evaluation of overall
fleet performance and costs. Our fuel card offered through a
relationship with Wright Express in the U.S. and through a
proprietary card in Canada offers expanded fuel management
capabilities on one service card. For the year ending
December 31, 2005, we averaged 321,000 fuel cards
outstanding in the United States and Canada. We receive both
monthly fees from our fuel card clients and additional fees from
fuel providers. |

We lease vehicles to our clients under both open-end and
closed-end leases. The majority of our leases are to corporate
clients and are open-end leases, a form of lease in which the
customer bears substantially all of the vehicles residual
value risk.
Our open-end operating lease agreements generally provide for a
minimum lease term of 12 months. At any time after the end
of the minimum term, the client has the right to terminate the
lease for a particular vehicle. We typically then sell the
vehicle into the secondary market. If the net proceeds from the
sale are greater than the vehicles book value, the client
receives the difference. If the net proceeds from the sale are
less than the vehicles book value, the client pays us
substantially all of the difference. Closed-end leases, on the
other hand, are entered into for a designated term of 24,
36 or 48 months. At the end of the lease, the client
returns the vehicle to us. Except for excess wear and tear or
excess mileage, for which the client is required to reimburse
us, we then bear the risk of loss upon resale.
Open-end leases may be classified as operating leases or direct
financing leases depending upon the nature of the residual
guarantee. For operating leases, lease revenues, which contain a
depreciation component, an interest component and a management
fee component, are recognized over the lease term of the
vehicle, which encompasses the minimum lease term and the
month-to-month
renewals. For direct financing leases, lease revenues contain an
interest component and a management fee component. The interest
component is recognized using the effective interest method over
the lease term of the vehicle, which encompasses the minimum
lease term and the
month-to-month
renewals. Amounts charged to lessees for interest are determined
in accordance with the pricing supplement to the respective
lease agreement and are generally calculated on a floating-rate
basis that varies
month-to-month in
accordance with changes in the floating-rate index. Amounts
charged to lessees for interest may also be based on a fixed
rate that would remain constant for the life of the lease.
Amounts charged to lessees for depreciation are based on the
straight-line depreciation of the vehicle over its expected
lease term. Management fees are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the expected lease term. Revenue for other services
is recognized when such services are provided to the lessee.
We sell certain of our truck and equipment leases to third-party
banks and individual financial institutions. When we sell
leases, we sell the underlying assets and assign any rights to
the leases, including future leasing revenues, to the banks or
financial institutions.

|
Trademarks and Intellectual Property |
The service mark PHH and related trademarks and
logos are material to our Fleet Management Services segment. All
of the material marks used by us are registered (or have
applications pending for registration) with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. All of the material marks used by
us are also registered in Canada, and the PHH mark
and logo are registered (or have applications pending) in those
major countries where we have strategic partnerships with local
providers of fleet management services. Except for the Arval
mark, which we license from a third party so that we can do
business as PHH Arval, we own the material marks used by us in
our Fleet Management Services segment.
We differentiate ourselves from our competitors primarily on
three factors: the breadth of our product offering, customer
service and technology. Unlike certain of our competitors that
focus on selected elements of the fleet management process, we
offer fully integrated services. In this manner, we are able to
offer customized solutions to clients regardless of their needs.
We believe we have developed an industry-leading technology
infrastructure. Our data warehousing, information management and
online systems enable clients to download customized reports to
better monitor and manage their corporate fleets. Our
competitors in the United States and Canada include GE
Commercial Finance Fleet Services, Wheels Inc., Automotive
Resources International, Lease Plan International and other
local and regional competitors, including numerous competitors
who focus on one or two products. Certain of our competitors are
larger than we are and have access to greater financial
resources than we do.
18
The revenues generated by our Fleet Management Services segment
are generally not seasonal.

|
|
Commercial Fleet Leasing Regulation |
We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
including those relating to taxing and licensing of vehicles,
certain consumer credit and environmental protection. Our Fleet
Management Services segment could be liable for damages in
connection with motor vehicle accidents under the theory of
vicarious liability. Under this theory, companies that lease
motor vehicles may be subject to liability for the tortious acts
of their lessees, even in situations where the leasing company
has not been negligent. Our lease contracts require that each
lessee indemnify us against such liabilities; however, in the
event that a lessee lacks adequate insurance coverage or
financial resources to satisfy these indemnity provisions, we
could be liable for property damage or injuries caused by the
vehicles that we lease. A new federal law was enacted that
preempts state vicarious liability laws that impose unlimited
liability on vehicle lessors. This law, however, does not
preempt existing state laws that impose limited liability on a
vehicle lessor in the event that certain insurance or financial
responsibility requirements for the leased vehicles are not met.
The scope and application of this law have not been tested. (See
Item 1A. Risk Factors Risks Related to
our Business The businesses in which we engage are
complex and heavily regulated, and changes in the regulatory
environment affecting our businesses could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. for more information.)
Employees
As of December 31, 2005, we employed a total of
approximately 7,060 persons, including approximately 5,660
persons in our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing
segments, approximately 1,370 persons in our Fleet Management
Services segment and approximately 30 corporate employees. As of
September 30, 2006, we employed a total of approximately
6,700 persons, including approximately 5,260 persons in our
Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments,
approximately 1,400 in our Fleet Management Services segment and
approximately 40 corporate employees. Management considers our
employee relations to be satisfactory. As of September 30,
2006, none of our employees were covered under collective
bargaining agreements.
ARRANGEMENTS WITH CENDANT
Prior to February 1, 2005, we were a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant and provided homeowners with mortgages,
serviced mortgage loans, facilitated employee relocations and
provided vehicle fleet management and fuel card services to
commercial clients. On February 1, 2005, we began operating
as an independent, publicly traded company pursuant to the
Spin-Off. We entered into several contracts with Cendant in
connection with the Spin-Off to provide for our separation from
Cendant and the transition of our business as an independent
company, including a separation agreement, a tax sharing
agreement and a transition services agreement.
Separation
Agreement
In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Cendant entered into a
separation agreement that provided for our internal
reorganization whereby we distributed our former relocation
business and fuel card business to Cendant and Cendant
contributed its former appraisal business, STARS, to us. The
separation agreement also provided for the allocation of the
costs of the Spin-Off, the establishment of our pension, 401(k)
and retiree medical plans, our assumption of certain Cendant
stock options and restricted stock awards (as adjusted and
converted into awards relating to our common stock), our
assumption of certain pension obligations and certain other
provisions customary for agreements of its type.
Following the Spin-Off, the separation agreement requires us to
exchange information with Cendant, resolve disputes in a
particular manner, maintain the confidentiality of certain
information and preserve available legal privileges. The
separation agreement also provides for a mutual release of
claims by Cendant and us, indemnification rights between Cendant
and us and the non-solicitation of employees by Cendant and us.

|
|
Allocation of Costs and Expenses Related to the
Transaction |
Pursuant to the separation agreement, all
out-of-pocket fees and
expenses incurred by us or Cendant directly related to the
Spin-Off (other than taxes, which are allocated pursuant to the
amended and restated tax sharing agreement) are to be paid by
Cendant; provided, however, Cendant is not obligated to pay any
such expenses incurred by us unless such expenses have had the
prior written approval of an officer of Cendant. Additionally,
we are responsible for our own internal fees, costs and
expenses, such as salaries of personnel, incurred in connection
with the Spin-Off.
Under the separation agreement, we and Cendant release one
another from all liabilities that occurred, failed to occur or
were alleged to have occurred or failed to occur or any
conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the
date of the Spin-Off. The release of claims, however, does not
affect Cendants or our rights or obligations under the
separation agreement, the amended and restated tax sharing
agreement or the transition services agreement.
Pursuant to the separation agreement, we agree to indemnify
Cendant for any losses (other than losses relating to taxes,
indemnification for which is provided in the amended and
restated tax sharing agreement) that any party seeks to impose
upon Cendant or its affiliates that relate to, arise or result
from:
|
|
|
|
|
any of our liabilities, including, among other things: |
|
|
|
|
(i) |
all liabilities reflected in our pro forma balance sheet as of
September 30, 2004 or that would be, or should have been,
reflected in such balance sheet, |
|
|
(ii) |
all liabilities relating to our business whether before or after
the date of the Spin-Off, |
|
|
(iii) |
all liabilities that relate to, or arise from any performance
guaranty of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. in connection with
indebtedness issued by Chesapeake Funding LLC (which changed its
name to Chesapeake Finance Holdings LLC effective March 7,
2006), |
|
|
(iv) |
any liabilities relating to our or our affiliates
employees, and |
|
|
(v) |
all liabilities that are expressly allocated to us or our
affiliates, or which are not specifically assumed by Cendant or
any of its affiliates, pursuant to the separation agreement, the
amended and restated tax sharing agreement or the transition
services agreement; |
|
|
|
|
|
any breach by us or our affiliates of the separation agreement,
the amended and restated tax sharing agreement or the transition
services agreement (described below under
Transition Services Agreement); and |
|
|
|
any liabilities relating to information in the registration
statement on
Form 8-A filed
with the SEC on January 18, 2005 (the
Form 8-A),
the information statement (the Information
Statement) filed by us as an exhibit to our Current Report
on Form 8-K filed
on January 19, 2005 (the January 19, 2005
Form 8-K) or
the investor presentation (the Investor
Presentation) filed as an exhibit to the January 19,
2005 Form 8-K,
other than portions thereof provided by Cendant. |
Cendant is obligated to indemnify us for any losses (other than
losses relating to taxes, indemnification for which is provided
in the amended and restated tax sharing agreement described
below under Tax Sharing Agreement) that
any party seeks to impose upon us or our affiliates that relate
to:
|
|
|
|
|
any liabilities other than liabilities we have assumed or any
liabilities relating to the Cendant business; |
|
|
|
any breach by Cendant or its affiliates of the separation
agreement, the amended and restated tax sharing agreement or the
transition services agreement; and |
|
|
|
any liabilities relating to information in the
Form 8-A, the
Information Statement or the Investor Presentation provided by
Cendant. |
20
In addition, we and our pension plan have agreed to indemnify
Cendant and its pension plan, and Cendant and its pension plan
have agreed to indemnify us and our pension plan, with respect
to any liabilities involving eligible participants in our and
Cendants pension plans, respectively.
Tax Sharing
Agreement
In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Cendant entered into a
tax sharing agreement that contains provisions governing the
allocation of liability for taxes between Cendant and us,
indemnification for liability for taxes and responsibility for
preparing and filing tax returns and defending tax contests, as
well as other tax-related matters including the sharing of tax
information and cooperating with the preparation and filing of
tax returns. On December 21, 2005, we and Cendant entered
into an amended and restated tax sharing agreement which
clarifies that Cendant shall be responsible for tax liabilities
and potential tax benefits for certain tax returns and time
periods.
|
|
|
Allocation of Liability for Taxes |
Pursuant to the amended and restated tax sharing agreement,
Cendant is responsible for all federal, state and local income
taxes of or attributable to any affiliated or similar group
filing a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return of
which any of Cendant or its affiliates (other than us or our
subsidiaries) is the common parent for any taxable period
beginning on or before January 31, 2005, except, in certain
cases, for taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off or
transactions relating to the internal reorganization to qualify
as tax-free as described more fully below. Cendant is
responsible for all other income taxes and all non-income taxes
attributable to Cendant and its subsidiaries (other than us or
our subsidiaries), and, except, as noted below, for certain
separate income taxes attributable to years prior to 2004, which
are Cendants responsibility, we are responsible for all
other income taxes and all non-income taxes attributable to us
and our subsidiaries. As a result of the resolution of any tax
contingencies that relate to audit adjustments due to taxing
authorities review of prior income tax returns and any
effects of current year income tax returns, our tax basis in
certain of our assets may be adjusted in the future. We are
responsible for any corporate level taxes resulting from the
failure of the Spin-Off or transactions relating to the internal
reorganization to qualify as tax-free, which failure was the
result of our or our subsidiaries actions,
misrepresentations or omissions. We also are responsible for
13.7% of any corporate level taxes resulting from the failure of
the Spin-Off or transactions relating to the internal
reorganization to qualify as tax-free, which failure is not due
to the actions, misrepresentations or omissions of Cendant or us
or our respective subsidiaries. Such percentage was based on the
relative pro forma net book values of Cendant and us as of
September 30, 2004, without giving effect to any
adjustments to the book values of certain long-lived assets that
may be required as a result of the Spin-Off and the related
transactions. We have agreed to indemnify Cendant and its
subsidiaries and Cendant has agreed to indemnify us and our
subsidiaries for any taxes for which the other is responsible.
The amended and restated tax sharing agreement, dated as of
December 21, 2005, clarifies that Cendant is responsible
for separate state taxes on a significant number of our income
tax returns for years 2003 and prior. We will cooperate with
Cendant on any federal and state audits for these years, but
will not be responsible for any liabilities that may result from
such audits.
|
|
|
Preparing and Filing Tax Returns |
Cendant has the right and obligation to prepare and file all
consolidated, combined or unitary income tax returns with
respect to any affiliated or similar group of which any of
Cendant or its affiliates (other than us or our subsidiaries) is
the common parent beginning on or before January 31, 2005.
We are required to provide information and to cooperate with
Cendant in the preparation and filing of these tax returns. We
have the right and obligation to prepare and file all other
income tax returns and all non-income tax returns relating to us
and our subsidiaries.
21
Cendant has the right to control all administrative, regulatory
and judicial proceedings relating to federal, state and local
income taxes of or attributable to any affiliated or similar
group filing a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax
return of which any of Cendant or its affiliates (other than us
or our subsidiaries) is the common parent and all proceedings
relating to taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off or
transactions relating to the internal reorganization to qualify
as tax-free. We have the right to control all administrative,
regulatory and judicial proceedings relating to other income
taxes and non-income taxes attributable to us and our
subsidiaries.
If we become entitled to certain tax attributes or benefits
(related to the Avis merger agreement) subsequent to the
Spin-Off that relate to an audit adjustment for a consolidated,
combined, unitary or similar income tax return for a certain tax
year prior to the Spin-Off for which Cendant is responsible
under the amended and restated tax sharing agreement, we are
required to make payments to Cendant in respect of these tax
attributes or benefits if and to the extent that we actually
realize a tax benefit for a post Spin-Off taxable year (i.e.,
such tax attributes or benefits actually reduce the income taxes
that we otherwise would have been required to pay had no such
audit adjustment occurred). If we or our subsidiaries become
entitled to receive payments from the State of New Jersey that
are attributable to the New Jersey Business Employment Incentive
Program for taxable years (or portions thereof) ending on or
before the Spin-Off, we are required to pay such amounts (net of
certain expenses we have incurred in connection with
establishing entitlement to those amounts) to Cendant within
five days of receipt thereof.
Transition Services
Agreement
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a transition
services agreement with Cendant and Cendant Operations, Inc.
that governs certain continuing arrangements between us and
Cendant to provide for our orderly transition from a wholly
owned subsidiary to an independent, publicly traded company.
Pursuant to the transition services agreement, Cendant, through
its subsidiary Cendant Operations, Inc., provided us, and we
provided to Cendant, various services including services
relating to human resources and employee benefits, payroll,
financial systems management, treasury and cash management,
accounts payable services, external reporting,
telecommunications services and information technology services.
Prior to the Spin-Off,
Cendant provided these and other services to us and allocated
certain corporate costs to us which, in the aggregate, were
approximately $32 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. During 2005, we paid Cendant
$3 million for services related to corporate functions
under the transition services agreement. During 2005, we
increased our internal capabilities to reduce our reliance on
Cendant for these services. Additionally, we may continue to
purchase certain information technology services through Cendant
under their current contracts on terms consistent with our
historic cost from Cendant. The transition services agreement
also contains agreements relating to indemnification, access to
information and certain other provisions customary for
agreements of this type. We have the right to receive reasonable
information with respect to charges for transition services
provided by Cendant.
The cost of each transition service under the transition
services agreement generally reflects the same payment terms and
is calculated using the same cost-allocation methodologies for
the particular service as those associated with historic costs
for the equivalent services, and at a rate intended to
approximate an arms-length pricing negotiation as if there
were no pre-existing cost-allocation methodology; however, the
agreement was negotiated in the context of a parent-subsidiary
relationship and in the context of the Spin-Off. (See
Item 1A. Risk Factors Risks Related to
the Spin-Off Our agreements with Cendant and Realogy
may not reflect terms that would have resulted from
arms-length negotiations between unaffiliated
parties. for more information.) The transition services
agreement will expire January 31, 2007, unless otherwise
extended by us and Cendant. After the expiration of the
arrangements contained in the transition services agreement, we
may not be able to replace these services in a timely manner or
on terms and conditions, including cost, as favorable as those
we received from Cendant.
22
With respect to the outsourced information technology services
currently provided to us under the transition services
agreement, we are pursuing alternative arrangements, including
(i) extending the transition services agreement with
Cendant to provide for the continuation of the outsourced
information technology services and entering into our own
independent relationship with the existing third-party service
provider for these services; or (ii) engaging a new third
party to provide these services. While we believe we will be
able to implement either of these alternative arrangements in a
timely manner, there can be no assurances that this result will
occur. If we are unable to enter into either of these
alternative arrangements in a timely manner, it will likely have
a material and adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Prior to the Spin-Off, we provided Cendant and certain Cendant
affiliates, subsidiaries and business units with certain
information technology support, equipment and services at or
from our data center, and certain PC desktop support for
approximately 100 Cendant personnel, located at our facility in
Sparks, Maryland. During 2005, we provided these services to
Cendant and applicable affiliates, subsidiaries and business
units under the transition services agreement. Cendant
terminated the provision of these services as of January 1,
2006.
ARRANGEMENTS WITH REALOGY
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into several
contracts with Cendants real estate services division to
provide for the continuation of certain business arrangements,
including the operating agreement for PHH Home Loans, a
strategic relationship agreement, a marketing agreement, and two
trademark license agreements. Cendants real estate
services division, Realogy, became an independent, publicly
traded company pursuant to the Realogy Spin-Off effective
July 31, 2006. Following the Realogy Spin-Off, Realogy is a
leading franchisor of real estate brokerages, and the largest
owner and operator of residential real estate brokerages in the
U.S. and the largest U.S. provider of relocation services.
As a result of the Realogy Spin-Off, we have determined that
certain amendments to these agreements may be necessary or
appropriate. As of the filing date of this
Form 10-K, we have
not obtained these amendments. There can be no assurances that
we will be able to obtain any amendments we believe may be
necessary or appropriate or that if obtained that these
amendments will be on terms favorable to us.
Mortgage Venture
Between Realogy and PHH
Realogy, through its subsidiary Realogy Member, and we, through
our subsidiary, PHH Member, are parties to the Mortgage Venture
for the purpose of originating and selling mortgage loans
sourced through Realogys owned residential real estate
brokerage, corporate relocation and settlement services
businesses, NRT, Cartus and TRG, respectively. In connection
with the formation of the Mortgage Venture, we contributed
assets and transferred employees to the Mortgage Venture that
historically supported originations from NRT and Cartus. The
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement has a
50-year term, subject
to earlier termination as described below under
Termination or non-renewal by PHH Member
after 25 years subject to delivery of notice between
January 31, 2027 and January 31, 2028. In the event
that PHH Member does not deliver a non-renewal notice after the
25th year,
the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement will be renewed for an
additional 25-year term
subject to earlier termination as described below under
Termination.
The Mortgage Venture commenced operations in October 2005 and is
licensed, where applicable, to conduct loan origination, loan
sales and related operations in those jurisdictions in which it
is doing business. All mortgage loans originated by the Mortgage
Venture are sold to PHH Mortgage or to unaffiliated third-party
investors on arms-length terms. The Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement provides that the members of the Mortgage
Venture intend that at least 15% of the total number of all
mortgage loans originated by the Mortgage Venture be sold to
unaffiliated third-party investors. The Mortgage Venture does
not hold any mortgage loans for investment purposes or retain
MSRs for any loans it originates. As discussed under
Marketing Agreements, PHH Mortgage
entered into interim marketing agreements with NRT and Cartus
pursuant to which Cendant, NRT and Cartus agreed that PHH
Mortgage was the exclusive recommended provider of mortgage
products and services promoted by NRT to its independent
contractor sales associates and by Cartus to its customers and
clients. The interim marketing services agreements terminated
following commencement of the Mortgage
23
Venture. Thereafter, the provisions of the strategic
relationship agreement, as discussed in more detail below, began
to govern the manner in which the Mortgage Venture is
recommended.
|
|
|
Ownership and Distributions |
We own 50.1% of the Mortgage Venture through PHH Member, and
Realogy owns the remaining 49.9% of the Mortgage Venture,
through Realogy Member. The Mortgage Venture is consolidated
within our Consolidated Financial Statements, and for the year
ended December 31, 2005, Realogys ownership interest
in the Mortgage Venture is reflected in our Consolidated
Financial Statements as a minority interest. The Mortgage
Venture did not materially impact our results of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2005. Subject to certain
regulatory and financial covenant requirements, net income
generated by the Mortgage Venture is distributed quarterly to
its members pro rata based upon their respective ownership
interests. The Mortgage Venture may require additional capital
contributions from us and Realogy under the terms of the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement if it is required to meet
minimum regulatory capital and reserve requirements imposed by
any governmental authority or any creditor of the Mortgage
Venture or its subsidiaries.
We manage the Mortgage Venture through PHH Member with the
exception of certain specified actions that are subject to
approval by Realogy through the board of advisors. The Mortgage
Venture has a board of advisors consisting of representatives of
Realogy and PHH. The board of advisors has no managerial
authority, and its primary purpose is to provide a means for
Realogy to exercise its approval rights over those specified
actions of the Mortgage Venture for which Realogys
approval is required.
Pursuant to the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, Realogy
Member has the right to terminate the Mortgage Venture and the
strategic relationship agreement in the event of:
|
|
|
|
|
a Regulatory Event (defined below) continuing for six months or
more; provided that PHH Member may defer termination on account
of a Regulatory Event for up to six additional one-month periods
by paying Realogy Member a $1.0 million fee at the
beginning of each such one-month period; |
|
|
|
a change in control of us, PHH Member or any other affiliate of
ours involving certain competitors or other specified parties; |
|
|
|
a material breach, not cured within the requisite cure period,
by us, PHH Member or any other affiliate of ours of the
representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements
(discussed below) under any of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement, the strategic relationship agreement (described below
under Strategic Relationship Agreement),
the marketing agreement (described below under
Marketing Agreements), the trademark
license agreements (described below under
Trademark License Agreement), the
management services agreement (described below under
Management Services Agreement) and
certain other agreements entered into in connection with the
Spin-Off; |
|
|
|
the failure by the Mortgage Venture to make scheduled
distributions pursuant to the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement; |
|
|
|
the bankruptcy or insolvency of us or PHH Mortgage, or |
|
|
|
any act or omission by us or our subsidiaries that causes or
would reasonably be expected to cause material harm to Cendant
or any of its subsidiaries. |
As defined in the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, a
Regulatory Event is a situation in which
(i) PHH Mortgage or the Mortgage Venture becomes subject to
any regulatory order, or any governmental entity initiates a
proceeding with respect to PHH Mortgage or the Mortgage Venture,
and (ii) such regulatory order or proceeding prevents or
materially impairs the Mortgage Ventures ability to
originate loans for any period of time in a manner that
adversely affects the value of one or more quarterly
distributions to be paid by the Mortgage Venture pursuant to the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement; provided, however, that a
Regulatory Event
24
does not include (a) any order, directive or interpretation
or change in law, rule or regulation, in any such case that is
applicable generally to companies engaged in the mortgage
lending business such that PHH Mortgage or such affiliate or the
Mortgage Venture is unable to cure the resulting circumstances
described in (ii) above, or (b) any regulatory order
or proceeding that results solely from acts or omissions on the
part of Cendant or its affiliates.
The representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements
in the strategic relationship agreement, marketing agreement,
trademark license agreements and management services agreement
include, among others: (i) customary representations and
warranties made by us or our affiliated party to such
agreements, (ii) our confidentiality agreements in the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement and the strategic
relationship agreement with respect to Realogy information,
(iii) our obligations under the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement, (iv) our indemnification obligations under the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, the strategic relationship
agreement, and the trademark license agreements, (v) our
non-competition agreements in the strategic relationship
agreement and (vi) our termination assistance agreements in
the strategic relationship agreement in the event that the
Mortgage Venture is terminated.
Upon a termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement
by Realogy Member, Realogy Member will have the right either
(i) to require that PHH Mortgage or PHH Member purchase all
of its interest in the Mortgage Venture or (ii) to cause
PHH Member to sell its interest in the Mortgage Venture to an
unaffiliated third party designated by Realogy Member.
The exercise price at which PHH Mortgage or PHH Member would be
required to purchase Realogy Members interest in the
Mortgage Venture would be the sum of the following: (i) the
capital account balance for Realogy Members interest in
the Mortgage Venture as of the closing date of the purchase;
(ii) the aggregate amount of all past due quarterly
distributions to Realogy Member and any unpaid distribution in
respect of the most recently completed fiscal quarter as of the
closing date of the purchase; and (iii) any amount equal to
49.9% of the net income, if any, realized by the Mortgage
Venture at any time after the end of the fiscal quarter most
recently completed as of the closing date of the purchase
attributable to mortgage loans in process at any time prior to
the closing date of the purchase. The exercise price would also
include a liquidated damages payment equal to the sum of
(i) two times the Mortgage Ventures trailing twelve
months net income (except that, in the case of a termination by
Realogy Member following a change in control of us, PHH Member
or an affiliate of ours, PHH Member may be required to make a
cash payment to Realogy Member in an amount equal to its
allocable share of the Mortgage Ventures trailing twelve
months net income multiplied by (a) if the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement is terminated prior to its twelfth
anniversary, the number of years remaining in the first twelve
years of the term of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement,
or (b) if the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement is
terminated on or after its tenth anniversary, two years, and
(ii) all costs reasonably incurred by Cendant in unwinding
its relationship with us pursuant to the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement and the related agreements, including the
strategic relationship agreement, marketing agreement and
trademark license agreements.
The sale price at which PHH Member would be required to sell its
interest in the Mortgage Venture would be the sum of
(i) the fair value of the interests as of the closing date
of the sale, (ii) the aggregate amount of all past due
quarterly distributions to PHH Member and any unpaid
distribution in respect to the most recently completed fiscal
quarter as of the closing date of the sale, and (iii) any
amount equal to 50.1% of the net income, if any, realized by the
Mortgage Venture at any time after the end of the fiscal quarter
most recently completed as of the closing date of the sale
attributable to mortgage loans in process at any time prior to
the closing date of the sale. The fair value of the interests
would be equal to PHH Members proportionate share of the
Mortgage Ventures earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
twelve months prior to the closing date of the sale, multiplied
by a then-current average market EBITDA multiple for mortgage
banking companies.
Beginning on February 1, 2015, the tenth anniversary of the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, Realogy Member may
terminate the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement at any time
by giving two years
25
prior written notice to us (a two-year termination).
Upon a two-year termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement by Realogy Member, Realogy Member will have the option
either (i) to require that PHH Member purchase all of
Realogy Members interest in the Mortgage Venture or
(ii) to cause PHH Member to sell its interest in the
Mortgage Venture to an unaffiliated third party designated by
Realogy Member.
The exercise price at which PHH Member would be required to
purchase Realogy Members interest in the Mortgage Venture
would be the sum of the following: (i) the fair value of
Realogy Members interest in the Mortgage Venture as of the
closing date of the purchase; (ii) the aggregate amount of
all past due quarterly distributions to Realogy Member and any
unpaid distribution in respect of the most recently completed
fiscal quarter as of the closing date of the purchase; and
(iii) any amount equal to 49.9% of the net income realized
by the Mortgage Venture at any time after the end of the fiscal
quarter most recently completed as of the closing date of the
purchase attributable to mortgage loans in process at any time
prior to the closing date of the purchase. The fair value of
Realogy Members interest would be determined through
business valuation experts selected by each of the members.
These business valuation experts would then prepare two
valuations of the interest in the Mortgage Venture in light of
the relevant facts and circumstances, including the consequences
of the two-year termination and PHH Members purchase of
Realogy Members interest. In the event that the difference
between the two valuations is equal to or less than 10%, then
the average of the two valuations would be used as the fair
value of Realogy Members interest in the Mortgage Venture.
In the event that the difference between the two valuations is
greater than 10%, then the two business valuation experts would
select another business valuation expert to perform a third
valuation which would be used as the fair value of Realogy
Members interest in the Mortgage Venture.
The sale price at which PHH Member would be required to sell its
interest in the Mortgage Venture would be the sum of
(i) the fair value of PHH Members interests as of the
closing date of the sale, (ii) the aggregate amount of all
past due quarterly distributions to PHH Member and to any
affiliate and any unpaid distribution in respect of the most
recently completed fiscal quarter as of the closing date of the
sale, and (iii) any amount equal to 50.1% of the net
income, if any, realized by the Mortgage Venture at any time
after the end of the fiscal quarter most recently completed as
of the closing date of the sale attributable to mortgage loans
in process at any time prior to the closing date of the sale.
The fair value of PHH Members interests would be
determined in a similar manner as the fair value of Realogy
Members interest is determined above.
In the event that, as a result of any change in the law,
(i) any provision of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement or the related agreements (including the strategic
relationship agreement, marketing agreement and trademark
license agreements) is not compliant with applicable law, or
(ii) the financial terms of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement or any of the related agreements, taken as a whole,
become inconsistent with the then-current market, the members
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure our
business and to amend the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement
in a manner that complies with such law and, to the extent
possible, most closely reflects the original intention of the
members as to the economics of their relationship. In the case
of a law that renders the financial terms of the Mortgage
Venture Operating Agreement to become inconsistent with the
then-current market, Realogy Member may also request that PHH
Member and PHH Mortgage enter into good faith negotiations to
renegotiate the terms of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement within 30 days following the request. During such
30-day period, Realogy
Member may solicit proposals from PHH Member and other persons
for the provision of mortgage services substantially similar to
those provided under the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement
and the related agreements. If Realogy Member receives a
proposal from a third party that Realogy Member determines,
taken as a whole, is superior to PHH Members proposal,
then Realogy Member may elect to terminate the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement. Upon a termination of the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement by Realogy Member, PHH Member would be
required to purchase Realogy Members interest in the
Mortgage Venture at a price calculated in the same manner as the
price at which Realogy Member could cause PHH Member to purchase
its interest in the Mortgage Venture upon a two-year
termination. The closing of the purchase would be completed
within 90 days of the termination of the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement by Realogy Member.
26
PHH Member has the right to terminate the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement either upon a material breach, not cured
within the requisite cure period by Realogy Member of a material
provision of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement or the
related agreements, including the strategic relationship
agreement, marketing agreement and trademark license agreements,
or the bankruptcy or insolvency of Cendant. Upon a termination
of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement by PHH Member, PHH
Member has the right to purchase Realogy Members interest
in the Mortgage Venture at a price equal to the sum of the
following: (i) the fair value of Realogy Members
interest in the Mortgage Venture as of the date PHH Member
exercises its purchase right; (ii) the aggregate amount of
all past due quarterly distributions to Realogy Member and any
unpaid distribution in respect of the most recently completed
fiscal quarter as of the date PHH Member exercises its purchase
right; and (iii) any amount equal to 49.9% of net income
realized by the Mortgage Venture at any time after the end of
the fiscal quarter most recently completed as of the date PHH
Member exercises its purchase right attributable to mortgage
loans in process at any time prior to the date PHH Member
exercises its purchase right. The fair value of Realogy
Members interest would be equal to Realogy Members
proportionate share of the Mortgage Ventures trailing
twelve month EBITDA multiplied by a then-current average EBITDA
multiple for mortgage banking companies. PHH Members right
would be exercisable for two months following a termination
event by delivering written notice to Cendant. The closing of
the purchase would not be completed prior to the one year
anniversary of PHH Members exercise notice to Realogy
Member.
As discussed above, PHH Member may elect not to renew the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement for an additional
25-year term by
delivering a notice to Realogy Member between January 31,
2027 and January 31, 2028. Upon a non-renewal of the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement by PHH Member, PHH Member
has the right either (i) to purchase Realogy Members
interest in the Mortgage Venture at a price calculated in the
same manner as the price at which Realogy Member could cause PHH
Member to purchase its interest in the Mortgage Venture upon a
two-year termination; or (ii) to sell PHH Members
interest in the Mortgage Venture to an unaffiliated third party
designated by Realogy Member at a price calculated in the same
manner as the price at which Realogy Member could cause PHH
Member to sell its interest in the Mortgage Venture upon a
two-year termination. The closing of this transaction would not
be completed prior to January 31, 2030.

|
Effects of Termination or Non-Renewal |
Upon termination of the Mortgage Venture by Realogy Member or
PHH Member as described above, the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement and related agreements will terminate automatically
(excluding certain privacy, non-competition, venture-related
transition provisions and other general provisions, which shall
survive termination of such agreements), and Realogy Member and
its affiliates will be released from any restrictions under the
agreements entered into in connection with the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement (including the strategic relationship
agreement, marketing agreement, trademark license agreements and
management services agreement) that may restrict its ability to
pursue a partnership, joint venture or another arrangement with
any third-party mortgage operation.
Management Services
Agreement
PHH Mortgage operates under a management services agreement with
the Mortgage Venture pursuant to which PHH Mortgage provides
certain mortgage origination processing and administrative
services for the Mortgage Venture. The mortgage origination
processing services that PHH Mortgage provides the Mortgage
Venture includes seasonal call center staffing beyond the
Mortgage Ventures permanent staff, secondary mortgage
marketing, pricing and, for certain channels, underwriting,
credit scoring and document review. Administrative services that
PHH Mortgage provides the Mortgage Venture include payroll,
financial systems management, treasury, information technology
services, telecommunications services and human resources and
employee benefits services. In exchange for such services, the
Mortgage Venture pays PHH Mortgage a fee per service based upon
various bases, including a flat fee and cost per loan. The
management services agreement terminates automatically upon the
termination of the strategic relationship agreement.
27
Strategic Relationship
Agreement
We and Realogy are parties to a strategic relationship
agreement. The strategic relationship agreement contains
detailed covenants regarding the relationship of Realogy and us
with respect to the operation of the Mortgage Venture and its
origination channels, which are discussed below:
|
|
|
Exclusive Recommended Provider of Mortgage Loans |
Under the strategic relationship agreement, Realogy agreed that
the residential and commercial real estate brokerage business
owned and operated by NRT, the title and settlement services
business owned and operated by TRG, and the relocation business
owned and operated by Cartus will exclusively recommend the
Mortgage Venture as provider of mortgage loans to (i) the
independent sales associates affiliated with the Realogy
Entities (excluding the independent sales associates of any
Realogy franchisee acting in such capacity), (ii) all
customers of the Realogy Entities (excluding Realogy franchisees
or any employee or independent sales associate thereof acting in
such capacity), and (iii) all
U.S.-based employees of
Cendant. Realogy, however, is not required under the terms of
the strategic relationship agreement to condition doing business
with a customer on such customer obtaining a mortgage loan from
the Mortgage Venture or contacting or being contacted by the
Mortgage Venture. Realogy has the right to terminate the
exclusivity arrangement of the strategic relationship agreement
under certain circumstances, including (i) if we materially
breach any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement
contained in any of the agreements entered into in connection
with the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement (described
generally above under Mortgage Venture Between
Realogy and PHH Termination) and such breach
is not cured within the required cure period, and (ii) if a
Regulatory Event occurs and is not cured within the required
time period. In addition, if the Mortgage Venture is prohibited
by law, rule, regulation, order or other legal restriction from
performing its mortgage origination function in any
jurisdiction, and such prohibition has not been cured within the
applicable cure period, Realogy has the right to terminate
exclusivity in the affected jurisdiction.
|
|
|
Subsequent Mortgage Company Acquisitions |
If Realogy acquires or enters into an agreement to acquire,
directly or indirectly, a residential real estate brokerage
business that also directly or indirectly owns or conducts a
mortgage loan origination business, then we will work together
with Realogy and the Mortgage Venture to formulate a plan for
the sale of such mortgage loan origination business to the
Mortgage Venture pursuant to pricing perimeters specified in the
strategic relationship agreement. If the parties do not reach an
agreement with respect to the terms of the sale within
30 days after we or the Mortgage Venture receive notice of
the proposed acquisition, Realogy has the option either
(i) to sell the mortgage loan origination business to a
third party (provided that the Mortgage Venture has a right of
first refusal if the purchase price for the proposed sale to the
third party is less than a specified amount with respect to the
purchase price calculated under the formulas specified in the
strategic relationship agreement or, if no formula is
applicable, the price proposed by Realogy), or (ii) to
retain and operate the mortgage loan origination business of
such residential real estate brokerage business, and, in either
case, described under clauses (i) or (ii), at the option of
Realogy, under certain circumstances, the exclusivity provisions
described above will terminate with respect to each county in
which the mortgage loan origination business of such acquired
residential real estate brokerage conducts its operations. If
the parties reach agreement with respect to the terms of the
sale but the Mortgage Venture defaults on its obligation to
complete the sale transaction in a timely manner, the Mortgage
Venture is required to make a damages payment to Realogy within
30 days after the acquisition was scheduled to close. If
the damages payment is not made by such date, at the option of
Realogy, under certain circumstances, the exclusivity provisions
described above will terminate with respect to each county in
which the mortgage loan origination business of the acquired
residential real estate brokerage conducts its operations.
The strategic relationship agreement provides that, subject to
limited exceptions, we will not engage in (i) the title,
closing, escrow or search-related services for residential real
estate transactions and all other mortgage-related transactions
or provide any services or products which were otherwise offered
or provided by TRG as of January 31, 2005, (ii) the
residential real estate brokerage business, commercial real
estate brokerage
28
business or corporate relocation services business, or become or
operate as a broker, owner or franchisor in any such business,
or otherwise, directly or indirectly, assist or facilitate the
purchase or sale of residential or commercial real estate (other
than through STARS or through the Mortgage Ventures
origination and servicing of mortgage loans), or (iii) any
other business conducted by Realogy as of January 31, 2005.
Our non-competition covenant will survive for up to two years
following termination of the strategic relationship agreement.
To the extent that Realogy expands into new business and, at the
time of such expansion, we are engaged in the same business, we
will not be prohibited from continuing to conduct such business.
The strategic relationship agreement also provides that
(i) neither we nor our subsidiaries will directly or
indirectly sell any mortgage loans or mortgage servicing rights
to any of the 20 largest residential real estate brokerage firms
in the U.S. or any of the 10 largest residential real
estate brokerage franchisors in the U.S.; and (ii) neither
we nor our affiliates will knowingly solicit any such
competitors for mortgage loans other than through the Mortgage
Venture, as provided in the strategic relationship agreement and
the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement.
|
|
|
Other Exclusivity Arrangements |
The strategic relationship agreement also provides for
additional exclusivity arrangements with PHH, including the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
We will use Realogy Services Group LLC on all of our commercial
real estate transactions where a Realogy commercial real estate
agent is available. |
|
|
|
We will recommend TRG as the provider of title, closing, escrow
and search-related services, and |
|
|
|
We will utilize TRG on an exclusive basis whenever we have the
option to choose the title or escrow agent and TRG either
provides such services or receives compensation in connection
with such services in the applicable jurisdiction. |
Pursuant to the strategic relationship agreement, we have agreed
to indemnify Realogy for all losses arising out of or resulting
from (i) any violation or material breach by us of any
representation, warranty, or covenant in the agreement or
(ii) our negligent or willful misconduct in connection with
the agreement. We have also agreed to indemnify the Mortgage
Venture for all losses incurred or sustained by it (i) for
any damages paid by the Mortgage Venture in connection with an
acquisition of a mortgage loan origination business under the
strategic relationship agreement, or (ii) any interest paid
by the Mortgage Venture for any failure to make scheduled
distributions for any fiscal quarter pursuant to the Mortgage
Venture Operating Agreement. (See Subsequent
Mortgage Company Acquisitions and
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH Termination above for more information).
We guarantee all representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements and other obligations of our subsidiaries and
affiliates (other than the Mortgage Venture) in the full and
timely performance of their respective obligations under the
strategic relationship agreement and the other agreements
entered into in connection with the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement.
The strategic relationship agreement terminates upon termination
of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement. (See
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH Termination and Effects
of Termination or Non-Renewal for more information about
termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement.)
Following termination of the strategic relationship agreement,
we are required to provide certain transition services to
Realogy for up to one year following termination.
29
Trademark License
Agreement
PHH Mortgage, TM Acquisition Corp., Coldwell Banker Real Estate
Corporation and ERA Franchise Systems, Inc. are parties to a
trademark license agreement pursuant to which PHH Mortgage was
granted a license to use certain of Realogys real estate
brand names, trademarks and service marks and related items,
such as logos and domain names in its origination of mortgage
loans on behalf of customers of Realogys franchised real
estate brokerage business. PHH Mortgage also was granted a
license to use certain of Realogys real estate brand names
and related items in connection with its mortgage loan
origination services for Realogys real estate brokerage
business owned and operated by NRT, the relocation business
owned and operated by Cartus and the settlement services
business owned and operated by TRG; however, this license
terminated upon PHH Home Loans commencing operations. We pay a
fixed licensing fee to the licensors on a quarterly basis. PHH
Mortgage agreed to indemnify the licensors and their affiliates
for all damages from third-party claims directly or indirectly
arising out of our use of the licensed marks. The trademark
license agreement terminates upon the completion of either PHH
Members purchase of Realogy Members interest in PHH
Home Loans, or PHH Members sale of its interest in PHH
Home Loans, upon a termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement or the dissolution of PHH Home Loans. (See
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH Termination and Effects
of Termination or Non-Renewal for more information about
termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement.) PHH
Mortgage or the licensor may also terminate the trademark
license agreement for the other partys breach or default
of any material obligation under the trademark license agreement
that is not cured within 60 days after receipt of written
notice of the breach. Upon termination of the trademark license
agreement, PHH Mortgage loses all rights to use the licensed
marks and must destroy all materials containing or in any way
using the licensed marks.
PHH Home Loans is party to a trademark license agreement with TM
Acquisition Corp., Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation and
ERA Franchise Systems, Inc. pursuant to which PHH Home Loans was
granted a license to use certain of Realogys real estate
brand names, trademarks and service marks and related items,
such as domain names, in connection with its mortgage loan
origination services for Realogys real estate brokerage
business owned and operated by NRT, the relocation business
owned and operated by Cartus and the settlement services
business owned and operated by TRG. The license granted to PHH
Home Loans is royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-assignable,
non-transferable and non-sublicensable. PHH Home Loans agrees to
indemnify the licensors and their affiliates for all damages
from third-party claims directly or indirectly arising out of
PHH Home Loans use of the licensed marks. The trademark
license agreement terminates upon the completion of either PHH
Members purchase of Realogy Members interest in PHH
Home Loans, or PHH Members sale of its interests in PHH
Home Loans upon a termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement or the dissolution of PHH Home Loans. (See
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH Termination and Effects
of Termination or Non-Renewal for more information about
termination of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement.) PHH
Home Loans or the licensors may also terminate the trademark
license agreement for the other partys breach or default
of any material obligation under the trademark license agreement
that is not cured within 60 days after receipt of written
notice of the breach. Upon termination of the trademark license
agreement, PHH Home Loans loses all rights to use the licensed
marks and must destroy all materials containing or in any way
using the licensed marks.
Marketing
Agreements
Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation, Century 21 Real Estate
Corporation, ERA Franchise Systems, Inc., Sothebys
International Affiliates, Inc. and PHH Mortgage are parties to a
marketing agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the marketing
agreement, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation, Century 21
Real Estate LLC, ERA Franchise Systems, Inc. and Sothebys
International Affiliates, Inc. have each agreed to recommend
exclusively PHH Mortgage as provider of mortgage loans to their
respective independent sales associates. In addition, Coldwell
Banker Real Estate Corporation, Century 21 Real Estate
Corporation, ERA Franchise Systems, Inc. and Sothebys
International Affiliates, Inc. agree under the marketing
agreement to actively promote our products and services to their
franchisees and the sales agents of their franchisees, which
includes, among other things, promotion of PHH through mail
inserts, brochures and advertisements as well as articles in
company newsletters and permitting PHH Mortgage presentations
during sales meetings. Under the
30
marketing agreement, we pay Coldwell Banker Real Estate
Corporation, Century 21 Real Estate Corporation, ERA Franchise
Systems, Inc. and Sothebys International Affiliates, Inc.
a marketing fee for conducting such promotions based upon the
fair market value of the services to be provided. The marketing
agreement terminates upon termination of the strategic
relationship agreement.
Prior to entering into the marketing agreement, NRT and Cartus
each entered into separate interim marketing agreements with PHH
Mortgage. Pursuant to the interim marketing agreement between
NRT and PHH Mortgage, NRT agreed to provide access to PHH
Mortgage and to market PHH Mortgages various mortgage
programs and services to NRTs customers and real estate
agents in NRTs company-owned offices. Cartus agreed under
its interim marketing agreement with PHH Mortgage to provide
access to PHH Mortgage and to market PHH Mortgages
various mortgage programs and services to the customers and
clients of Cartus. In addition, NRT and Cartus each agreed under
both interim marketing agreements to provide certain additional
marketing and promotional services for PHH Mortgage. Such
services during 2005 included mail inserts, brochures and
advertisements as well as placement in company newsletters and
permitting PHH Mortgage presentations during sales meetings and,
with respect to NRT, also included the posting of PHH Mortgage
banners and signs throughout NRT offices. Under both interim
marketing agreements, NRT and Cartus each agreed not to enter
into similar arrangements with any other person or entity. PHH
Mortgage paid each of NRT and Cartus monthly marketing fees
under the interim marketing agreements, which were based upon
the fair market value of the services to be provided. The NRT
interim marketing agreement and the Cartus interim marketing
agreement terminated following the commencement of the Mortgage
Venture. The provisions of the strategic relationship agreement
and the marketing agreement described above now govern the
manner in which the Mortgage Venture and PHH Mortgage,
respectively, are recommended.
ARRANGEMENTS WITH MERRILL LYNCH
Approximately 24% of our mortgage loan originations for the year
ended December 31, 2005 were from Merrill Lynch Credit
Corporation (Merrill Lynch), pursuant to certain
agreements between us and Merrill Lynch as described in
more detail below.
Origination Assistance
Agreement
We are party to an Origination Assistance Agreement, dated as of
December 15, 2000, with Merrill Lynch, as amended (the
OAA). Pursuant to the OAA, we assist Merrill Lynch
in originating certain mortgage loans on a private-label basis.
We also provide certain origination-related services for Merrill
Lynch on a private label basis in connection with Merrill
Lynchs wholesale loan program for correspondent lenders
and mortgage brokers. The mortgage loan origination services
that we perform for Merrill Lynch include receiving and
processing applications for certain mortgage loan products
offered by Merrill Lynch, preparing documentation for mortgage
loans that meet Merrill Lynchs applicable underwriting
guidelines, closing mortgage loans, maintaining certain files
with respect to mortgage loans and providing daily interest rate
sheets to correspondent lenders and mortgage brokers. We also
assist Merrill Lynch in making bulk purchases of certain
mortgage loan products from correspondent lenders. Under the
terms of the OAA, we are the exclusive provider of mortgage
loans for mortgage loan borrowers (other than borrowers who
borrow indirectly through a correspondent lender or mortgage
broker) who either (i) have a relationship with, or are
referred by, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor in the Global
Private Client Group or (ii) are clients of the Merrill
Lynch investor services group. We are required to provide all
services under the OAA in accordance with the service standards
specified therein. The OAA obligates us to make certain
liquidated damage payments to Merrill Lynch if we do not
maintain specified levels of customer satisfaction with respect
to the services that we provide on behalf of Merrill Lynch. In
addition, our breach of the service standards in certain
circumstances (a PHH performance failure) may result
in termination of the OAA. The initial term of the OAA expires
on December 31, 2010, unless earlier terminated. Upon
expiration of the initial term, the OAA will automatically renew
for a five-year extension term; provided that, if there shall
have been a PHH performance failure or a Merrill Lynch
performance failure prior to December 31, 2010, then the
OAA shall not automatically extend unless the non-breaching
party gives notice to the other party that it is willing to
extend the OAA. We and Merrill Lynch each have the right to
terminate the OAA for the other partys uncured material
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the OAA or
bankruptcy or
31
insolvency. In addition, Merrill Lynch may also terminate the
OAA upon notice to us if (i) we lose good standing with the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) or both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac revoke our
good standing for cause and we do not have our good standing
reinstated within 30 days; (ii) we experience a change
of control under certain circumstances; or (iii) we breach
the terms of the trademark use agreement with Merrill Lynch
without curing such a breach within the applicable cure period.
During the one-year period following termination of the OAA, we
are obligated to assist Merrill Lynch in transitioning the
business back to it or a third-party service provider designated
by Merrill Lynch.
Portfolio Servicing
Agreement
We are also party to a Portfolio Servicing Agreement, dated as
of January 28, 2000, with Merrill Lynch, as amended (the
Portfolio Servicing Agreement). Pursuant to the
Portfolio Servicing Agreement, we service certain mortgage loans
originated or otherwise held in a portfolio by Merrill Lynch and
maintain electronic files related to the servicing functions
that we perform. Mortgage loan servicing under the Portfolio
Servicing Agreement includes collecting loan payments from
borrowers, remitting principal and interest payments to the
owner of each mortgage loan, and managing escrow funds for
payment of mortgage loan-related expenses, such as property
taxes and homeowners insurance. We also assist Merrill
Lynch in managing funds relating to properties acquired by
Merrill Lynch in foreclosure, which may include the disposition
of such properties. We may not terminate the Portfolio Servicing
Agreement without the consent of Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch,
however, may terminate the Portfolio Servicing Agreement at any
time upon notice to us in the event of (i) any uncured
material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by
us under certain agreements, including the Portfolio Servicing
Agreement, the trademark use agreement with Merrill Lynch, and
the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined below),
(ii) our bankruptcy or insolvency, (iii) the loss of
our eligibility to sell or service mortgage loans for Fannie
Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae if we cease to be a HUD-approved
mortgagee, (iv) we experience a change in control under
certain circumstances; or (v) our failure to meet certain
service standards specified in the Portfolio Servicing
Agreement, which is not cured within the applicable cure period.
If the Portfolio Servicing Agreement is terminated due to our
failure to meet certain specified service standards, then we and
Merrill Lynch will retain an arbitrator to determine the fair
market value of the mortgage servicing rights. Upon
determination of the fair market value of such mortgage
servicing rights by the arbitrator, Merrill Lynch may elect to
terminate the Portfolio Servicing Agreement and purchase such
mortgage servicing rights from us.
Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement
We are party to a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of
December 15, 2000, with Merrill Lynch, as amended (the
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement). Pursuant to the
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, we are required to purchase
from Merrill Lynch certain mortgage loans that have been
originated under the OAA, including the mortgage servicing
rights with respect to such loans (other than alternative
mortgage loans). We and Merrill Lynch agree upon mortgage loans
constituting alternative mortgage loans from time to time, but
generally these loans include three- and five year
adjustable-rate and variable-rate mortgage loans and
construction loans. While not required, we may elect to purchase
alternative mortgage loans from Merrill Lynch, including the
mortgage servicing rights associated with such loans, upon
mutual agreement of Merrill Lynch. The initial term of the Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement expires on December 31, 2010,
unless earlier terminated. Upon expiration of the initial term,
the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement will automatically renew
for a five-year extension term; provided that, if there shall
have been a PHH performance failure or a Merrill Lynch
performance failure prior to December 31, 2010, then the
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement shall not automatically extend
unless the non-breaching party gives notice to the other party
that it is willing to extend the Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement. Both we and Merrill Lynch have the right to terminate
the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement for the other partys
uncured material breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement or bankruptcy
or insolvency. In addition, Merrill Lynch may also terminate the
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement upon notice to us if
(i) we lose our good standing with HUD or both Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac revoke our good standing for cause and we do not
have our good standing reinstated within 30 days;
(ii) we experience a change of control under certain
circumstances; or (iii) we breach the terms of our
trademark use agreement with Merrill Lynch without curing such
breach within the applicable cure period.
32
Following termination of the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement,
we are no longer required to purchase any mortgage loans
originated under the OAA.
Servicing Rights
Purchase and Sale Agreement
We are party to a Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement,
dated as of January 28, 2000, with Merrill Lynch, as
amended (the SRPSA). Pursuant to the SRPSA, we are
required to purchase from Merrill Lynch the mortgage servicing
rights for certain mortgage loans that have been originated
under the OAA (alternative mortgage loans). We purchase the
servicing rights at quarterly bulk offering sales and on a flow
basis. We will not purchase servicing rights for loans that are
(i) 60 days or more past due as of the sale date;
(ii) in litigation; or (iii) in bankruptcy. The SRPSA
expires upon the earlier of December 31, 2010 and the date
upon which the OAA is terminated. If the OAA is extended, the
SRPSA shall be automatically extended for the same extension
term. Both we and Merrill Lynch have the right to terminate the
SRPSA for the other partys uncured material breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the SRPSA or bankruptcy
or insolvency. In addition, either party may terminate the SRPSA
if the other party loses its good standing with HUD, Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. Following termination of the SRPSA,
we are no longer required to purchase the servicing rights and
no further flow offerings or quarterly bulk offerings shall take
place.
Equity Access and Omega
Loan Subservicing Agreement
We are party to an Equity Access and Omega Loan Subservicing
Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2002, with Merrill Lynch, as
amended (the EA Agreement). Merrill Lynch services
certain revolving line of credit loans secured by marketable
securities, as well as certain securitized and non-securitized,
residential first and second lien equity line of credit loans
pursuant to applicable pooling and servicing agreements and
private investor agreements. Pursuant to this agreement, we
agree to subservice such loans for Merrill Lynch. The EA
Agreement expires upon the earlier of June 1, 2009 and the
date upon which the OAA is terminated. With respect to services
to be provided by us pursuant to the EA Agreement, we agree to
indemnify Merrill Lynch for all losses resulting from our
failure to comply with the terms of any private investor
agreement or pooling and servicing agreement. Merrill Lynch may
terminate the EA Agreement at any time upon notice to us in the
event of (i) any uncured material breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant by us including failure to
make pass-through payments, (ii) our bankruptcy or
insolvency, (iii) the loss of our eligibility to sell or
service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie
Mae, or if we cease to be a HUD-approved mortgagee, or
(iv) if we fail to perform in accordance with the
applicable service standards and do not cure the failure within
90 days.
Risks Related to our
Internal Control Deficiencies, the Restatement of our Financial
Statements and the Delay in Filing our Periodic
Reports
|
|
|
We have identified numerous material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. |
During the preparation of our financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we identified a number
of control deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting. A number of these control deficiencies have been
classified as material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
that in the aggregate constitute material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a control deficiency that results in there being
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of
the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course
of their assigned functions. Based on the material weaknesses
identified, management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective as of December 31,
2005. Additionally, management was unable to complete its review
and testing of certain outsourced information technology
services provided in support of our financial reporting, general
ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, customer billing
and human resource and payroll system processes. As a result,
there can be no assurance that there were not additional
material weaknesses relating to these outsourced IT services.
As of the end of the period covered in this
Form 10-K,
management performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our periodic reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated
33
and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the
identification of the material weaknesses in internal control
over financial reporting described above, as well as our
inability to file this
Form 10-K within
the statutory time period, management concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
December 31, 2005.
As of the filing of this
Form 10-K, we have
implemented changes in our internal control over financial
reporting to remediate certain but not all of the identified
control deficiencies. Our continuing remediation efforts are
subject to our internal control assessment, testing and
evaluation processes. While these efforts continue, we will rely
on additional substantive procedures and other measures as
needed to assist us with meeting the objectives otherwise
fulfilled by an effective control environment. As a result, we
expect that once we commence our preparation and review of
first, second and third quarter 2006 financial statements, our
internal control over financial reporting will not be effective
as of March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, respectively. There can be no assurance
that our internal control over financial reporting or our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent future error or
fraud in connection with our financial statements. See
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures for additional
information.
|
|
|
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses
related to our internal control over financial reporting and the
preparation of our financial statements. |
We have devoted substantial internal and external resources to
the completion of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the
year ended December 31, 2005 and related matters. As a
result of these efforts, along with efforts to complete our
assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we expect that we will incur
incremental fees and expenses for additional auditor services,
financial and other consulting services, legal services and
liquidity waivers of approximately $35 million to
$40 million. While we do not expect fees and expenses
relating to the preparation of our financial results for future
periods to remain at this level, we expect that these fees and
expenses will remain significantly higher than historical fees
and expenses in this category for the next several quarters.
These expenses, as well as the substantial time devoted by our
management towards addressing these weaknesses, could have a
material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
|
|
|
We have postponed the filing of our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006. As a result, we do not have current
financial information available and are not able to register our
securities for offer and sale until we are deemed a current
filer with the SEC. |
We have postponed the filing of this
Form 10-K, our
Proxy Statement and our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006. As a result, there is a lack of current
publicly available financial information concerning us.
Investors must evaluate whether to purchase or sell our
securities in light of the lack of current financial information
concerning us. We are not in a position to predict at what date
current financial information will be available. Accordingly,
any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
In addition, until current periodic reports and financial
statements are available for us, we will be precluded from
registering our securities with the SEC for offer and sale. This
precludes us from raising debt or equity financing in the public
markets and restrains our ability to use stock options and other
equity-based awards to attract, retain and provide incentives to
our employees.
|
|
|
As a result of the delays in filing our periodic reports,
we required certain waivers regarding the delivery of financial
statements under our financing agreements and certain other
contractual and regulatory requirements. We may require
additional waivers in the future, particularly if we are unable
to meet the deadlines for delivery of our quarterly financial
statements. Failure to obtain waivers could be material and
adverse to our business, liquidity and financial
condition. |
We have previously obtained certain waivers and continue to seek
additional waivers extending the date for delivery of our
Consolidated Financial Statements, the financial statements of
our subsidiaries, and other documents related to such financial
statements to certain lenders, trustees and other third parties
in connection
34
with certain of our financing, servicing, hedging and related
agreements and instruments (collectively, our Financing
Agreements). We obtained waivers under certain of our
Financing Agreements which waive certain potential breaches of
covenants under those instruments and establish the extended
deadlines for the delivery of our financial statements and other
documents to the various lenders under those instruments. With
respect to our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, the waivers extended the deadline for
delivery of these financial statements and other documents until
December 29, 2006. Due to the existence of material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and
the delays in completing the 2005 audited financial statements,
it is now uncertain whether we can issue our 2006 quarterly
financial statements within this extended date. It is also
uncertain as to whether we can issue our 2006 annual and 2007
quarterly financial statements within the deadlines prescribed
by the Financing Agreements or by the SEC.
Under certain of our Financing Agreements, 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 such events of default. If we do not cure the
events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the
required time periods or certain extended time periods, the
maturity of some of our debt could be accelerated and our
ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted.
Moreover, defaults under certain of our Financing Agreements
would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our
other financing arrangements. We also obtained certain waivers
and may need to seek additional waivers extending the date for
delivery of the financial statements of our subsidiaries and
other documents related to such financial statements to certain
regulators, investors in mortgage loans and other third parties
in order to satisfy state mortgage licensing regulations and
certain contractual requirements. We will continue to seek
similar waivers as may be necessary in the future. Our
independent registered public accounting firms audit
report with respect to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contains an explanatory paragraph stating that the uncertainty
about our ability to comply with certain of our financial
agreement covenants relating to the timely filing of our
financial statements raises substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that any additional waivers will be
received on a timely basis, if at all, or that any waivers
obtained, including the waivers we have already obtained, will
extend for a sufficient period of time to avoid an acceleration
event, an event of default or other restrictions on our business
operations. The failure to obtain such waivers could have a
material and adverse effect on our business, liquidity and
financial condition.
|
|
|
The delays in filing our periodic reports with the SEC
could cause the NYSE to commence suspension or delisting
procedures with respect to our common stock. |
As a result of the delay in filing our periodic reports, we are
in breach of the continued listing requirements of the NYSE. We
have received a waiver from the NYSE extending the deadline for
filing our periodic reports until January 2, 2007, subject
to review by the NYSE on an ongoing basis. We may be required to
seek additional waivers from the NYSE for our periodic reports
for the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006 as well as waivers for our 2006
annual and 2007 quarterly periodic reports. There can be no
assurance that any such waiver will be granted. Further delays
in the filing of our periodic reports could cause the NYSE to
commence suspension or delisting procedures in respect of our
common stock. The commencement of any suspension or delisting
procedures by the NYSE remains, at all times, at the discretion
of the NYSE and would be publicly announced by the NYSE. The
delisting of our common stock from the NYSE may have a material
adverse effect on us by, among other things, limiting:
|
|
|
|
|
the liquidity of our common stock; |
|
|
|
the market price of our common stock; |
|
|
|
the number of institutional and other investors that will
consider investing in our common stock; |
|
|
|
the availability of information concerning the trading prices
and volume of our common stock; |
|
|
|
the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares
of our common stock; and |
35
|
|
|
|
|
our ability to obtain equity financing for the continuation of
our operations. |
|
|
|
Pending securities litigation could have a material
adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial
condition. |
We, our directors, Chief Executive Officer and former Chief
Financial Officer are defendants in several securities lawsuits.
See Item 3. Legal Proceedings, for a more
detailed description of these proceedings. These actions remain
in preliminary stages and it is not yet possible to determine
their ultimate outcome at this time. We, therefore, cannot
provide assurance that the legal and other costs associated with
the defense of these actions, the time required to be spent by
management and the Board of Directors on these matters and the
ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
|
|
|
Our potential indemnification obligations and limitations
of our directors and officers liability insurance could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. |
As discussed above under the caption Pending securities
litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business,
liquidity and financial condition, our directors, Chief
Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer are
defendants in several securities lawsuits. See
Item 3. Legal Proceedings for a more detailed
description of these proceedings. Under Maryland law, our
charter and our bylaws, we have an obligation to indemnify and
pay expenses in advance for our directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in relation to these
matters. Such indemnification may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial position, results of operations or
cash flows to the extent insurance does not cover our costs. The
insurance carrier that provides our directors and officers
liability policy may seek to rescind or deny coverage with
respect to these matters or we may not have sufficient coverage
under such policies. If the insurance carrier is successful in
rescinding or denying coverage to us and/or some of our
directors or officers, or if we do not have sufficient coverage
under our policies, our business, financial position, results of
operations or cash flows may be adversely affected.
|
|
|
Continuing negative publicity may adversely affect our
business. |
As a result of the delay in the filing of this
Form 10-K, our
internal control deficiencies and the restatement of our
financial statements, we have been the subject of continuing
negative publicity. This negative publicity may inhibit our
ability to attract new clients and business partners and have an
effect on the terms under which some clients are willing to
continue to do business with us. Continuing negative publicity
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Risks Related to our
Business
|
|
|
The termination of our status as the exclusive recommended
provider of mortgage products and services promoted by the
residential and commercial real estate brokerage business owned
and operated by Realogys affiliate, NRT, the title and
settlement services business owned and operated by
Realogys affiliate, TRG and the relocation business owned
and operated by Realogys affiliate, Cartus, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. |
Under the terms of the strategic relationship agreement, we are
the exclusive recommended provider of mortgage loans to the
independent sales associates affiliated with the residential and
commercial real estate brokerage business owned and operated by
Realogys affiliate, NRT, certain customers of Realogy, and
all U.S.-based
employees of Cendant. The marketing agreement similarly provides
that we are the exclusive recommended provider of mortgage loans
and related products to the independent sales associates of
Realogys real estate brokerage franchisees, which include
Coldwell Banker, Century 21 and ERA. See Item 1.
Business Arrangements with Realogy
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and PHH,
Strategic Relationship Agreement and
Marketing Agreements in this
Form 10-K. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 45% of loans
originated by our Mortgage Production segment were derived from
these
36
sources. We anticipate that a similar portion of mortgage loan
originations from our Mortgage Production segment will be
comprised of business arising out of our arrangements with
Realogy, including the Mortgage Venture. Cendant has spun-off
its real estate services division, Realogy, into an independent,
publicly traded company, which may require certain amendments to
our agreements with Cendant and Realogy in order to continue to
obtain the full benefit of these agreements following the
Realogy Spin-Off. There can be no assurances that we will be
able to obtain any amendments we believe are necessary or
appropriate at all or, if obtained, that these amendments will
be on terms favorable to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Venture operating
agreement, beginning on February 1, 2015, Realogy will have
the right at any time upon two years notice to us to
terminate its interest in the Mortgage Venture. A termination of
the Mortgage Venture could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and our results of operations. In addition,
the strategic relationship agreement provides that Realogy has
the right to terminate the covenant requiring it to exclusively
recommend us as the provider of mortgage loans to the
independent sales associates affiliated with the residential and
commercial real estate brokerage business owned and operated by
Realogys affiliate, NRT, certain customers of Realogy, and
all U.S.-based
employees of Cendant, following notice and a cure period, if:
|
|
|
|
|
we materially breach any representation, warranty, covenant or
other agreement contained in the strategic relationship
agreement, marketing agreement, trademark license agreements or
certain other related agreements; |
|
|
|
we or the Mortgage Venture become subject to any regulatory
order or governmental proceeding and such order or proceeding
prevents or materially impairs the Mortgage Ventures
ability to originate mortgages for any period of time (which
order or proceeding is not generally applicable to companies in
the mortgage lending business) in a manner that adversely
affects the value of one or more of the quarterly distributions
to be paid by the Mortgage Venture to its members; |
|
|
|
the Mortgage Venture otherwise is not permitted by law,
regulation, rule, order or other legal restriction to perform
its origination function in any jurisdiction, but in such case
exclusivity may be terminated only with respect to such
jurisdiction; or |
|
|
|
the Mortgage Venture does not comply with its obligations to
complete an acquisition of a mortgage loan origination company
under the terms of the strategic relationship agreement. |
If Realogy were to terminate its exclusivity obligations with
respect to the Mortgage Venture, it would adversely affect our
business, financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
|
|
|
Adverse developments in general business, economic,
environmental and political conditions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. |
Our businesses and operations are sensitive to general business
and economic conditions in the United States. These conditions
include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation,
fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets, including the
secondary market for mortgage loans, and the general condition
of the U.S. economy and housing market, both nationally and
in the regions in which we conduct our businesses. A significant
portion of our mortgage loan originations are made in a small
number of geographical areas which include: California, New
Jersey, New York, Florida and Texas.
A host of factors beyond our control could cause fluctuations in
these conditions, including political events, such as civil
unrest, war or acts or threats of war or terrorism and
environmental events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and other
natural disasters. Adverse developments in these conditions and
resulting general business and economic conditions, including
through recession, downturn or otherwise, either in the economy
generally or in those regions in which a large portion of our
business is conducted, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Our business is significantly affected by monetary and related
policies of the federal government, its agencies and
government-sponsored entities. We are particularly affected by
the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the
supply of money and credit in the United States. The Federal
Reserve Boards policies
37
affect the size of the mortgage origination market, the pricing
of our interest-earning assets and the cost of our
interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in any of these policies
are beyond our control, difficult to predict and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
|
|
|
Our business is affected by fluctuations in interest
rates, and if we fail to manage our exposure to changes in
interest rates effectively, our business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows could be adversely
affected. |
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk,
specifically long-term U.S. Treasury and mortgage loan
interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets
and commitments and also the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and commercial paper interest rates due to
their impact on variable borrowings and other interest rate
sensitive liabilities. The level and volatility of interest
rates significantly affect the mortgage lending industry. A
decline in mortgage interest rates generally increases the
demand for home loans as more potential homeowners seek mortgage
loans and more borrowers seek to refinance existing loans, but
also generally leads to accelerated payoffs in our mortgage
servicing portfolio, which negatively impacts the value of our
MSRs. Historically, as interest rates increase, mortgage loan
production decreases, particularly production from loan
refinancing activity. An environment of gradual interest rate
increases may, however, signify an improving economy or
increasing real estate values, which in turn may stimulate
increased home buying activity. Generally, in periods of reduced
mortgage loan production the associated profit margins also
decline due to increased competition among mortgage loan
originators and higher unit costs, thus further reducing
revenues from our Mortgage Production segment. Conversely, in a
rising interest rate environment, revenues from our Mortgage
Servicing segment generally increase because mortgage loan
prepayment rates tend to decrease, extending the average life of
our servicing portfolio and reducing the amortization and
impairment of our MSRs. We attempt to manage our interest rate
risk, in part, through the use of derivatives, particularly swap
contracts, forward delivery commitments, futures, and options
contracts to manage and reduce this risk. Our main objective in
managing interest rate risk is to moderate the impact of changes
in interest rates on our earnings over time. Our interest rate
risk management strategies may result in significant earnings
volatility in the short term. The success of our interest rate
risk management strategy is largely dependent on our ability to
predict the earnings sensitivity of our Mortgage Servicing and
Mortgage Production segments in various interest rate
environments, which is inherently uncertain. Significant changes
in current market conditions and/or the assumptions used
(including the relationship of the change in the value of the
MSRs to the change in the value of derivatives) in developing
our estimates of borrower behavior and future interest rates
could result in a material adverse effect on our business,
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
|
|
|
Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating
our risks associated with changes in interest rates. |
We employ various economic hedging strategies to attempt to
mitigate the interest rate and prepayment risk inherent in many
of our assets, including our mortgage loans held for sale,
interest rate lock commitments and our MSRs. We use various
derivative and other financial instruments to provide a level of
protection against interest rate risks, but no hedging strategy
can protect us completely. Our hedging activities may include
entering into interest rate swaps, caps and floors, options to
purchase these items, futures and forward contracts, and/or
purchasing or selling U.S. Treasury securities. Our hedging
decisions in the future will be determined in light of the facts
and circumstances existing at the time and may differ from our
current hedging strategy. We also seek to manage interest rate
risk in our U.S. residential real estate finance business
partially by monitoring and seeking to maintain an appropriate
balance between our loan production volume and the size of our
mortgage servicing portfolio.
Our hedging strategies may not be effective in mitigating the
risks related to changes in interest rates. Poorly designed
strategies or improperly executed transactions could actually
increase our risk and losses. There have been periods, and it is
likely that there will be periods in the future, during which we
incur losses after accounting for our hedging strategies. The
success of our interest rate risk management strategy is largely
dependent on our ability to predict the earnings sensitivity of
our loan servicing and loan production activities in various
interest rate environments. Our hedging strategies also rely on
assumptions and projections regarding our assets and
38
general market factors. If these assumptions and projections
prove to be incorrect or our hedges do not adequately mitigate
the impact of changes in interest rates or prepayment speeds, we
may incur losses that could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
|
|
|
Our business relies, in part, on warehouse, repurchase and
other credit facilities to fund mortgage loans and vehicle
purchases. If any of our warehouse, repurchase and other credit
facilities are terminated as a result of our breach of the
agreement or are not renewed, we may be unable to find
replacement financing on commercially favorable terms, if at
all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
Our business relies, in part, on warehouse, repurchase and other
credit facilities to fund mortgage loans and vehicle purchases,
a significant portion of which is short-term. If any of our
warehouse, repurchase or other credit facilities are terminated
as a result of our breach of the agreement or are not renewed,
we may be unable to find replacement financing on commercially
favorable terms, if at all, which could have a material and
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
|
|
|
The industries in which we operate are highly competitive
and, if we fail to meet the competitive challenges in our
industries, our business, financial position, results of
operations or cash flows could be materially adversely
affected. |
We operate in highly competitive industries that could become
even more competitive as a result of economic, legislative,
regulatory and technological changes. Certain of our competitors
are larger than we are and have access to greater financial
resources than we do. Competition for mortgage loans comes
primarily from large commercial banks and savings institutions,
which typically have lower funding costs and are less reliant
than we are on the sale of mortgages into the secondary markets
to maintain their liquidity. In addition, technological advances
and heightened
e-commerce activity
have generally increased consumers access to products and
services. This has intensified competition among banking, as
well as non-banking companies, in offering financial products
and services, with or without the need for a physical presence.
If competition in the mortgage services industry continues to
increase, it could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. We believe the mortgage industry will become increasingly
competitive in 2007 as industry margins and volumes contract due
to higher interest rates and other competitive factors. We
intend to take advantage of this environment by leveraging our
existing mortgage origination services platform to enter into
new outsourcing relationship as more companies determine that it
is no longer economically feasible to compete in the industry,
but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this
effort.
The fleet management industry in which we operate is highly
competitive. We compete against large national competitors, such
as GE Commercial Finance Fleet Services, Wheels, Inc.,
Automotive Resources International, Lease Plan International and
other local and regional competitors, including numerous
competitors who focus on one or two products. Competitive
pressures could adversely affect our revenues, and operating
results by decreasing our market share or depressing the prices
that we can charge.
|
|
|
Changes in existing U.S. government-sponsored
mortgage programs, or disruptions in the secondary markets for
mortgage loans, could adversely affect our business, financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. |
Our ability to generate revenues through mortgage loan sales to
institutional investors depends to a significant degree on
programs administered by government-sponsored enterprises such
as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and others that
facilitate the issuance of mortgage-backed securities in the
secondary market. These government-sponsored enterprises play a
powerful role in the residential mortgage industry and we have
significant business relationships with them. Proposals are
being considered in Congress and by various regulatory
authorities that would affect the manner in which these
government-sponsored enterprises conduct their business,
including proposals to establish a new independent agency to
regulate the government-sponsored enterprises, to require them
to register their stock with the SEC, to reduce or limit certain
business benefits that they receive from the
U.S. government and to limit the size of the mortgage loan
portfolios that they may hold. Any discontinuation of, or
significant reduction in, the operation of these
government-sponsored enterprises
39
could adversely affect our business, financial position, results
of operations or cash flows. Also, any significant adverse
change in the level of activity in the secondary market or the
underwriting criteria of these government-sponsored enterprises
could adversely affect our business, financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
|
|
|
The businesses in which we engage are complex and heavily
regulated, and changes in the regulatory environment affecting
our businesses could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws, rules
and regulations that affect our business, including mortgage-
and real estate-related regulations such as RESPA, which
restricts the payment of fees or other things of value in
consideration for the referral of real estate settlement
services, including mortgage loans, as well as rules and
regulations related to taxation, vicarious liability and
accounting. Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing
segments, in general, are heavily regulated by mortgage lending
laws at the federal, state and local levels, and proposals for
further regulation of the financial services industry are
continually being introduced. The establishment of the Mortgage
Venture and the continuing relationship between and among the
Mortgage Venture, Realogy and us will be subject to the
anti-kickback requirements of RESPA.
The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requires us to disclose certain
information about the mortgage loans we originate and purchase,
such as the race and gender of our customers, the disposition of
mortgage applications, income levels and interest rate (i.e.
annual percentage rate) information. We believe that publication
of such information may lead to heightened scrutiny of all
mortgage lenders loan pricing and underwriting practices.
We are also subject to privacy regulations. We manage highly
sensitive non-public personal information in all of our
operating segments, which is regulated by law. Problems with the
safeguarding and proper use of this information could result in
regulatory actions and negative publicity, which could adversely
affect our reputation, financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
With respect to our Fleet Management Services segment, we could
be subject to unlimited liability as the owner of leased
vehicles in two major provinces in Canada and are subject to
limited liability in the Province of Ontario and as many as
fifteen jurisdictions in the United States under the legal
theory of vicarious liability.
Congress, state legislatures, federal and state regulatory
agencies and other professional and regulatory entities review
existing laws, rules, regulations and policies and periodically
propose changes that could significantly affect or restrict the
manner in which we conduct our business. It is possible that one
or more legislative proposals may be adopted or one or more
regulatory changes, changes in interpretations of laws and
regulations, judicial decisions or governmental enforcement
actions may be implemented that would have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. For example, certain trends in the regulatory environment
could result in increased pressure from our clients for us to
assume more residual risk on the value of the vehicles at the
end of the lease term. If this were to occur, it could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our failure to comply with such laws, rules or regulations,
whether actual or alleged, could expose us to fines, penalties
or potential litigation liabilities, including costs,
settlements and judgments, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
|
|
|
Our Fleet Management Services business contracts with
various government agencies, which may be subject to audit and
potential reduction of costs and fees. |
Contracts with federal, state and local government agencies may
be subject to audit, which could result in the disallowance of
certain fees and costs. These audits may be conducted by
government agencies and can result in the disallowance of
significant costs and expenses if the auditing agency
determines, in its discretion, that certain costs and expenses
were not warranted or were excessive. Disallowance of costs and
expenses, if pervasive or significant, could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
40
|
|
|
If certain change in control transactions occur some of
our mortgage loan origination arrangements with financial
institutions could be subject to termination at the election of
such institutions. |
For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 50% of
our mortgage loan originations were derived from our financial
institutions channel, pursuant to which we provide outsourced
mortgage loan services for customers of our financial
institution clients such as Merrill Lynch Credit Corporation, TD
Banknorth, N.A. and Charles Schwab Bank. Our agreements with
some of these financial institutions provide the applicable
financial institution with the right to terminate its
relationship with us prior to the expiration of the contract
term if we complete a change in control transaction with certain
third-party acquirers. Accordingly, completion of such a change
in control transaction could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. Furthermore, the existence of these termination rights
could discourage offers from third parties seeking to acquire us
or could reduce the amount of consideration an acquirer would be
willing to pay in an acquisition transaction. Although in some
cases these contracts would require the payment of liquidated
damages in such event, such amounts may not fully compensate us
for all of our actual or expected loss of business opportunity
for the remaining duration of the contract term.
|
|
|
Unanticipated liabilities of our Fleet Management Services
segment as a result of damages in connection with motor vehicle
accidents under the theory of vicarious liability could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. |
Our Fleet Management Services segment could be liable for
damages in connection with motor vehicle accidents under the
theory of vicarious liability in certain jurisdictions in which
we do business. Under this theory, companies that lease motor
vehicles may be subject to liability for the tortious acts of
their lessees, even in situations where the leasing company has
not been negligent. Our Fleet Management Services segment is
subject to unlimited liability as the owner of leased vehicles
in two major provinces in Canada and is subject to limited
liability (e.g., in the event of a lessees failure to meet
certain insurance or financial responsibility requirements) in
the Province of Ontario and as many as fifteen jurisdictions in
the United States. Although our lease contracts require that
each lessee indemnifies us against such liabilities, in the
event that a lessee lacks adequate insurance coverage or
financial resources to satisfy these indemnity provisions we
could be liable for property damage or injuries caused by the
vehicles that we lease.
On August 10, 2005 a new federal law was enacted in the
United States which preempted those state vicarious liability
laws that imposed unlimited liability on a vehicle lessor. This
law, however, does not preempt existing state laws that impose
limited liability on a vehicle lessor in the event that certain
insurance or financial responsibility requirements for the
leased vehicles are not met. Prior to the enactment of this law,
our Fleet Management Services segment was subject to unlimited
liability in the states of New York and Maine and the District
of Columbia. It is unclear at this time whether any of these
three jurisdictions will enact legislation imposing limited or
an alternative form of liability on vehicle lessors. In
addition, the scope, application and enforceability of the new
federal law have not been fully tested. For example, a state
trial court in New York has ruled that the law is
unconstitutional. The ultimate disposition of this New York case
and its impact on the new federal law are uncertain at this time.
Additionally, a new law was recently enacted in the Province of
Ontario setting a cap of $1,000,000 on a lessors liability
for personal injuries for accidents occurring on or after
March 1, 2006. The scope, application and enforceability of
this new provincial law also have not been fully tested.
|
|
|
A failure to maintain our investment grade ratings could
impact our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms and
could negatively impact our business. |
As of September 30, 2006, our senior debt credit ratings
from Moodys Investors Service, Standard &
Poors and Fitch Ratings are Baa3, BBB and BBB+,
respectively. Our short-term debt credit ratings from
Moodys Investors Service, Standard & Poors
and Fitch Ratings are P-3, A-2 and F-2, respectively. Among
other things, maintenance of our investment grade ratings
requires that we demonstrate high levels of liquidity, including
access to alternative sources of funding such as committed lines
of credit, as well as a capital structure and leverage
appropriate for companies in our industry.
41
In the event our credit ratings were to drop below investment
grade, our access to the public corporate debt markets may be
severely limited. The cut-off for investment grade is generally
considered to be a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB- and BBB- for
Moodys Investors Service, Standard & Poors
and Fitch Ratings, respectively. In the event of a ratings
downgrade below investment grade, we may be required to rely
upon alternative sources of financing, such as bank lines and
private debt placements (secured and unsecured). A drop in our
credit ratings could also increase our cost of borrowing under
our credit facilities. Furthermore, we may be unable to retain
all of our existing bank credit commitments beyond the then
existing maturity dates. As a consequence, our cost of financing
could rise significantly, thereby negatively impacting our
ability to finance some of our capital-intensive activities,
such as our ongoing investment in MSRs and other retained
interests.
|
|
|
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how
we report our financial condition and results of operations, and
they may require management to make assumptions and estimates
about matters that are inherently uncertain. |
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we
record and report our financial condition and results of
operations. We have identified several accounting policies as
being critical to the presentation of our financial condition
and results of operations because they require management to
make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters
that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that
materially different amounts would be recorded under different
conditions or using different assumptions. Because of the
inherent uncertainty of the estimates and assumptions associated
with these critical accounting policies, we cannot provide any
assurance that we will not make subsequent significant
adjustments to the related amounts recorded in this
Form 10-K. See
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies of this
Form 10-K for more
information on our critical accounting policies.
|
|
|
Changes in accounting standards issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board or other standard-setting bodies may
adversely affect our reported revenues, profitability and
financial condition. |
Our financial statements are subject to the application of
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which are
periodically revised and/or expanded. The application of
accounting principles is also subject to varying interpretations
over time. Accordingly, we are required to adopt new or revised
accounting standards or comply with revised interpretations that
are issued from time to time by recognized authoritative bodies,
including the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC.
Those changes could adversely affect our reported revenues,
profitability or financial condition. In addition, new or
revised accounting standards may impact certain of our leasing
or lending products, which could adversely affect our
profitability.
|
|
|
We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information
provided by or on behalf of our customers and
counterparties. |
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other
transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on
information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and
counterparties, including financial statements and other
financial information. We also may rely on representations of
customers and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness
of that information and, with respect to financial statements,
on reports of independent auditors. Our financial condition and
results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent
we rely on financial statements that do not comply with GAAP or
are materially misleading.
|
|
|
An interruption in or breach of our information systems
may result in lost business, regulatory actions or litigation or
otherwise harm our reputation. |
We rely heavily upon communications and information systems to
conduct our business. Any failure or interruption of our
information systems or the third-party information systems on
which we rely could cause underwriting or other delays and could
result in fewer loan applications being received, slower
processing of applications, reduced efficiency in loan
servicing, and interruptions in our Fleet Management Services
business. We are required to comply with significant U.S. and
state regulations, as well as similar laws in other countries in
which we operate, with respect to the handling of consumer
information, and a breach in security of our
42
information systems could result in regulatory action and
litigation against us. If a failure, interruption or breach
occurs, it may not be adequately addressed by us or the third
parties on which we rely. Such a failure, interruption or breach
could harm our reputation, revenues, profitability and business
prospects.
|
|
|
The success and growth of our business may be adversely
affected if we do not adapt to and implement technological
changes. |
Our business is dependent upon technological advancement, such
as the ability to process loan applications over the internet,
accept electronic payments and provide immediate status updates.
To the extent that we become reliant on any particular
technology or technological solution, we may be harmed if the
technology or technological solution:
|
|
|
|
|
becomes non-compliant with existing industry standards or is no
longer supported by vendors; |
|
|
|
fails to meet or exceed the capabilities of our
competitors corresponding technologies or technological
solutions; |
|
|
|
becomes increasingly expensive to service, retain and
update; or |
|
|
|
becomes subject to third-party claims of copyright or patent
infringement. |
Our failure to acquire necessary technologies or technological
solutions could limit our ability to remain competitive and
could also limit our ability to increase our cost efficiencies,
which could harm our business, financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Risks Related to the
Spin-Off
|
|
|
Prior to the Spin-Off, we were not an independent company
and, following the Spin-Off, there is continuing uncertainty
that we will be able to make, on a timely or cost-effective
basis, the changes necessary to operate as an independent
company. |
Prior to the Spin-Off, our business was operated by Cendant as
part of its broader corporate organization, rather than as an
independent company. Cendant or one of its affiliates performed
various corporate functions for us, including, but not limited
to:
|
|
|
|
|
selected human resources related functions; |
|
|
|
tax administration; |
|
|
|
selected legal and accounting functions as well as external
reporting, treasury administration, investor relations, internal
audit, insurance and facilities functions and selected
information technology and telecommunications services. |
Neither Cendant nor any of its affiliates, including Realogy,
has any obligation to provide these functions to us other than
the transition services that were provided by Cendant and its
affiliates under the transition services agreement. (See
Item 1. Business Arrangements with
Cendant Transition Services Agreement for more
information.) Once the transition services agreement expires in
2007, if we do not (i) have in place our own systems,
corporate staff and business functions, (ii) have
agreements with other providers of these services or
(iii) make these changes cost-effectively, we may not be
able to operate our business effectively and our profitability
may decline. If Cendant or its affiliates do not continue to
perform effectively the services that are called for under the
transition services agreement, we may not be able to operate our
business effectively. We have not procured alternative
arrangements for certain of the services provided to us under
the transition services agreement. With respect to the
outsourced information technology services currently provided to
us under the transition services agreement, we are pursuing
alternative arrangements, including (i) extending the
transition services agreement with Cendant to provide for the
continuation of the outsourced information technology services
and entering into our own independent relationship with the
existing third-party service provider for these services; or
(ii) engaging a new third party to provide these services.
While we believe we will be able to implement either of these
alternative arrangements in a timely manner, there can be no
assurances that this result
43
will occur. If we are unable to enter into either of these
alternative arrangements in a timely manner, it will likely have
a material and adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
|
|
|
Our agreements with Cendant and Realogy may not reflect
terms that would have resulted from arms-length
negotiations between unaffiliated parties. |
The agreements related to our separation from Cendant and the
continuation of certain business arrangements with Cendant and
Realogy, including the separation, transition services,
strategic relationship, marketing and other agreements, were not
the result of arms-length negotiations and thus may not
reflect terms that would have resulted from arms-length
negotiations between two unaffiliated parties. This could
include, among other things, allocation of assets, liabilities,
rights, indemnities and other obligations between Cendant,
Realogy and us. See Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Realogy in this
Form 10-K.
|
|
|
We may be required to satisfy certain indemnification
obligations to Cendant or Realogy, or we may not be able to
collect on indemnification rights from Cendant or
Realogy. |
In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Cendant and our
respective affiliates have agreed to indemnify each other for
certain liabilities and obligations. Our indemnification
obligations could be significant. We are required to indemnify
Cendant for any taxes incurred by it and its affiliates as a
result of any action, misrepresentation or omission by us or one
of our subsidiaries that causes the distribution of our common
stock by Cendant or transactions relating to the internal
reorganization to fail to qualify as tax-free. We are also
responsible for 13.7% of any taxes resulting from the failure of
the Spin-Off or transactions relating to the internal
reorganization to qualify as tax-free, which failure is not due
to the actions, misrepresentations or omissions of Cendant or us
or our respective subsidiaries. Such percentage was based on the
relative pro forma net book values of Cendant and us as of
September 30, 2004, without giving effect to any
adjustments to the book values of certain long-lived assets that
may be required as a result of the Spin-Off and the related
transactions. We cannot determine whether we will have to
indemnify Cendant or its current or former affiliates for any
substantial obligations in the future. There also can be no
assurances that if Cendant or Realogy is required to indemnify
us for any substantial obligations, they will be able to satisfy
those obligations.
|
|
|
Certain arrangements and agreements that we have entered
into with Cendant in connection with the Spin-Off could impact
our tax and other assets and liabilities in the future, and our
financial statements are subject to future adjustments as a
result of our obligations under those arrangements and
agreements. |
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into certain
arrangements and agreements with Cendant that could impact our
tax and other assets and liabilities in the future. See
Item 1. Business Arrangements with
Cendant in this
Form 10-K. For
example, we are party to an amended and restated tax sharing
agreement with Cendant that contains provisions governing the
allocation of liability for taxes between Cendant and us,
indemnification for liability for taxes and responsibility for
preparing and filing tax returns and defending contested tax
positions, as well as other tax-related matters including the
sharing of tax information and cooperating with the preparation
and filing of tax returns. Pursuant to the tax sharing
agreement, our tax assets and liabilities will be affected by
Cendants future tax returns and may also be impacted by
the results of audits of Cendants prior tax years,
including the settlement of any such audits. In the fourth
quarter of 2005, we made financial statement adjustments to
reflect information reported on Cendants 2004 tax returns.
See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K. As
such, our financial statements are subject to future adjustments
which may not be fully resolved until the audits of
Cendants prior years returns are completed.
|
|
|
Our historical financial information may not be
representative of results we would have achieved as an
independent company or will achieve in the future. |
Because our business has changed substantially due to the
reorganization in connection with the Spin-Off, our historical
financial information does not reflect what our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows would have been had
we been an independent company during the periods presented. For
this reason, as well as
44
the inherent uncertainties of our business, the historical
financial information is not indicative of what our results of
operations, financial position, cash flows or costs and expenses
will be in the future. See Note 25, Discontinued
Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K.
Risks Related to our
Common Stock
|
|
|
There may be a limited public market for our common stock
and our stock price may experience volatility. |
Prior to the Spin-Off, there was no public market for our common
stock. In connection with the Spin-Off, our common stock was
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
PHH. From February 1, 2005 through
November 17, 2006, the closing trading price for our common
stock has ranged from $20.34 to $30.51. However, there can be no
assurance that an active trading market for our common stock
will be sustained in the future. In addition, the stock market
has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. Changes in earnings
estimates by analysts and economic and other external factors
may have a significant impact on the market price of our common
stock. Fluctuations or decreases in the trading price of our
common stock may adversely affect the liquidity of the trading
market for our common stock and our ability to raise capital
through future equity financing.
|
|
|
Provisions in our charter documents, the Maryland General
Corporation Law (the MGCL) and our stockholder
rights plan may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third
party. |
Our charter and by-laws contain several provisions that may make
it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us
without the approval of our board of directors. These provisions
include, among other things, a classified board of directors,
advance notice for raising business or making nominations at
meetings and blank check preferred stock. Blank
check preferred stock enables our board of directors, without
stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series
of preferred stock with such dividend, liquidation, conversion,
voting or other rights, including the right to issue convertible
securities with no limitations on conversion, as our board of
directors may determine, including rights to dividends and
proceeds in a liquidation that are senior to the common stock.
We are also subject to certain provisions of the MGCL which
could delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender
offer, proxy contest or other transaction that might otherwise
result in our stockholders receiving a premium over the market
price for their common stock or may otherwise be in the best
interest of our stockholders. These include, among other
provisions:
|
|
|
|
|
The business combinations statute which prohibits
transactions between a Maryland corporation and an interested
stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for
five years after the most recent date on which the interested
stockholder becomes an interested stockholder and |
|
|
|
The control share acquisition statute which provides
that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a
control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to
be cast on the matter. |
Our by-laws contain a provision exempting any share of our
capital stock from the control share acquisition statute to the
fullest extent permitted by the MGCL. However, our board of
directors has the exclusive right to amend our by-laws and,
subject to their fiduciary duties, could at any time in the
future amend the by-laws to remove this exemption provision.
In addition, we entered into a Rights Agreement, dated as of
January 28, 2005, with The Bank of New York, as rights
agent. This agreement entitles our stockholders to acquire
shares of our common stock at a price equal to 50% of the
then-current market value in limited circumstances when a third
party acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer for at
least 15% of our common stock, in each case, in a transaction
that our board of directors does not approve. Because, under
these limited circumstances, all of our stockholders would
become entitled to effect discounted purchases of our common
stock, other than the person or group that caused the rights to
become exercisable, the existence of these
45
rights would significantly increase the cost of acquiring
control of our company without the support of our board of
directors. The existence of the rights agreement could therefore
deter potential acquirers and reduce the likelihood that
stockholders receive a premium for our common stock in an
acquisition.
|
|
|
Certain provisions of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement that we have with Realogy could discourage third
parties from seeking to acquire us or could reduce the amount of
consideration they would be willing to pay our stockholders in
an acquisition transaction. |
Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Venture operating
agreement, as amended on May 12, 2005 and March 31,
2006, Realogy has the right to terminate the Mortgage Venture,
at its election, at any time on or after February 1, 2015
by providing two years notice to us. In addition, under
the Mortgage Venture operating agreement, Realogy may terminate
the Mortgage Venture if we effect a change in control
transaction involving certain competitors or other third
parties. In connection with such termination, we would be
required to make a liquidated damages payment in cash to Realogy
of an amount equal to the sum of (i) two times the Mortgage
Ventures trailing twelve months net income (except that,
in the case of a termination by Realogy following a change in
control of us, we may be required to make a cash payment to
Realogy in an amount equal to its allocable share of the
Mortgage Ventures trailing twelve months net income
multiplied by (a) if the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement is terminated prior to its twelfth anniversary, the
number of years remaining in the first twelve years of the term
of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, or (b) if the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement is terminated after its
tenth anniversary, two years), and (ii) all costs
reasonably incurred by Cendant and its subsidiaries in unwinding
its relationship with us pursuant to the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement and the related agreements, including the
strategic relationship agreement, marketing agreement and
trademark license agreements. The existence of these termination
provisions could discourage third parties from seeking to
acquire us or could reduce the amount of consideration they
would be willing to pay to our stockholders in an acquisition
transaction. See Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Realogy Mortgage Venture Between
Realogy and PHH of this
Form 10-K.

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
We are party to various claims and legal proceedings from time
to time related to contract disputes and other commercial,
employment and tax matters. Except as disclosed below, we are
not aware of any legal proceedings that we believe could have,
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
46
In March and April 2006, several class actions were filed
against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief
Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs purport to represent a
class consisting of all persons (other than our officers and
directors and their affiliates) who purchased our Common stock
between May 12, 2005 and March 1, 2006 (the
Class Period). The plaintiffs allege, among
other things, that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of
the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5
thereunder. Additionally, two derivative actions were filed in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
against us, our former Chief Financial Officer and each member
of our Board of Directors. One of these derivative actions has
since been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. The
remaining derivative action alleges breaches of fiduciary duty
and related claims based on substantially the same factual
allegations as in the class action suits.
Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, and because
these actions are at a preliminary stage, we cannot accurately
predict the ultimate outcome of these matters at this time. We
intend to vigorously defend against the alleged claims in each
of these matters. The ultimate resolution of these matters could
have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

including beneficial holders whose securities are held in the
name of a registered clearing agency or its nominee.
Dividend
Policy
Dividends declared per share of our Common stock for the
quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004,
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 were $0.66,
$0.67, $0.66 and $0.67, respectively, after giving effect to our
January 28, 2005 stock split as discussed below, and were
paid to our former parent, Cendant. No dividends were declared
during the year ended December 31, 2005.
The declaration and payment of future dividends by us will be
subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will
depend upon many factors, including our financial condition,
earnings, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries,
legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors
deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Many of our
subsidiaries (including certain consolidated partnerships,
trusts and other non-corporate entities) are subject to
restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or otherwise
transfer funds to other consolidated subsidiaries and,
ultimately, to PHH Corporation (the parent company). These
restrictions relate to loan agreements applicable to certain of
our asset-backed debt arrangements and to regulatory
restrictions applicable to the equity of our insurance
subsidiary, Atrium. The aggregate restricted net assets of these
47
subsidiaries totaled $1.4 billion as of December 31,
2005. These restrictions on net assets of certain subsidiaries,
however, do not directly limit our ability to pay dividends from
consolidated retained earnings. Pursuant to the terms of the
indentures governing our outstanding term notes, we may not pay
dividends on our Common stock in the event that our ratio of
debt to equity exceeds 6.5:1, after giving effect to the
dividend payment. The indentures include other covenants that
may restrict our ability to pay dividends, including a
requirement that our ratio of debt to tangible equity exceeds
10:1. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility, the
$500 Million Agreement and the Tender Support Facility
(each as defined in Item 7. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources Indebtedness Unsecured
Debt Credit Facilities) each include various
covenants that may restrict our ability to pay dividends on our
Common stock, including covenants which require that we
maintain: (i) on the last day of each fiscal quarter, net
worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net income, if positive,
for each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2004 and
(ii) at any time, a ratio of indebtedness to tangible net
worth no greater than 10:1. Based on our assessment of these
requirements as of December 31, 2005, we do not believe
that these restrictions will materially limit dividend payments
on our Common stock in the foreseeable future. However, we do
not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common stock in
the foreseeable future.

On September 9, 2005, we announced an odd lot buy back
program (the Program) pursuant to which stockholders
owning fewer than 100 shares of our Common stock could sell
all their shares or purchase enough additional shares to
increase their holdings to 100 shares. From
September 9, 2005 to November 16, 2005, we were
authorized to purchase 175,000 shares under the
Program. The Program expired on November 16, 2005. |

Item 6. |
Selected Financial Data |
The selected consolidated financial data set forth below has
been restated to reflect adjustments that are further discussed
in the Explanatory Note and in Note 2,
Prior Period Adjustments in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K.
As discussed under Item 1. Business, on
February 1, 2005, we began operating as an independent,
publicly traded company pursuant to the Spin-Off from Cendant.
Prior to the Spin-Off and subsequent to December 31, 2004,
we underwent an internal reorganization whereby we distributed
our former relocation and fuel card businesses to Cendant, and
Cendant contributed its former appraisal business, STARS, to us.
STARS was previously our wholly owned subsidiary until it was
distributed, in the form of a dividend, to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure on
December 31, 2002. Cendant then owned STARS through its
subsidiaries outside of our ownership from December 31,
2002 until it contributed STARS to us as part of the internal
reorganization discussed above.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Cendants contribution
of STARS to us was accounted for as a transfer of net assets
between entities under common control and, therefore, the
financial position and results of operations for STARS are
included in all periods presented. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 144, the financial position and results of
48
operations of our former relocation and fuel card businesses
have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for
all periods presented (see Note 25, Discontinued
Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K for more
information).
In connection with and in order to consummate the Spin-Off, on
January 27, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized and
approved a 52,684-for-one common stock split, to be effected by
a stock dividend at such ratio. The record date with regard to
such stock split was January 28, 2005. All references to
the number of shares of Common stock and earnings per share
amounts presented below reflect this stock split.
The selected consolidated financial data set forth below present
our historical financial data for the periods indicated. Because
our business has changed substantially due to the reorganization
in connection with the Spin-Off, and we now conduct our business
as an independent, publicly traded company, our historical
financial information does not reflect what our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows would have been had
we been an independent, publicly traded company during all of
the periods presented. Therefore, the historical financial
information presented herein is not indicative of what our
results of operations, financial position or cash flows will be
in the future.

impairment charge of $102 million ($96 million net of
income taxes). See Note 6, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K. During
2003, we consolidated Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage

On January 1, 2002, we adopted the non-amortization
provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142).
Accordingly, our results of operations for 2001 reflect the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets,
while our results of operations for 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 do
not reflect such amortization. Had we applied the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 during
2001, Net income would have been $243 million. On
March 1, 2001, we completed the acquisition of the fleet
management services business of Avis Group Holdings, Inc.
(Avis fleet business), which formed our Fleet
Management Services segment and materially impacted our results
of operations and financial position. Net revenues for the Fleet
Management Services segment during the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were
$1,711 million, $1,578 million, $1,369 million,
$1,364 million and $1,152 million, respectively.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interest for the Fleet Management Services segment
during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002
and 2001 was $80 million, $48 million,
$40 million, $53 million and $18 million,
respectively. Also during 2001, we recognized a $35 million
cumulative effect of accounting change. Of this amount,
$27 million related to the adoption of the provisions of
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20,
Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased
Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to
Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets
and $8 million related to the adoption of the provisions of
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 133). |

Item 7. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
Item 1. Business and our Consolidated Financial
Statements and the notes thereto included in this
Form 10-K. The
following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements and the risks and uncertainties described in
Item 1A. Risk Factors set forth above.
All amounts for periods prior to the year ended
December 31, 2005 and comparisons to such prior period
amounts reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis.
Accordingly, some of the data set forth in this section is not
comparable to the discussions and data in our previously filed
Annual Reports on
Form 10-K or
Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
periods affected by the restatement. For additional information
on the restatement, see the
50
Explanatory Note and Note 2, Prior
Period Adjustments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K. Our
review and evaluation of our internal control over financial
reporting concluded that we did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.
For additional information regarding the material weaknesses,
see Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Overview
We are a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet
management services. We conduct our business through three
operating segments, a Mortgage Production segment, a Mortgage
Servicing segment and a Fleet Management Services segment. Our
Mortgage Production segment originates, purchases and sells
mortgage loans through PHH Mortgage and PHH Home Loans. PHH Home
Loans is a mortgage venture that we maintain with Realogy which
began operations in October 2005. Our Mortgage Production
segment generated 21%, 29% and 56% of our Net revenues for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Our Mortgage Servicing segment services mortgage loans that
either PHH Mortgage or PHH Home Loans originates. Our Mortgage
Servicing segment also purchases mortgage servicing rights. Our
Mortgage Servicing segment also acts as a subservicer for
certain clients that own the underlying mortgage servicing
rights. Our Mortgage Servicing segment generated 10% and 5% of
our Net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. The high amortization rate during the year
ended December 31, 2003, coupled with the provision for
MSRs impairment, caused our Mortgage Servicing segment to
generate negative Net revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2003. Our Fleet Management Services segment
provides commercial fleet management services to corporate
clients and government agencies throughout the United States and
Canada through PHH Arval. Our Fleet Management Services segment
generated 69%, 66% and 52% of our Net revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004, we were a wholly owned subsidiary
of Cendant that provided homeowners with mortgages, serviced
mortgage loans, facilitated employee relocations and provided
vehicle fleet management and fuel card services to commercial
clients. During 2006, Cendant changed its name to Avis Budget
Group, Inc.; however, within this
Form 10-K, our
former parent company, now known as Avis Budget Group, Inc.
(NYSE: CAR) is referred to as Cendant. On
February 1, 2005, we began operating as an independent,
publicly traded company pursuant to the Spin-Off from Cendant.
See Item 1. Business for a discussion of the
Spin-Off.
Prior to the Spin-Off and subsequent to December 31, 2004,
we underwent an internal reorganization whereby we distributed
our former relocation and fuel card businesses to Cendant, and
Cendant contributed its former appraisal business, STARS, to us.
STARS was previously our wholly owned subsidiary until it was
distributed, in the form of a dividend, to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure on
December 31, 2002. Cendant then owned STARS through its
subsidiaries outside of our ownership structure from
December 31, 2002 until it contributed STARS to us as part
of the internal reorganization discussed above.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Cendants contribution
of STARS to us was accounted for as a transfer of net assets
between entities under common control and, therefore, the
financial position and results of operations for STARS are
included in all periods presented. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 144, the financial position and results of
operations of our former relocation and fuel card businesses
have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for
all periods presented (see Note 25, Discontinued
Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K for more
information).
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into several
agreements and arrangements with Cendant and its real estate
services division that we expect to continue to be material to
our business going forward. For a discussion of these agreements
and arrangements, see Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Cendant and
Arrangements with Realogy. Cendant
completed the spin-off of its real estate services division, (as
defined earlier, the Realogy Spin-Off), effective
July 31, 2006.
We, through our subsidiary, PHH Member, and Realogy, through its
subsidiary, Realogy Member, formed the Mortgage Venture. The
Mortgage Venture originates and sells mortgage loans primarily
sourced through Realogys owned real estate brokerage
business, NRT, its owned relocation business, Cartus, and its
owned settlement services business, TRG. All mortgage loans
originated by the Mortgage Venture are sold to PHH
51
Mortgage or unaffiliated third-party investors on a
servicing-released basis. The Mortgage Venture does not hold any
mortgage loans for investment purposes or retain MSRs for any
loans it originates. The Mortgage Venture did not materially
impact our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
We contributed assets and transferred employees that have
historically supported originations from NRT and Cartus to the
Mortgage Venture in October 2005. The Mortgage Venture is
principally governed by the terms of the operating agreement of
the Mortgage Venture between PHH Member and Realogy Member (as
amended, the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement)
and the strategic relationship agreement. See Item 1.
Business Arrangements with Realogy
Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and PHH and
Strategic Relationship Agreement for a
description of the terms of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement and the strategic relationship agreement. The Mortgage
Venture Operating Agreement has a
50-year term, subject
to earlier termination, under certain circumstances, including
after the twelfth year, including a two-year notice, or
non-renewal by us after 25 years subject to delivery of
notice. In the event that we do not deliver a non-renewal notice
after the 25th year, the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement will be renewed for an additional
25-year term. The
provisions of the strategic relationship agreement govern the
manner in which the Mortgage Venture is recommended by NRT,
Cartus and TRG as the exclusive recommended provider of mortgage
loans to (i) the independent sales associates affiliated
with the Realogy Entities (excluding the Realogy independent
sales associates of any Realogy franchisee acting in such
capacity), (ii) all customers of Realogy Entities
(excluding Realogy franchisees or any employees or independent
sales associate thereof acting in such capacity) and
(iii) the
U.S.-based employees of
Cendant. See Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Realogy Mortgage Venture Between
Realogy and PHH and Strategic
Relationship Agreement. We own 50.1% of the Mortgage
Venture through PHH Member and Realogy owns the remaining 49.9%
through Realogy Member.
The Mortgage Venture is consolidated within our Consolidated
Financial Statements, and Realogy Members interest in the
Mortgage Venture is reflected in our Consolidated Financial
Statements as a minority interest. (See Note 1,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Note 3, Spin-Off from
Cendant in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this
Form 10-K.)
Subject to certain regulatory and financial covenant
requirements, net income generated by the Mortgage Venture is
distributed quarterly to its members pro rata based upon their
respective ownership interests. The Mortgage Venture may also
require additional capital contributions from us and Realogy
under the terms of the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement if
it is required to meet minimum regulatory capital and reserve
requirements imposed by any governmental authority or any
creditor of the Mortgage Venture or its subsidiaries.
Prior to the Spin-Off and in the ordinary course of business, we
were allocated certain expenses from Cendant for corporate
functions including executive management, accounting, tax,
finance, human resources, information technology, legal and
facility-related expenses. Cendant allocated these corporate
expenses to subsidiaries conducting ongoing operations based on
a percentage of the subsidiaries forecasted revenues. Such
expenses amounted to $3 million, $32 million and
$36 million during the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively.
Although we had the ability to access the public debt market or
available credit facilities for required funding, prior to the
Spin-Off, Cendant provided intercompany funding to us in order
to lower the total cost of funding for the consolidated entity
through the use of its available cash. During the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, interest expense related
to such intercompany funding was not significant. These
intercompany funding arrangements with Cendant terminated at the
time of the Spin-Off. No intercompany funding amounts were
outstanding at December 31, 2004.
In addition, prior to and as part of the Spin-Off, Cendant made
a cash contribution to us of $100 million and we
distributed assets net of liabilities of $593 million to
Cendant. Such amount included the historical cost of the net
assets of our former relocation and fuel card businesses,
certain other assets and liabilities per the Spin-Off Agreements
and the net amount of forgiveness of certain payables and
receivables, including income taxes, between us, our former
relocation and fuel card businesses and Cendant.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
we paid Cendant $140 million (or $2.66 per share after
giving effect to the 52,684-for-one stock split effective
January 28, 2005) of cash dividends. We did not pay cash
dividends to Cendant during the year ended December 31,
2005.
52
Because our business has changed substantially due to the
internal reorganization in connection with the Spin-Off, and we
now conduct our business as an independent, publicly traded
company, our historical financial information does not reflect
what our results of operations, financial position or cash flows
would have been had we been an independent, publicly traded
company during all of the periods presented. Therefore, the
historical financial information for such periods is not
indicative of what our results of operations, financial position
or cash flows will be in the future.
|
|
|
Former Mortgage Services Segment |
During 2005, we changed the composition of our reportable
business segments by separating the business that was formerly
called the Mortgage Services segment into two
segments the Mortgage Production segment and the
Mortgage Servicing segment. All prior period segment information
has been restated to reflect our three reportable segments.
|
|
|
Mortgage Production Segment |
Our Mortgage Production segment principally provides fee-based
mortgage loan origination services for others (including
brokered mortgage loans) and sells originated mortgage loans
into the secondary market. PHH Mortgage generally sells all
mortgage loans that it originates to investors (which include a
variety of institutional investors) within 60 days of
origination. We originate mortgage loans through three principal
business channels: financial institutions (on a private
label-basis), real estate brokers (including brokers associated
with brokerages owned or franchised by Realogy and independent
brokers) and relocation (mortgage services for Cartus). We also
purchase mortgage loans originated by third parties. Fee income
consists primarily of fees collected on loans originated for
others (including brokered loans) and is recorded as revenue
when we complete our obligations relating to the underlying loan
transactions. Loan origination and commitment fees paid by the
borrower in connection with the origination of mortgage loans
and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred until
loans are sold to investors. Mortgage loans held for sale
(MLHS) are recorded on our balance sheet at the
lower of cost or market value on an aggregate basis. Sales of
mortgage loans are recorded on the date that ownership is
transferred. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are
recognized based upon the difference between the selling price
and the allocated carrying value of the related mortgage loans
sold.
Upon the closing of a mortgage loan originated or purchased by
us, the mortgage loan is typically warehoused for a period of up
to 60 days and then sold into the secondary market. MLHS
represent mortgage loans originated or purchased by us and held
until sold to investors. We primarily sell our mortgage loans to
government-sponsored entities, such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
or Ginnie Mae. Upon sale, we generally retain the MSRs and
servicing obligations of the underlying mortgage loans.
Our Mortgage Production segment also includes the appraisal
services business through STARS. The appraisal services business
is closely linked to the processes by which our Mortgage
Production segment originates mortgage loans. STARS derives
substantially all of its business from our three principal
business channels described above.
|
|
|
Mortgage Servicing Segment |
Our Mortgage Servicing segment services residential mortgage
loans. Upon the sale of the loans originated in or purchased by
the Mortgage Production segment, we generally retain the MSRs
and servicing obligations of those underlying loans. An MSR is
the right to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees
collected from the mortgagor for performing specified mortgage
servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan payments,
remitting principal and interest payments to investors, holding
escrow funds for payment of mortgage-related expenses such as
taxes and insurance and otherwise administering our mortgage
loan servicing portfolio.
The capitalization of MSRs occurs upon the sale of the
underlying mortgages into the secondary market. Upon the sale of
loans, the total cost of loans originated or acquired is
allocated between the MSR retained and the mortgage loans being
sold without the servicing rights based on their relative fair
values. Net loan servicing income is comprised of several
components, including recurring servicing fees, ancillary income
and the amortization and valuation adjustments of the MSR.
Recurring servicing fees are recognized upon receipt of the
53
coupon payment from the borrower and recorded net of agency
guaranty fees. Costs associated with mortgage loan servicing are
charged to expense as incurred. MSRs are amortized over the
estimated life of the related loan portfolio in proportion to
projected net servicing income. Such amortization is included in
Amortization and valuation adjustments related to mortgage
servicing rights, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Loan servicing income is receivable only out of interest
collected from mortgagors, and is recorded as income when
collected. Late charges and other miscellaneous fees collected
from mortgagors are also recorded as income when collected.
Costs associated with loan servicing are charged to expense as
incurred.
MSRs are routinely evaluated for impairment, but at least on a
quarterly basis. For purposes of performing this impairment
evaluation, we stratify our portfolio on the basis of product
type and interest rates of the underlying mortgage loans. We
measure impairment for each stratum by comparing its estimated
fair value to the carrying amount. Fair value is estimated based
upon estimates of expected future cash flows considering
prepayment estimates (developed using a model described below),
our historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics,
interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied
volatility and other economic factors. The model to forecast
prepayment rates used in the development of expected future cash
flows is based on historical observations of prepayment behavior
in similar periods, comparing current mortgage interest rates to
the mortgage interest rates in our servicing portfolio, and
incorporates loan characteristics (e.g., loan type and note
rate) and factors such as recent prepayment experience, previous
refinance opportunities and estimated levels of home equity.
Temporary impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance
in the period of occurrence and is included in Amortization and
valuation adjustments related to mortgage servicing rights, net
in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We periodically
evaluate our MSRs to determine if the carrying value before the
application of the valuation allowance is recoverable. When we
determine that a portion of the asset is not recoverable, the
asset and the previously designated valuation are reduced to
reflect the write-down.
Our Mortgage Servicing segment also includes our reinsurance
business, which we conduct through our wholly owned subsidiary,
Atrium, a New York domiciled monoline mortgage guaranty
insurance corporation. Atrium receives premiums from certain
third-party insurance companies and provides reinsurance solely
in respect of primary mortgage insurance issued by those
third-party insurance companies on loans originated through our
various loan origination channels.

Arrangements with Cendant and Realogy |
Prior to the Spin-Off, we entered into various agreements with
Cendant in connection with the Spin-Off to provide for our
separation from Cendant and the transition of our business as an
independent company, including (i) a separation agreement,
(ii) a tax sharing agreement, and (iii) a transition
services agreement. (See Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Cendant for more information about these
agreements and Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to the Spin-Off Certain arrangements
and agreements that we have entered into with Cendant in
connection with the Spin-Off could impact our tax and other
assets and liabilities in the future, and our financial
statements are subject to future adjustments as a result of our
obligations under those arrangements and agreements.
for a discussion of some of the risks associated with
these agreements.)
Also in connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a tax
sharing agreement with Cendant that contains provisions
governing the allocation of liability for taxes between Cendant
and us, indemnification for certain tax liabilities and
responsibility for preparing and filing tax returns and
defending tax contests, as well as other tax-related matters.
See Item 1. Business Arrangements with
Cendant Tax Sharing Agreement.
Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, our income tax assets and
liabilities may be affected by audits of Cendants prior
tax years. In addition, adjustments to income tax assets and
liabilities may be needed when we receive, from Cendant, the
reconciliation of Cendants filed income tax returns for
the year ended December 31, 2005 to the income tax asset
and liability estimates. See Note 18, Commitments and
Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K. As
such, our financial statements are subject to future adjustments
which may not be fully resolved until we receive, from Cendant,
a reconciliation of the filed tax returns for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (filed in September 2006), to our income
tax assets and liabilities and when audits of Cendants
prior years returns are completed. See Item 1A.
Risk Factors Risks Related to the
Spin-Off Certain arrangements and agreements that we
have entered into with Cendant in
54
connection with the Spin-Off could impact our tax and other
assets and liabilities in the future, and our financial
statements are subject to future adjustments as a result of our
obligations under those arrangements and agreements.
We also entered into several agreements with Cendants real
estate services division prior to the Spin-Off to provide for
the continuation of certain business arrangements, including
(i) the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, (ii) a
strategic relationship agreement, (iii) a marketing
agreement, (iv) a trademark license agreement with PHH
Mortgage and (v) a trademark license agreement with the
Mortgage Venture. (See Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Realogy for a description of these
agreements.) In connection with the Spin-Off, we, through the
PHH Member, and Cendants real estate services division,
through the Realogy Member, formed the Mortgage Venture, the
purpose of which is to originate and sell mortgage loans
primarily sourced through NRT, Cartus and TRG. (See
Item 1. Business Arrangements with
Realogy Mortgage Venture Between Realogy and
PHH for a discussion of the Mortgage Venture.) The
termination of rights under our agreements with Realogy,
including the termination of the Mortgage Venture or of our
exclusivity rights under the strategic relationship agreement or
marketing agreements, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. See
Item 1. Business Arrangements with
Realogy and Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The regulatory environments in which we operate have an impact
on the activities in which we may engage, how the activities may
be carried out and the profitability of those activities. (See
Item 1A. Risk Factors Risks Related to
our Business The businesses in which we engage are
complex and heavily regulated, and changes in the regulatory
environment affecting our businesses could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.) Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage
Servicing segments are subject to numerous federal, state and
local laws and regulations, including those relating to real
estate settlement procedures, fair lending, fair credit
reporting, truth in lending, federal and state disclosure and
licensing. Changes to laws, regulations or regulatory policies
can affect our operations. As discussed in Item 1.
Business Our Business Mortgage Servicing
Segment Mortgage Regulation, RESPA and state
real estate brokerage laws restrict the payment of fees or other
consideration for the referral of real estate settlement
services. The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requires us to
disclose certain information about the mortgage loans we
originate and purchase, such as race and gender of our
customers, the disposition of mortgage applications, income
levels and interest rate (i.e. annual percentage rate)
information. We believe that publication of such information may
lead to heightened scrutiny of all mortgage lenders loan
pricing and underwriting practices. The establishment of the
Mortgage Venture with Realogy formed for the purpose of
originating and selling mortgage loans primarily sourced through
Realogys owned residential real estate brokerage and
corporate relocation businesses, and the continuing relationship
between and among the Mortgage Venture, Realogy and us are
subject to the anti-kickback requirements of RESPA. There can be
no assurance that more restrictive laws, rules and regulations
will not be adopted in the future or that existing laws, rules
and regulations will be applied in a manner that may adversely
impact our business or make regulatory compliance more difficult
or expensive.
Our wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Atrium Insurance
Corporation, a New York domiciled monoline mortgage guaranty
insurance company, is subject to insurance regulations in the
State of New York relating to, among other things, standards of
solvency that must be met and maintained; the licensing of
insurers and their agents; the nature of and limitations on
investments; premium rates; restrictions on the size of risks
that may be insured under a single policy; reserves and
provisions for unearned premiums, losses and other obligations;
deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders;
approval of policy forms and the regulation of market conduct,
including the use of credit information in underwriting; as well
as other underwriting and claims practices. The New York State
Insurance Department also conducts periodic examinations and
requires the filing of annual and other reports relating to the
financial condition of companies and other matters.
As a result of our ownership of Atrium, we are subject to New
Yorks insurance holding company statute, as well as
certain other laws, which, among other things, limit
Atriums ability to declare and pay dividends except from
restricted cash in excess of the aggregate of Atriums
paid-in capital, paid-in surplus and contingency reserve.
Additionally, anyone seeking to acquire, directly or indirectly,
10% or more of Atriums outstanding
55
common stock, or otherwise proposing to engage in a transaction
involving a change in control of Atrium, will be required to
obtain the prior approval of the New York Superintendent of
Insurance.

Mortgage Origination Trends |
The aggregate demand for mortgage loans in the U.S. is a
primary driver of our operating results. The demand for mortgage
loans is affected by external factors including prevailing
mortgage rates and the strength of the U.S. housing market.
According to Fannie Maes Economic and Mortgage Market
Developments, the year ended December 31, 2005
represented historically high industry originations of
approximately $3.0 trillion. As of October 2006, Economic and
Mortgage Market Developments forecasted a decline in
industry originations during 2006 of approximately 18% from 2005
levels. Also according to Economic and Mortgage Market
Developments, purchase originations during 2006 are expected
to decline by approximately 4% from 2005 levels. We expect lower
origination volume, ongoing pricing pressures and a flat yield
curve to negatively impact the results of operations of our
Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments for 2006 and
2007. We expect to continue to seek to reduce costs in these
segments to better align our resources and expenses with
anticipated business levels. We believe the mortgage industry
will become increasingly competitive in 2007 as industry margins
and volumes contract due to higher interest rates and other
competitive factors. We intend to take advantage of this
environment by leveraging our existing mortgage origination
services platform to enter into new outsourcing relationships as
more companies determine that it is no longer economically
feasible to compete in the industry, but there can be no
assurance that we will be successful in this effort.
Our Mortgage Production segment is generally subject to seasonal
trends. These seasonal trends reflect the pattern in the
national housing market. Home sales typically rise during the
spring and summer seasons and decline during the fall and winter
seasons. Seasonality has less of an effect on mortgage
refinancing activity, which is primarily driven by prevailing
mortgage rates. Our Mortgage Servicing segment is not generally
subject to seasonal trends; however, delinquency rates typically
rise temporarily during the winter months, driven by mortgagor
payment patterns.
An increase in inflation could have a significant impact on our
Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments. Interest
rates normally increase during periods of rising inflation.
Historically, as interest rates increase, mortgage loan
production decreases, particularly production from loan
refinancing. An environment of gradual interest rate increases
may, however, signify an improving economy or increasing real
estate values, which in turn may stimulate increased home buying
activity. Generally, in periods of reduced mortgage loan
production the associated profit margins also decline due to
increased competition among mortgage loan originators and higher
unit costs, thus further reducing our mortgage production
revenues. Conversely in a rising interest rate environment, our
mortgage loan servicing revenues generally increase because
mortgage prepayment rates tend to decrease, extending the
average life of our servicing portfolio and reducing the
amortization and impairment of our MSRs. See discussion below
under Market, Credit and Counterparty
Risk and Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to our Business Our business is
affected by fluctuations in interest rates, and if we fail to
manage our exposure to changes in interest rates effectively,
our business, financial position, results of operations or cash
flows could be adversely affected.

Fleet Management Services Segment |
We provide fleet management services to corporate clients and
government agencies. These services include management and
leasing of vehicles and other fee-based services for
clients vehicle fleets. We lease vehicles primarily to
corporate fleet users under open-end operating and direct
financing lease arrangements where the customer bears
substantially all of the vehicles residual value risk. In
limited circumstances, we lease vehicles under closed-end leases
where we bear all of the vehicles residual value risk. The
lease term under the open-end lease agreements provide for a
minimum lease term of twelve months and after the minimum term,
the leases may be continued at the lessees election for
successive monthly renewals. For operating leases, lease
revenues,
56
which contain a depreciation component, an interest component
and a management fee component, are recognized over the lease
term of the vehicle, which encompasses the minimum lease term
and the month-to-month
renewals. For direct financing leases, lease revenues contain an
interest component and a management fee component. The interest
component is recognized using the effective interest method over
the lease term of the vehicle, which encompasses the minimum
lease term and the
month-to-month
renewals. Amounts charged to the lessees for interest are
determined in accordance with the pricing supplement to the
respective lease agreement and are generally calculated on a
floating-rate basis that varies
month-to-month in
accordance with changes in the floating-rate index. Amounts
charged to lessees for interest may also be based on a fixed
rate that would remain constant for the life of the lease.
Amounts charged to the lessees for depreciation are typically
based on the straight-line depreciation of the vehicle over its
expected lease term. Management fees are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Revenue for
other services is recognized when such services are provided to
the lessee.
We sell certain of our truck and equipment leases to third-party
banks and individual financial institutions. When we sell
operating leases, we sell the underlying assets and assign any
rights to the leases, including future leasing revenues, to the
banks or financial institutions. Upon the transfer of the title
and the assignment of the rights associated with the operating
leases, we record the proceeds from the sale as revenue and
recognize an expense for the undepreciated cost of the assets
sold. Under certain of these sales agreements, we retain some
residual risk in connection with the fair value of the asset at
lease termination.
The market size for the U.S. commercial fleet management
services market has displayed little or no growth over the last
several years as reported by the Automotive Fleet 2005, 2004
and 2003 Fact Books. Growth in our Fleet Management Services
segment will therefore be driven principally by increased
fee-based services, increased market share in the large fleet
market (greater than 500 units) and increased service
provided to the national fleet market (75 to 500 units).
Our Fleet Management Services segment could be liable for
damages in connection with motor vehicle accidents under the
theory of vicarious liability in certain jurisdictions in which
we do business. Under this theory, companies that lease motor
vehicles may be subject to liability for the tortious acts of
their lessees, even in situations where the leasing company has
not been negligent. Our Fleet Management Services segment is
subject to unlimited liability as the owner of leased vehicles
in two major provinces in Canada and is subject to limited
liability (e.g., in the event of a lessees failure to meet
certain insurance or financial responsibility requirements) in
the Province of Ontario and as many as fifteen jurisdictions in
the United States. Although our lease contracts require that
each lessee indemnifies us against such liabilities, in the
event that a lessee lacks adequate insurance coverage or
financial resources to satisfy these indemnity provisions we
could be liable for property damage or injuries caused by the
vehicles that we lease.
On August 10, 2005, a new federal law was enacted in the
United States which preempted those state vicarious liability
laws that imposed unlimited liability on a vehicle lessor. This
law, however, does not preempt existing state laws that impose
limited liability on a vehicle lessor in the event that certain
insurance or financial responsibility requirements for the
leased vehicles are not met. Prior to the enactment of this law,
our Fleet Management Services segment was subject to unlimited
liability in the states of New York and Maine and the District
of Columbia. It is unclear at this time whether any of these
three jurisdictions will enact legislation imposing limited or
an alternative form of liability on vehicle lessors. In
addition, the scope, application and enforceability of the new
federal law have not been fully tested. For example, a state
trial court in New York has ruled that the law is
unconstitutional. The ultimate disposition of this New York case
and its impact on the new federal law are uncertain at this time.
Additionally, a new law was recently enacted in the Province of
Ontario setting a cap of $1,000,000 on a lessors liability
for personal injuries for accidents occurring on or after
March 1, 2006. The scope, application and enforceability of
this new provincial law also have not been fully tested.
57
The results of operations of our Fleet Management Services
segment are generally not seasonal.
Inflation does not have a significant impact on our Fleet
Management Services segment.

Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk |
We are exposed to market, credit and counterparty risks. See
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market
Risk
Interest Rate Risk and Item 1A. Risk
Factors
Risks Related to our
Business
Our business is affected by fluctuations in interest
rates, and if we fail to manage our exposure to changes in
interest rates effectively, our business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows could be adversely
affected. and Our hedging strategies may
not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with
changes in interest rates.
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk. We have
particular exposure to long-term U.S. Treasury
(Treasury) and mortgage interest rates, due to their
impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments. We also have
exposure to the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and commercial paper interest rates due to
their impact on variable-rate borrowings, other interest rate
sensitive liabilities and net investment in floating-rate lease
assets. We manage our interest rate risk through various
economic hedging strategies and derivative instruments,
including interest rate swaps, caps and floors, options to
purchase these items, futures and forward contracts.
While the majority of the mortgage loans serviced by us are sold
without recourse, we are exposed to consumer credit risk related
to loans sold with recourse. The majority of the loans sold with
recourse represent sales under a program where we retain the
credit risk for a limited period of time and only for a specific
default event. The retained credit risk represents the unpaid
principal balance of mortgage loans. For these loans, we record
an allowance for estimated losses, which is determined based
upon our history of actual loss experience under the program.
This allowance and the related activity are not significant to
our results of operations or financial position. We are also
exposed to credit risk for our clients under the lease and
service agreements they have with PHH Arval.
We are exposed to counterparty risk in the event of
non-performance by counterparties to various agreements and
sales transactions. We manage such risk by evaluating the
financial position and creditworthiness of potential
counterparties and/or requiring collateral in instances in which
financing is provided. We generally mitigate counterparty risk
associated with our derivative contracts by periodically
monitoring the amount for which we are at risk with respect to
such contracts, requiring collateral posting above established
credit limits, periodically evaluating counterparty
creditworthiness and financial position, and where possible,
dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties.

During 2005, our Net revenues increased by $74 million (3%)
compared to 2004, due to $133 million and $117 million
increases in Net revenues for our Fleet Management Services and
Mortgage Servicing segments, respectively, partially offset by a
$176 million decrease in Net revenues for our Mortgage
Production segment. Our Income from continuing operations before
income taxes and minority interest during 2005 included
$41 million of Spin-Off related expenses, which were
excluded from the results of our reportable segments. These
Spin-Off related expenses, a $127 million decrease in
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interest for the Mortgage Production segment and a
$5 million increase in other expenses not allocated to our
reportable segments were partially offset by increases of
$128 million and $32 million of Income from continuing
operations before income taxes and minority interest for the
Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services segments,
respectively.
Our effective income tax rates were 54.7% and 45.3% during 2005
and 2004, respectively. The increase in the effective rate in
2005 from 2004 was primarily due to increases in a contingency
reserve of $15 million and state income taxes of
$9 million due to an increase in weighted-average state
income tax rates that were partially offset by changes in
valuation allowances in 2005. The increase in weighted-average
state income tax rates was due in part to PHH Mortgages
classification for state income tax purposes as a financial
institution in certain states that were recorded in 2005 that
were partially offset by changes in valuation allowances in 2005.
We devoted substantial internal and external resources to the
completion of our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements and
related matters. As a result of these efforts, along with
efforts to complete our assessment of internal controls over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, as required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we incurred
incremental fees and expenses for additional auditor services,
financial and other consulting services, legal services and
liquidity waivers of approximately $35 million to
$40 million through October 31, 2006, of which
$12 million was recorded in 2005. While we do not expect
fees and expenses relating to the preparation of our financial
results for future periods to remain at this level, we expect
that these fees and expenses will remain significantly higher
than historical fees and expenses for the remainder of 2006 and
into 2007.
Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our
reportable segments. Certain income and expenses not allocated
to our reportable segments are reported under the heading Other.
Due to the commencement of operations of the Mortgage Venture in
the fourth quarter of 2005, our management began evaluating the
operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon
Net revenues and segment profit or loss, which is
59
presented as the income or loss from continuing operations
before income tax provisions and after Minority interest. The
Mortgage Production segment profit or loss excludes
Realogys minority interest in the profits and losses of
the Mortgage Venture. Prior to the commencement of the Mortgage
Venture operations, PHH Mortgage was party to marketing
agreements with NRT and Cendant Mobility (now Cartus), wherein
PHH Mortgage paid fees for services provided. These marketing
agreements terminated when the Mortgage Venture commenced
operations. The provisions of the strategic relationship
agreement and the marketing agreement thereafter began to govern
the manner in which the Mortgage Venture and PHH Mortgage,
respectively, are recommended by Realogy. (See
Item 1.
Business
Arrangements with
Realogy
Strategic Relationship Agreement and
Marketing Agreements for a discussion of
the terms on which the Mortgage Venture and PHH Mortgage are
recommended by Realogy.)

|
|
|
Mortgage Production Segment |
Net revenues decreased by $176 million (25%) in 2005
compared to 2004. As discussed in greater detail below, Net
revenues were impacted by decreases of $105 million in Gain
on sale of mortgage loans, net, $41 million in Mortgage
fees, $23 million in Mortgage net finance income and
$7 million in Other income.
Segment profit decreased by $126 million in 2005 compared
to 2004 driven by the $176 million decrease in Net
revenues, which was partially offset by a $49 million
decrease in Total expenses. The $49 million reduction in
Total expenses was primarily due to decreases in Other operating
expenses of $25 million and Salaries and related expenses
of $16 million.

Mortgage fees consist primarily of fees collected on loans
originated for others (including brokered loans and loans
originated through our financial institutions channel), fees on
cancelled loans, and appraisal and other income generated by our
appraisal services business. Mortgage fees collected on loans
originated through our financial institutions channel are
recorded in Mortgage fees when the financial institution retains
the underlying loan. Loans purchased from financial institutions
are included in loans closed to be sold while loans retained by
financial institutions are included in fee-based closings.
Fee income on loans closed to be sold is deferred until the
loans are sold and recognized in Gain on sale of mortgage loans,
net in accordance with SFAS No. 91, Accounting
for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or
Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases
(SFAS No. 91). Fee income on fee-based
closings is recorded in Mortgage fees and is recognized at the
time of closing.
Loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings are the key
drivers of Mortgage fees. Fees generated by our appraisal
services business are recorded when the services are performed,
regardless of whether the loan closes and are associated with
both loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings.
Mortgage fees decreased by $41 million (18%) from 2004 to
2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in
fee-based closings of 34%, partially offset by a 5% increase in
loans closed to be sold. The change in mix between fee-based
closings and loans closed to be sold was primarily due to the
flat yield curve, which caused our financial institution clients
to retain fewer loans in their portfolio in 2005 compared to
2004. Of the $4.4 billion decline in total closings,
$1.8 billion was attributable to a decline in refinancing
activity from 2004 to 2005. Refinancing activity is sensitive to
interest rate changes relative to borrowers current
interest rates, and typically increases when interest rates fall
and decreases when interest rates rise. Purchase closings
decreased by $2.6 billion over the same period. Total
originations in 2005 compared to 2004 were adversely affected by
the loss of the Fleet Bank relationship resulting from Bank of
Americas acquisition of Fleet Bank and a decline in volume
from USAA, which insourced its mortgage originations during 2004.

|
Gain on Sale of Mortgage Loans, Net |
Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net consists of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Gain on loans sold, including the changes in the fair value of
all loan-related derivatives including our interest rate lock
commitments (IRLCs), freestanding loan-related
derivatives and loan derivatives designated in a hedge
relationship. See Note 11, Derivatives and Risk
Management Activities in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K. To the
extent the derivatives are considered effective hedges under
SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair value of the
mortgage loans would be recorded; |
|
|
|
The initial value of capitalized servicing, which represents a
non-cash increase to our MSRs. Subsequent changes in the fair
value of MSRs are recorded in Net loan servicing income; and |
|
|
|
Recognition of net loan origination fees and expenses previously
deferred under SFAS No. 91. |
The components of Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net were as

Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net decreased by
$105 million (26%) in 2005 compared to 2004. Lower initial
capitalization rates of our MSRs caused $58 million of this
decline, as our initial capitalization rate related to mortgage
loans sold declined by approximately 18 basis points
(bps) in 2005 compared to 2004. This decrease in the
initial capitalization rate was partially offset by a
$3.1 billion increase in loans sold, which increased the
initial value of capitalized servicing by $36 million.
Gains on loans sold net of the recognition of deferred fees and
costs (the effects of SFAS No. 91) declined by
$82 million in 2005 compared to 2004. Of this
$82 million decline, $76 million is due to a decline
in margins on loans sold during 2005. Typically, when industry
loan volumes decline due to a rising interest rate environment
or other factors, competitive pricing pressures occur as
mortgage companies compete for fewer customers, which results in
lower margins. The remaining $6 million of the decline was
the result of economic hedge ineffectiveness resulting from our
risk management activities related to IRLCs and mortgage loans,
which yielded losses of approximately $29 million in 2004
and losses of approximately $35 million in 2005.
|
|
|
Mortgage Net Finance Income |
Mortgage net finance income allocable to the Mortgage Production
segment consists of interest income on MLHS and interest expense
allocated on debt used to fund MLHS and is driven by the average
volume of loans held for sale, the average volume of outstanding
borrowings, the note rate on loans held for sale and the cost of
funds rate of our outstanding borrowings. Mortgage net finance
income allocable to the Mortgage Production segment declined by
$23 million (39%) in 2005 compared to 2004, largely because
of the flattening of the yield curve in 2005 compared to 2004.
Of this decline, approximately $47 million related to
increased Mortgage interest expense, $59 million of which
was attributable to a higher cost of funds from our outstanding
borrowings, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in
Mortgage interest expense due to lower average borrowings. A
significant portion of our loan originations are funded with
variable-rate short-term debt. At December 31, 2005 and
2004, one-month LIBOR, which is used as a benchmark for
short-term rates, was 4.48% and 2.40%, respectively, which was
an increase of 208 bps. The increase in Mortgage interest
expense was partially offset by a $24 million increase in
Mortgage interest income primarily due to higher note rates
associated with loans held for sale. These increases were
partially offset by lower average loans held for sale.
Other income allocable to the Mortgage Production segment
decreased by $7 million (70%) in 2005 compared to 2004.
This decrease was primarily attributable to the receipt of a
one-time payment during 2004 associated with the termination of
the Fleet Bank relationship resulting from Bank of
Americas acquisition of Fleet Bank.
|
|
|
Salaries and Related Expenses |
Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage
Production segment are reflected net of loan origination costs
deferred under SFAS No. 91 and consist of commissions
paid to employees involved in the loan origination process, as
well as compensation, payroll taxes and benefits paid to
employees in our mortgage production operations and allocations
for overhead. Salaries and related expenses decreased by
$16 million (6%) in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to
a decrease in average staffing levels due to lower origination
volumes that was partially offset by higher average salaries and
a $9 million increase in incentive bonus expense recorded
during 2005 that was not incurred in 2004.
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production
segment are reflected net of loan origination costs deferred
under SFAS No. 91 and consist of production-direct
expenses, appraisal expense and allocations for overhead. Other
operating expenses decreased by $25 million (11%) during
2005 compared to 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable
to an 8% decrease in loans closed during 2005 compared to those
closed during 2004.

|
Mortgage Servicing Segment |
Net revenues increased by $117 million (98%) in 2005
compared to 2004. As discussed in greater detail below,
favorable changes in Amortization and valuation adjustments
related to MSRs, net of $83 million and an increase in
Mortgage net finance income of $46 million were partially
offset by decreases in Other income of $6 million and Loan
servicing income of $6 million.
Segment profit increased by $128 million in 2005 compared
to 2004 driven by the $117 million increase in Net revenues
and an $11 million decrease in Total expenses. The
$11 million reduction in Total expenses was primarily due
to a $6 million decrease in Other operating expenses and a
decrease in Salaries and related expenses of $2 million.
The following tables present a summary of our financial results
and key related drivers for the Mortgage Servicing segment, and
are followed by a discussion of each of the key components of
Net revenues and Total expenses:

Mortgage Net Finance Income |
Mortgage net finance income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing
segment consists of interest income credits from escrow
balances, interest income from investment balances (including
investments held by our
64
reinsurance subsidiary) and interest expense allocated on debt
used to fund our MSRs, and is driven by the average volume of
outstanding borrowings and the cost of funds rate of our
outstanding borrowings. Mortgage net finance income increased by
$46 million (418%) in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due
to higher income from escrow balances, partially offset by
higher interest expense on debt allocated to the funding of
MSRs. These increases were primarily due to higher short-term
interest rates in 2005 compared to 2004 since the escrow
balances earn income based upon one-month LIBOR.
Loan servicing income includes recurring servicing fees, other
ancillary fees and net reinsurance income from our wholly owned
reinsurance subsidiary, Atrium. Recurring servicing fees are
recognized upon receipt of the coupon payment from the borrower
and recorded net of guaranty fees. Net reinsurance income
represents premiums earned on reinsurance contracts, net of
ceding commission and adjustments to the allowance for
reinsurance losses. The primary driver for servicing income is
average loan servicing portfolio.
The components of Loan servicing income were as follows:

Loan servicing income decreased by $6 million (1%) from
2004 to 2005. This decrease primarily related to higher
curtailment interest paid to investors during 2005 due to an
increase in loan payoffs during 2005, as well as a decrease in
net reinsurance income during 2005 compared to 2004. These
decreases were partially offset by higher servicing fees due to
the higher average servicing portfolio during 2005.

Amortization and Valuation Adjustments Related to MSRs,
Net |
Amortization and valuation adjustments related to MSRs, net
includes Amortization of MSRs, Recovery of (provision for)
impairment of MSRs and Net derivative (loss) gain related to
MSRs. The favorable change of $83 million (22%) from 2004
to 2005 was attributable to a $430 million favorable change
in the valuation of our MSRs, partially offset by a
$199 million unfavorable change in net derivative gains and
losses and $148 million of higher MSRs amortization. The
components of Amortization and valuation adjustments related to
MSRs, net are discussed separately below.
Amortization of MSRs: We amortize our MSRs based on the
ratio of current month net servicing income (estimated at the
beginning of the month) to the expected net servicing income
over the life of the servicing portfolio. The amortization rate
is applied to the gross book value of the MSRs to determine
amortization expense. The application of the amortization rate
to the gross book value resulted in higher amortization expense
being offset by a recovery of the MSRs valuation by
approximately $94 million. Amortization of our MSRs
increased by $148 million (52%) during 2005 compared to
2004. The increase in amortization expense was primarily
attributable to a higher amortization rate due to a decline in
the beginning weighted-average life of the portfolio resulting
from a flattening of the yield curve in 2005 compared to 2004.
Recovery of (Provision for) Impairment of MSRs: The fair
value of our MSRs is estimated based upon estimates of expected
future cash flows from our MSRs considering prepayment
estimates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on
interest rate yield curves, implied volatility 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
65
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 MSRs valuation. The
MSRs valuation is validated quarterly by comparison to a
third-party market valuation of our portfolio.
During 2005, the Recovery of impairment of MSRs valuation was
$216 million, a favorable change of $430 million
(201%) from 2004. This favorable change was primarily due to the
increase in mortgage interest rates during 2005 leading to lower
expected prepayments. The
10-year Treasury rate,
which is widely regarded as a benchmark for mortgage rates,
increased by 18 bps during 2005. Conversely, the
10-year Treasury rate
decreased by 4 bps in 2004. Additionally, the spread
between mortgage coupon rates and the underlying risk-free
interest rate increased during 2005. The increase in mortgage
spreads also had a favorable impact on the Recovery of
impairment of MSRs.
Net Derivative (Loss) Gain Related to MSRs: We use a
combination of derivatives to protect against potential adverse
changes in the value of our MSRs resulting from a decline in
interest rates. See Note 11, Derivatives and Risk
Management Activities in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K. The
amount and composition of derivatives used will depend on the
exposure to loss of value on our MSRs, the expected cost of the
derivatives and the increased earnings generated by origination
of new loans resulting from the decline in interest rates (the
natural business hedge). The natural business hedge provides a
benefit when increased borrower refinancing activity results in
higher production volumes which would partially offset losses in
the valuation of our MSRs thereby reducing the need to use
derivatives. The benefit of the natural business hedge depends
on the decline in interest rates required to create an incentive
for borrowers to refinance their mortgages and lower their rates.
During 2005, the value of derivatives related to our MSRs
decreased by $82 million. In 2004, the value of derivatives
related to our MSRs increased by $117 million. Our net
results from MSRs risk management activities for 2005 was a gain
of $40 million as described below. Refer to
Item 7A. 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 our MSRs and related derivatives at
December 31, 2005.

management activities:

Other income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment
consists primarily of net gains or losses on investment
securities and decreased by $6 million in 2005 compared to
2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to gains on the
sale of investment securities that occurred in 2004, whereas no
marketable securities were sold in 2005.
|
|
|
Salaries and Related Expenses |
Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage
Servicing segment consist of compensation, payroll taxes and
benefits paid to employees in our mortgage loan servicing
operations and allocations for overhead. Salaries and related
expenses decreased by $2 million (6%) in 2005 compared to
2004. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average
staffing levels despite the 3% increase in the average loan
servicing portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by a
$2 million increase in incentive bonus expense recorded
during 2005 that was not incurred in 2004, as well as higher
average salaries.
66
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Servicing
segment include servicing-direct expenses, costs associated with
foreclosure and real estate owned (REO) and
allocations for overhead. Other operating expenses decreased by
$6 million (12%) during 2005 compared to 2004. This
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreclosure
costs primarily related to improvements in the performance of
our loans sold with recourse.

|
Fleet Management Services Segment |
On February 27, 2004, we acquired First Fleet. Accordingly,
our results for 2005 included a full year of First Fleet
activity compared to ten months of activity included in 2004.
The impact of the additional two months of First Fleet profit in
2005 was not material to the results of operations for our Fleet
Management Services segment.
Net revenues increased by $133 million (8%) in 2005
compared to 2004. As discussed in greater detail below, the
increase in Net revenues was primarily due to increases of
$111 million in Fleet lease income and $15 million in
Fleet management fees.
Segment profit increased by $32 million (67%) in 2005
compared to 2004 due to the $133 million increase in Net
revenues, partially offset by a $101 million increase in
Total expenses.
The following tables present a summary of our financial results
and related drivers for the Fleet Management Services segment,
and are followed by a discussion of each of the key components
of our Net revenues and Total expenses:

Fleet management fees consist primarily of the revenues of our
principal fee-based products: fuel cards, maintenance services,
accident management services and monthly management fees for
leased vehicles. Fleet management fees increased by
$15 million (11%) in 2005 compared to 2004, due to
increases in all four major revenue drivers, which accounted for
$12 million of the increase. Individual fees increased in
line with our unit count growth. Total growth was enhanced as
the result of higher revenues due to higher average transactions
for both maintenance service cards and fuel cards and higher
subrogation recovery for our clients.
Fleet lease income increased by $111 million (8%) during
2005 compared to 2004 due to higher total lease billings
resulting from the 3% increase in leased vehicles. Increased
depreciation billed as a result of increased leased unit counts
and increased Fleet interest expense on our variable-interest
rate funded leases added to Fleet lease income.
Other income consists principally of the revenue generated by
our dealerships and other miscellaneous revenues. Other income
increased by $7 million (8%) during 2005 compared to 2004,
primarily due to a $5 million increase in interest income
and a $2 million increase in net truck remarketing revenue.
|
|
|
Salaries and Related Expenses |
Salaries and related expenses increased by $10 million
(13%) compared to 2004, primarily due to increased wages and
increased staffing levels.
|
|
|
Depreciation on Operating Leases |
Depreciation on operating leases is the depreciation expense
associated with our leased asset portfolio. Depreciation on
operating leases during 2005 increased by $56 million (5%)
compared to 2004, primarily due to the 3% increase in leased
units and higher average depreciation expense on replaced
vehicles in the existing vehicle portfolio. These increases were
partially offset by an increase in motor company monies retained
by the business and recognized during 2005, which are accounted
for as adjustments to the basis of the leased units and increase
as volumes increase.
Fleet interest expense increased by $34 million (32%)
during 2005 compared to 2004. The increase in Fleet interest
expense was primarily due to rising short-term interest rates.
Debt is utilized to fund the domestic fleet leases, of which
approximately 77% are floating-rate leases, whereby the interest
component of the lease billing changes with the movement of
certain floating-rate indices. The increase in Fleet interest
expense resulting from the higher interest rates was partially
offset by a $28 million decrease due to lower debt levels
resulting from certain capital structure adjustments made in
connection with the Spin-Off.

During 2004, our Net revenues decreased by $239 million
(9%) compared to 2003, due to a $778 million decrease in
Net revenues for our Mortgage Production segment that was
partially offset by $330 million and $209 million
increases in Net revenues for our Mortgage Servicing and Fleet
Management Services segments, respectively. Our income from
continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest
during 2003 included a $102 million goodwill impairment
charge associated with the Fleet Management Services business,
which was excluded from the results of our reportable segments.
The $161 million (48%) decrease in Income from continuing
operations before income taxes and minority interest from 2003
to 2004 was due to a $630 million decrease in Income from
continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest
from our Mortgage Production segment that was partially offset
by the goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2003, increases of
$351 million and $8 million in Income from continuing
operations before income taxes and minority interest for our
Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services segments,
respectively, and an $8 million decrease in other expenses
not allocated to our reportable segments. Our overall effective
tax rate was 45.3% and 52.9% for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The difference in the effective tax rates was primarily due to
the $102 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in
2003, $96 million of which was not deductible for federal
and state income tax purposes, that was partially offset by
valuation allowances established in 2004, relating principally
to state net operating losses.
69
Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our
reportable segments. Certain income and expenses not allocated
to our reportable segments are reported under the heading Other.
Due to the commencement of operations of the Mortgage Venture in
the fourth quarter of 2005, our management began evaluating the
operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon
Net revenues and segment profit or loss, which is presented as
the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax
provisions and after Minority interest.

As there was no Minority interest recorded in the Consolidated
Financial Statements during the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003, segment profit equaled Income from continuing
operations before income taxes and minority interest during
those periods. |

Expenses reported under the heading Other for 2003 were
primarily a goodwill impairment charge of $102 million for
the Fleet Management Services segment. |
|
|
|
Mortgage Production Segment |
Net revenues decreased by $778 million (53%) during 2004
compared to 2003. As discussed in greater detail below, the
decrease in Net revenues was due to decreases in Gain on sale of
mortgage loans, net of $642 million, Mortgage fees of
$93 million and Mortgage net finance income of
$51 million that were partially offset by an
$8 million increase in Other income.
Segment profit decreased by $630 million (85%) during 2004
compared to 2003, primarily due to the $778 million
decrease in Net revenues that was partially offset by a
$148 million decrease in Total expenses.

Mortgage fees consist primarily of fees collected on loans
originated for others (including brokered loans and loans
originated through our financial institutions channel), fees on
cancelled loans, and appraisal and other income generated by our
appraisal services business. Mortgage fees collected on loans
originated through our financial institutions channel are
recorded in Mortgage fees when the financial institution retains
the underlying
71
loan. Loans purchased from financial institutions are included
in loans closed to be sold while loans retained by financial
institutions are included in fee-based closings.
Fee income on loans closed to be sold is deferred until the
loans are sold and recognized in Gain on sale of mortgage loans,
net in accordance with SFAS No. 91. Fee income on
fee-based closings is recorded in Mortgage fees and is
recognized at the time of closing.
Loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings are the key
drivers of Mortgage fees. Fees generated by our appraisal
services business are recorded when the services are performed,
regardless of whether the loan closes and are associated with
both loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings.
Mortgage fees decreased by $93 million (29%) during 2004
compared to 2003, which was attributed to the decline in closed
loan volumes of $31.1 billion (37%) between the two
periods, partially offset by higher mortgage fees per loan. Of
the decline in loan closings, $30.8 billion was attributed
to a decline in refinance activity during 2004 compared to 2003.
Refinancing activity is sensitive to interest rate changes
relative to borrowers current interest rates, and
typically increases when interest rates fall and decreases when
interest rates rise. Accordingly, many borrowers had refinanced
their mortgages prior to 2004 at rates that were at or below
2004 levels. Purchase closings decreased by $357 million
(1%) over the same period.
|
|
|
Gain on Sale of Mortgage Loans, Net |
Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net consists of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Gain on loans sold, including the changes in the fair value of
all loan-related derivatives including our IRLCs, freestanding
loan-related derivatives and loan derivatives designated in a
hedge relationship. See Note 11, Derivatives and Risk
Management Activities in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K. To the
extent the derivatives are considered effective hedges under
SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair value of the mortgage
loans would be recorded; |
|
|
|
The initial value of capitalized servicing and other retained
interests, which represents a non-cash increase to our MSRs.
Subsequent changes in the fair value and servicing income
related to the MSRs are recorded in Net loan servicing income;
and |
|
|
|
Recognition of net loan origination fees and expenses previously
deferred under SFAS No. 91. |
The components of Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net were as

Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net decreased by
$642 million (61%) during 2004 compared to 2003. Of this
decrease, $476 million related to the decrease in loans
sold of $27.1 billion (45%) between 2004 and 2003, and the
remaining $166 million decline was a result of lower
margins on loans sold during 2004. The lower margins were the
results of competitive pricing pressures as well as changes in
product mix. Typically, when industry loan volumes decline,
competitive pricing pressures occur as mortgage companies
compete for fewer customers, resulting in lower margins.
|
|
|
Mortgage Net Finance Income |
Mortgage net finance income allocable to the Mortgage Production
segment consists of interest income on MLHS and interest expense
allocated on debt used to fund MLHS, and is driven by the
average volume of loans held for sale, the average volume of
outstanding borrowings, the note rate on loans held for sale,
and the cost of
72
funds rate of our outstanding borrowings. Mortgage net finance
income allocable to the Mortgage Production segment declined by
$51 million (46%) during 2004 compared to 2003. The decline
in Mortgage interest income of $60 million (28%) was
primarily due to a reduction in interest income on loans held
for sale due to the lower amount of loans closed to be sold that
was partially offset by the impact of higher average note rates
associated with those loans. The decline in Mortgage interest
income was partially offset by a $9 million reduction in
Mortgage interest expense allocated to the funding of loans held
for sale, which was attributable to the lower volume of loans
held for sale, partially offset by the impact of higher
short-term interest rates.
Other income increased by $8 million (400%) during 2004
compared to 2003, primarily due to the receipt of a one-time
payment during 2004 associated with the termination of the Fleet
Bank relationship resulting from Bank of Americas
acquisition of Fleet Bank.
|
|
|
Salaries and Related Expenses |
Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage
Production segment are reflected net of loan origination costs
deferred under SFAS No. 91 and consist of commissions
paid to employees involved in the loan origination process, as
well as compensation, payroll taxes and benefits paid to
employees in our mortgage production operations and allocations
for overhead. The $74 million (21%) decrease in Salaries
and related expenses during 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily
due to decreases in net commission and salary expense related to
the decline in loan closings, coupled with lower incentive bonus
expense recorded in 2004 as compared to 2003.
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production
segment are reflected net of loan origination costs deferred
under SFAS No. 91 and consist of production-direct
expenses, appraisal expense and allocations for overhead. Other
operating expenses decreased by $69 million (23%) during
2004 compared to 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable
to the $31.1 billion decline in total loan closings.
|
|
|
Mortgage Servicing Segment |
Net revenues increased by $330 million during 2004 compared
to 2003. As discussed in greater detail below, the increase in
Net revenues was primarily due to increases in Amortization and
valuation adjustments related to MSRs, net of $270 million
and Loan servicing income of $64 million, partially offset
by a $10 million decrease in Mortgage net finance income.
Segment profit increased by $351 million during 2004
compared to 2003 driven by the $330 million increase in Net
revenues and a $21 million decrease in Total expenses.
The following tables present a summary of our financial results
and key related drivers for the Mortgage Servicing segment, and
are followed by a discussion of each of the key components of
Net revenues and Total expenses:

Mortgage Net Finance Income |
Mortgage net finance income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing
segment consists of interest income credits from escrow
balances, interest income from investment balances (including
investments held by our reinsurance subsidiary) and interest
expense allocated on debt used to fund our MSRs, and is driven
by the average volume of outstanding borrowings and the cost of
funds rate of our outstanding borrowings. Mortgage net finance
income declined by $10 million (48%) during 2004 compared
to 2003, primarily due to a decrease in income from escrow
balances, as well as higher Mortgage interest expense on debt
allocated to fund MSRs. The decrease in income from escrow
balances was due to a reduction in the amount of escrow balances
held, partially offset by the impact of increasing short-term
interest rates during 2004 compared to 2003. This increase in
Interest expense on debt allocated to fund MSRs was also due to
increasing short-term interest rates during 2004 compared to
2003.
Loan servicing income includes recurring servicing fees, other
ancillary fees and net reinsurance income from our wholly owned
reinsurance subsidiary, Atrium. Recurring servicing fees are
recognized upon receipt of the coupon payment from the borrower
and recorded net of guaranty fees. Net reinsurance income
represents premiums earned on reinsurance contracts, net of
ceding commission and adjustments to the allowance for
reinsurance losses. The primary driver for servicing income is
average loan servicing portfolio.

Amortization and Valuation Adjustments Related to MSRs,
Net |
Amortization and valuation adjustments related to MSRs, net
includes Amortization of MSRs, Provision for impairment of MSRs
and Net derivative gain related to MSRs. The favorable change of
$270 million (41%) from 2003 to 2004 was attributed to a
$307 million decline in amortization of MSRs, coupled with
a $9 million favorable change in the valuation of our MSRs
and a $46 million decline in net derivative gains. The
components of Amortization and valuation adjustments related to
MSRs, net are discussed separately below.
Amortization of MSRs: We amortize our MSRs based on the
ratio of net servicing income to the expected net servicing
income over the life of the servicing portfolio. The
amortization rate is applied to the gross book value of the MSRs
to determine amortization expense. The application of the
amortization rate to the gross book value resulted in higher
amortization expense being offset by a recovery of the MSRs
valuation by approximately $61 million in 2004 and
$140 million in 2003. Amortization of our MSRs decreased by
$307 million (52%) during 2004 compared to 2003. The
decrease in amortization expense was primarily attributed to a
lower amortization rate in 2004 compared to 2003 due to a higher
weighted-average life during each amortization period.
Provision for Impairment of MSRs: The fair value of our
MSRs is estimated based upon estimates of expected future cash
flows from our MSRs considering prepayment estimates, portfolio
characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield
curves, implied volatility 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 MSRs valuation. The
MSRs valuation is validated quarterly by comparison to a
third-party market valuation of our portfolio.
During 2004, the Provision for impairment of MSRs valuation was
$214 million, a favorable change of $9 million (4%)
from 2003. The impairment in 2004 was primarily due to a
flattening of the yield curve during 2004.
Net Derivative Gain Related to MSRs: We use a combination
of derivatives to protect against potential adverse changes in
the value of our MSRs resulting from a decline in interest
rates. See Note 11, Derivatives and Risk Management
Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K. The
amount and composition of derivatives used will depend on the
exposure to loss of value on our MSRs, the expected cost of the
derivatives and the increased earnings generated by origination
of new loans resulting from the decline in interest rates (the
natural business hedge). The natural business hedge provides a
benefit when increased borrower refinancing activity results in
higher production volumes which would partially offset losses in
the valuation of our MSRs thereby reducing the need to use
derivatives. The benefit of the natural business hedge depends
on the decline in interest rates required to create an incentive
for borrowers to refinance their mortgages and lower their rates.
75
During 2004, the value of derivatives related to our MSRs
increased by $117 million. During 2003, the value of
derivatives related to our MSRs increased by $163 million.
Our net results from MSRs risk management activities for 2004
was a loss of $158 million as described below.

activities:

Other income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment
consists primarily of net gains on investment securities and
increased by $6 million during 2004 compared to 2003,
primarily due to higher gains on the sale of investment
securities during 2004.
|
|
|
Salaries and Related Expenses |
Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage
Servicing segment consist of compensation, payroll taxes and
benefits paid to employees in our mortgage loan servicing
operations and allocations for overhead. The $4 million
(10%) decrease in Salaries and related expenses during 2004
compared to 2003 was primarily due to lower incentive bonus
payments in 2004 as compared to 2003 and lower general and
administrative costs allocated to the Mortgage Servicing segment.
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Servicing
segment include servicing-direct expenses, costs associated with
foreclosure and REO and allocations for overhead. Other
operating expenses decreased by $19 million (27%) during
2004 compared to 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable
to improved foreclosure loss experience.
|
|
|
Fleet Management Services Segment |
On February 27, 2004, we acquired First Fleet. Accordingly,
our 2004 results include ten months of First Fleet activity
while 2003 did not include any activity of First Fleet.
Net revenues increased by $209 million (15%) in 2004
compared to 2003, primarily due to the $153 million impact
of the First Fleet acquisition. As discussed in greater detail
below, the increase in revenues was due to increases of
$187 million in Fleet lease income, $15 million in
Other income and $7 million in Fleet management fees.
Segment profit increased by $8 million (20%) in 2004
compared to 2003 due to the $209 million increase in Net
revenues, partially offset by a $201 million increase in
Total expenses.

Fleet management fees consist primarily of the net revenues of
our principal fee-based products: fuel cards, maintenance
services, accident management services, and monthly management
fees for leased vehicles. Fleet management fees increased by
$7 million (5%) during 2004 compared to 2003. Unit counts
increased in fuel cards, maintenance service cards and accident
management vehicles. Revenues were positively impacted by higher
total volumes in the maintenance services program.
Fleet lease income increased by $187 million (16%) during
2004 compared to 2003, primarily due to the $146 million
effect of the First Fleet acquisition. Additionally, increased
depreciation billed as a result of increased leased unit counts
and increased Fleet interest expense on our variable-interest
rate funded leases added to Fleet lease income.
Other income consists principally of the revenue generated by
our dealerships and other miscellaneous revenues. Other income
increased $15 million (21%) during 2004 compared to 2003,
primarily due to the $7 million effect of the First Fleet
acquisition and a $6 million increase in revenue at our
dealerships that was a result of a 9% increase in new and used
car sales.

|
|
Depreciation on Operating Leases |
Depreciation on operating leases is the depreciation expense
associated with our leased assets portfolio. Depreciation on
operating leases increased by $69 million (7%) during 2004
compared to 2003, primarily due to a $32 million effect of
the First Fleet acquisition and higher average depreciation
expense on replaced vehicles in the existing vehicle portfolio.
These increases were partially offset by an increase in motor
company monies retained by the business and recognized during
2004, which are accounted for as adjustments to the basis of the
leased units and increase as volumes increase.
Fleet interest expense increased by $16 million (18%)
during 2004 compared to 2003. The increase in Fleet interest
expense was primarily due to an $11 million effect of the
First Fleet acquisition and higher interest rates.
Other Operating increased by $107 million (122%) during
2004 compared to 2003. This increase was primarily due to the
First Fleet acquisition of $96 million.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Our liquidity is dependent upon our ability to fund maturities
of indebtedness, to fund growth in assets under management and
business operations and to meet contractual obligations. We
estimate how these liquidity needs may be impacted by a number
of factors including fluctuations in asset and liability levels
due to changes in our business operations, levels of interest
rates and unanticipated events. The primary operating funding
needs arise from the origination and warehousing of mortgage
loans, the purchase and funding of vehicles under management and
the retention of MSRs. Sources of liquidity include equity
capital including retained earnings, the unsecured debt markets,
bank lines of credit, secured borrowing including the
asset-backed debt markets and the liquidity provided by the sale
or securitization of assets.
In order to ensure adequate liquidity throughout a broad array
of operating environments, our funding plan relies upon multiple
sources of liquidity. We maintain liquidity at the parent
company level through access to the unsecured debt markets and
through contractually committed unsecured bank facilities.
Unsecured debt markets include commercial paper issued by the
parent company which we fully support with committed bank
facilities. These various unsecured sources of funds are
utilized to provide for a portion of the operating needs of our
mortgage and fleet management businesses. In addition, secured
borrowings, including asset-backed debt, asset sales and
securitization of assets are utilized to fund both vehicles
under management and mortgages held for resale.
Given our expectation for business volumes, we believe that our
sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations at
least through the end of 2007. We expect aggregate capital
expenditures for 2006 to be between $26 million and
$30 million.

At December 31, 2005, we had $107 million of Total
cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $238 million from

During 2005, we generated $1.2 billion less cash from
operating activities than during 2004. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the timing of transactions whereby
cash used to fund the origination of mortgage loans exceeded
cash received from the sale of mortgage loans. During 2005, net
cash outflows related to the origination and sale of mortgage
loans was $924 million greater than during 2004. Cash flows
related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans may
fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing
of the underlying transactions.
During 2005, we used $36 million less in investing
activities than during 2004. The decrease in cash used in
investing activities was primarily attributable to a
$557 million greater decrease in Restricted cash related
principally to the redemption of $400 million of senior
notes issued under our Bishops Gate mortgage warehouse
asset-backed debt arrangement, a $266 million decrease in
cash paid on derivatives related to MSRs and a $158 million
increase in proceeds received from the sale of investment
vehicles by our Fleet Management Services segment. These
decreases in cash used in investing activities were offset by
$363 million of additional cash used by our Fleet
Management Services segment to acquire vehicles, a decrease of
$474 million in net settlement proceeds for derivatives
related to MSRs and an $86 million decrease in cash
provided by other investing activities.
During 2005, we generated $892 million more cash from
financing activities than during 2004. During 2005, we used
$6.5 billion more cash for the repayment of debt, including
the repayment of $443 million aggregate
79
principal amount of our privately placed senior notes and
$400 million of senior notes issued under our Bishops
Gate mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt arrangement. This was
offset by $6.5 billion of higher proceeds from borrowings,
a $570 million increase in net short-term borrowings, a
$100 million cash contribution from Cendant related to the
Spin-Off, $15 million of proceeds from the issuance of our
Common stock and $39 million more cash provided by other
financing activities. In 2004, we paid $140 million of
dividends to Cendant and received $2 million of
intercompany funding from Cendant. In 2005, we purchased an
aggregate of $6 million of our Common stock from Cendant in
connection with the Spin-Off and under our odd lot repurchase
program.
During 2005, our discontinued operations generated
$128 million less cash than during 2004, primarily due to a
$345 million decrease in cash provided by financing
activities of discontinued operations that was partially offset
by a $194 million increase in cash provided by operating
activities of discontinued operations. The decrease in cash
provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to a
$228 million distribution of discontinued operations cash
and cash equivalents to Cendant in connection with the Spin-Off
and $100 million in dividends paid to Cendant by the
discontinued operations during the first month of 2005. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily
due to a $120 million cash inflow related to fuel card
receivables.

Secondary Mortgage Market |
We rely on the secondary mortgage market for a substantial
amount of liquidity to support our operations. Nearly all
mortgage loans that we originate are sold in the secondary
mortgage market, primarily in the form of mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), asset-backed securities and
whole-loan transactions. A large component of the MBS we sell is
guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae
(collectively, Agency MBS). We also issue non-agency
(or non-conforming) MBS and asset-backed securities. We publicly
issue both non-conforming MBS and asset-backed securities that
are registered with the SEC, and we also issue private
non-conforming MBS and asset-backed securities. Generally, these
types of securities have their own credit ratings and require
some form of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization,
senior-subordinated structures, primary mortgage insurance,
and/or private surety guarantees.
The Agency MBS market, whole-loan and non-conforming markets for
prime mortgage loans provide substantial liquidity for our
mortgage loan production. We focus our business process on
consistently producing quality mortgages that meet investor
requirements to continue to be able to access these markets.
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:

Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt |
Vehicle management asset-backed debt primarily represents
floating-rate debt issued under a domestic financing facility,
Chesapeake Funding LLC (Chesapeake), our wholly
owned subsidiary that provides for the issuance of variable-rate
term notes and variable funding notes. As of December 31,
2005 and 2004, variable-rate term notes and variable funding
notes outstanding under this arrangement aggregated
$3.0 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. As of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, subordinated notes issued by
Terrapin Funding LLC (Terrapin), a consolidated
entity, aggregated $367 million and $370 million,
respectively. Variable-rate term notes, variable funding notes
and the subordinated notes were issued to support the
acquisition of vehicles used by our Fleet Management Services
segments leasing operations. The debt issued was
collateralized by approximately $3.9 billion of leased
vehicles and related assets, primarily included in Net
investment in fleet leases in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005, which are not
available to pay our general obligations. The titles to all the
vehicles collateralizing the debt issued by Chesapeake are held
in a bankruptcy remote trust, and we act as a servicer of all
such leases. The bankruptcy remote trust also acts as lessor
under both operating and direct financing lease agreements. The
holders of the notes receive cash flows from lease and other
related receivables, as well as receipts from the sale of
vehicles. Repayments are required on the notes as cash inflows
are received relating to the securitized vehicle leases and
related assets, but no later than the final maturity dates
specified in the indentures of between August 2008 and April
2018 for the variable-rate notes and variable funding notes, and
between August 2030 and August 2037 for the subordinated notes.
The weighted-average interest rate of vehicle management
asset-backed debt arrangements was 4.8% and 2.8% as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
81
On July 15, 2005, Chesapeake entered into the
Series 2005-1 Indenture Supplement (the
Supplement) to the Base Indenture dated
June 30, 1999, as amended, pursuant to which Chesapeake
issued $100 million of variable funding notes (the
Notes). On August 8, 2005, Chesapeake amended
the Supplement (the Amended Supplement) to permit
the issuance of up to an additional $600 million of Notes,
bringing the total capacity of the Amended Supplement to
$700 million. This additional asset-backed debt capacity
was used to support the acquisition of vehicles used in PHH
Arvals fleet leasing operations and to retire
$120 million of outstanding term notes. The parties to the
Amended Supplement include Chesapeake as issuer, PHH Arval as
administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent
and indenture trustee, and certain other commercial paper
conduit purchasers, funding agents and banks. The Amended
Supplement was scheduled to expire on July 14, 2006.
On March 7, 2006, Chesapeake changed its name to Chesapeake
Finance Holdings LLC (Chesapeake Finance), and it
and Terrapin redeemed all of their outstanding term notes,
variable funding notes and subordinated notes (with aggregate
outstanding principal balances of $1.1 billion,
$1.7 billion and $367 million, respectively) and
terminated the agreements associated with those borrowings.
Concurrently, Chesapeake Funding LLC, a newly formed wholly
owned subsidiary, issued two series of up to $2.7 billion
and $1.0 billion of variable funding notes under
Series 2006-1 and Series 2006-2, respectively, to fund
the redemption of this debt and provide additional committed
funding for the Fleet Management Services operations. The newly
issued variable funding notes are collateralized by leased
vehicles and related assets that are primarily included in Net
investment in fleet leases in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The assets collateralizing the liabilities of
Chesapeake Funding LLC are not available to pay our general
obligations. The Series 2006-1 and Series 2006-2 notes
will mature on March 6, 2007 and December 1, 2006,
respectively.
The variable-rate term notes and the variable funding notes were
rated AAA and Aaa by Standard & Poors and
Moodys Investors Service, respectively, as of
December 31, 2005. These ratings are based largely upon the
bankruptcy remoteness of the structure, the performance of the
assets and the maintenance of appropriate levels of
over-collateralization. The ratings of the debt issued by
Chesapeake Finance were withdrawn with the redemption of its
term notes on March 7, 2006. The availability of this
asset-backed debt could suffer in the event of: (i) the
deterioration of the assets underlying the asset-backed debt
arrangement, (ii) our inability to access the asset-backed
debt market to refinance maturing debt or (iii) termination
of our role as servicer of the underlying lease assets in the
event that we default in the performance of our servicing
obligations or we declare bankruptcy or become insolvent.
As of December 31, 2005, the total capacity under vehicle
management asset-backed debt arrangements was approximately
$3.4 billion, and we had no unused capacity available.

Mortgage Warehouse Asset-Backed Debt |
Bishops Gate is a consolidated bankruptcy remote special
purpose entity (SPE) that is utilized to warehouse
mortgage loans originated by us prior to their sale into the
secondary market. As of December 31, 2005, term notes,
subordinated notes and commercial paper issued by Bishops
Gate aggregated $1.0 billion. As of December 31, 2004,
term notes and subordinated notes issued by Bishops Gate
aggregated $1.3 billion. The debt issued by Bishops
Gate was collateralized by approximately $1.0 billion of
underlying mortgage loans and related assets, primarily recorded
in Mortgage loans held for sale, net in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005. The
activities of Bishops Gate are limited to
(i) purchasing mortgage loans from our mortgage subsidiary,
(ii) issuing commercial paper, senior term notes,
subordinated variable-rate certificates and/or borrowing under a
liquidity agreement to effect such purchases,
(iii) entering into interest rate swaps to hedge interest
rate risk and certain non-credit-related market risk on the
purchased mortgage loans, (iv) selling and securitizing the
acquired mortgage loans to third parties and (v) engaging
in certain related transactions. The debt issued by
Bishops Gate primarily represents floating-rate
instruments and matures between January 2006 and November 2008.
The weighted-average interest rate on debt issued by
Bishops Gate as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
4.8% and 2.8%, respectively.
As of September 30, 2006, Bishops Gates
commercial paper was rated A1/P1/ F1, its senior term notes are
rated AAA/ Aaa/ AAA and its variable-rate certificates are rated
BBB/ Baa2/ BBB by Standard & Poors, Moodys
82
Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, respectively. These ratings
are largely dependent upon the performance of the underlying
mortgage assets, the maintenance of sufficient levels of
subordinated debt and the timely sale of mortgage loans into the
secondary market. The assets of Bishops Gate are not
available to pay our general obligations. The availability of
this asset-backed debt could suffer in the event of:
(i) the deterioration in the performance of the mortgage
loans underlying the asset-backed debt arrangement,
(ii) our inability to access the asset-backed debt market
to refinance maturing debt, (iii) our inability to access
the secondary market for mortgage loans or (iv) termination
of our role as servicer of the underlying mortgage assets in the
event that (a) we default in the performance of our
servicing obligations, (b) we declare bankruptcy or become
insolvent or (c) our senior unsecured credit ratings fall
below BB+ or Ba1 by Standard and Poors and Moodys
Investors Service, respectively.
On July 12, 2006, Bishops Gate received a notice (the
Notice), dated July 10, 2006, from The Bank of
New York, as Indenture Trustee (the Trustee), that
certain events of default had occurred under the Base Indenture
dated December 11, 1998 (the Bishops Gate
Indenture) between the Trustee and Bishops Gate,
pursuant to which Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Loan
Medium-Term Notes and Variable-Rate Notes, Series 1999-1,
Due 2006 and Variable-Rate Notes, Series 2001-2, Due 2008
(collectively, the Bishops Gate Notes) were
issued. The Notice indicated that events of default occurred as
a result of Bishops Gates failure to provide the
Trustee with our and certain other audited and unaudited
quarterly financial statements as required under the
Bishops Gate Indenture. While the Notice further informed
the holders of the Bishops Gate Notes of these events of
default, the Notice received did not constitute a notice of
acceleration of repayment of the Bishops Gate Notes. The
Notice created an event of default under the Amended and
Restated Liquidity Agreement dated as of December 11, 1998,
as further amended and restated as of December 2, 2003,
among Bishops Gate, certain banks listed therein and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Agent (the Bishops Gate
Liquidity Agreement).
As of August 15, 2006 we received all of the required
approvals and executed a Supplemental Indenture to the
Bishops Gate Indenture waiving any event of default
arising as a result of the failure to provide the Trustee with
our and certain other audited annual and unaudited quarterly
financial statements as required under the Bishops Gate
Indenture. This waiver is effective provided that such financial
statements are delivered to the Trustee and the rating agencies
on the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date on or after
September 30, 2006 by which such financial statements are
required to be delivered to the bank group under the
Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement. Also executed was a
related waiver of the default under the Bishops Gate
Liquidity Agreement caused by the Notice under the Bishops
Gate Indenture for failure to deliver the required financial
statements. A subsequent waiver to the Bishops Gate
Liquidity Agreement became effective on September 30, 2006,
which extended the delivery date for 2005 annual audited
financial statements to November 30, 2006 and to
December 29, 2006 for the quarterly unaudited financial
statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2006,
June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006. Per the
previously obtained approvals under the Supplemental Indenture
to the Bishops Gate Indenture, the financial statement
delivery requirements under the Bishops Gate Indenture
have been extended to deadlines that are identical to the
Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement.
On September 20, 2006, Bishops Gate retired
$400 million of term notes and $51 million of
subordinated notes in accordance with their scheduled maturity
dates. Accordingly, availability under our mortgage warehouse
asset-backed debt arrangements has been reduced by
$451 million. Funds for the retirement of this debt were
provided by a combination of the sale of mortgage loans and the
issuance of commercial paper by Bishops Gate.
We also maintain a committed mortgage repurchase facility (the
Mortgage Repurchase Facility) that is used to
finance mortgage loans originated by PHH Mortgage, a wholly
owned subsidiary. We generally use this facility to supplement
the capacity of Bishops Gate and unsecured borrowings used
to fund our mortgage warehouse needs. On June 30, 2005, we
amended the Mortgage Repurchase Facility by executing the Fourth
Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Repurchase and Servicing
Agreement (the Amended Mortgage Repurchase Facility
Agreement) among Sheffield Receivables Corporation, as
Purchaser, Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch, as Administrative
Agent, PHH Mortgage Corporation, as Seller and Servicer, and PHH
Corporation, as Guarantor. The Amended Mortgage Repurchase
Facility Agreement increased the capacity of the Mortgage
Repurchase Facility from $150 million to $500 million
and eliminated certain restrictions on the eligibility of
underlying mortgage loan collateral. The Mortgage Repurchase
Facility was collateralized by
83
underlying mortgage loans of $274 million, included in
Mortgage loans held for sale, net in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005, and is
funded by a multi-seller conduit. As of December 31, 2005,
borrowings under this floating-rate facility were
$247 million and bore interest at 4.3%. There were no
borrowings under this facility during the year ended
December 31, 2004. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility has a
one-year term that is renewable on an annual basis, subject to
agreement by both parties. Depending on anticipated mortgage
loan origination volume, we may increase the capacity under the
Mortgage Repurchase Facility subject to agreement with the
lender. On January 13, 2006, we extended the expiration
date for this facility to January 12, 2007.
On October 30, 2006, we further amended the Mortgage
Repurchase Facility by executing the Fifth Amended and Restated
Master Repurchase Agreement (the Repurchase
Agreement) and the Servicing Agreement (together with the
Repurchase Agreement, the Amended Repurchase
Agreements). The Amended Repurchase Agreements increased
the capacity of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility from
$500 million to $750 million, expanded the eligibility
of underlying mortgage loan collateral and modified certain
other covenants and terms. In addition, the Mortgage Repurchase
Facility has been modified to conform to the revised bankruptcy
remoteness rules with regard to repurchase facilities adopted by
the IRS in October 2005. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility as
amended by the Amended Repurchase Agreements has a one-year term
expiring on October 29, 2007 that is renewable on an annual
basis, subject to agreement by the parties. The assets
collateralizing this facility are not available to pay our
general obligations.
During 2005, the Mortgage Venture entered into a
$350 million secured line of credit agreement with Barclays
Bank PLC, Bank of Montreal and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that is
used to finance mortgage loans originated by the Mortgage
Venture. Borrowings outstanding under this secured line of
credit were $177 million as of December 31, 2005 and
were collateralized by underlying mortgage loans of
$241 million, included in Mortgage loans held for sale, net
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Effective
June 27, 2006, we amended this agreement to reduce the
capacity under this credit agreement to $200 million. This
floating-rate credit agreement was scheduled to expire on
October 5, 2006 and bore interest at 5.2% on
December 31, 2005. On September 28, 2006, the maturity
date of this facility was extended to January 3, 2007.
On June 1, 2006, the Mortgage Venture entered into a
$350 million repurchase facility with Bank of Montreal and
Barclays Bank PLC as Bank Principals and Fairway Finance
Company, LLC and Sheffield Receivables Corporation as Conduit
Principals. The obligations under the repurchase facility are
collateralized by underlying mortgage loans. The cost of the
facility is based upon the commercial paper issued by the
Conduit Principals plus a program fee of 30 bps. In
addition, the Mortgage Venture pays a liquidity fee of
approximately 20 bps on the program size. The maturity date
for this facility is June 1, 2009, subject to annual
renewals of certain underlying conduit liquidity arrangements.
As of December 31, 2005, the total capacity under mortgage
warehouse asset-backed debt arrangements was approximately
$3.3 billion, and we had approximately $1.9 billion of
unused capacity available.
The public debt markets are a key source of financing for us,
due to their efficiency and low cost relative to certain other
sources of financing. Typically, we access these markets by
issuing unsecured commercial paper and medium-term notes. As of
December 31, 2005, we had a total of approximately
$1.9 billion in unsecured public debt outstanding. Our
maintenance of investment grade ratings as an independent
company is a significant factor in preserving our access to the
public debt markets. Our credit ratings as of September 30,
2006 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2006, the ratings outlooks on our
unsecured debt provided by Moodys Investors Service was
Negative, Standard & Poors was CreditWatch
Negative and Fitch Ratings was Rating Watch Negative.
Among other things, maintenance of our investment grade ratings
requires that we demonstrate high levels of liquidity, including
access to alternative sources of funding such as committed bank
stand-by lines of credit, as well as a capital structure and
leverage appropriate for companies in our industry. A security
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities
and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating
organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of
any other rating.
In the event our credit ratings were to drop below investment
grade, our access to the public debt markets may be severely
limited. The cutoff for investment grade is generally considered
to be a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB-and BBB- for Moodys
Investors Service, Standard & Poors and Fitch
Ratings, respectively. In the event of a ratings downgrade below
investment grade, we may be required to rely upon alternative
sources of financing, such as bank lines and private debt
placements (secured and unsecured). A drop in our credit ratings
could also increase our cost of borrowing under our credit
facilities. Furthermore, we may be unable to retain all of our
existing bank credit commitments beyond the then existing
maturity dates. As a consequence, our cost of financing could
rise significantly, thereby negatively impacting our ability to
finance some of our capital-intensive activities, such as our
ongoing investment in MSRs and other retained interests.
On February 9, 2005, we prepaid $443 million aggregate
principal amount of outstanding privately placed senior notes in
cash at an aggregate prepayment price of $497 million,
including accrued and unpaid interest. The prepayment was made
to avoid any potential debt covenant compliance issues arising
from the distributions made prior to the Spin-Off and the
related reduction in our Stockholders equity. The
prepayment price included an aggregate make-whole amount of
$44 million. During the year ended December 31, 2005,
we recorded a net charge of $37 million in connection with
this prepayment of debt, which consisted of the $44 million
make-whole payment and a write-off of unamortized deferred
financing costs of $1 million, partially offset by net
interest rate swap gains of $8 million. This charge was
included in Spin-Off related expenses in the Consolidated
Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The outstanding carrying value of term notes at
December 31, 2005 consisted of $1.1 billion of
publicly issued medium-term notes (the MTNs) issued
under the Indenture, dated as of November 6, 2000 by and
between PHH and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., as
successor trustee for Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as amended
and supplemented, the Indenture) that mature between
January 2007 and April 2018. The outstanding carrying value of
term notes at December 31, 2004 consisted of
$1.4 billion of MTNs and $453 million
($443 million principal amount) of privately placed senior
notes. The effective rate of interest for the MTNs outstanding
as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 6.8% and 6.7%,
respectively. The effective rate of interest for the privately
placed fixed-rate senior notes outstanding as of
December 31, 2004 was 7.6%.
On September 14, 2006, we concluded a tender offer and
consent solicitation (the Offer) for MTNs issued
under the Indenture. We received consents on behalf of
$585 million and tenders on behalf of $416 million of
the aggregate notional principal amount of the
$1.081 billion of the MTNs. Borrowings of $415 million
were drawn under our Tender Support Facility (defined below) to
fund the bulk of the tendered bonds. Upon receipt of the
required consents related to the Offer, we entered into
Supplemental Indenture No. 4 to the Indenture governing the
MTNs (Supplemental Indenture No. 4) with the
trustee on August 31, 2006, pursuant to which the deadline
for the delivery of our financial statements to the trustee was
extended to December 31, 2006, if necessary. In addition,
the Supplemental Indenture provided for the waiver of all
defaults that have occurred prior to August 31, 2006
relating to our financial statements and other delivery
requirements.
Our policy is to maintain available capacity under our committed
revolving credit facility (described below) to fully support our
outstanding unsecured commercial paper. We had unsecured
commercial paper obligations of $747 million and
$130 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. This floating-rate commercial
85
paper matures within 270 days of issuance. The
weighted-average interest rate on outstanding unsecured
commercial paper as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.7%
and 2.7%, respectively.
We were party to a $1.25 billion Three Year Competitive
Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit
Facility), dated as of June 28, 2004 and amended as
of December 21, 2004, among PHH Corporation, a group of
lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
On January 6, 2006, we entered into the Amended and
Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement (the
Amended Credit Facility), among PHH Corporation, a
group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent, which increased the capacity of the Credit
Facility from $1.25 billion to $1.30 billion, extended
the termination date from June 28, 2007 to January 6,
2011 and created a $50 million United States dollar
equivalent Canadian sub-facility, which is available to our
Fleet Management Services operations in Canada.
Pricing under the Credit Facility was based upon our senior
unsecured long-term debt credit ratings and, as of
December 31, 2005, bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of
60 bps. The Credit Facility also required us to pay a per
annum facility fee of 15 bps and a per annum utilization
fee of approximately 12.5 bps if our usage exceeded 33% of
the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility. Pricing
under the Amended Credit Facility is also based upon our senior
unsecured long-term debt ratings. If the ratings on our senior
unsecured long-term debt assigned by Moodys Investors
Service, Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings are
not equivalent to each other, the second highest credit rating
assigned by them determines pricing under the Amended Credit
Facility. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 38 bps. The Amended
Credit Facility also requires us to pay a per annum facility fee
of 12 bps and a per annum utilization fee of 10 bps if
our usage exceeds 50% of the aggregate commitments under the
Amended Credit Facility. In the event that our second highest
credit rating is downgraded, the margin over LIBOR would become
47.5 bps for the first downgrade and 70 bps for
subsequent downgrades, the facility fee would become 15 bps
for the first downgrade and 17.5 bps for subsequent
downgrades and the utilization fee would become 12.5 bps
for the first downgrade and any subsequent downgrades. Debt
covenants associated with the Amended Credit Facility are
described below in Debt Covenants. There were no
borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004.
On April 6, 2006, we entered into a $500 million
unsecured revolving credit agreement (the
$500 Million Agreement) with a group of lenders
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that
expires on April 5, 2007. Pricing, transaction terms and
financial covenants, including the net worth and ratio of
indebtedness to tangible net worth restrictions under the
$500 Million Agreement are substantially the same as those
under the Amended Credit Facility with the addition of a
facility fee of 10 bps against the outstanding commitments
under the facility as of October 6, 2006.
On July 21, 2006, we entered into a $750 million
unsecured credit agreement (the Tender Support
Facility) with a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as administrative agent, that expires on April 5,
2007. The Tender Support Facility provides $750 million of
capacity solely for the repayment of the MTNs, and was put in
place in conjunction with the Offer. Pricing under the Tender
Support Facility is based upon our senior unsecured long-term
debt ratings assigned by Moodys Investors Service and
Standard & Poors. If those ratings are not
equivalent to each other, the higher credit rating assigned by
them determines pricing under this agreement, unless there is
more than one rating level difference between the two ratings,
in which case the rating one level below the higher rating is
applied. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at LIBOR
plus a margin of 60 bps on or before December 14, 2006
and 75 bps after December 14, 2006. In the event that
our higher credit rating is downgraded on or before
December 14, 2006, the margin over LIBOR would become
87.5 bps for the first downgrade and 125 bps for
subsequent downgrades. After December 14, 2006, the margin
over LIBOR would become 100 bps for the first downgrade and
150 bps for subsequent downgrades. The Tender Support
Facility also requires us to pay an initial fee of 10 bps
of the commitment and a per annum facility fee of 12 bps.
In the event that our higher credit rating is downgraded on or
before December 14, 2006, the per annum facility fee would
become 15 bps for the first downgrade and 20 bps for
subsequent downgrades. After December 14, 2006, the per
annum facility fee would become 17.5 bps for the first
downgrade and 22.5 bps for subsequent downgrades. In
addition, we are subject to up to an additional 15 bps in
fees against drawn amounts
86
under the Tender Support Facility. The net worth and net ratio
of indebtedness to tangible net worth restrictions under the
Tender Support Facility are generally consistent with those
under the Amended Credit Facility.
We maintain other unsecured revolving credit facilities in the
ordinary course of business as displayed in Debt
Maturities below.
The following table provides the contractual maturities of our
indebtedness at December 31, 2005 except for our vehicle
management asset-backed notes, where estimated prepayments have

Capacity is dependent upon maintaining compliance with, or
obtaining waivers of, the terms, conditions and covenants of the
respective agreements. With respect to asset-backed funding
arrangements, capacity may be further limited by the
availability of asset eligibility requirements under the
respective agreements. |
|
(2) |
Available capacity reflects a reduction in availability under
the facilities due to an allocation against the facilities of
$747 million which fully supports the outstanding unsecured
commercial paper issued by us as of December 31, 2005.
Under our policy, all of the outstanding unsecured commercial
paper is supported by available capacity under our unsecured
credit facilities. |
As of December 31, 2005, we also had $874 million of
availability for public debt issuances under a shelf
registration statement. On March 16, 2006, access to our
shelf registration statement for public debt issuances was no
longer available due to our non-current status with the SEC.
Certain of our debt arrangements require the maintenance of
certain financial ratios and contain restrictive covenants,
including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness of
material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations and sale and
leaseback transactions. The Credit Facility required that we
maintain: (i) net worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of
net income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter after
December 31, 2004 and (ii) a ratio of debt to net
worth no greater than 8:1. The Amended Credit Facility requires
that we maintain: (i) on the last day of each fiscal
quarter, net worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net income,
if positive, for each fiscal quarter ended after
December 31, 2004 and (ii) at any time, a ratio of
indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 10:1.
87
The indentures pursuant to which the publicly issued medium-term
notes have been issued require that we maintain a debt to
tangible equity ratio of not more than 10:1. These indentures
also restrict us from paying dividends if, after giving effect
to the dividend, the debt to equity ratio exceeds 6.5:1. At
September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of our
financial covenants related to our debt arrangements.
Under many of our financing, servicing, hedging and related
agreements and instruments (collectively, our Financing
Agreements), we are required to provide consolidated
and/or subsidiary-level audited annual financial statements,
unaudited quarterly financial statements and other documents.
The delay in completing the 2005 audited financial statements,
as well as the restatement of prior period financial results
created the potential for breaches under these agreements for
failure to deliver the financial statements and/or documents by
specified deadlines, as well as potential breaches of other
covenants. We obtained waivers to extend financial statement
delivery and other document deadlines (the
Deadlines) as well as waive certain other potential
breaches under our Amended Credit Agreement, the
$500 Million Agreement, the Bishops Gate Liquidity
Agreement, the financing agreements for Chesapeake Funding LLC
and other financing agreements. Initial waivers were obtained to
extend the Deadlines to June 15, 2006, and subsequent
waivers were obtained to extend the Deadlines to
September 30, 2006. We have obtained waivers under these
facilities, the Tender Support Facility and other agreements
which waive certain potential breaches of covenants under those
instruments and extend the Deadlines (the Extended
Deadlines) for the delivery of our financial statements
and other documents to the various lenders under those
instruments. With respect to our Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, the Extended Deadline is
December 29, 2006. An additional waiver was not needed for
the extension of the delivery date for the Chesapeake Funding
LLC annual servicing report as this report was provided to the
lenders by the existing September 30, 2006 deadline. We may
require additional waivers in the future, particularly if we are
unable to meet the Extended Deadlines for delivery of our
quarterly financial statements. Our independent registered
public accounting firms audit report with respect to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contains an explanatory
paragraph stating that the uncertainty about our ability to
comply with certain of our financial agreement covenants
relating to the timely filing of our financial statements raises
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Under certain of our Financing Agreements, 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 such events of default. If we do not cure the
events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the
required time periods or certain extended time periods, the
maturity of some of our debt could be accelerated and our
ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted.
Moreover, defaults under certain of our Financing Agreements
would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our
other financing arrangements. We also obtained certain waivers
and may need to seek additional waivers extending the date for
delivery of the financial statements of our subsidiaries and
other documents related to such financial statements to certain
regulators, investors in mortgage loans and other third parties
in order to satisfy state mortgage licensing regulations and
certain contractual requirements. We will continue to seek
similar waivers as may be necessary in the future.
There can be no assurance that any additional waivers will be
received on a timely basis, if at all, or that any waivers
obtained, including the waivers we have already obtained, will
extend for a sufficient period of time to avoid an acceleration
event, an event of default or other restrictions on our business
operations. The failure to obtain such waivers could have a
material and adverse effect on our business, liquidity and
financial condition.

Restrictions on Paying Dividends |
Many of our subsidiaries (including certain consolidated
partnerships, trusts and other non-corporate entities) are
subject to restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or
otherwise transfer funds to other consolidated subsidiaries and,
ultimately, to PHH Corporation (the parent company). These
restrictions relate to loan agreements applicable to certain of
our asset-backed debt arrangements and to regulatory
restrictions applicable to the equity of our insurance
subsidiary, Atrium. The aggregate restricted net assets of these
subsidiaries totaled $1.4 billion as of December 31,
2005. These restrictions on net assets of certain subsidiaries,
however, do not directly limit our ability to pay dividends from
consolidated Retained earnings. Pursuant to the terms of the
indentures governing our outstanding term notes, we may not pay
dividends on our Common stock in
88
the event that our ratio of debt to equity exceeds 6.5:1, after
giving effect to the dividend payment. The indentures include
other covenants that may restrict our ability to pay dividends,
including a requirement that our ratio of debt to tangible
equity exceeds 10:1. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility,
the $500 Million Agreement and the Tender Support Facility
each include various covenants that may restrict our ability to
pay dividends on our Common stock, including covenants which
require that we maintain: (i) on the last day of each
fiscal quarter, net worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net
income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter after
December 31, 2004 and (ii) at any time, a ratio of
indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 10:1. Based
on our assessment of these requirements as of December 31,
2005, we do not believe that these restrictions will materially
limit dividend payments on our Common stock in the foreseeable
future. However, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on our Common stock in the foreseeable future.
The following table summarizes our future contractual
obligations as of December 31, 2005. The table below does
not include future cash payments related to interest expense.

The table above excludes future cash payments related to
interest expense. Interest payments during the year ended
December 31, 2005 totaled $348 million. Interest is
calculated on most of our debt obligations based on floating
rates referenced to LIBOR or other short-term interest rate
indexes. Short-term interest rates increased substantially
during 2005. For this and other reasons, we expect interest cost
to increase significantly in 2006. A substantial portion of our
interest cost related to asset-backed debt is charged to lessees
pursuant to lease agreements. |

In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to
either originate or purchase mortgage loans at specified rates.
As of December 31, 2005, we had commitments to fund
mortgage loans with agreed-upon rates
89
or rate protection amounting to $4.4 billion. Additionally,
as of December 31, 2005, we had commitments to fund home
equity lines of credit of $2.3 billion and construction
loans of $111 million.
Commitments to sell loans generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a
fee. We may settle the forward delivery commitments on a net
basis; therefore, the commitments outstanding do not necessarily
represent future cash obligations. Our $3.8 billion of
forward delivery commitments as of December 31, 2005
generally will be settled within 90 days of the individual
commitment date.
See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees |
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into numerous
agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities
whereby we indemnify another party for breaches of
representations and warranties. Such guarantees or
indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including
those governing leases of real estate, access to credit
facilities and use of derivatives and issuances of debt or
equity securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are
for the benefit of the buyers in sale agreements and sellers in
purchase agreements, landlords in lease contracts, financial
institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative
contracts and underwriters in debt or equity security issuances.
While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of
the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the
term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject
to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific
limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments
that we could be required to make under these guarantees, and we
are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential
amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees as
the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With
respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as
indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the
use of real estate property leased by us, we maintain insurance
coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.
Critical Accounting
Policies
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and
assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are
inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However,
events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and,
as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such
estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable
change to current conditions, it could result in a material
adverse impact to our consolidated results of operations,
financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates
and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements
were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are
those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and
complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.
|
|

Mortgage Servicing Rights |
An MSR is the right to receive a portion of the interest coupon
and fees collected from the mortgagor for performing specified
mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan
payments, remitting principal and interest payments to
investors, holding escrow funds for payment of mortgage-related
expenses such as taxes and insurance and otherwise administering
our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The value of mortgage
servicing rights is estimated based upon estimates of expected
future cash flows considering prepayment estimates (developed
using a third-party model described below), our historical
prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates
based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and
other economic factors. More specifically, we incorporate a
probability weighted option adjusted spread (OAS)
model to generate and discount cash flows for the MSR valuation.
The OAS model generates numerous interest rate paths then
calculates the MSR cash flow at each monthly point for each
interest rate path and discounts those cash flows back to the
current period. The MSR value is determined by averaging the
discounted cash flows from each of the interest rate paths. The
interest rate paths are generated with a random distribution
centered around implied
90
forward interest rates, which are determined from the interest
rate yield curve at any given point of time. As of
December 31, 2005, the implied forward interest rates
project an increase of approximately 2 basis points in the
yield of the 10-year
Treasury over the next twelve months. Changes in the yield curve
will result in changes to the forward rates implied from that
yield curve.
As noted above, a key assumption in our estimate of the MSR
valuation is forecasted prepayments. We use a third-party model
to forecast prepayment rates at each monthly point for each
interest rate path in the OAS model. The prepayment forecast is
based on historical observations of prepayment behavior in
similar circumstances. The prepayment forecast incorporates loan
characteristics (e.g., loan type and note rate) and factors such
as recent prepayment experience, previous refinance
opportunities and estimated levels of home equity to determine
the prepayment forecast at each monthly point for each interest
rate path.
To the extent that fair value is less than carrying value at the
individual strata level (which is based upon product type and
interest rates of underlying mortgage loans), we would consider
the portfolio to have been impaired and record a related charge.
Reductions in interest rates different than those used in our
models could cause us to use different assumptions in the MSR
valuation, which could result in a decrease in the estimated
fair value of our MSRs, requiring a corresponding reduction in
the carrying value. To mitigate this risk, we use derivatives
that generally increase in value as interest rates decline and
conversely decline in value as interest rates increase.
Additionally, as interest rates decrease, we have historically
experienced increased production revenue resulting from a higher
level of refinancing activity, which over time has historically
mitigated the impact on earnings of the decline in our MSRs (the
natural business hedge).
Changes in the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing
rights based upon variations in the assumptions (e.g., future
interest rate levels, implied volatility, prepayment speeds)
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in
assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear.
Changes in one assumption may result in changes to another,
which may magnify or counteract the fair value sensitivity
analysis and would make such an analysis not meaningful.
Additionally, further declines in interest rates due to a
weakening economy and geopolitical risks, which result in an
increase in refinancing activity or changes in assumptions,
could adversely impact the valuation. The carrying value of our
MSRs was approximately $1.9 billion as of December 31,
2005 and the total portfolio associated with our capitalized
MSRs approximated $145.8 billion as of December 31,
2005 (see Note 8, Mortgage Servicing Rights in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K for a
detailed discussion of the effect of any changes to the value of
this asset during 2005, 2004 and 2003). The effects of certain
adverse potential changes in the estimated fair value of our
MSRs are detailed in Note 10, Mortgage Loan
Securitizations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K.
We estimate fair values for each of our financial instruments,
including derivative instruments. Most of these financial
instruments are not publicly traded on an organized exchange. In
the absence of quoted market prices, we must develop an estimate
of fair value using dealer quotes, present value cash flow
models, option-pricing models or other conventional valuation
methods, as appropriate. The use of these fair value techniques
involves significant judgments and assumptions, including
estimates of future interest rate levels based on interest rate
yield curves, prepayment and volatility factors, and an
estimation of the timing of future cash flows. The use of
different assumptions may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts recorded in our financial
statements. See Note 22, Fair Value of Financial
Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this
Form 10-K. In
addition, hedge accounting requires that, at the beginning of
each hedge period, we justify an expectation that the
relationship between the changes in the fair value of
derivatives designated as hedges compared to the changes in the
fair value of the underlying hedged items will be highly
effective. This effectiveness assessment involves an estimation
of changes in the fair value resulting from changes in interest
rates and corresponding changes in prepayment levels, as well as
the probability of the occurrence of transactions for cash flow
hedges. The use of different assumptions and changing market
conditions may impact the results of the effectiveness
assessment and ultimately the timing of when changes in
derivative fair values and the underlying hedged items are
recorded in earnings. See Item 7A. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for a
sensitivity analysis based on hypothetical changes to these
assumptions.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we assess the
carrying value of goodwill annually, or more frequently if
circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. In
performing this analysis, we compare the carrying value of our
reporting units to their fair value. Our reporting units are
First Fleet, the Fleet Management Services segment excluding
First Fleet, PHH Home Loans, the Mortgage Production segment
excluding PHH Home Loans and the Mortgage Servicing segment.
When determining the fair value of our reporting units, we
utilize discounted cash flows and incorporate assumptions that
we believe marketplace participants would utilize. When
available and as appropriate, we use comparative market
multiples and other factors to corroborate the discounted cash
flow results.
In connection with the Spin-Off, there was a change to
Cendants reporting unit structure, which included our
Mortgage Services business that resulted in the reallocation of
Goodwill from us to other Cendant entities. We recorded a
goodwill impairment charge of $102 million in 2003 for the
Fleet Management Services segment resulting from our analysis of
the fair market value of the Fleet Management Services business
in relation to the carrying value of its net assets. The
aggregate carrying value of our Goodwill was $87 million at
December 31, 2005. See Note 6, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
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. We
also have exposure to LIBOR and commercial paper interest rates
due to their impact on variable-rate borrowings, other interest
rate sensitive liabilities and net investment in floating-rate
lease assets. We anticipate that such interest rates will remain
a primary market risk for the foreseeable future.
Interest Rate
Risk
|
|
|
Mortgage Servicing Rights |
Our MSRs are subject to substantial interest rate risk as the
mortgage notes underlying the MSRs permit the borrowers to
prepay the loans. Therefore, the value of the MSRs tends to
diminish in periods of declining interest rates (as prepayments
increase) and increase in periods of rising interest rates (as
prepayments decrease). We use a combination of derivative
instruments to offset potential adverse changes in the fair
value of our MSRs that could affect reported earnings.
|
|
|
Other Mortgage-Related Assets |
Our other mortgage-related assets are subject to interest rate
and price risk created by (i) our commitments to fund
mortgages to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and
(ii) loans held in inventory awaiting sale into the
secondary market (which are presented as Mortgage loans held for
sale, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets). We
use a combination of forward delivery commitments and option
contracts to economically hedge our commitments to fund
mortgages. Interest rate and price risk related to MLHS are
hedged with mortgage forward delivery commitments. These forward
delivery commitments fix the forward sales price that will be
realized in the secondary market and thereby reduce the interest
rate and price risk to us.
The debt used to finance much of our operations is also exposed
to interest rate fluctuations. We use various hedging strategies
and derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of
fixed and floating-rate assets and
92
liabilities. Derivative instruments used in these hedging
strategies include swaps and instruments with purchase option
features.
Consumer Credit
Risk
Conforming conventional loans serviced by us are securitized
through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac programs. Such servicing is
performed on a non-recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses
are generally the responsibility of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The government loans serviced by us are generally securitized
through Ginnie Mae programs. These government loans are either
insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or
partially guaranteed against loss by the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Additionally, jumbo mortgage loans are serviced for
various investors on a non-recourse basis.
While the majority of the mortgage loans serviced by us are sold
without recourse, we have a program in which we provide credit
enhancement for a limited period of time to the purchasers of
mortgage loans by retaining a portion of the credit risk. The
retained credit risk, which represents the unpaid principal
balance of the loans, was $5.1 billion as of
December 31, 2005. In addition, we have $594 million
of recourse on specific mortgage loans that have been sold as of
December 31, 2005.
We also provide representations and warranties to purchasers and
insurers of the loans sold. In the event of a breach of these
representations and warranties, we may be required to repurchase
a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent
loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by us. If there is no
breach of a representation and warranty provision, we have no
obligation to repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor
against loss. Our owned servicing portfolio represents the
maximum potential exposure related to representations and
warranty provisions.
As of December 31, 2005, we had a liability of
$20 million, recorded in Other liabilities in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet, for probable losses related to our
loan servicing portfolio.
Through our wholly owned mortgage reinsurance subsidiary,
Atrium, we have entered into contracts with several primary
mortgage insurance companies to provide mortgage reinsurance on
certain mortgage loans in our loan servicing portfolio. Through
these contracts, we are exposed to losses on mortgage loans
pooled by year of origination. Loss rates on these pools are
determined based on the unpaid principal balance of the
underlying loans. We indemnify the primary mortgage insurers for
loss rates that fall between a stated minimum and maximum. In
return for absorbing this loss exposure, we are contractually
entitled to a portion of the insurance premium from the primary
mortgage insurers. As of December 31, 2005, we provided
such mortgage reinsurance for approximately $11.2 billion
of mortgage loans in our servicing portfolio. As stated above,
our contracts with the primary mortgage insurers limit our
maximum potential exposure to losses, which was
$746 million as of December 31, 2005. We are required
to hold securities in trust related to this potential
obligation, which were included in Restricted Cash in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31,
2005. As of December 31, 2005, a liability of
$15 million was recorded in Other liabilities in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet for estimated losses associated with
our mortgage reinsurance activities.
See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K.
Commercial Credit
Risk
We are exposed to commercial credit risk for our clients under
the lease and service agreements for PHH Arval. 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 allow PHH Arval to refuse
any additional orders; however, PHH Arval would remain obligated
for all units under contract at that time. The service
agreements can generally be terminated upon 30 days written
notice. PHH Arval has no significant client concentrations as no
client represents more than 5% of the Net revenues of the
business during the year ended December 31, 2005. PHH
Arvals historical net losses as a percentage of the ending
dollar amount of leases have not exceeded 0.07% in any of the
last five fiscal years.
93
Counterparty Credit
Risk
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of
non-performance by counterparties to various agreements and
sales transactions. We manage such risk by evaluating the
financial position and creditworthiness of such counterparties
and/or requiring collateral, typically cash, in instances in
which financing is provided. We mitigate counterparty credit
risk associated with our derivative contracts by monitoring the
amount for which we are at risk with each counterparty to such
contracts, requiring collateral posting, typically cash, above
established credit limits, periodically evaluating counterparty
creditworthiness and financial position, and where possible,
dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties.
As of December 31, 2005 there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty
or groups of counterparties. Concentrations of credit risk
associated with receivables are considered minimal due to our
diverse customer 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.
Sensitivity
Analysis
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates
utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis
measures the potential impact on fair values based on
hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.
We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of
interest rate shifts on our debt portfolio, certain other
interest-bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives
portfolios. The primary assumption used in these models is that
an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces
a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.
We utilize a probability weighted OAS model to determine the
fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate
shifts on MSRs. The primary assumptions in this model are
prepayment speeds, OAS (discount rate) and implied volatility.
However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate
changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or
detriment on the value of future loan originations and
non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between
mortgage-backed securities, swaps and Treasury rates. For
mortgage loans, IRLCs, forward delivery commitments and options,
we rely on market sources in determining the impact of interest
rate shifts. In addition, for IRLCs, the borrowers
propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment is
used as a primary assumption.
Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors
including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets.
There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity
analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the
analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to
include the complex market reactions that normally would arise
from the market shifts modeled.
We used December 31, 2005 market rates on our instruments
to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on
the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding
paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest
rate yield curves.
94
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair
value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates
as of December 31, 2005 given hypothetical instantaneous
parallel shifts in the yield curve:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PHH
Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company),
formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PHH
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, on January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation,
and during 2003, the Company adopted the consolidation
provisions for variable interest entities.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the accompanying 2004 and 2003 consolidated
financial statements have been restated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 28 to the consolidated
financial statements, the uncertainty about the Companys
ability to comply with certain of its financing agreement
covenants relating to the timely filing of the Companys
financial statements raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Managements plans
concerning these matters are also described in Note 28. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We were engaged to audit, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, and our report
dated November 22, 2006 disclaimed an opinion on
managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting because
of a scope limitation and expressed an adverse opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting because of material weaknesses.
/s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PHH
Corporation:
We were engaged to audit managements assessment regarding
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
of PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as
of December 31, 2005. The Companys management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting.
As described in the accompanying Managements Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting on page 181, the
Company was unable to complete its assessment of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we are unable to perform
auditing procedures necessary to form an opinion on
managements assessment.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
companys principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected
by the companys board of directors, management, and other
personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over
financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements
due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the
effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting
to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination
of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The
following five material weaknesses have been identified and
included in managements assessment:
|
|
|
I. The Company did not have adequate controls in place to
establish and maintain an effective control environment.
Specifically, the following deficiencies in the control
environment in the aggregate constitute a material weakness: |
|
|
|
|
|
Senior management of the Company did not establish and maintain
a proper tone as to internal control over financial reporting.
Specifically, senior management did not emphasize, through
consistent communication, the importance of internal control
over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of
personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience
and training in the application of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and
in internal control over financial reporting commensurate with
its financial reporting obligations. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain sufficient, formalized and
consistent finance and accounting policies nor did the Company
maintain adequate controls with respect to the review,
supervision and monitoring of its accounting operations. |
98
|
|
|
|
|
The Company did not establish and maintain adequate segregation
of duties, assignments and delegation of authority with clear
lines of communication to provide reasonable assurance that it
was in compliance with existing policies and procedures. |
|
|
|
The Company did not establish and maintain a sufficient internal
audit function and did not complete an adequate fraud risk
assessment to determine the appropriate internal audit scope. |
The material weakness in the Companys internal control
environment increases the likelihood of material misstatements
in the Companys interim and annual financial statements
and contributed to the existence of the other material
weaknesses.
|
|
|
II. The Company did not maintain effective controls,
including monitoring, to provide reasonable assurance that the
Companys financial closing and reporting process was
timely and accurate. Specifically, the following deficiencies in
the aggregate constitute a material weakness: |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain sufficient, formalized written
policies and procedures governing the financial closing and
reporting process. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls to provide
reasonable assurance that management oversight and review
procedures were properly performed over the accounts and
disclosures in its consolidated financial statements. In
addition, the Company did not maintain effective controls over
the reporting of information to management to provide reasonable
assurance that the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures were complete and accurate. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the
recording of journal entries. Specifically, effective controls
were not designed and in place to provide reasonable assurance
that journal entries were prepared with sufficient supporting
documentation and reviewed and approved to provide reasonable
assurance of the completeness and accuracy of the entries
recorded. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls to provide
reasonable assurance that accounts were complete and accurate
and agreed to detailed supporting documentation and that
reconciliations of accounts were properly performed, reviewed
and approved. |
|
|
|
III. The Company did not maintain effective controls,
including policies and procedures, over accounting for certain
derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 133). Specifically, the
following deficiencies in the process of accounting for
derivative instruments in the aggregate constitute a material
weakness: |
|
|
|
|
|
In its transition to an independent, publicly-traded company,
the Company did not implement effective policies and procedures
to transition the responsibilities related to ongoing monitoring
of debt-related derivative transactions and the application of
appropriate accounting for debt-related derivative transactions
to its corporate treasury and accounting functions. |
|
|
|
The Company did not establish and maintain sufficient policies
and procedures relating to the application of the proper
accounting treatment for derivative financial instruments and
the Company did not maintain sufficient documentation to meet
the criteria for hedge accounting treatment under
SFAS No. 133. |
|
|
|
The Company did not monitor and maintain adequate documentation
relating to compliance with existing policies and procedures to
provide reasonable assurance of the proper accounting treatment
for derivatives. |
|
|
|
IV. The Company did not maintain effective controls,
including policies and procedures, over accounting for
contracts. Specifically, the Company did not have sufficient
policies and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that
contracts were reviewed by the accounting department to evaluate
and document the appropriate application of GAAP which resulted
in a material weakness in the accounting for contracts. |
99
|
|
|
V. The Company did not design and maintain effective
controls over accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the
following deficiencies in the process of accounting for income
taxes in the aggregate constitute a material weakness: |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain effective policies and procedures
to provide reasonable assurance that management oversight and
review procedures were adequately performed for the proper
reporting of income taxes in the Companys consolidated
financial statements. |
|
|
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the
calculation and recording of federal and state income taxes to
provide reasonable assurance of the appropriate accounting
treatment in the Companys consolidated financial
statements. |
The material weaknesses identified resulted in the restatement
of the Companys consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003. The material weakness in the Companys internal
control environment increases the likelihood of material
misstatements in the Companys interim and annual financial
statements and contributed to the existence of the other
material weaknesses.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the
nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005,
of the Company and this report does not affect our report on
such consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules.
Because of the limitation on the scope of our audit described in
the second paragraph of this report, the scope of our work was
not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express,
an opinion on managements assessment referred to above. In
our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses
described above on the achievement of the objectives of the
control criteria and the effects of any other material
weaknesses, if any, that we might have identified if we had been
able to perform sufficient auditing procedures relating to
managements assessment regarding the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, the Company has not
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established
in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
We have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005,
of the Company and have issued our reports dated
November 22, 2006. Our reports expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedules and included explanatory paragraphs
regarding the uncertainty about the Companys ability to
comply with certain of its financing agreement covenants
relating to the timely filing of the Companys financial
statements which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern, the Companys adoption of new
accounting standards and the restatement of the 2004 and 2003
consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all referenced amounts for prior periods and prior period

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of
Presentation
PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (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 provides servicing
activities for originated and purchased loans. |
|
|
|
Fleet Management Services provides commercial
fleet management services. |
As of December 31, 2004, PHH was a wholly owned subsidiary
of Cendant Corporation that provided homeowners with mortgages,
serviced mortgage loans, facilitated employee relocations and
provided vehicle fleet management and fuel card services to
commercial clients. During 2006, Cendant Corporation changed its
name to Avis Budget Group, Inc. (see Note 27,
Subsequent Events); however, within these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, PHHs former parent
company, now known as Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAR) is
referred to as Cendant. On February 1, 2005,
PHH began operating as an independent, publicly traded company
pursuant to a spin-off from Cendant (the Spin-Off).
Prior to the Spin-Off and subsequent to December 31, 2004,
PHH underwent an internal reorganization whereby it distributed
its former relocation and fuel card businesses to Cendant, and
Cendant contributed its former appraisal business, Speedy Title
and Appraisal Review Services LLC (STARS), to PHH.
STARS was previously a wholly owned subsidiary of PHH until it
was distributed, in the form of a dividend, to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cendant not within the PHH ownership structure on
December 31, 2002. Cendant then owned STARS through its
subsidiaries outside of PHH from December 31, 2002 until it
contributed STARS to PHH as part of the internal reorganization
discussed above.
The 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. The Mortgage Venture (as defined and discussed further
in Note 3, Spin-Off from Cendant) is
consolidated within PHHs Consolidated Financial Statements
and Realogy Corporations ownership interest is presented
as Minority interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and
Statement of Income. Pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141,
Business Combinations, Cendants contribution
of STARS to PHH was accounted for as a transfer of net assets
between entities under common control. Accordingly, the
financial position and results of operations for STARS are
included in the Consolidated Financial Statements in continuing
operations for all periods presented. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144), the financial position and
results of operations of the Companys former relocation
and fuel card businesses have been segregated and reported as
discontinued operations for all periods presented (see
Note 25, Discontinued Operations for more
information).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Changes in Accounting
Policies
Consolidation Policy. On January 17, 2003, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46
addresses the
105
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs),
including special purpose entities (SPEs) that are
not controlled through voting interests or in which the equity
investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards.
The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for
transactions entered into by the Company subsequent to
January 31, 2003 and became effective for all other
transactions as of July 1, 2003. However, in October 2003,
the FASB permitted companies to defer the July 1, 2003
effective date to December 31, 2003, in whole or in part.
On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued a complete
replacement of FIN 46 (FIN 46R), which
clarified certain complexities of FIN 46. Although adoption
for non-SPEs was not required until March 31, 2004, the
Company adopted FIN 46R in its entirety as of
December 31, 2003.
In connection with FIN 46R, when evaluating an entity for
consolidation, the Company first determines whether an entity
should be evaluated as a voting interest entity or a VIE. The
primary factors analyzed include determining the rights and
obligations of the investees as well as the equity at risk of
each investee. Generally, the Company will consolidate an entity
not deemed either a VIE or qualifying special purpose entity
(QSPE) upon a determination that its ownership,
direct or indirect, exceeds fifty percent of the outstanding
voting shares of an entity and/or that it has the ability to
control the financial or operating policies through its voting
rights, board representation or other similar rights.
If the entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates
which entity would be considered the entitys primary
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is determined by assessing
which variable interest holder absorbs the majority of the
expected losses of the entity, receives a majority of the
expected returns of the entity or both. The Company consolidates
those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary
beneficiary.
For entities where the Company does not have a controlling
interest (financial or operating), the investments in such
entities are classified as available-for-sale debt securities or
accounted for using the equity or cost method, as appropriate.
Prior to the adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R, the
Company did not consolidate SPE and SPE-type entities unless the
Company retained both control of the assets transferred and the
risks and rewards of those assets. Additionally, non-SPE-type
entities were only consolidated if the Companys ownership
exceeded fifty percent of the outstanding voting shares of an
entity and/or if the Company had the ability to control the
financial or operating policies of an entity through its voting
rights, board representation or other similar rights. In
connection with the implementation of FIN 46, the Company
consolidated Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Trust
(Bishops Gate) effective July 1, 2003
through the application of the prospective transition method.
The consolidation of Bishops Gate resulted in the
recognition of a non-cash charge of $35 million, net of
$25 million of income taxes, in the third quarter of 2003
to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change.
See Note 15, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
for more information regarding Bishops Gate.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. On
July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 149,
Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 149). This standard amends and
clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and
for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS No. 133). The
impact of adopting this standard was not material to the
Companys results of operations or financial position.
Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to the Spin-Off, all
employee stock awards were granted by Cendant. Prior to
January 1, 2003, Cendant measured its stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
No. 25), as permitted by SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123). Accordingly, Cendant did
not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of its
stock options to employees because the option terms were fixed
and the exercise price equaled the market price of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, the
Company was not allocated compensation expense upon
Cendants issuance of common stock options to the
Companys employees.
106
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of
SFAS No. 123, which is considered by the FASB to be
the preferable accounting method for stock-based employee
compensation. Cendant also adopted SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure
(SFAS No. 148) in its entirety on
January 1, 2003, which amended SFAS No. 123 to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair value-based method of accounting. After the adoption
of these standards, Cendant expensed all employee stock awards
over their vesting periods based upon the fair value of the
award on the date of grant. As Cendant elected to use the
prospective transition method, Cendant allocated expense to the
Company for only employee stock awards that were granted
subsequent to December 31, 2002.
Subsequent to the Spin-Off, certain Cendant stock-based awards
previously granted to the Companys employees were
converted into options and restricted stock units of the
Company, and certain employees were awarded additional
stock-based compensation. The Company continued to apply the
fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net
earnings per share as if the fair value-based method had been
applied to all employee stock awards granted to the
Companys employees for all periods presented:

Compensation. |
Loan Commitments. On March 9, 2004, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, Application
of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments
(SAB 105). SAB 105 summarized the views of
the SEC staff regarding the application of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States to loan commitments
accounted for as derivative instruments. The SEC staff believes
that in recognizing a loan commitment, entities should not
consider expected future cash flows related to the associated
servicing of the loan until the servicing asset has been
contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or
securitization of the loan with the servicing retained. The
provisions of SAB 105
107
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
are applicable to all loan commitments accounted for as
derivatives and entered into subsequent to
March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
results of operations, financial position or cash flows, as the
Companys pre-existing accounting treatment for such loan
commitments was consistent with the provisions of SAB 105.
Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements
Share-Based Payments. In December 2004, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123(R)), which eliminates the
alternative to measure stock-based compensation awards using the
intrinsic value approach permitted by APB No. 25 and
SFAS No. 123. Prior to the Spin-Off and since
Cendants adoption on January 1, 2003 of the fair
value method of accounting for stock-based compensation
provisions of SFAS No. 123 and the transitional
provisions of SFAS No. 148, the Company was allocated
compensation expense upon Cendants issuance of common
stock options to the Companys employees. As a result, the
Company has been recording stock-based compensation expense
since January 1, 2003 for employee stock awards that were
granted or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002.
On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment
(SAB 107). SAB 107 summarizes the views of
the staff regarding the interaction between
SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations
and provides the staffs views regarding the valuation of
share-based payment arrangements for public companies. Effective
April 21, 2005, the SEC issued an amendment to
Rule 4-01(a) of
Regulation S-X
amending the effective date for compliance with
SFAS No. 123(R) so that each registrant that is not a
small business issuer will be required to prepare financial
statements in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R)
beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period of
the registrants first fiscal year beginning on or after
June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)
and the related SEC guidance is not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In May 2005,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections
(SFAS No. 154), which replaces APB
No. 20, Accounting Changes.
SFAS No. 154 changes the accounting for, and reporting
of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154
requires retrospective application to prior periods
financial statements when voluntary changes in accounting
principles are adopted and when adopting changes required by new
accounting standards when the standard does not include specific
transition provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so.
SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The adoption of
SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have a material impact
on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Hybrid Instruments. In February 2006, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Instruments (SFAS No. 155).
SFAS No. 155 permits an entity to elect fair value
measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an
embedded derivative that otherwise would have required
bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only and principal-only
strips are not subject to the requirements of
SFAS No. 133 and establishes a requirement to evaluate
interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests
that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring
bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective January 1,
2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting
SFAS No. 155 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Servicing of Financial Assets. In March 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets An Amendment of
SFAS No. 140
(SFAS No. 156). SFAS No. 156:
(i) clarifies when a servicing asset or servicing liability
should be recognized; (ii) requires all separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be
initially measured at fair value, if practicable;
(iii) subsequent to initial measurement, permits an entity
to choose either the amortization method or the fair value
measurement method for each class of separately recognized
servicing assets or servicing liabilities; and (iv) at its
initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of
available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities
with recognized servicing rights.
108
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately
recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued
after the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as
of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year, provided the
entity has not yet issued financial statements, including
interim financial statements for any period of that fiscal year.
The Company has chosen to adopt SFAS No. 156 effective
January 1, 2006 and has elected the fair value measurement
method for subsequently measuring its servicing assets. The
election of the fair value measurement method will subject the
Companys earnings to increases and decreases in the value
of its servicing assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 156
is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements as all of the servicing asset
strata are impaired as of December 31, 2005 as discussed
further in Note 8, Mortgage Servicing Rights.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. In July 2006, the FASB
issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. The Company
must presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant
tax authority and determine whether it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained upon examination,
including resolution of any related appeals or litigation
processes, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to
recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective January 1, 2007. The
cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48
represents a change in accounting principle and shall be
reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting FIN 48 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the
application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition
of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting
entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal
year, including financial statements for an interim period
within that fiscal year. The provisions of
SFAS No. 157 should be applied prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied,
except for certain financial instruments which require
retrospective application as of the beginning of the fiscal year
of initial application (a limited form of retrospective
application). The transition adjustment, measured as the
difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values of
those financial instruments at the date SFAS No. 157
is initially applied, should be recognized as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 157 on its Consolidated Financial
Statements and whether to adopt its provisions prior to the
required effective date.
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of
SFAS Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)
(SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158
requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income, net of income taxes.
SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the
funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement
of financial position. The recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 158 are effective on December 31, 2006,
and the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal
year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2008. Prospective
application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.
109
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Revenue
Recognition
Mortgage Production. Mortgage production includes the
origination (funding either a purchase or refinancing) and sale
of residential mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are originated
through a variety of marketing channels, including relationships
with corporations, financial institutions and real estate
brokerage firms. The Company also purchases mortgage loans
originated by third parties. Fee income consists primarily of
fees collected on loans originated for others (including
brokered loans) and is recorded as revenue when the Company has
completed its obligations related to the underlying loan
transaction. Loan origination fees, commitment fees paid in
connection with the sale of loans and certain direct loan
origination costs associated with loans are deferred until such
loans are sold. Such fees are recorded as adjustments to the
cost-basis of the loan and are included in Gain on sale of
mortgage loans, net when the loan is sold. Sales of mortgage
loans are recorded on the date that ownership is transferred.
Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based
upon the difference between the selling price and the allocated
carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold.
The Company principally sells its originated mortgage loans
directly to government-sponsored entities and other investors;
however, in limited circumstances, the Company sells loans
through a wholly owned subsidiarys public registration
statement. In accordance with SFAS No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities, the Company evaluates
each type of sale or securitization for sales treatment. This
review includes both an accounting and a legal analysis to
determine whether or not the transferred assets have been
isolated from the transferor. To the extent the transfer of
assets qualifies as a sale, the Company derecognizes the asset
and records the gain or loss on the sale date. In the event the
Company determines that the transfer of assets does not qualify
as a sale, the transfer would be treated as a secured borrowing.
Interest income is accrued as earned. Loans are placed on
non-accrual status when any portion of the principal or interest
is ninety days past due or earlier when concern exists as to the
ultimate collectibility of principal or interest. Interest
received from loans on non-accrual status is recorded as income
when collected. Loans return to accrual status when principal
and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully
collectible.
Mortgage Servicing. Mortgage servicing is the servicing
of residential mortgage loans. Loan servicing income represents
recurring servicing and other ancillary fees earned for
servicing mortgage loans owned by investors as well as net
reinsurance income from the Companys wholly owned
reinsurance subsidiary, Atrium Insurance Corporation
(Atrium). Servicing fees received for servicing
mortgage loans owned by investors are based on a stipulated
percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance on such
loans, or the difference between the weighted-average yield
received on the mortgages and the amount paid to the investor,
less guaranty fees, expenses associated with business
relationships and interest on curtailments. Loan servicing
income is receivable only out of interest collected from
mortgagors, and is recorded as income when collected. Late
charges and other miscellaneous fees collected from mortgagors
are also recorded as income when collected. Costs associated
with loan servicing are charged to expense as incurred.
Fleet Leasing Services. The Company provides fleet
management services to corporate clients and government
agencies. These services include management and leasing of
vehicles and other fee-based services for clients vehicle
fleets. The Company leases vehicles primarily to corporate fleet
users under open-end operating and direct financing lease
arrangements where the client bears substantially all of the
vehicles residual value risk. The lease term under the
open-end lease agreement provides for a minimum lease term of
twelve months and after the minimum term, the lease may be
continued at the lessees election for successive monthly
renewals. In limited circumstances, the Company leases vehicles
under closed-end leases where the Company bears all of the
vehicles residual value risk. Gains or losses on the sales
of vehicles under closed-end leases are recorded in Other
income. For operating leases, lease revenues, which contain a
depreciation component, an interest component and a management
fee component, are recognized over the lease term of the
vehicle, which encompasses the minimum lease term and the
month-to-month
renewals. For direct financing leases, lease
110
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
revenues contain an interest component and a management fee
component. The interest component is recognized using the
effective interest method over the lease term of the vehicle,
which encompasses the minimum lease term and the
month-to-month
renewals. Amounts charged to the lessees for interest are
determined in accordance with the pricing supplement to the
respective lease agreement and are generally calculated on a
floating-rate basis that varies
month-to-month in
accordance with changes in the floating-rate index. Amounts
charged to lessees for interest may also be based on a fixed
rate that would remain constant for the life of the lease.
Amounts charged to the lessees for depreciation are based on the
straight-line depreciation of the vehicle over its expected
lease term. Management fees are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the lease. Revenue for other services is
recognized when such services are provided to the lessee.
Revenue for certain services, including fuel card, accident
management services and maintenance services, is based on a
negotiated percentage of the purchase price retained by the
Company for the underlying products or services provided by
third-party suppliers and is recognized when the service is
provided by the supplier. Revenue for other services, including
management fees for leased vehicles, is recognized when such
services are provided to the lessee.
The Company sells certain of its truck and equipment leases to
third-party banks and individual financial institutions. When
the Company sells operating leases, it sells the underlying
assets and assigns any rights to the leases, including future
leasing revenues, to the banks or financial institutions. Upon
the transfer of the title and the assignment of the rights
associated with the operating leases, the Company records the
proceeds from the sale as revenue and recognizes an expense for
the undepreciated cost of the asset sold. Upon the sale or
transfer of rights to direct financing leases, the net gain or
loss is recorded in Other income. Under certain of these sales
agreements, the Company retains some residual risk in connection
with the fair value of the asset at lease termination.
|
|
|
Depreciation on
Operating Leases and Net Investment in Fleet Leases |
Vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
The initial cost of the vehicles is recorded net of incentives
and allowances from vehicle manufacturers. Leased vehicles are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over a term that generally
ranges from 3 to 6 years.
Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising expenses, recorded within Other operating expenses
in the Consolidated Statements of Income, were $10 million,
$11 million and $11 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
The Company filed its income tax returns for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the short period
ended on the effective date of the Spin-Off as part of the
Cendant consolidated federal return and certain Cendant
consolidated state returns. Income tax expense for periods prior
to the Spin-Off is computed as if the Company filed its federal
and state income tax returns on a stand-alone basis. The Company
filed a consolidated federal return and state returns, as
required, for the period from February 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2005 which reported only its taxable income
and the taxable income of those corporations which were its
subsidiaries subsequent to the Spin-Off. The Company recognizes
deferred tax assets and liabilities pursuant to
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS No. 109). The Company regularly
reviews the deferred tax assets to assess their potential
realization and establishes a valuation allowance for such
assets when the Company believes it is more likely than not that
the benefit will not be realized. Generally, any change in the
valuation allowance is recorded in current tax expense; however,
if the valuation allowance is adjusted in connection with an
acquisition, such adjustment is recorded concurrently through
Goodwill rather than the Provision for income taxes. Income tax
expense includes (i) deferred tax expense, which represents
the net
111
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
change in the deferred tax asset or liability balance during the
year plus any change in the valuation allowance and
(ii) current tax expense, which represents the amount of
taxes currently payable to or receivable from a taxing authority
plus amounts accrued for tax contingencies (including both tax
and interest) in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies
(SFAS No. 5). Income tax expense excludes
the tax effects related to adjustments recorded to Accumulated
other comprehensive income as well as the tax effects of
cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles.
|
|
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents |
Marketable securities with original maturities of three months
or less are included in Cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted cash primarily relates to (i) amounts
specifically designated to purchase assets, to repay debt and/or
to provide over-collateralization within the Companys
bankruptcy remote asset-backed debt arrangements,
(ii) funds collected and held for pending mortgage closings
and (iii) accounts held for the capital fund requirements
of and potential claims related to the Companys mortgage
reinsurance subsidiary.
|
|
|
Mortgage Loans Held for
Sale |
Mortgage loans held for sale (MLHS) represent
mortgage loans originated or purchased by the Company and held
until sold to investors. Upon the closing of a residential
mortgage loan originated or purchased by the Company, the
mortgage loan is typically warehoused for a period of up to
60 days and then sold into the secondary market. MLHS are
recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost
or market value, which is computed by the aggregate method, net
of deferred loan origination fees and costs. The cost-basis of
MLHS is adjusted to reflect changes in the fair value of the
loans as applicable through fair value hedge accounting. The
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
securities backed by similar types of loans and current dealer
commitments to purchase loans. Upon the sale of the underlying
mortgage loans, the mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)
and servicing obligations of those loans are generally retained
by the Company.
|
|
|
Mortgage Servicing
Rights |
An MSR is the right to receive a portion of the interest coupon
and fees collected from the mortgagor for performing specified
mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan
payments, remitting principal and interest payments to
investors, holding escrow funds for payment of mortgage-related
expenses such as taxes and insurance and otherwise administering
the Companys mortgage loan servicing portfolio.
MSRs are created through either the direct purchase of servicing
from a third party or through the sale of an originated loan.
Purchased servicing is recorded at the lower of the purchase
price or fair value. Servicing created through the sale of an
originated loan is determined by an allocation of the cost of
the mortgage loan between the loan sold and the retained
servicing, based on their relative fair values. The initial
capitalization of the servicing is recorded as an addition to
Mortgage servicing rights, net in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and has a direct impact on Gain on sale of mortgage
loans, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
MSRs are routinely evaluated for impairment, but at least on a
quarterly basis. Valuation changes in the MSRs are recognized in
the Consolidated Statements of Income in Amortization and
valuation adjustments related to mortgage servicing rights, net
and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a
valuation allowance in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair
value is estimated based upon estimates of expected future cash
flows considering prepayment estimates (developed using a model
described below), the Companys historical prepayment
rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on
interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and other
economic factors. The model to forecast prepayment rates used in
the development of
112
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
expected future cash flows is based on historical observations
of prepayment behavior in similar periods, comparing current
mortgage interest rates to the mortgage interest rates in the
Companys servicing portfolio, and incorporates loan
characteristics (e.g., loan type and note rate) and factors such
as recent prepayment experience, previous refinance
opportunities and estimated levels of home equity. The loans
underlying the MSRs are stratified into note rate pools based on
certain risk characteristics including product type and rate.
Fixed-rate loans are stratified into interest rate bands of less
than 6%, 6-6.5% and greater than 6.5%. Variable-rate loans are
stratified into adjustable-rate mortgage, hybrid adjustable-rate
mortgage and home equity line of credit products. The Company
also obtains quarterly estimates of the value of each stratum of
MSRs from an independent third party and considers these
independent valuations in its evaluation of potential impairment
of MSRs. Management periodically reviews the various strata to
determine whether the value of the impaired MSRs in a given
stratum is likely to recover. If the value is not expected to
recover with a 200 basis point increase in rates, the
impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. If
other-than-temporary impairment is indicated, MSRs are written
off directly with a corresponding decrease to the valuation
allowance and cannot be subsequently recovered. Recovery of the
valuation allowance resulting from a temporary impairment is
recorded if the fair value of the stratum increases, but is
limited to the cost-basis of a given stratum.
The Company amortizes MSRs based upon the ratio of the current
month net servicing income (estimated at the beginning of the
month) to the expected net servicing income over the life of the
servicing portfolio. The amortization rate is applied to the
gross book value of the MSRs to determine the amortization
expense.
The Companys Investment securities totaled
$41 million and $46 million as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively, and consisted of its retained
interests in securitizations. Management determines the
appropriate classification of its investments at the time
acquired. The retained interests from the Companys
securitizations of residential mortgage loans, with the
exception of MSRs (the accounting for which is described above
under Mortgage Servicing Rights), are classified as
available-for-sale or trading securities. Gains or losses
relating to the assets securitized are allocated between such
assets and the retained interests based on their relative fair
values on the date of sale. The Company evaluates its investment
securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly
basis. Other-than-temporary impairment is recorded within Other
income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company
estimates the fair value of retained interests based upon the
present value of expected future cash flows, which is subject to
prepayment risks, expected credit losses and interest rate risks
of the sold financial assets. See Note 10, Mortgage
Loan Securitizations for more information regarding these
retained interests.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses reported net of income taxes as a
separate component of Stockholders equity. Trading
securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses reported in Other income in the Consolidated Statements
of Income. All realized gains and losses are determined on a
specific identification basis and are recorded within Other
income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

|
|
Property, Plant and
Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment (including leasehold improvements)
are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation, recorded as a component of Other
depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of
Income, is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of
leasehold improvements, also recorded as a component of Other
depreciation and amortization, is computed utilizing the
straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the
related assets or the lease term, if shorter. Estimated useful
lives are 30 years for the Companys building,
3 years for capitalized software, and range from 3 to
20 years for leasehold improvements and 3 to 7 years
for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs
during the application development stage. The costs capitalized
by the Company relate to external direct costs of materials and
services and employee costs related to the time spent on the
project during the capitalization period. Capitalized software
costs are evaluated for impairment annually or when changing
circumstances indicate that amounts capitalized may be impaired.
Impaired items are written down to their estimated fair values
at the date of evaluation.

|
Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets |
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS No. 142), the Company assesses the
carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if
circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company
assesses goodwill for such impairment by comparing the carrying
value of its reporting units to their fair value. The
Companys reporting units are First Fleet Corporation
(First Fleet), the Fleet Management Services segment
excluding First Fleet, PHH Home Loans, LLC (as defined in
Note 3, Spin-Off from Cendant), the Mortgage
Production segment excluding PHH Home Loans, LLC and the
Mortgage Servicing segment. When determining the fair value of
its reporting units, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows
and incorporates assumptions that it believes marketplace
participants would utilize. When available and as appropriate,
the Company uses comparative market multiples and other factors
to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment and
written down to fair value, as required by
SFAS No. 142.
Customer lists are generally amortized over a
20-year period.
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall
strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily
associated with fluctuations in interest rates. As a matter of
policy, the Company does not use derivatives for speculative
purposes.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value and included in Other
assets or Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as
hedging instruments and derivatives designated as fair value
hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the
fair value of the hedged item in a fair value hedge are recorded
as adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item and
recognized in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The changes in the fair values of hedged items and related
derivatives are included in the following line items in the
Consolidated Statements of Income:
|
|
|
|
|
Loan-related derivatives and changes in the fair value of MLHS
are included in Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net; |
|
|
|
Debt-related derivatives and changes in the fair value of the
debt are included in Interest expense. |
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of
derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is
recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive
income. The ineffective portion is reported in earnings as a
component of Interest expense. Amounts included in Accumulated
other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the
same period during which the hedged item affects earnings.
The Company uses a combination of derivative instruments to
offset potential adverse changes in the fair value of its MSRs
that could affect reported earnings. As of and for the year
ended December 31, 2003, the derivatives associated with
the MSRs were designated in a fair value hedge relationship
pursuant to SFAS No. 133. As of and for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the derivatives
associated with the MSRs were freestanding derivatives and were
not designated in a hedge relationship pursuant to
SFAS No. 133. Changes in the fair value of MSR-related
derivatives and changes in the fair value of MSRs are included
in Amortization and valuation adjustments related to mortgage
servicing rights, net.

Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets |
As required by SFAS No. 144, if circumstances indicate
an impairment may have occurred, the Company evaluates the
recoverability of its long-lived assets including amortizing
intangible assets, by comparing the respective carrying values
of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on
an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets.
The Company has fiduciary responsibility for servicing accounts
related to customer escrow funds and custodial funds due to
investors aggregating approximately $3.1 billion and
$2.8 billion as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. These funds are maintained in segregated bank
accounts, which are not included in the assets and liabilities
of the Company. The Company receives certain benefits from these
deposits, as allowable under federal and state laws and
regulations. Income earned on these escrow accounts is recorded
in Mortgage interest income in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.

Prior Period Adjustments |
During the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company
determined that it was necessary to restate previously issued
financial statements to record adjustments for corrections of
errors resulting from various accounting matters described
below. Prior to the Companys Spin-off from Cendant, the
Company underwent an internal reorganization which required
significant accounting adjustments and allocations, including
the allocation and valuation of the tax attributes to the
Companys post-Spin-off businesses, which previously had
been reported for tax filings prepared as part of the Cendant
consolidated income tax returns. The Company and its outside
advisors, under the direction of the Audit Committee of the
Companys Board of Directors, performed an extensive review
of certain complex accounting adjustments and valuations. Upon
completion of the review by the Company and its outside
advisors, the Company concluded that various matters identified
would require restatement of the Companys prior period
financial statements. Restatement adjustments included
(i) entries which the Company previously believed were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, but which were subsequently
determined to be errors and (ii) entries which the Company
had previously concluded were immaterial to the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods.
Additionally, control deficiencies identified in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting
contributed to the occurrence of certain of the errors contained
in its previously issued financial statements.
The Company has restated its financial results for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, all quarters in 2004,
each of the first three quarters in 2005 and prior periods
through an adjustment to Retained earnings at December 31,
2002. The adjustments generally fall into the following
categories: adjustments in connection with (i) accounting
for the allocation of Goodwill and other intangible assets
associated with a 2001 business combination; (ii) exclusion
of mortgage reinsurance premiums within the capitalization of
mortgage servicing rights; (iii) accounting for the revenue
recognition of loans sold to a special purpose entity;
(iv) accounting for derivatives and hedging activities;
(v) the timing of recognition of motor company monies that
impact the Companys basis in leased vehicles and the
depreciation methodologies applied to certain of the
Companys leased vehicles and (vi) other miscellaneous
errors. Additionally, adjustments were also recorded for the tax
effects of the restatement adjustments.

The restatement also affected periods prior to the year ended
December 31, 2003. The net impact of the restatement on
such prior periods has been reflected as a reduction to
Stockholders equity as of December 31, 2002 in the
amount of $219 million, net of tax benefits of
$2 million. The restatement adjustments are more fully
described below:
1. Goodwill and other intangible assets:
The Company discovered errors in the accounting for the
allocation of the purchase price, and therefore, goodwill and
other intangible assets resulting from its 2001 acquisition of
Avis Group Holdings, Inc. (Avis). The correction of
these errors caused the goodwill resulting from the 2001
acquisition accounting to be allocated differently to the three
businesses acquired, resulting in: (i) the original
allocation of goodwill associated with Avis car rental
operations was increased by $52 million; (ii) the
original allocation of goodwill associated with Wright Express
was increased by $141 million; and (iii) the original
allocation of goodwill associated with PHH Vehicle Management
Services Group LLC (PHH Arval) (the Companys
Fleet Management Services business) was reduced by
$256 million. The Companys Fleet Management Services
business remained in the PHH ownership structure from the time
of the 2001 acquisition to the present. Wright Express remained
in the PHH ownership structure from the time of the 2001
acquisition until the Company distributed it to Cendant in the
first quarter of 2005, immediately prior to the Companys
Spin-off from Cendant, and is classified as discontinued
operations in the Companys Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company distributed Avis car rental
117
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
operations to Cendant immediately following the 2001
acquisition. Additionally, the Company concluded that the Fleet
Management Services business and Wright Express should not have
been combined into a single reporting unit for purposes of
accounting for goodwill under SFAS No. 142. The
Company previously considered the Fleet Management Services
business and Wright Express to be a single reporting unit since
the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and through the time of
Wright Express distribution to Cendant in the first
quarter of 2005. After correcting the errors related to the
original allocation of goodwill in 2001, the Company adjusted
amortization of goodwill for the restated goodwill balances and
reevaluated goodwill balances for impairment purposes for First
Fleet, the Fleet Management Services segment excluding First
Fleet and Wright Express as separate reporting units. The
Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of
$100 million and $102 million in the fourth quarters
of 2002 and 2003, respectively, for the Fleet Management
Services business resulting in a full write-off of the Fleet
Management Services business restated Goodwill balance at
December 31, 2003. The goodwill impairment charge
previously recorded in the first quarter of 2005 of
$239 million was reversed.
2. Exclusion of reinsurance premiums from capitalized MSRs:
Prior to the second quarter of 2003, the Company inappropriately
capitalized the estimated future cash flows related to mortgage
reinsurance premiums as part of its MSRs. The Company ceased
capitalizing new mortgage reinsurance premiums in the second
quarter of 2003 and the balance of previously capitalized
mortgage reinsurance premiums was fully amortized as of the end
of 2005. The restatement adjustments correct this accounting
such that the estimated cash flows related to mortgage
reinsurance premiums are not capitalized as part of the MSRs for
periods prior to the second quarter of 2003 and eliminate the
related amortization for all relevant periods.
3. Revenue recognition of loans sold to a special purpose
entity:
The Company corrected the timing of revenue recognition prior to
the adoption of FIN 46 related to loan sales from PHH
Mortgage Corporation (PHH Mortgage), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, to Bishops Gate, a special
purpose entity consolidated upon the adoption of FIN 46.
Prior to the date of adoption of FIN 46 on July 1,
2003 and the related consolidation of Bishops Gate, the
Company recorded loan sales to Bishops Gate at the time of
the sale; however, the gain on sale was deferred until the loans
were sold by Bishops Gate to third-party investors. The
restatement recognizes the gain on sale at the time of the
Companys sale to Bishops Gate for the periods prior
to Bishops Gates consolidation in 2003. A portion of
the pre-tax impact of the restatement adjustment for 2003, a
reduction of pre-tax income of $60 million, is reflected on
the Consolidated Statements of Income as the Cumulative effect
of accounting change ($35 million, net of $25 million
of income taxes) for the adoption of FIN 46.
4. Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities:
The Companys reevaluation of the application of
SFAS No. 133 hedge accounting to certain financial
instruments used to hedge interest rate risk resulted in the
disallowance of hedge accounting previously used for these
hedging arrangements due to inadequate contemporaneous
documentation and errors in applying certain other requirements
of SFAS No. 133. The restatement corrects the
accounting previously applied by treating the derivatives used
in these hedging arrangements as freestanding derivatives. (See
Note 11, Derivatives and Risk Management
Activities.)
5. Recognition of motor company monies and depreciation
methodologies:
The restatement corrects the timing of recognition of motor
company monies that impact the basis in the Companys
leased assets and therefore Depreciation on operating leases.
Generally, these monies were previously recorded as adjustments
to the basis in leased vehicles when received and were amortized
over the estimated lease life of the vehicles. The restatement
corrects the accounting previously applied by accruing for the
monies as earned rather than upon receipt. The amounts are now
recognized either: (i) immediately when accrued through a
reduction of Depreciation on operating leases for the portion
related to the time the related vehicles have been in
118
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
service under the lease; or (ii) as a basis adjustment for
leased vehicles for the portion related to the undepreciated
basis in the vehicle to be recognized as a reduction to
Depreciation on operating leases over the remaining estimated
lease life of the vehicle. Additionally, the restatement
corrects the depreciation methodologies applied to certain of
the Companys leased vehicles that did not comply with the
Companys policy to depreciate leased vehicles on a
straight-line basis.
6. Other miscellaneous:
Adjustments were made to recognize the effects of other
miscellaneous errors corrected as part of the restatement.
7. STARS income tax liability:
The Company previously recorded an income tax expense in the
first quarter of 2005 associated with the Spin-Off relating to a
tax liability the Company incurred associated with its
distribution of STARS to Cendant in 2002. The restatement
corrects this accounting treatment by recording the income tax
liability in 2002 as an equity adjustment associated with the
distribution of STARS to Cendant and by reversing the income tax
expense previously recorded in the first quarter of 2005 of
$24 million.
In addition, certain other adjustments were made which have no
net income or equity impact, but restate the classification of
prior period amounts. These reclassifications included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements principally relate to the
items set forth below:
1. Reclassification of Depreciation on operating leases
from a contra revenue account to an expense account:
In previous periods, Depreciation on operating leases was
reported as a contra revenue account in the determination of Net
revenues. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company revised
its Consolidated Statements of Income to report
$1.1 billion of Depreciation on operating leases for both
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, as a component
of Total expenses rather than as a component of Net revenues.
Certain items previously reported in Depreciation on operating
leases such as excess mileage and early lease termination fees,
losses on the sale of vehicles coming off lease and the costs of
lease syndications have been reclassified to various other
revenue and expense line items to conform to the Companys
current period presentation.
2. Reclassification of dealership cost of goods sold from
Other income to Other operating expenses:
In previous periods, both the revenue generated by the
Companys dealership businesses and the associated cost of
goods sold was included in Other income, a component of Net
revenues. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company
reclassified dealership cost of goods sold of $62 million
and $56 million for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively, to Other operating expenses.
3. Presentation of cash flow from discontinued operations:
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company revised its
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to separately disclose the
operating, investing and financing cash flows and the effect of
exchange rate changes attributable to its discontinued
operations. In its prior filings, the Company previously
reported cash flows of discontinued operations on a combined
basis as a single amount, which represented cash flows to and
from its discontinued operations. The effect of this
reclassification for the year ended December 31, 2004 was a
$177 million increase in both cash flows from operating
activities of continuing operations and total cash flows from
continuing operations. The effect of this reclassification for
the year ended December 31, 2003 was a $71 million
decrease in both cash flows from operating activities of
continuing operations and total cash flows from continuing
operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
4. Presentation of cash flow activity related to MSRs:
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company revised the
presentation in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow related
to the capitalization of originated MSRs. The restatement
adjustments correct the presentation such that $50 million
and $51 million of purchases of MSRs for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are presented in
cash flows from investing activities and $448 million and
$939 million of the capitalization of originated MSRs for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
are presented in cash flows from operating activities.
5. Other miscellaneous reclassifications:
As disclosed above, certain reclassifications have been made to
prior period amounts to conform to the current period
presentation.
The following tables set forth the effects of the restatement
adjustments as discussed above on the Consolidated Statements of
Income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The
As Previously Reported columns in the following
tables reflect the financial statements reported in the
Companys Current Report filed on
Form 8-K on
September 7, 2005, which updated its Consolidated Financial
Statements and related disclosures for each of the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 included in its Annual
Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2004 in order to (i) reflect a
reclassification of its former relocation and fuel card
businesses distributed to Cendant as discontinued operations in
accordance with SFAS No. 144; (ii) reflect
Cendants contribution of STARS, an entity previously under
common control, to the Company and add the financial position
and results of operations of STARS into its Consolidated
Financial Statements in continuing operations for all periods
presented and accounted for as a transfer of net assets between
entities under common control; and (iii) certain other
modifications made to the Companys financial statement
presentation in conjunction with the changes in the composition
of the businesses included in continuing operations. For the
year ended December 31, 2004, the Companys
restatement of its financial statements resulted in increases to
net income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share of $18 million, $0.34 and $0.33, respectively. For
the year ended December 31, 2003, the Companys
restatement of its financial statements resulted in decreases to
net income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share of $90 million, $1.71 and $1.69, respectively.

The Companys Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were also restated
for the adjustments discussed above. The restatement adjustments
(decreased) increased cash flows from operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities of continuing
operations by $(315) million, $487 million and
$5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and
$(1,047) million, $995 million and $(19) million
for the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On January 31, 2005, each holder of Cendant common stock
received one share of PHH common stock for every twenty shares
of Cendant common stock held on January 19, 2005, the
record date for the distribution. The Spin-Off was effective on
February 1, 2005.
In connection with the Spin-Off, PHH and Cendants real
estate services division became parties to a mortgage venture,
PHH Home Loans, LLC (the Mortgage Venture).
Effective July 31, 2006, Cendant completed the spin-off of
its real estate services division (the Realogy
Spin-Off) into an independent publicly traded company,
Realogy Corporation (NYSE: H) (Realogy). (See
Note 23, Related Party Transactions and
Note 27, Subsequent Events.) The Mortgage
Venture originates and sells mortgage loans sourced through
Realogys owned real estate brokerage business, NRT
Incorporated (NRT), its owned relocation business,
Cartus Corporation (formerly known as Cendant Mobility Services
Corporation (Cendant Mobility)) (Cartus)
and its owned settlement services business, Title Research
Group, LLC (formerly known as Cendant Settlement Services Group,
Inc.) (TRG). The Mortgage Venture commenced
operations in October 2005. The Company contributed assets and
transferred employees that have historically supported
originations from NRT and Cartus to the Mortgage Venture in
October 2005. PHH Broker Partner Corporation (PHH Broker
Partner), a wholly owned subsidiary of PHH, owns 50.1% of
the Mortgage Venture, and Realogy Real Estate Services Venture
Partner, Inc. (Realogy Venture Partner), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Realogy, owns the remaining 49.9%. The
Mortgage Venture is consolidated within PHHs Consolidated
Financial Statements, and Realogy Venture Partners
interest in the Mortgage Venture is presented as Minority
interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of
Income. Through the Mortgage Venture, PHH is the exclusive
recommended provider of mortgage loans by NRT, Cartus and TRG to
(i) the independent sales associates affiliated with
Realogy Services Group LLC and Realogy Venture Partner
(collectively, the Realogy Entities) (excluding the
independent sales associates of any Realogy franchisee acting in
such capacity), (ii) all customers of the Realogy Entities
(excluding Realogy franchisees or any employee or independent
sales associate thereof acting in such capacity) and
(iii) all
U.S.-based employees of
Cendant.
Also in connection with the Spin-Off, PHH entered into a tax
sharing agreement with Cendant, which is more fully described in
Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies, and the
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating
Agreement for PHH Home Loans, LLC, dated as of January 31,
2005 and amended as of May 12, 2005 (the Mortgage
Venture Operating Agreement), a transition services
agreement (the Transition Services Agreement) and
certain other agreements which are more fully described in
Note 23, Related Party Transactions.
During 2005, the Company recognized Spin-Off related expenses of
$41 million, consisting of a charge of $37 million
resulting from the prepayment of debt, more fully described in
Note 15, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, and a
charge of $4 million associated with the conversion of
certain Cendant stock options held by PHH employees to PHH stock
options, more fully described in Note 21, Stock-Based
Compensation. See Note 17, Income Taxes,
for additional tax-related charges related to the Spin-Off.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations
were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of their
respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair
values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses
acquired by the Company have been included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income since their respective dates of
acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities
assumed was allocated to goodwill.
First Fleet. During 2004, the Company acquired First
Fleet, a national provider of fleet management services to
companies that maintain private truck fleets, for approximately
$26 million, net of cash acquired of $10 million and
including $4 million of contingent consideration that was
paid in the first quarter of 2005. As of
124
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2004, the Company recorded goodwill of
$24 million related to this acquisition, none of which is
deductible for income tax purposes. This goodwill was assigned
to the Fleet Management Services segment. In the fourth quarter
of 2005, the Company recorded $2 million of goodwill
related to this acquisition due to a contingent payment of
$2 million paid in the first quarter of 2006.
Other. The Company participates in acquisitions made by
NRT by acquiring the mortgage operations of the real estate
brokerage firms acquired by NRT. During 2005, the Company
completed an acquisition for $3 million in cash, which
resulted in $3 million of goodwill (based on the
preliminary allocation of the purchase price), all of which was
assigned to the Mortgage Production segment. During 2004, the
Company completed two acquisitions for $5 million in cash,
which resulted in $5 million of goodwill, all of which was
assigned to the Mortgage Production segment. During 2003, the
Company completed certain acquisitions for aggregate
consideration of $2 million in cash. The goodwill resulting
from the acquisitions completed in 2003 aggregated
$2 million, all of which was assigned to the Mortgage
Production segment.
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net earnings
during the period by the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common
shares were issued. The number of weighted-average shares
outstanding for each of the three years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003 reflects a 52,684-for-one stock split
effected January 28, 2005, in connection with and in order
to consummate the Spin-Off (see Note 19,
Stock-Related Matters). The effect of potentially
dilutive common shares related to Cendants stock options
and restricted stock units that were exchanged for the
Companys stock options and restricted stock units at the
time of the Spin-Off were included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share for all periods prior to the Spin-Off.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings
per share calculations for the periods indicated:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
In connection with the Spin-Off, there was a change to
Cendants reporting unit structure, which included the
Companys Mortgage Services business that resulted in the
reallocation of goodwill from the Company to other Cendant
entities. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$102 million during the year ended December 31, 2003
for the Fleet Management Services segment resulting from its
analysis of the fair market value of the Fleet Management
Services business in relation to the carrying value of its net
assets. The
125
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
calculation of fair market value, derived from a projection of
future cash flows for this business, was negatively impacted by
the declining interest rate environment during the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2003 due to the impact that declining
interest rates have on revenue and income from the
business lease portfolio as new leases originated at lower
rates replace higher rate leases.

As of December 31, 2005, the Companys MSRs had a
weighted-average life of approximately 4.7 years. The
estimated fair values of the MSRs were $1.9 billion and
$1.6 billion as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Approximately 70% of the MSRs associated with the
loan servicing portfolio as of December 31, 2005 were
restricted from sale without prior approval from the
Companys private label clients or investors.
The following summarizes certain information regarding the
initial and ending capitalization rates of the Companys
MSRs:

Based upon the composition of the portfolio as of
December 31, 2005, the Company expects MSRs amortization
expense for the five succeeding fiscal years to approximate
$389 million, $311 million, $247 million,
$200 million and $162 million, respectively. This
projection was developed using the assumptions made by the
Company in its December 31, 2005 valuation of the MSRs. The
assumptions underlying this projection may be affected as market
conditions and portfolio composition and behavior change, which
could cause projected amortization expense to change over time.
Therefore, these estimates may change in a manner and amount not
presently determinable by management.

Mortgage Loan Securitizations |
The Company sells residential mortgage loans in securitization
transactions typically retaining one or more of the following:
servicing rights, interest-only strips, principal-only strips
and/or subordinated interests. The Company did not retain any
interests from securitizations in 2005, other than MSRs. Key
economic assumptions used during 2005, 2004 and 2003 to measure

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, the effect of a
variation in a particular assumption is calculated without
changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one
assumption may result in changes in another, which may magnify
or counteract the sensitivities. Further, this analysis does not
assume any impact resulting from managements intervention
to mitigate these variations.

respectively, related to the securitization of residential
mortgage loans which are recorded as Gain on sale of mortgage
loans, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company has made representations and warranties customary
for securitization transactions, including eligibility
characteristics of the mortgage loans and servicing
responsibilities, in connection with the securitization of these
assets. See Note 18, Commitments and
Contingencies.

Derivatives and Risk Management Activities |
The Companys principal market exposure is to interest rate
risk, specifically long-term U.S. Treasury and mortgage
interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets
and commitments. The Company also has exposure to the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and commercial paper
interest rates due to their impact on variable-rate borrowings,
other interest rate sensitive liabilities and net investment in
floating-rate lease assets. The Company uses various financial
instruments, including swap contracts, forward delivery
commitments, futures and options contracts to manage and reduce
this risk.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The following is a description of the Companys risk
management policies related to interest rate lock commitments
(IRLCs), MLHS, MSRs and debt:
Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs represent an
agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant whereby
the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding. The loan
commitment binds the Company (subject to the loan approval
process) to lend funds to a potential borrower at the specified
rate, regardless of whether interest rates have changed between
the commitment date and the loan funding date. The
Companys loan commitments generally range between 30 and
90 days; however, the borrower is not obligated to obtain
the loan. As such, the Companys outstanding IRLCs are
subject to interest rate risk and related price risk during the
period from the IRLC through the loan funding date or expiration
date. In addition, the Company is subject to fallout risk, which
is the risk that an approved borrower will choose not to close
on the loan. The Company uses a combination of forward delivery
commitments and option contracts to manage these risks. The
Company considers historical
commitment-to-closing
ratios to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund
within the terms of the IRLCs.
IRLCs are defined as derivative instruments under
SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 149.
Because IRLCs are considered derivatives, the associated risk
management activities do not qualify for hedge accounting under
SFAS No. 133. Therefore, the IRLCs and the related
derivative instruments are considered freestanding derivatives
and are classified as Other assets or Other liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in their fair values
recorded as a component of Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net
in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. The Company is subject to
interest rate and price risk on its MLHS from the loan funding
date until the date the loan is sold into the secondary market.
The Company uses mortgage forward delivery commitments to hedge
these risks. These forward delivery commitments fix the forward
sales price that will be realized in the secondary market and
thereby reduce the interest rate and price risk to the Company.
Such forward delivery commitments are designated and classified
as fair value hedges to the extent they qualify for hedge
accounting under SFAS No. 133. Forward delivery
commitments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are
considered freestanding derivatives. The forward delivery
commitments are included in Other assets or Other liabilities in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of
all forward delivery commitments are recorded as a component of
Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Changes in the fair value of MLHS are
recorded as a component of Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net
to the extent they qualify for hedge accounting under
SFAS No. 133. Changes in the fair value of MLHS are
not recorded to the extent the hedge relationship is deemed to
be ineffective under SFAS No. 133.
The Company uses the following instruments in its risk
management activities related to its IRLCs and MLHS:
|
|
|
|
|
Forward loan sales commitments: represent obligations to
sell mortgage-backed securities at specified prices in the
future. The value of these instruments increase as mortgage
rates rise. |
|
|
|
Treasury futures: represent obligations to purchase or
deliver U.S. Treasury securities (Treasuries)
at specified prices in the future. Treasury futures increase in
value as the interest rate on the underlying Treasury declines. |
|
|
|
Options on Treasuries: represent rights to buy or sell
Treasuries at specified prices in the future. |

Amount includes $11 million and $8 million of
ineffectiveness recognized on hedges of MLHS during the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to the
application of SFAS No. 133. There was no
ineffectiveness recognized on hedges of MLHS during the year
ended December 31, 2003. In accordance with
SFAS No. 133, the change in the
mark-to-market of MLHS
is only recorded to the extent the related derivatives are
considered hedge effective. The ineffective portion of
designated derivatives represents the change in the fair value
of derivatives for which there were no corresponding changes in
the value of the loans that did not qualify for hedge accounting
under SFAS No. 133. |
|
(2) |
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the
Company recognized $(19) million and $(14) million of
hedge ineffectiveness on derivatives designated as hedges of
MLHS that qualified for hedge accounting under
SFAS No. 133. |
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Companys MSRs are
subject to substantial interest rate risk as the mortgage notes
underlying the MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans.
Therefore, the value of the MSRs tends to diminish in periods of
declining interest rates (as prepayments increase) and increase
in periods of rising interest rates (as prepayments decrease).
The Company uses a combination of derivative instruments to
offset potential adverse changes in the fair value of its MSRs
that could affect reported earnings. The gain or loss on
derivatives will react in the opposite direction of the MSRs
valuation. The MSRs derivatives generally increase in value as
interest rates decline and decrease in value as interest rates
rise. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, the
derivatives associated with the MSRs were designated in a fair
value hedge relationship pursuant to SFAS No. 133. As
of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the
derivatives associated with the MSRs were freestanding
derivatives and were not designated in a hedge relationship
pursuant to SFAS No. 133. These derivatives are
classified as Other assets or Other liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in their fair values
recorded as a component of Amortization and valuation
adjustments related to mortgage servicing rights, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company uses the following instruments in its risk
management activities related to its MSRs:
|
|
|
|
|
Interest rate swap contracts: represent agreements to
exchange interest rate payments on underlying notional amounts.
In the hedge of the Companys MSRs, the Company generally
receives the fixed rate and pays the floating rate. Such
contracts increase in value as interest rates decline. |
|
|
|
Interest rate futures contracts: represent obligations to
purchase or deliver financial instruments at a future date based
upon underlying debt securities (such as Treasuries or
Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie
Mae) mortgage-backed securities). Interest rate futures
contracts increase in value as the interest rate on the
underlying instrument declines. |
134
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
Interest rate forward contracts: represent obligations to
purchase or deliver financial instruments to specific
counterparties at future dates based upon underlying debt
securities. Interest rate forward contracts increase in value as
the interest rate on the underlying instrument declines. |
|
|
|
Mortgage forward contracts: represent obligations to buy
mortgage-backed securities at a specified price in the future.
Sometimes referred to as to be announced securities
(TBAs). Mortgage forward contracts increase in value
as interest rates decline. |
|
|
|
Options on forward contracts: represent rights to buy or
sell the underlying financial instruments such as
mortgage-backed securities. |
|
|
|
Options on futures contracts: represent rights to buy or
sell the underlying financial instruments such as
mortgage-backed securities, generally through an exchange. |
|
|
|
Options on swap contracts: represent rights to enter into
predetermined interest rate swaps at a future date (sometimes
referred to as swaptions). In a receiver swaption,
the fixed rate is received and the floating rate is paid upon
exercise of the option. Receiver swaptions generally increase in
value as rates fall. Conversely, in a payor swaption, the fixed
rate is paid and the floating rate is received upon the exercise
of the option. Payor swaptions generally increase in value as
rates rise. |
|
|
|
Principal-only swaps: represent agreements to exchange
the principal amount of underlying securities and are
economically similar to purchasing principal-only securities.
Principal-only swaps increase in value as interest rates decline. |

Debt. The Company uses various hedging strategies and
derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of
fixed- and floating-rate assets and liabilities. Derivative
instruments used in these hedging strategies include swaps,
interest rate caps and instruments with purchased option
features. To more closely match the characteristics of the
related assets, including the Companys net investment in
floating-rate lease assets, the Company either issues
floating-rate debt or fixed-rate debt, which may be swapped to
floating LIBOR-based rates. The derivatives used to manage the
risk associated with the Companys fixed-rate debt include
instruments
135
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
that were designated as fair value hedges as well as instruments
that were not designated as fair value hedges. The terms of the
derivatives that were designated as fair value hedges match
those of the underlying hedged debt resulting in no net impact
on the Companys results of operations during the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, except to create
the accrual of interest expense at variable rates. The Company
recognized losses of $4 million, $5 million and
$5 million related to instruments which do not qualify for
hedge accounting treatment pursuant to SFAS No. 133
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, which were included in Fleet interest expense and
Mortgage interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. During 2003, the Company terminated certain of its fair
value hedges, which resulted in cash gains of $24 million.
Such gains were deferred and were being recognized over future
periods as a component of interest expense. On February 9,
2005, the Company prepaid $443 million aggregate principal
amount of its outstanding senior notes (see Note 15,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements). As a result, the
unamortized balance of this deferred swap gain was recognized as
a reduction to the prepayment charge incurred in connection with
the debt prepayment, which was included in Spin-Off related
expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income
for the year ended December 31, 2005. Amortization of this
deferred swap gain recorded during the year ended
December 31, 2005 prior to the prepayment was not
significant. During the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003, the Company recorded $5 million and
$4 million of amortization related to this deferred swap
gain, respectively.
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives that convert
floating cash flows to fixed cash flows to manage the risk
associated with its floating-rate debt and net investment in
floating-rate lease assets. Such derivatives may include
freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow
hedges. The amount of gains or losses excluded from Accumulated
other comprehensive income and recorded directly to earnings
resulting from ineffectiveness or from excluding a component of
the derivatives gain or loss from the effectiveness
calculation for cash flow hedges during the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was not significant. The
amount of gains or losses the Company expects to reclassify from
Accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the
next twelve months is not significant. The Company recognized a
net loss of $2 million and a net gain of $1 million
related to instruments that were not designated as cash flow
hedges for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, as a component of Mortgage interest expense and
Fleet interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The total net gain recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Income related to derivatives that convert floating cash flows
to fixed cash flows but were not designated as cash flow hedges
for the year ended December 31, 2003 was not significant.
The Company originates loans in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia. Concentrations of credit risk are
considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple
borrowers with similar characteristics, which could cause their
ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted
by economic or other conditions. California was the only state
that represented more than 10% of the unpaid principal balance
in the Companys loan servicing portfolio, accounting for
approximately 11% of the balance as of December 31, 2005.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 45% of
loans originated by the Company were derived from Realogys
owned real estate brokerage business, NRT, and relocation
business, Cartus or its franchisees. In addition, approximately
24% of the Companys loan originations were derived from
one private label partner during the year ended
December 31, 2005.
The Company is exposed to commercial credit risk for its clients
under the lease and service agreements for PHH Arval. The
Company manages 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 allow PHH
Arval to refuse any additional orders; however, PHH Arval would
remain obligated for all units under contract at that time. The
service agreements can generally be terminated upon 30 days
written notice. PHH Arval has no significant client
concentrations as no client represents more than 5% of the Net
revenues of the business for the year ended
136
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2005. PHH Arvals historical net losses
as a percentage of Net investment in fleet leases have not
exceeded 0.07% in any of the last three years.
The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event
of non-performance by counterparties to various agreements and
sales transactions. The Company manages such risk by evaluating
the financial position and creditworthiness of such
counterparties and/or requiring collateral, typically cash, in
instances in which financing is provided. The Company mitigates
counterparty credit risk associated with its derivative
contracts by monitoring the amount for which it is at risk with
each counterparty to such contracts, requiring collateral
posting, typically cash, above established credit limits,
periodically evaluating counterparty creditworthiness and
financial position, and where possible, dispersing the risk
among multiple counterparties.
As of December 31, 2005, there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty
or groups of counterparties. Concentrations of credit risk
associated with receivables are considered minimal due to the
Companys diverse customer base. With the exception of the
financing provided to customers of its mortgage business, the
Company does not generally require collateral or other security
to support credit sales.

at the inception of each lease. Contingent rentals from
operating leases were $16 million, $7 million and
$3 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Contingent rentals from direct financing
leases were not significant for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. |
The future minimum lease payments disclosed above include the
monthly payments for the unexpired portion of the minimum lease
term, which is twelve months under the Companys open-end
lease agreements, and the residual values guaranteed by the
lessees during the minimum lease term. These leases may be
continued after the minimum lease term at the lessees
election.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Asset-Backed
Debt
|
|
|
Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt |
Vehicle management asset-backed debt primarily represents
floating-rate debt issued under a domestic financing facility,
Chesapeake Funding LLC (Chesapeake), the
Companys wholly owned subsidiary that provides for the
issuance of variable-rate term notes and variable funding notes.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, variable-rate term notes
and variable funding notes outstanding under this arrangement
aggregated $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. As
of December 31, 2005 and 2004, subordinated notes issued by
Terrapin Funding LLC (Terrapin), a consolidated
entity, aggregated $367 million and $370 million,
respectively. Variable-rate term notes, variable funding notes
and the subordinated notes were issued to support the
acquisition of vehicles used by the Fleet Management Services
segments leasing operations. The debt issued was
collateralized by approximately $3.9 billion of leased
vehicles and related assets, primarily included in Net
investment in fleet leases in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005, which are not
available to pay the Companys general obligations. The
titles to all the vehicles collateralizing the debt issued by
Chesapeake are held in a bankruptcy remote trust, and the
Company acts as a servicer of all such leases. The bankruptcy
remote trust also acts as lessor under both operating and direct
financing lease agreements. The holders of the notes receive
cash flows from lease and other related receivables, as well as
receipts from the sale of vehicles. Repayments are required on
the notes as cash inflows are received relating to the
securitized vehicle leases and related assets, but no later than
the final maturity dates specified in the indentures of between
August 2008 and April 2018 for the variable-rate notes and
variable funding notes, and between August 2030 and August 2037
for the subordinated notes. The weighted-average interest rate
of vehicle management asset-backed debt arrangements was 4.8%
and 2.8% as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On July 15, 2005, Chesapeake entered into the
Series 2005-1 Indenture Supplement (the
Supplement) to the Base Indenture dated
June 30, 1999, as amended, pursuant to which Chesapeake
issued $100 million of variable funding notes (the
Notes). On August 8, 2005, Chesapeake amended
the Supplement (the Amended Supplement) to permit
the issuance of up to an additional $600 million of Notes,
bringing the total capacity of the Amended Supplement to
$700 million. This additional asset-backed debt capacity
was used to support the acquisition of vehicles used in PHH
Arvals fleet leasing operations and to retire
$120 million of outstanding term notes. The parties to the
Amended Supplement include Chesapeake as issuer, PHH Arval as
administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent
and indenture trustee, and certain other commercial paper
conduit purchasers, funding agents and banks. The Amended
Supplement was scheduled to expire on July 14, 2006. As
discussed in Note 27, Subsequent Events, on
March 7, 2006, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding
Notes under the Amended Supplement.
As of December 31, 2005, the total capacity under vehicle
management asset-backed debt arrangements was approximately
$3.4 billion, and the Company had no unused capacity
available.

Mortgage Warehouse Asset-Backed Debt |
Bishops Gate is a consolidated bankruptcy remote SPE that
is utilized to warehouse mortgage loans originated by the
Company prior to their sale into the secondary market. As of
December 31, 2005, term notes, subordinated notes and
commercial paper issued by Bishops Gate aggregated
$1.0 billion. As of December 31, 2004, term notes and
subordinated notes issued by Bishops Gate aggregated
$1.3 billion. The debt issued by Bishops Gate was
collateralized by approximately $1.0 billion of underlying
mortgage loans and related assets, primarily recorded in
Mortgage loans held for sale, net in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005. The
activities of Bishops Gate are limited to
(i) purchasing mortgage loans from the Companys
mortgage subsidiary, (ii) issuing commercial paper, senior
term notes, subordinated variable-rate certificates and/or
borrowing under a liquidity agreement to effect such purchases,
(iii) entering into interest rate swaps to hedge interest
rate risk and certain non-credit-related market risk on the
purchased mortgage loans, (iv) selling and securitizing the
acquired mortgage loans to third parties and (v) engaging
in certain related
140
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
transactions. The debt issued by Bishops Gate primarily
represents floating-rate instruments and matures between January
2006 and November 2008. The weighted-average interest rate on
debt issued by Bishops Gate as of December 31, 2005
and 2004 was 4.8% and 2.8%, respectively. See Note 27,
Subsequent Events for a discussion of modifications
made to Bishops Gates mortgage warehouse
asset-backed debt arrangements after December 31, 2005.
The Company also maintains a committed mortgage repurchase
facility (the Mortgage Repurchase Facility) that is
used to finance mortgage loans originated by PHH Mortgage, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company generally
uses this facility to supplement the capacity of Bishops
Gate and unsecured borrowings used to fund the Companys
mortgage warehouse needs. On June 30, 2005, the Company
amended the Mortgage Repurchase Facility by executing the Fourth
Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Repurchase and Servicing
Agreement (the Amended Mortgage Repurchase Facility
Agreement) among Sheffield Receivables Corporation, as
Purchaser, Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch, as Administrative
Agent, PHH Mortgage Corporation, as Seller and Servicer, and PHH
Corporation, as Guarantor. The Amended Mortgage Repurchase
Facility Agreement increased the capacity of the Mortgage
Repurchase Facility from $150 million to $500 million
and eliminated certain restrictions on the eligibility of
underlying mortgage loan collateral. The Mortgage Repurchase
Facility was collateralized by underlying mortgage loans of
$274 million, included in Mortgage loans held for sale, net
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 2005, and is funded by a multi-seller conduit.
As of December 31, 2005, borrowings under this
floating-rate facility were $247 million and bore interest
at 4.3%. There were no borrowings under this facility during the
year ended December 31, 2004. The Mortgage Repurchase
Facility has a one-year term that is renewable on an annual
basis, subject to agreement by both parties. See Note 27,
Subsequent Events for a discussion of modifications
made to the Mortgage Repurchase Facility after December 31,
2005. Depending on anticipated mortgage loan origination volume,
the Company may increase the capacity under the Mortgage
Repurchase Facility subject to agreement with the lender.
During 2005, the Mortgage Venture entered into a
$350 million secured line of credit agreement with Barclays
Bank PLC, Bank of Montreal and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that is
used to finance mortgage loans originated by the Mortgage
Venture. Borrowings outstanding under this secured line of
credit were $177 million as of December 31, 2005 and
were collateralized by underlying mortgage loans of
$241 million, included in Mortgage loans held for sale, net
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. This
floating-rate credit agreement was scheduled to expire on
October 5, 2006 and bore interest at 5.2% on
December 31, 2005. See Note 27, Subsequent
Events for a discussion of modifications made to the
Mortgage Ventures mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt
arrangements after December 31, 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, the total capacity under mortgage
warehouse asset-backed debt arrangements was approximately
$3.3 billion, and the Company had approximately
$1.9 billion of unused capacity available.
Unsecured
Debt
On February 9, 2005, the Company prepaid $443 million
aggregate principal amount of outstanding privately placed
senior notes in cash at an aggregate prepayment price of
$497 million, including accrued and unpaid interest. The
prepayment was made to avoid any potential debt covenant
compliance issues arising from the distributions made prior to
the Spin-Off and the related reduction in the Companys
Stockholders equity. The prepayment price included an
aggregate make-whole amount of $44 million. During the year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a net charge
of $37 million in connection with this prepayment of debt,
which consisted of the $44 million make-whole payment and a
write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of
$1 million, partially offset by net interest rate swap
gains of $8 million. This charge was included in Spin-Off
related expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
141
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The outstanding carrying value of term notes at
December 31, 2005 consisted of $1.1 billion of
publicly issued medium-term notes (the MTNs) issued
under the Indenture, dated as of November 6, 2000 by and
between PHH and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., as
successor trustee for Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as amended
and supplemented, the Indenture) that mature between
January 2007 and April 2018. The outstanding carrying value of
term notes at December 31, 2004 consisted of
$1.4 billion of MTNs and $453 million
($443 million principal amount) of privately placed senior
notes. The effective rate of interest for the MTNs outstanding
as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 6.8% and 6.7%,
respectively. The effective rate of interest for the privately
placed fixed-rate senior notes outstanding as of
December 31, 2004 was 7.6%. See Note 27,
Subsequent Events for a discussion of modifications
made to the Companys MTNs after December 31, 2005.
The Companys policy is to maintain available capacity
under its committed revolving credit facility (described below)
to fully support its outstanding unsecured commercial paper. The
Company had unsecured commercial paper obligations of
$747 million and $130 million as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. This floating-rate commercial paper
matures within 270 days of issuance. The weighted-average
interest rate on outstanding unsecured commercial paper as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.7% and 2.7%, respectively.
The Company was party to a $1.25 billion Three Year
Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement (the
Credit Facility), dated as of June 28, 2004 and
amended as of December 21, 2004, among PHH Corporation, a
group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent. On January 6, 2006, the Company
entered into the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and
Revolving Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit
Facility), among PHH Corporation, a group of lenders and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. See
Note 27, Subsequent Events for more information
regarding the Amended Credit Facility. Pricing under the Credit
Facility was based upon the Companys senior unsecured
long-term debt credit ratings. Borrowings under the Credit
Facility would have matured in June 2007 and, as of
December 31, 2005, bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of
60 basis points (bps). The Credit Facility also
required the Company to pay a per annum facility fee of
15 bps and a per annum utilization fee of approximately
12.5 bps if the Companys usage exceeded 33% of the
aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility. There were no
borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company maintains other
unsecured revolving credit facilities in the ordinary course of
business as displayed in Debt Maturities below. See
Note 27, Subsequent Events for a discussion of
modifications made to the Companys unsecured credit
facilities after December 31, 2005.

Capacity is dependent upon maintaining compliance with, or
obtaining waivers of, the terms, conditions and covenants of the
respective agreements. With respect to asset-backed funding
arrangements, capacity may be further limited by the
availability of asset eligibility requirements under the
respective agreements. |
|
(2) |
Available capacity reflects a reduction in availability under
the facilities due to an allocation against the facilities of
$747 million which fully supports the outstanding unsecured
commercial paper issued by the Company as of December 31,
2005. Under the Companys policy, all of the outstanding
unsecured commercial paper is supported by available capacity
under its unsecured credit facilities. See Note 27,
Subsequent Events for information regarding changes
in the Companys capacity under asset-backed debt
arrangements and committed unsecured credit facilities after
December 31, 2005. |
As of December 31, 2005, the Company also had
$874 million of availability for public debt issuances
under a shelf registration statement. On March 16, 2006,
access to the Companys shelf registration statement for
public debt issuances was no longer available due to the
Companys non-current status with the SEC.
Debt
Covenants
Certain of the Companys debt arrangements require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain restrictive
covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on
indebtedness of material subsidiaries, mergers, liens,
liquidations and sale and leaseback transactions. The Credit
Facility required that the Company maintain: (i) net worth
of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net income, if positive, for
each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2004 and (ii) a
ratio of debt to net worth no greater than 8:1. See
Note 27, Subsequent Events for information
regarding debt covenants in the Amended Credit Facility. The
indentures pursuant to which the publicly issued medium-term
notes have been issued require that the Company maintain a debt
to tangible equity
143
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
ratio of not more than 10:1. These indentures also restrict the
Company from paying dividends if, after giving effect to the
dividend, the debt to equity ratio exceeds 6.5:1. At
December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all
of its financial covenants related to its debt arrangements.
(See Note 27, Subsequent Events for further
information.)

Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits |

|
Defined Contribution Savings Plans |
The Company and the Mortgage Venture sponsor separate defined
contribution savings plans that provide certain eligible
employees of the Company and the Mortgage Venture an opportunity
to accumulate funds for retirement. Prior to the Spin-Off and
the creation of the Mortgage Venture, Cendant sponsored a
similar defined contribution savings plan for the Companys
employees. The Company and the Mortgage Venture match the
contributions of participating employees on the basis specified
by these plans. The Companys cost for contributions to
these plans for continuing operations was $16 million
during each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003.
|
|
|
Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Other Employee Benefit
Plan |
Prior to the Spin-Off, Cendant sponsored a domestic
non-contributory defined benefit pension plan, which covered
certain eligible employees. Benefits were based on an
employees years of credited service and a percentage of
final average compensation, or as otherwise described by the
plan. In addition, Cendant maintained an other post employment
benefits (OPEB) plan for retiree health and welfare
for certain eligible employees.
In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Company is responsible
only for the obligations related to its active employees under
both of these plans, which were transferred to Company-sponsored
plans. Cendant retained responsibility for the current and
future obligations of the Companys retirees as of
January 31, 2005. Both the defined benefit pension plan and
the OPEB plan are frozen plans, wherein the plans only accrue
additional benefits for a very limited number of the
Companys employees. The amounts presented below for the
defined benefit pension plan and the OPEB plan represent those
of the entire Company.
The measurement date for all of the Companys benefit
obligations and plan assets is December 31; however, due to
the Spin-Off, these obligations and assets were also measured at
January 31, 2005. The weighted-average discount rate and
rate of compensation increase used to measure the defined
benefit pension and OPEB plans benefit obligations at
January 31, 2005 were 5.50% and 4.50%, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, the Companys targeted
allocation, by asset category, of the fair value of plan assets
of the defined benefit pension plan is 45% to 77% equity
securities, 30% to 52% fixed income securities and 0% to 6% real
estate. To the extent that the actual allocation of plan assets
differs from the targeted allocation, the Company will consider
rebalancing the assets. The Companys goal is to manage
pension investments over the long term to achieve optimal
returns with an acceptable level of risk and volatility.
The net periodic benefit cost related to the defined benefit
pension plan included the following components:

The expense recorded for the OPEB plan during the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was insignificant. During 2003,
the Company recorded $1 million of expense related to the
OPEB plan. The health care cost trend rate used to determine the
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2005
was 10.0%. This rate decreases gradually to an ultimate rate of
5.0% as of December 31, 2010 and remains at that level
thereafter. The trend rate is a significant factor in
determining the amounts reported. A 1% increase or decrease in
assumed health care cost trend rates in each year would not have
a material effect on the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 2005 or the aggregate service
and interest components of the net periodic postretirement
benefit cost for the year then ended.
The assumed discount rate at December 31, 2005 is based on
Moodys Aa rating for a bond portfolio with a duration
similar to the duration of the liabilities in the defined
benefit pension and OPEB plans at December 31, 2005.

The Company establishes its expected long-term return on assets
considering various factors, which include targeted asset
allocation percentages, historic returns and expected future
returns. These factors are considered in the fourth quarter of
the year preceding the year in which those assumptions are
applied.
As of December 31, 2005, future expected benefit payments,
which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, were as

meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in employee
benefit and tax laws and additional amounts at the discretion of
the Company. The Company made contributions of $6 million
and $7 million to the defined benefit pension plans during
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Company made a $3 million contribution to its defined
benefit plan during the third quarter of 2006 and does not
expect to make any further contributions in 2006.

The valuation allowances of $62 million and
$86 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, primarily relate to state net operating loss
carryforwards. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and
if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that
the net operating loss carryforwards will be realized. The
federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire in
2023 and from 2007 to 2023, respectively.
The Company has an alternative minimum tax credit of
$23 million that is not subject to limitations. The credits
were carefully evaluated, and the appropriate actions were taken
by Cendant and the Company to make the credits available to the
Company after the Spin-Off. The Company has determined at this
time that the Company can utilize the credits in future years;
therefore, no reserve or valuation allowance has been recorded.
No provision has been made for federal deferred income taxes on
approximately $39 million of accumulated and undistributed
earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries at
December 31, 2005 since it is the present intention of
management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely
in those foreign operations. The

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company
recorded a net deferred income tax charge related to the
Spin-Off of $9 million representing the change in estimated
deferred state income taxes and a tax contingency reserve of
$15 million, both of which significantly impacted its
effective tax rate for that year.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company
recorded an $18 million increase in valuation allowances
and a $6 million reduction of the state apportionment
factor, both of which significantly impacted its effective tax
rate for that year.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company
recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$102 million, $96 million of which was not deductible
for federal and state income tax purposes and a $20 million
increase in valuation allowances, both of which significantly
impacted its effective tax rate for that year.
Significant judgment is required in determining the
Companys provision for income taxes and recording the
related assets and liabilities. During the year ended
December 31, 2005, the Company established an accrual in
Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for expected
tax contingencies through a charge to current tax expense in
accordance with SFAS No. 5.
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a tax
sharing agreement with Cendant, more fully described in
Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies. For the
tax periods prior to the Spin-Off, the Company will be included
in Cendants consolidated federal and state income tax
filings. For the tax periods subsequent to the Spin-Off, the
Company will file its own consolidated federal and state income
tax returns.
|
|
18. |
Commitments and Contingencies |
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and Cendant entered
into a tax sharing agreement dated January 31, 2005, which
was amended on December 21, 2005 (the Amended Tax
Sharing Agreement). The Amended Tax Sharing Agreement
governs the allocation of liabilities for taxes between Cendant
and the Company, indemnification for certain tax liabilities and
responsibility for preparing and filing tax returns and
defending tax contests, as well as other tax-related matters.
The Amended Tax Sharing Agreement contains certain provisions
relating to the treatment of the ultimate settlement of Cendant
tax contingencies that relate to audit adjustments due to taxing
authorities review of income tax returns. The
Companys tax basis in certain
149
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
assets may be adjusted in the future, and the Company may be
required to remit tax benefits ultimately realized by the
Company to Cendant in certain circumstances. Certain of the
effects of future adjustments relating to years the Company was
included in Cendants income tax returns that change the
tax basis of assets, liabilities and net operating loss and tax
credit carryforward amounts may be recorded in equity rather
than as an adjustment to the tax provision.
Also, pursuant to the Amended Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company
and Cendant have agreed to indemnify each other for certain
liabilities and obligations. The Companys indemnification
obligations could be significant in certain circumstances. For
example, the Company is required to indemnify Cendant for any
taxes incurred by it and its affiliates as a result of any
action, misrepresentation or omission by the Company or its
affiliates that causes the distribution of the Companys
Common stock by Cendant or the internal reorganization
transactions relating thereto to fail to qualify as tax-free. In
the event that the Spin-Off or the internal reorganization
transactions relating thereto do not qualify as tax-free for any
reason other than the actions, misrepresentations or omissions
of Cendant or the Company or its respective subsidiaries, then
the Company would be responsible for 13.7% of any taxes
resulting from such a determination. This percentage was based
on the relative pro forma net book values of Cendant and the
Company as of September 30, 2004, without giving effect to
any adjustments to the book values of certain long-lived assets
that may be required as a result of the Spin-Off and the related
transactions. The Company cannot determine whether it will have
to indemnify Cendant or its affiliates for any substantial
obligations in the future. The Company also has no assurance
that if Cendant or any of its affiliates is required to
indemnify the Company for any substantial obligations, they will
be able to satisfy those obligations.
The Companys income tax returns for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and for the period from January 1,
2005 to the effective date of the Spin-Off were filed as part of
the Cendant consolidated federal return and certain Cendant
consolidated state returns. The Company filed a consolidated
federal return and state returns, as required, for the remainder
of 2005 on which was reported only its taxable income and the
taxable income of those corporations which were its subsidiaries
subsequent to the Spin-Off. The Companys income tax
provision was based upon estimated taxable income and the
associated estimated differences between the book and tax basis
of the assets and liabilities for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004. Once the Companys and
Cendants income tax returns for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 are reconciled to tax asset and liability
estimates, the Companys tax assets and liabilities will be
adjusted to reflect actual amounts.
Cendant and its subsidiaries are the subject of an Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) audit for the tax years ended
December 31, 1998 through 2002 and the Company, since it
was a subsidiary of Cendant in those years, is included in this
IRS audit of Cendant. The Company will continue to be included
in this audit following the Spin-Off. Any subsequent audits of
Cendant for the tax years ended December 31, 2003 through
2005 would also include the Company for tax periods ending
through the date of the Spin-Off. Pursuant to the Amended Tax
Sharing Agreement, Cendant is responsible for separate state
taxes on a significant number of the Companys income tax
returns for years 2003 and prior. In addition, Cendant is
responsible for adjustments to the Companys federal income
tax returns and for the Companys state and local income
tax returns filed on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis
with Cendant for periods prior to the Spin-Off, except for those
taxes which might be attributable to the Spin-Off or internal
reorganization transactions relating thereto, as more fully
discussed above. The Company will be responsible for any
adjustments to separate state and local income tax returns for
periods after 2003 and for adjustments to federal and all state
and local income tax returns for periods after the Spin-Off.
The June 1999 disposition of the fleet businesses by Cendant was
structured as a tax-free reorganization by Cendant pursuant to
the IRS guidance at the time of the transaction. Accordingly, no
income tax expense was recorded on a majority of the gain from
this transaction. However, pursuant to an interpretive ruling,
the IRS has subsequently taken the position that similarly
structured transactions do not qualify as tax-free
reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code
Section 368(a)(1)(A). An adverse ruling by the IRS on the
tax-free structure of this transaction could create a tax
benefit to the Company, and the Company would be required to pay
Cendant
150
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
any tax benefits that are realized by the Company as a result of
such ruling. Any cash payments that would be made for federal or
state taxes in connection with an adverse ruling are not
expected to be significant.
The Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings
from time to time related to contract disputes and other
commercial, employment and tax matters. Except as disclosed
below, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings that it
believes could have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In March and April 2006, several class actions were filed
against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its former
Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs purport to represent
a class consisting of all persons (other than the Companys
officers and directors and their affiliates) who purchased the
Companys Common stock between May 12, 2005 and
March 1, 2006 (the Class Period). The
plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants
violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5
thereunder. Additionally, two derivative actions were filed in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
against the Company, its former Chief Financial Officer and each
member of its Board of Directors. One of these derivative
actions has since been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs.
The remaining derivative action alleges breaches of fiduciary
duty and related claims based on substantially the same factual
allegations as in the class action suits.
Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, and because
these actions are at a preliminary stage, the Company cannot
accurately predict the ultimate outcome of these matters at this
time. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the
alleged claims in each of these matters. The ultimate resolution
of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
The Company sells a majority of its loans on a non-recourse
basis. The Company also provides representations and warranties
to purchasers and insurers of the loans sold. In the event of a
breach of these representations and warranties, the Company may
be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the
purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be
borne by the Company. If there is no breach of a representation
and warranty provision, the Company has no obligation to
repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor against loss. The
Companys owned servicing portfolio represents the maximum
potential exposure related to representations and warranty
provisions.
Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are
securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac programs. Such
servicing is performed on a non-recourse basis, whereby
foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. The government loans serviced by the Company
are generally securitized through Ginnie Mae programs. These
government loans are either insured against loss by the Federal
Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by
the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, jumbo mortgage
loans are serviced for various investors on a non-recourse basis.
While the majority of the mortgage loans serviced by the Company
were sold without recourse, the Company has a program in which
it provides credit enhancement for a limited period of time to
the purchasers of mortgage loans by retaining a portion of the
credit risk. The retained credit risk, which represents the
unpaid principal balance of the loans, was $5.1 billion as
of December 31, 2005. In addition, the Company has
$594 million of recourse on specific mortgage loans that
have been sold as of December 31, 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a liability of
$20 million, recorded in Other liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, for probable losses related to the
Companys loan servicing portfolio.
151
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Through the Companys wholly owned mortgage reinsurance
subsidiary, Atrium, the Company has entered into contracts with
several primary mortgage insurance companies to provide mortgage
reinsurance on certain mortgage loans in the Companys loan
servicing portfolio. Through these contracts, the Company is
exposed to losses on mortgage loans pooled by year of
origination. Loss rates on these pools are determined based on
the unpaid principal balance of underlying loans. The Company
indemnifies the primary mortgage insurers for loss rates that
fall between a stated minimum and maximum. In return for
absorbing this loss exposure, the Company is contractually
entitled to a portion of the insurance premium from the primary
mortgage insurers. As of December 31, 2005, the Company
provided such mortgage reinsurance for approximately
$11.2 billion of mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio.
As stated above, the Companys contracts with the primary
mortgage insurers limit its maximum potential exposure to
losses, which was $746 million as of December 31,
2005. The Company is required to hold securities in trust
related to this potential obligation, which were included in
Restricted Cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, a
liability of $15 million was recorded in Other liabilities
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for estimated losses
associated with the Companys mortgage reinsurance
activities.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had commitments to
fund mortgage loans with agreed-upon rates or rate protection
amounting to $4.4 billion. Additionally, as of
December 31, 2005, the Company had commitments to fund open
home equity lines of credit of $2.3 billion and
construction loans of $111 million.

Forward Delivery Commitments |
Commitments to sell loans generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a
fee. The Company can settle the forward delivery commitments on
a net basis; therefore, the commitments outstanding do not
necessarily represent future cash obligations. The
Companys $3.8 billion of forward delivery commitments
as of December 31, 2005 generally will be settled within
90 days of the individual commitment date.
The Company is committed to making rental payments under
noncancelable operating leases covering various facilities and
equipment. Future minimum lease payments required under
noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2005 were
as follows:

Commitments under capital leases as of December 31, 2005
and 2004 were not significant. During the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred
rental expense of $35 million, $35 million and
$33 million, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company makes various
commitments to purchase goods or services from specific
suppliers, including those related to capital expenditures.
Aggregate purchase commitments made by the Company as of
December 31, 2005 were approximately $45 million. Of
this aggregate amount, $12 million represented a contract
for software services to be provided to the Company over the
next two fiscal years. An additional $10 million included
in the aggregate amount was associated with an outsource
contract to provide payroll, benefits and human resources
administration to the Company.
|
|
|
Indemnification of Cendant |
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a
separation agreement with Cendant (the Separation
Agreement), pursuant to which, the Company has agreed to
indemnify Cendant for any losses (other than losses relating to
taxes, indemnification for which is provided in the Amended Tax
Sharing Agreement) that any party seeks to impose upon Cendant
or its affiliates that relate to, arise or result from:
(i) any of the Companys liabilities, including, among
other things: (a) all liabilities reflected in the
Companys pro forma balance sheet as of September 30,
2004 or that would be, or should have been, reflected in such
balance sheet, (b) all liabilities relating to the
Companys business whether before or after the date of the
Spin-Off, (c) all liabilities that relate to, or arise from
any performance guaranty of Avis in connection with indebtedness
issued by Chesapeake, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
(d) any liabilities relating to the Companys or its
affiliates employees, and (e) all liabilities that
are expressly allocated to the Company or its affiliates, or
which are not specifically assumed by Cendant or any of its
affiliates, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Amended
Tax Sharing Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement;
(ii) any breach by the Company or its affiliates of the
Separation Agreement, the Amended Tax Sharing Agreement or the
Transition Services Agreement; and (iii) any liabilities
relating to information in the registration statement on
Form 8-A filed
with the SEC on January 18, 2005, the information statement
filed by the Company as an exhibit to its Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on
January 19, 2005 (the January 19, 2005
Form 8-K) or
the investor presentation filed as an exhibit to the
January 19, 2005
Form 8-K, other
than portions thereof provided by Cendant.
There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential
amount of future payments to be made under this indemnification,
nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum
potential amount of future payments to be made under this
indemnification, if any, as the triggering events are not
subject to predictability.
|
|
|
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees |
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into
numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and
indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for
breaches of representations and warranties. Such guarantees or
indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including
those governing leases of real estate, access to credit
facilities and use of derivatives and issuances of debt or
equity securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are
for the benefit of the buyers in sale agreements and sellers in
purchase agreements, landlords in lease contracts, financial
institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative
contracts and underwriters in debt or equity security issuances.
While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of
the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the
term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject
to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific
limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments
that the Company could be required to make under these
guarantees, and the Company is unable to develop an estimate of
the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under
these guarantees, if any, as the triggering events are not
subject to predictability. With
153
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as
indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the
use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company
maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential
payments to be made.
|
|
19. |
Stock-Related Matters |
In connection with and in order to consummate the Spin-Off, on
January 27, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized and approved a 52,684-for-one common stock split, to
be effected by a stock dividend at such ratio. The record date
with regard to such stock split was January 28, 2005. The
effect of this stock split is detailed in the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity for the year
ended December 31, 2005. The effect on Common stock and
Additional paid-in capital is reflected in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets at December 31, 2005 and 2004. All
references to the number of common shares and earnings per share
amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets,
Consolidated Statements of Income and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements reflect this stock split.
The Company entered into a rights agreement dated as of
January 28, 2005 which entitles the Companys
stockholders to acquire shares of its Common stock at a price
equal to 50% of the then-current market value in limited
circumstances when a third party acquires beneficial ownership
of 15% or more of the Companys outstanding Common stock or
commences a tender offer for at least 15% of the Companys
Common stock, in each case, in a transaction that the
Companys Board of Directors does not approve. Under these
limited circumstances, all of the Companys stockholders,
other than the person or group that caused the rights to become
exercisable, would become entitled to effect discounted
purchases of the Companys Common stock which would
significantly increase the cost of acquiring control of the
Company without the support of the Companys Board of
Directors.
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a
letter agreement dated January 31, 2005 with Cendant
requiring the Company to purchase shares of the Companys
Common stock held by Cendant following the Spin-Off. Pursuant to
the agreement, the Company purchased a total of
117,294 shares from Cendant during the year ended
December 31, 2005, for an aggregate purchase price of
$3 million, or an average of $21.73 per share. The
Companys obligations related to this agreement were
satisfied as of February 15, 2005.
On September 9, 2005, the Company announced an odd lot buy
back program (the Program) pursuant to which
stockholders owning fewer than 100 shares of the
Companys Common stock could sell all their shares or
purchase enough additional shares to increase their holdings to
100 shares. From September 9, 2005 to
November 16, 2005, the Company was authorized to purchase
up to 175,000 shares under the Program. The net number of
shares repurchased under the Program was 138,905 for an
aggregate purchase price of $4 million, or an average of
$27.22 per share. The Program expired on November 16,
2005.
All repurchased shares have been returned to the status of
authorized and unissued shares of the Company.
|
|
|
Restrictions on Paying Dividends |
Many of the Companys subsidiaries (including certain
consolidated partnerships, trusts and other non-corporate
entities) are subject to restrictions on their ability to pay
dividends or otherwise transfer funds to other consolidated
subsidiaries and, ultimately, to PHH Corporation (the parent
company). These restrictions relate to loan agreements
applicable to certain of the Companys asset-backed debt
arrangements and to regulatory restrictions applicable to the
equity of the Companys insurance subsidiary, Atrium. The
aggregate restricted net
154
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
assets of these subsidiaries totaled $1.4 billion as of
December 31, 2005. These restrictions on net assets of
certain subsidiaries, however, do not directly limit the
Companys ability to pay dividends from consolidated
Retained earnings. As discussed in Note 15, Debt and
Borrowing Arrangements, certain of the Companys debt
arrangements require maintenance of ratios and contain
restrictive covenants applicable to consolidated financial
statement elements that potentially could limit its ability to
pay dividends.

Stock-Based Compensation |
Prior to the Spin-Off, the Companys employees were awarded
stock-based compensation in the form of Cendant common shares,
options and restricted stock units (RSUs).
Subsequent to the Spin-Off, certain Cendant stock-based awards
previously granted to the Companys employees were
converted into options and RSUs of the Company. The conversion
of the stock-based compensation was based on maintaining the
intrinsic value of each employees previous Cendant grants
through an adjustment of both the number of options or RSUs and,
in the case of options, the exercise price. This computation
resulted in a change in the fair value of the awards immediately
prior to the conversion compared to immediately following the
conversion and, accordingly, a $4 million charge was
recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005, which was
included in Spin-Off related expenses in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Income.
Subsequent to the Spin-Off, certain Company employees were
awarded stock-based compensation in the form of RSUs and options
to purchase shares of PHH Common stock under the PHH Corporation
2005 Equity and Incentive Plan (the Plan). The
awards vest over periods ranging from four to six years, some
based upon the achievement of certain performance-based
criteria. Options awarded expire ten years after the grant date.
The Plan also allows awards of stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock and other stock- or cash-based awards. The
maximum number of shares of PHH Common stock issuable under the
Plan is 7,500,000, including those Cendant awards that were
converted into PHH awards in connection with the Spin-Off.
155
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Companys policy is to grant options with exercise
prices at then-current fair market value of the Companys
shares of Common stock. In 2005, in accordance with its policy
at the time, the Company calculated fair market value for
purposes of determining exercise prices for options granted by
averaging the opening and closing share price for the
Companys Common stock for the day prior to the grant. As a
result, all of the options granted by the Company during eleven
months ended December 31, 2005 were granted at exercise
prices that were less than the market price of the stock on the
grant date. Subsequent to grants made during the year ended
December 31, 2005, the Company has changed its policy for
calculating the fair market value for purposes of determining
exercise prices for options granted such that the fair market
value will be the closing share price for the Companys

RSUs granted by the Company entitle the Companys employees
to receive one share of PHH Common stock upon the vesting of
each RSU. From February 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005,
the Company granted 501,512 RSUs with a weighted-average

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Deferred compensation associated with RSUs recorded in
connection with the Spin-Off was $27 million and is
included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Stockholders Equity for the year ended December 31,
2005. The deferred compensation balance was $31 million as
of December 31, 2005, and is amortized to expense based
upon estimates for achieving the related vesting criteria during
the remaining vesting period of the RSUs. If the vesting
criteria are not achieved, the underlying RSUs will not vest and
the deferred compensation balance and any related expense will
be reversed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined
by reference to market values resulting from trading on a
national securities exchange or in an
over-the-counter
market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value is based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of
Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Investment
securities, Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all financial
instruments were as follows:

Related Party Transactions |
Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company entered into various
agreements with Cendant and Cendants real estate services
division in connection with the Spin-Off (collectively, the
Spin-Off Agreements), including (i) the
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement and related trademark
license, management services, marketing agreements, and other
agreements for the purpose of originating and selling mortgage
loans primarily sourced through NRT, Cartus and TRG, which
commenced operations in October 2005, and is consolidated within
the Companys financial statements; (ii) a strategic
relationship agreement whereby Cendants real estate
services division and the Company have agreed on
non-competition, indemnification and exclusivity arrangements
(the Strategic Relationship Agreement);
(iii) the Separation Agreement that requires the exchange
of information with Cendant and other provisions regarding the
Companys separation from Cendant; (iv) the Amended
Tax Sharing Agreement governing the allocation of liability for
taxes between Cendant and the Company, indemnification for
liability for taxes and responsibility for preparing and filing
tax returns and defending tax contests, as well as other
tax-related matters; and (v) the Transition Services
Agreement governing certain continuing arrangements between the
Company and Cendant to provide for the transition of the Company
from a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant to an independent,
publicly traded company.
Prior to and as part of the Spin-Off, Cendant made a cash
contribution to the Company of $100 million and the Company
distributed assets net of liabilities of $593 million to
Cendant. Such amount included the historical cost of the net
assets of the Companys former relocation and fuel card
businesses, certain other assets and liabilities per the
Spin-Off Agreements and the net amount of forgiveness of certain
payables and receivables, including income taxes, between the
Company, its former relocation and fuel card businesses and
Cendant.
On May 12, 2005, PHH Broker Partner and Realogy Venture
Partner entered into an amendment to the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement (the Amended Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement). Pursuant to the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement, Realogy Venture Partner has the right to
terminate the Strategic Relationship Agreement and terminate the
Mortgage Venture in the event of:
|
|
|
|
|
a Regulatory Event (defined below) continuing for six months or
more; provided that the Company may defer termination on account
of a Regulatory Event for up to six additional one-month periods
by paying Realogy a $1.0 million fee at the beginning of
each such one-month period; |
|
|
|
a change in control of PHH involving a competitor of Realogy or
certain other specified parties; |
|
|
|
a material breach, not cured within the requisite cure period,
by the Company or its affiliates of the representations,
warranties, covenants or other agreements related to the
formation of the Mortgage Venture; |
|
|
|
failure by the Mortgage Venture to make scheduled distributions
pursuant to the Amended Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement; |
|
|
|
bankruptcy or insolvency of PHH, or |
|
|
|
any act or omission by PHH that causes or would reasonably be
expected to cause material harm to Realogy. |
A Regulatory Event is a situation in which
(i) PHH Mortgage or the Mortgage Venture becomes subject to
any regulatory order, or any governmental entity initiates a
proceeding with respect to PHH Mortgage or the Mortgage Venture,
and (ii) such regulatory order or proceeding prevents or
materially impairs the Mortgage Ventures ability to
originate loans for any period of time in a manner that
adversely affects the value of one or more quarterly
distributions to be paid by the Mortgage Venture pursuant to the
Amended Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement; provided, however,
that a Regulatory Event does not include (a) any order,
directive or interpretation or change in law, rule or
regulation, in any such case that is applicable generally to
companies
158
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
engaged in the mortgage lending business such that PHH Mortgage
or such affiliate or the Mortgage Venture is unable to cure the
resulting circumstances described in (ii) above, or
(b) any regulatory order or proceeding that results solely
from acts or omissions on the part of Cendant or its affiliates.
In addition, beginning on February 1, 2015, Realogy Venture
Partner may terminate the Amended Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement at any time by giving two years notice to the
Company. Upon termination of the Amended Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement by Realogy Venture Partner, Realogy will
have the option either to require that PHH purchase
Realogys interest in the Mortgage Venture at fair value,
plus, in certain cases, liquidated damages, or to cause the
Company to sell its interest in the Mortgage Venture to a third
party designated by Realogy at fair value plus, in certain
cases, liquidated damages. In the case of a termination by
Realogy following a change in control of PHH, the Company may be
required to make a cash payment to Realogy in an amount equal to
its allocable share of the Mortgage Ventures trailing
twelve months net income multiplied by the greater of
(i) the number of years remaining in the first
twelve years of the term of the Mortgage Venture Operating
Agreement or (ii) two years.
The Company has the right to terminate the Amended Mortgage
Venture Operating Agreement upon, among other things, a material
breach by Realogy of a material provision of the Amended
Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement, in which case the Company
has the right to purchase Realogys interest in the
Mortgage Venture at a price derived from an agreed-upon formula
based upon fair market value (which is determined with reference
to that trailing twelve months earnings before income taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)) for the
Mortgage Venture and the average market EBITDA multiple for
mortgage banking companies.
Upon termination of the Mortgage Venture, all of the Mortgage
Venture agreements will terminate automatically (excluding
certain privacy, non-competition, venture-related transition
provisions and other general provisions), and Realogy will be
released from any restrictions under the Mortgage Venture
agreements that may restrict its ability to pursue a
partnership, joint venture or another arrangement with any
third-party mortgage operation.

Corporate Expenses and Dividends |
Prior to the Spin-Off and in the ordinary course of business,
the Company was allocated certain expenses from Cendant for
corporate functions including executive management, accounting,
tax, finance, human resources, information technology, legal and
facility related expenses. Cendant allocated these corporate
expenses to subsidiaries conducting ongoing operations based on
a percentage of the subsidiaries forecasted revenues. Such
expenses amounted to $3 million, $32 million and
$36 million during the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, at December 31,
2004, the Company had a $131 million receivable from
Cendant, representing amounts paid by the Company on behalf of
Cendant, net of the accumulation of corporate allocations and
amounts paid by Cendant on behalf of the Company. Amounts
receivable from Cendant were included in Other assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004. As
described above, in connection with the Spin-Off, certain
payables and receivables between Cendant and the Company were
forgiven. Accordingly, there was no such receivable from Cendant
as of December 31, 2005.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
the Company paid Cendant $140 million (or $2.66 per
share after giving effect to the 52,684-for-one stock split
effected January 28, 2005) of cash dividends. The Company
did not pay cash dividends to Cendant during the year ended
December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31,
2004, the Company transferred a subsidiary owned by STARS to a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant not within the Companys
ownership structure. The net assets of the subsidiary
transferred were $16 million.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company conducts its operations through three business
segments: Mortgage Production, Mortgage Servicing and Fleet
Management Services. Certain income and expenses not allocated
to the three reportable segments are reported under the heading
Other.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company changed the
composition of its reportable business segments by separating
the business that was formerly called the Mortgage Services
segment into two segments the Mortgage Production
segment and the Mortgage Servicing segment. All prior period
segment information has been revised for comparability to
reflect the Companys new reportable segments presentation.
Due to the commencement of operations of the Mortgage Venture in
the fourth quarter of 2005, the Companys management began
evaluating the operating results of each of its reportable
segments based upon Net revenues and segment profit or loss,
which is presented as the income or loss from continuing
operations before income tax provisions and after Minority
interest. The Mortgage Production segment profit or loss
excludes Cendants minority interest in the profits and
losses of the Mortgage Venture. Prior to the commencement of the
Mortgage Venture operations, PHH Mortgage was party to marketing
agreements with NRT and Cendant Mobility (now Cartus), wherein
PHH Mortgage paid fees for services provided. These marketing
agreements terminated when the Mortgage Venture commenced
operations. The provisions of the Strategic Relationship
Agreement and marketing agreements entered into in connection
with the Spin-Off govern the manner in which the Mortgage
Venture and PHH Mortgage, respectively, are recommended by NRT,
Cartus and TRG.

On January 6, 2006, the Company entered into the Amended
Credit Facility, which increased the capacity of the Credit
Facility from $1.25 billion to $1.30 billion, extended
the termination date from June 28, 2007 to January 6,
2011 and created a $50 million United States dollar
equivalent Canadian sub-facility, which is available to the
Companys Fleet Management Services operations in Canada.
Pricing under the Amended Credit Facility is based upon the
Companys senior unsecured long-term debt ratings. If the
ratings on the Companys senior unsecured long-term debt
assigned by Moodys Investors Service, Standard &
Poors and Fitch Ratings are not equivalent to each other,
the second highest credit rating assigned by them determines
pricing under the Amended Credit Facility. Borrowings under the
Amended Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of
38 bps. The Amended Credit Facility also requires the
Company to pay a per annum facility fee of 12 bps and a per
annum utilization fee of 10 bps if its usage exceeds 50% of
the aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Facility. In
the event that the Companys second highest credit rating
is downgraded, the margin over LIBOR would become 47.5 bps
for the first downgrade and 70 bps for subsequent
downgrades, the facility fee would become 15 bps for the
first downgrade and 17.5 bps for subsequent downgrades and
the utilization fee would become 12.5 bps for the first
downgrade and any subsequent downgrades. The Amended Credit
Facility requires that the Company maintain: (i) on the
last day of each fiscal quarter, net worth of $1.0 billion
plus 25% of net income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter
ended after December 31, 2004 and (ii) at any time, a
ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 10:1.
On January 13, 2006, PHH Mortgage extended the expiration
date for its $500 million Mortgage Repurchase Facility to
January 12, 2007.
On March 7, 2006, Chesapeake changed its name to Chesapeake
Finance Holdings LLC (Chesapeake Finance), and it
and Terrapin redeemed all of their outstanding term notes,
variable funding notes and subordinated notes (with aggregate
outstanding principal balances of $1.1 billion,
$1.7 billion and $367 million, respectively) and
terminated the agreements associated with those borrowings.
Concurrently, Chesapeake Funding LLC, a newly formed wholly
owned subsidiary, issued two series of up to $2.7 billion
and $1.0 billion of variable funding notes under
Series 2006-1 and Series 2006-2, respectively, to fund
the redemption of this debt and provide additional committed
funding for the Fleet Management Services operations. The newly
issued variable funding notes are collateralized by leased
vehicles and related assets that are primarily included in Net
investment in fleet leases in the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The assets collateralizing the liabilities of
Chesapeake Funding LLC are not available to pay the
Companys general obligations. The Series 2006-1 and
Series 2006-2 notes will mature on March 6, 2007 and
December 1, 2006, respectively.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On March 16, 2006, access to the Companys shelf
registration statement for public debt issuances was no longer
available due to the Companys non-current status with the
SEC.
On April 6, 2006, the Company entered into a
$500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the
$500 Million Agreement) with a group of lenders
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that
expires on April 5, 2007. Pricing, transaction terms and
financial covenants, including the net worth and ratio of
indebtedness to tangible net worth restrictions under the
$500 Million Agreement are substantially the same as those
under the Amended Credit Facility with the addition of a
facility fee of 10 bps against the outstanding commitments
under the facility as of October 6, 2006.
On June 1, 2006, the Mortgage Venture entered into a
$350 million repurchase facility with Bank of Montreal and
Barclays Bank PLC as Bank Principals and Fairway Finance
Company, LLC and Sheffield Receivables Corporation as Conduit
Principals. The obligations under the repurchase facility are
collateralized by underlying mortgage loans. The cost of the
facility is based upon the commercial paper issued by the
Conduit Principals plus a program fee of 30 bps. In
addition, the Mortgage Venture pays a liquidity fee of
approximately 20 bps on the program size. The maturity date
for this facility is June 1, 2009, subject to annual
renewals of certain underlying conduit liquidity arrangements.
Effective June 27, 2006, the Company amended the agreement
governing the Mortgage Ventures $350 million secured
line of credit to reduce the capacity under this credit
agreement to $200 million.
On July 12, 2006, Bishops Gate received a notice (the
Notice), dated July 10, 2006, from The Bank of
New York, as Indenture Trustee (the Trustee), that
certain events of default had occurred under the Base Indenture
dated December 11, 1998 (the Bishops Gate
Indenture) between the Trustee and Bishops Gate,
pursuant to which Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Loan
Medium-Term Notes and Variable-Rate Notes, Series 1999-1,
Due 2006 and Variable-Rate Notes, Series 2001-2, Due 2008
(collectively, the Bishops Gate Notes) were
issued. The Notice indicated that events of default occurred as
a result of Bishops Gates failure to provide the
Trustee with the Companys and certain other audited and
unaudited quarterly financial statements as required under the
Bishops Gate Indenture. While the Notice further informed
the holders of the Bishops Gate Notes of these events of
default, the Notice received did not constitute a notice of
acceleration of repayment of the Bishops Gate Notes. The
Notice created an event of default under the Amended and
Restated Liquidity Agreement, dated as of December 11,
1998, as further amended and restated as of December 2,
2003, among Bishops Gate, certain banks listed therein and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Agent (the Bishops Gate
Liquidity Agreement).
As of August 15, 2006, the Company received all of the
required approvals and executed a Supplemental Indenture to the
Bishops Gate Indenture waiving any event of default
arising as a result of the failure to provide the Trustee with
the Companys and certain other audited annual and
unaudited quarterly financial statements as required under the
Bishops Gate Indenture. This waiver is effective provided
that such financial statements are delivered to the Trustee and
the rating agencies on the earlier of December 31, 2006 or
the date on or after September 30, 2006 by which such
financial statements are required to be delivered to the bank
group under the Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement. Also
executed was a related waiver of the default under the
Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement caused by the Notice
under the Bishops Gate Indenture for failure to deliver
the required financial statements. A subsequent waiver to the
Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement became effective on
September 30, 2006, which extended the delivery date for
2005 annual audited financial statements to November 30,
2006 and to December 29, 2006 for the quarterly unaudited
financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2006,
June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006. Per the
previously obtained approvals under the Supplemental Indenture
to the Bishops Gate Indenture, the financial statement
delivery requirements under the Bishops Gate Indenture
have been extended to deadlines that are identical to the
Bishops Gate Liquidity Agreement.
On July 21, 2006, the Company entered into a
$750 million unsecured credit agreement (the Tender
Support Facility) with a group of lenders and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that expires on
April 5, 2007. The Tender Support Facility provides
$750 million of capacity solely for the repayment of the
MTNs, and
168
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
was put in place in conjunction with the Companys tender
and consent offer discussed below. Pricing under the Tender
Support Facility is based upon the Companys senior
unsecured long-term debt ratings assigned by Moodys
Investors Service and Standard & Poors. If those
ratings are not equivalent to each other, the higher credit
rating assigned by them determines pricing under this agreement,
unless there is more than one rating level difference between
the two ratings, in which case the rating one level below the
higher rating is applied. Borrowings under this agreement bear
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 60 bps on or before
December 14, 2006 and 75 bps after December 14,
2006. In the event that the Companys higher credit rating
is downgraded on or before December 14, 2006, the margin
over LIBOR would become 87.5 bps for the first downgrade
and 125 bps for subsequent downgrades. After
December 14, 2006, the margin over LIBOR would become
100 bps for the first downgrade and 150 bps for
subsequent downgrades. The Tender Support Facility also requires
the Company to pay an initial fee of 10 bps of the
commitment and a per annum facility fee of 12 bps. In the
event that the Companys higher credit rating is downgraded
on or before December 14, 2006, the per annum facility fee
would become 15 bps for the first downgrade and 20 bps
for subsequent downgrades. After December 14, 2006, the per
annum facility fee would become 17.5 bps for the first
downgrade and 22.5 bps for subsequent downgrades. In
addition, the Company is subject to up to an additional
15 bps in fees against drawn amounts under the Tender
Support Facility. The net worth and net ratio of indebtedness to
tangible net worth restrictions under the Tender Support
Facility are generally consistent with those under the Amended
Credit Facility.
On July 31, 2006, Cendant executed a spin-off of both
Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation. The 49.9% ownership
in the Mortgage Venture was included in the spin-off of Realogy,
which owns NRT and Cartus and franchises to real estate
brokerage companies under the Century 21, Coldwell Banker,
ERA and Sothebys International Realty brands. On
September 1, 2006, Cendant Corporation changed its name to
Avis Budget Group, Inc.
On September 14, 2006, the Company concluded a tender offer
and consent solicitation (the Offer) for MTNs issued
under the Indenture. The Company received consents on behalf of
$585 million and tenders on behalf of $416 million of
the aggregate notional principal amount of the
$1.081 billion of the MTNs. Borrowings of $415 million
were drawn under the Companys Tender Support Facility to
fund the bulk of the tendered bonds. Upon receipt of the
required consents related to the Offer, the Company entered into
Supplemental Indenture No. 4 to the Indenture governing the
MTNs (Supplemental Indenture No. 4) with the
trustee on August 31, 2006, pursuant to which the deadline
for the delivery of the Companys financial statements to
the trustee was extended to December 31, 2006, if
necessary. In addition, Supplemental Indenture No. 4
provided for the waiver of all defaults that have occurred prior
to August 31, 2006 relating to the Companys financial
statements and other delivery requirements.
On September 20, 2006, Bishops Gate retired
$400 million of term notes and $51 million of
subordinated notes in accordance with their scheduled maturity
dates. Accordingly, availability under the Companys
mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt arrangements has been
reduced by $451 million. Funds for the retirement of this
debt were provided by a combination of the sale of mortgage
loans and the issuance of commercial paper by Bishops Gate.
On September 28, 2006, the maturity date of the Mortgage
Ventures $200 million secured line of credit was
extended to January 3, 2007.
On September 29, 2006, the Company received an extension to
file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 from the New York Stock
Exchange. This extension allows for the continued listing of its
Common stock through January 2, 2007, subject to review by
the New York Stock Exchange on an ongoing basis.
On October 30, 2006, the Company further amended the
Mortgage Repurchase Facility by executing the Fifth Amended and
Restated Master Repurchase Agreement (the Repurchase
Agreement) and the Servicing Agreement (together with the
Repurchase Agreement, the Amended Repurchase
Agreements). The Amended Repurchase Agreements increased
the capacity of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility from
$500 million to
169
PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
$750 million, expanded the eligibility of underlying
mortgage loan collateral and modified certain other covenants
and terms. In addition, the Mortgage Repurchase Facility has
been modified to conform to the revised bankruptcy remoteness
rules with regard to repurchase facilities adopted by the IRS in
October 2005. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility as amended by the
Amended Repurchase Agreements has a one-year term expiring on
October 29, 2007 that is renewable on an annual basis,
subject to agreement by the parties. The assets collateralizing
this facility are not available to pay the Companys
general obligations.
Under many of the Companys financing, servicing, hedging
and related agreements and instruments, the Company is required
to provide consolidated and/or subsidiary-level audited annual
financial statements, unaudited quarterly financial statements
and other documents. The delay in completing the 2005 audited
financial statements, as well as the restatement of prior period
financial results created the potential for breaches under these
agreements for failure to deliver the financial statements
and/or documents by specified deadlines, as well as potential
breaches of other covenants. The Company obtained waivers to
extend financial statement delivery and other document deadlines
(the Deadlines) as well as waive certain other
potential breaches under its Amended Credit Agreement, the
$500 Million Agreement, the Bishops Gate Liquidity
Agreement, the financing agreements for Chesapeake Funding LLC
and other financing agreements. Initial waivers were obtained to
extend the Deadlines to June 15, 2006, and subsequent
waivers were obtained to extend the Deadlines to
September 30, 2006. The Company has obtained waivers under
these facilities, the Tender Support Facility and other
agreements which waive certain potential breaches of covenants
under those instruments and extend the Deadlines (the
Extended Deadlines) for the delivery of its
financial statements and other documents to the various lenders
under those instruments. With respect to the Companys
Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, the Extended Deadline is
December 29, 2006. An additional waiver was not needed for
the extension of the delivery date for the Chesapeake Funding
LLC annual servicing report as this report was provided to the
lenders by the existing September 30, 2006 deadline.
As discussed in Note 27, Subsequent Events,
under many of the Companys financing, servicing, hedging
and related agreements and instruments (collectively, its
Financing Agreements), the Company is required to
deliver annual and quarterly financial statements within a
specified period after the date of such financial statements.
Also as discussed in Note 27, Subsequent
Events, through negotiations with the lenders and trustees
under the Financing Agreements, the Company has obtained
extensions of the deadlines for delivery of annual and quarterly
financial statements in the past. Most recently, the deadlines
for delivery of the quarterly unaudited financial statements for
the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006 have been extended to December 29,
2006. Due to the existence of material weaknesses in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting and
delays in completing the 2005 audited financial statements, it
is now uncertain whether the Company can issue its 2006
quarterly financial statements within this extended date. It is
also uncertain as to whether the Company can issue its 2006
annual and 2007 quarterly financial statements within the
deadlines prescribed in its Financing Agreements or by the SEC.
The Company is negotiating with the lenders and trustees to the
Financing Agreements to extend the existing waivers and believes
such further extensions will be granted before the expiration of
the current deadlines. The Company is not presently in default
under any of the Financing Agreements.
If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient extensions and
financial statements are not delivered timely, the lenders have
the right to demand payment of amounts due under the Financing
Agreements either immediately or after a specified grace period.
In addition, because of
cross-default
provisions, amounts owed under other borrowing arrangements may
become due or, in the case of
asset-backed debt, new
borrowings may be precluded. Since repayments are required on
asset-backed debt as
cash inflows are received relating to the securitized assets,
new borrowings are necessary for the Company to continue normal
operations. Therefore, unless the Company can obtain the
necessary further extensions or negotiate alternative borrowing
arrangements, the uncertainty about the Companys ability
to meet its financial statement delivery requirements raises
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue
as a going concern.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of PHH
Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PHH
Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2005, and have issued our
report thereon dated November 22, 2006 (which report
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements and included explanatory paragraphs regarding the
Companys adoption of new accounting standards, the
restatement of the 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial
statements, and the uncertainty about the Companys ability
to comply with certain of its financing agreement covenants
relating to the timely filing of the Companys financial
statements which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern); such report is included elsewhere
in this Form 10-K.
We were engaged to audit, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, and our report
dated November 22, 2006 disclaimed an opinion on
managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting because
of a scope limitation and expressed an adverse opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting because of material weaknesses. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedules listed in
Item 15. The financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits. In
our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered
in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

Unsecured
Debt
On February 9, 2005, PHH Corporation prepaid
$443 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding
privately placed senior notes in cash at an aggregate prepayment
price of $497 million, including accrued and unpaid
interest. The prepayment was made to avoid any potential debt
covenant compliance issues arising from the distributions made
prior to the PHH Corporations spin-off from Cendant and
the related reduction in PHH Corporations
Stockholders equity. The prepayment price included an
aggregate make-whole amount of $44 million. During the year
ended December 31, 2005, PHH Corporation recorded a net
charge of $37 million in connection with this prepayment of
debt, which consisted of the $44 million make-whole payment
and a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of
$1 million, partially offset by net interest rate swap
gains of $8 million. This charge was included in Spin-Off
related expenses in the Condensed Statement of Income for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
The outstanding carrying value of term notes at
December 31, 2005 consisted of $1.1 billion of
publicly issued medium-term notes (the MTNs) issued
under the Indenture, dated as of November 6, 2000 by and
between PHH Corporation and J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
N.A., as successor trustee for Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as
amended and supplemented, the Indenture) that mature
between January 2007 and April 2018. The outstanding carrying
value of term notes at December 31, 2004 consisted of
$1.4 billion of MTNs and $453 million
($443 million principal amount) of privately placed senior
notes. The effective rate of interest for the MTNs outstanding
as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 6.8% and 6.7%,
respectively. The effective rate of interest for the privately
placed fixed-rate senior notes outstanding as of
December 31, 2004 was 7.6%. See Note 3,
Subsequent Events for a discussion of modifications
made to the MTNs after December 31, 2005.
PHH Corporations policy is to maintain available capacity
under its committed revolving credit facility (described below)
to fully support its outstanding unsecured commercial paper. PHH
Corporation had unsecured commercial paper obligations of
$747 million and $130 million as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. This floating-rate commercial paper
matures within 270 days of issuance. The weighted-average
interest rate on outstanding unsecured commercial paper as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 4.7% and 2.7%, respectively.

PHH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
PHH Corporation was party to a $1.25 billion Three Year
Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement (the
Credit Facility), dated as of June 28, 2004 and
amended as of December 21, 2004, among PHH Corporation, a
group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent. On January 6, 2006, PHH Corporation
entered into the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and
Revolving Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit
Facility), among PHH Corporation, a group of lenders and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. See
Note 3, Subsequent Events for more information
regarding the Amended Credit Facility. Pricing under the Credit
Facility was based upon PHH Corporations senior unsecured
long-term debt credit ratings. Borrowings under the Credit
Facility would have matured in June 2007 and, as of
December 31, 2005, bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of
60 basis points (bps). The Credit Facility also
required PHH Corporation to pay a per annum facility fee of
15 bps and a per annum utilization fee of approximately
12.5 bps if PHH Corporations usage exceeded 33% of
the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility. There were
no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004. See Note 3,
Subsequent Events for a discussion of modifications
made to the PHH Corporations unsecured credit facilities
after December 31, 2005.

Available capacity reflects a reduction in availability under

December 31, 2005. Under PHH Corporations policy, all
of the outstanding unsecured commercial paper is supported by
available capacity under its unsecured credit facility. See

Subsequent Events for information regarding changes
in PHH Corporations capacity under committed unsecured
credit facilities after December 31, 2005. |
As of December 31, 2005, PHH Corporation also had
$874 million of availability for public debt issuances
under a shelf registration statement. On March 16, 2006,
access to PHH Corporations shelf registration statement
for public debt issuances was no longer available due to its
non-current status with the SEC.
Debt
Covenants
Certain of PHH Corporations debt arrangements require the
maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain restrictive
covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on
indebtedness of material subsidiaries, mergers, liens,
liquidations and sale and leaseback transactions. The Credit
Facility required that PHH Corporation maintain: (i) net
worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net income, if positive,
for each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2004 and
(ii) a ratio of debt to net worth no greater than 8:1. See
Note 3, Subsequent Events for information
regarding debt covenants in the Amended Credit Facility. The
indentures pursuant to which the publicly issued medium-term
notes have been issued require that PHH Corporation maintain a
debt to tangible equity ratio of not more than 10:1. These
indentures also restrict PHH Corporation from paying dividends
if, after giving effect to the dividend, the debt to equity
ratio exceeds 6.5:1. At December 31, 2005, PHH Corporation
was in compliance with all of its financial covenants related to
its debt arrangements. (See Note 3, Subsequent
Events for further information.)
|
|
2. |
Guarantees and Indemnifications |
PHH Corporation provides guarantees to third parties on behalf
of its consolidated subsidiaries. These include guarantees of
payments under derivative contracts that are used to manage
interest rate risk, rent payments to landlords under operating
lease agreements, payments of principal under certain borrowing
arrangements and guarantees of performance under certain service
arrangements.
On January 6, 2006, PHH Corporation entered into the
Amended Credit Facility, which increased the capacity of the
Credit Facility from $1.25 billion to $1.30 billion,
extended the termination date from June 28, 2007 to
January 6, 2011 and created a $50 million United
States dollar equivalent Canadian sub-facility, which is
available to the PHH Corporations Fleet Management
Services subsidiary in Canada. Pricing under the Amended Credit
Facility is based upon PHH Corporations senior unsecured
long-term debt ratings. If the ratings on PHH Corporations
senior unsecured long-term debt assigned by Moodys
Investors Service, Standard & Poors and Fitch
Ratings are not equivalent to each other, the second highest
credit rating assigned by them determines pricing under the
Amended Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Amended Credit
Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 38 bps.
The Amended Credit Facility also requires PHH Corporation to pay
a per annum facility fee of 12 bps and a per annum
utilization fee of 10 bps if its usage exceeds 50% of the
aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Facility. In the
event that PHH Corporations second highest credit rating
is downgraded, the margin over LIBOR would become 47.5 bps
for the first downgrade and 70 bps for subsequent
downgrades, the facility fee would become 15 bps for the
first downgrade and 17.5 bps for subsequent downgrades and
the utilization fee would become 12.5 bps for the first
downgrade and any subsequent downgrades. The Amended Credit
Facility requires that PHH Corporation maintain: (i) on the
last day of each fiscal quarter, net worth of $1.0 billion
plus 25% of net income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter
ended after December 31, 2004 and (ii) at any time, a
ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 10:1.

PHH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL DATA

REGISTRANT
PHH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On March 16, 2006, access to the PHH Corporations
shelf registration statement for public debt issuances was no
longer available due to its non-current status with the SEC.
On April 6, 2006, PHH Corporation entered into a
$500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the
$500 Million Agreement) with a group of lenders
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that
expires on April 5, 2007. Pricing, transaction terms and
financial covenants, including the net worth and ratio of
indebtedness to tangible net worth restrictions under the
$500 Million Agreement are substantially the same as those
under the Amended Credit Facility with the addition of a
facility fee of 10 bps against the outstanding commitments
under the facility as of October 6, 2006.
On July 21, 2006, PHH Corporation entered into a
$750 million unsecured credit agreement (the Tender
Support Facility) with a group of lenders and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that expires on
April 5, 2007. The Tender Support Facility provides
$750 million of capacity solely for the repayment of the
MTNs, and was put in place in conjunction with PHH
Corporations tender and consent offer discussed below.
Pricing under the Tender Support Facility is based upon PHH
Corporations senior unsecured long-term debt ratings
assigned by Moodys Investors Service and
Standard & Poors. If those ratings are not
equivalent to each other, the higher credit rating assigned by
them determines pricing under this agreement, unless there is
more than one rating level difference between the two ratings,
in which case the rating one level below the higher rating is
applied. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at LIBOR
plus a margin of 60 bps on or before December 14, 2006
and 75 bps after December 14, 2006. In the event that
PHH Corporations higher credit rating is downgraded on or
before December 14, 2006, the margin over LIBOR would
become 87.5 bps for the first downgrade and 125 bps
for subsequent downgrades. After December 14, 2006, the
margin over LIBOR would become 100 bps for the first
downgrade and 150 bps for subsequent downgrades. The Tender
Support Facility also requires PHH Corporation to pay an initial
fee of 10 bps of the commitment and a per annum facility
fee of 12 bps. In the event that the Companys higher
credit rating is downgraded on or before December 14, 2006,
the per annum facility fee would become 15 bps for the
first downgrade and 20 bps for subsequent downgrades. After
December 14, 2006, the per annum facility fee would become
17.5 bps for the first downgrade and 22.5 bps for
subsequent downgrades. In addition, PHH Corporation is subject
to up to an additional 15 bps in fees against drawn amounts
under the Tender Support Facility. The net worth and net ratio
of indebtedness to tangible net worth restrictions under the
Tender Support Facility are generally consistent with those
under the Amended Credit Facility.
On September 14, 2006, PHH Corporation concluded a tender
offer and consent solicitation (the Offer) for MTNs
issued under the Indenture. PHH Corporation received consents on
behalf of $585 million and tenders on behalf of
$416 million of the aggregate notional principal amount of
the $1.081 billion of the MTNs. Borrowings of
$415 million were drawn under PHH Corporations
$750 million Tender Support Facility to fund the bulk of
the tendered bonds. Upon receipt of the required consents
related to the Offer, PHH Corporation entered into Supplemental
Indenture No. 4 to the Indenture governing the MTNs
(Supplemental Indenture No. 4) with the trustee
on August 31, 2006, pursuant to which the deadline for the
delivery of PHH Corporations financial statements to the
trustee was extended to December 31, 2006, if necessary. In
addition, Supplemental Indenture No. 4 provided for the
waiver of all defaults that have occurred prior to
August 31, 2006 relating to PHH Corporations
financial statements and other delivery requirements.
On September 29, 2006, PHH Corporation received an
extension to file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 from the New York Stock
Exchange. This extension allows for the continued listing of its
Common stock through January 2, 2007, subject to review by
the New York Stock Exchange on an ongoing basis.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Under many of PHH Corporations financing, servicing,
hedging and related agreements and instruments, it is required
to provide consolidated and/or subsidiary-level audited annual
financial statements, unaudited quarterly financial statements
and other documents. The delay in completing the 2005 audited
financial statements, as well as the restatement of prior period
financial results created the potential for breaches under these
agreements for failure to deliver the financial statements
and/or documents by specified deadlines, as well as potential
breaches of other covenants. PHH Corporation obtained waivers to
extend financial statement delivery and other document deadlines
(the Deadlines) as well as waive certain other
potential breaches under its Amended Credit Agreement, the
$500 Million Agreement and other financing agreements.
Initial waivers were obtained to extend the Deadlines to
June 15, 2006, and subsequent waivers were obtained to
extend the Deadlines to September 30, 2006. PHH Corporation
has obtained waivers under these facilities, the Tender Support
Facility and other agreements which waive certain potential
breaches of covenants under those instruments and extend the
Deadlines (the Extended Deadlines) for the delivery
of its financial statements and other documents to the various
lenders under those instruments. With respect to the PHH
Corporations Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006, the Extended Deadline is
December 29, 2006.

Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, 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, as amended (the Exchange
Act). 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
Commissions 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 the
evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in
internal control over financial reporting described below, as
well as our inability to file this Annual Report on
Form 10-K within
the statutory time period, management concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the
quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005,
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005, and
management further expects that our disclosure controls and
procedures will not be effective for the year ending
December 31, 2006.
Because of the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation
of internal control over financial reporting, we performed
additional procedures, where necessary, so that our consolidated
financial statements for all accounting periods beginning with
the year ended December 31, 2001 and through the year ended
December 31, 2005, including quarterly periods, and the
Selected Financial Data for all accounting periods, are
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). These
procedures included, among other things, evaluating the
accounting treatment relating to our spin-off from Cendant
Corporation (the Spin-Off) and certain other
matters; validating data to independent source documentation and
reassessing original judgments we made about various accounting
treatments; reviewing our existing contracts to determine proper
financial reporting; performing additional closing procedures,
including detailed reviews of journal entries, re-performance of
account reconciliations and analyses of balance sheet accounts;
and performing additional procedures in other areas requiring
restatement adjustments.
Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) of the
Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The effectiveness
of any system of internal control over financial reporting is
subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of
judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating
the controls and procedures. Because of these inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot
provide absolute assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
in accordance with GAAP and may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor
and upgrade our internal controls as necessary and appropriate
for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements
will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control
over financial reporting.
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005 as required under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Managements
assessment of internal control over financial reporting was
conducted using the criteria in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Management utilized
181
substantial internal resources and engaged outside consultants
to assist in various aspects of its assessment and compliance
efforts. Based on the material weaknesses identified below,
management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2005. A
material weakness is defined as a significant
deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected. A significant
deficiency is defined as a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects a
companys ability to initiate, authorize, record, process,
or report external financial data reliably in accordance with
GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a
misstatement of a companys annual or interim financial
statements that is more than inconsequential will not be
prevented or detected.
In conducting its assessment, management was unable to complete
its review and testing of certain controls for information
technology systems operated by a third party and provided in
support of our financial reporting, general ledger, accounts
payable, accounts receivable, customer billing, and human
resource and payroll system processes (the Outsourced IT
Services). Pursuant to our transition services agreement,
dated January 31, 2005 with Cendant Corporation (now known
as Avis Budget Group, Inc., but referred to herein as
Cendant), Cendant provided certain information
technology services to us following the Spin-Off, including
maintaining the software, databases and servers for the
Outsourced IT Services. See also Item 1.
Business Arrangements with Cendant
Transition Services Agreement for additional information.
The servers were housed in a data center operated by a third
party with whom we did not have a separate contractual
arrangement. In addition, we did not complete all necessary
testing of our internal controls over the human resource and
payroll processes (the HR Processes) in 2005 prior
to a material change in our control environment resulting from
the transition of the HR Processes from Cendant to a third-party
payroll processing provider, effective January 1, 2006, and
were unable to recreate this control environment following the
transition. Because we were unable to complete our review and
testing of all the internal controls surrounding the Outsourced
IT Services and HR Processes, there can be no assurance that
there were not additional material weaknesses relating to the
Outsourced IT Services and HR Processes.
In connection with managements assessment of our internal
control over financial reporting, we identified five material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2005:
I. We did not have adequate controls in place to establish
and maintain an effective control environment. Specifically, we
identified the following deficiencies that in the aggregate
constituted a material weakness:
|
|
|
|
|
Our senior management did not establish and maintain a proper
tone as to internal control over financial reporting.
Specifically, senior management did not emphasize, through
consistent communication, the importance of internal control
over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with
the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in
the application of GAAP and in internal control over financial
reporting commensurate with our financial reporting obligations. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain sufficient, formalized and consistent
finance and accounting policies nor did we maintain adequate
controls with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring
of our accounting operations. |
|
|
|
We did not establish and maintain adequate segregation of
duties, assignments and delegation of authority with clear lines
of communication to provide reasonable assurance that we were in
compliance with existing policies and procedures. |
|
|
|
We did not establish and maintain a sufficient internal audit
function and did not complete an adequate fraud risk assessment
to determine the appropriate internal audit scope. |
The material weakness in our control environment increases the
likelihood of material misstatements of our annual or interim
consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected and contributed to the existence of the material
weaknesses discussed in the items below.
182
II. We did not maintain effective controls, including
monitoring, to provide reasonable assurance that our financial
closing and reporting process was timely and accurate.
Specifically, we identified the following deficiencies that in
the aggregate constituted a material weakness:
|
|
|
|
|
We did not maintain sufficient, formalized written policies and
procedures governing the financial closing and reporting process. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain effective controls to provide reasonable
assurance that management oversight and review procedures were
properly performed over the accounts and disclosures in our
consolidated financial statements. In addition, we did not
maintain effective controls over the reporting of information to
management to provide reasonable assurance that the preparation
of our consolidated financial statements and disclosures were
complete and accurate. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain effective controls over the recording of
journal entries. Specifically, effective controls were not
designed and in place to provide reasonable assurance that
journal entries were prepared with sufficient supporting
documentation and reviewed and approved to provide reasonable
assurance of the completeness and accuracy of the entries
recorded. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain effective controls to provide reasonable
assurance that accounts were complete and accurate and agreed to
detailed supporting documentation and that reconciliations of
accounts were properly performed, reviewed and approved. |
III. We did not maintain effective controls, including
policies and procedures, over accounting for certain derivative
financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 133). Specifically, we
identified the following deficiencies in the process of
accounting for derivative instruments that in the aggregate
constituted a material weakness:
|
|
|
|
|
In our transition to an independent, publicly traded company, we
did not implement effective policies and procedures to
transition the responsibilities related to ongoing monitoring of
debt-related derivative transactions and the application of
appropriate accounting for debt-related derivative transactions
to our corporate treasury and accounting functions. |
|
|
|
We did not establish and maintain sufficient policies and
procedures relating to the application of the proper accounting
treatment for derivative financial instruments and we did not
maintain sufficient documentation to meet the criteria for hedge
accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133. |
|
|
|
We did not monitor and maintain adequate documentation relating
to compliance with existing policies and procedures to provide
reasonable assurance of the proper accounting treatment for
derivatives. |
IV. We did not maintain effective controls, including
policies and procedures, over accounting for contracts.
Specifically, we did not have sufficient policies and procedures
to provide reasonable assurance that contracts were reviewed by
the accounting department to evaluate and document the
appropriate application of GAAP which resulted in a material
weakness related to contract administration.
V. We did not design and maintain effective controls over
accounting for income taxes. Specifically, we identified the
following deficiencies in the process of accounting for income
taxes that in the aggregate constituted a material weakness:
|
|
|
|
|
We did not maintain effective policies and procedures to provide
reasonable assurance that management oversight and review
procedures were adequately performed for the proper reporting of
income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
|
We did not maintain effective controls over the calculation,
recording and reconciliation of federal and state income taxes
to provide reasonable assurance of the appropriate accounting
treatment in our consolidated financial statements. |
Because of the five material weaknesses described above,
management has concluded that we did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on the Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
The material weaknesses identified above contributed to the
occurrence of certain errors identified in our consolidated
financial statements for prior periods. As a result, we are
restating our consolidated financial
183
statements and related disclosures for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003. Certain restatement adjustments
affecting our audited annual financial statements for periods
prior to December 31, 2003 have also been reflected in the
Selected Financial Data in this
Form 10-K. Certain
restatement adjustments also affected our unaudited quarterly
financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2004,
June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, March 31,
2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 previously
filed on
Form 10-Q. See
Note 2, Prior Period Adjustments to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 10-K for
additional information regarding the restatement of our
consolidated financial statements. These material weaknesses
could result in additional material misstatements of our annual
or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be
prevented or detected.
As a result of managements incomplete assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2005, Deloitte & Touche LLP,
our independent registered public accounting firm, was unable to
perform auditing procedures necessary to form an opinion on
managements assessment and did not express an opinion on
managements assessment and expressed an adverse opinion on
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an attestation report
which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data in this
Form 10-K.
changes in internal
control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2005 that have materially affected or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Remediation of Material
Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
We have engaged in, and continue to engage in, substantial
efforts to address the material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures. It is managements goal
to remediate as many material weaknesses as feasible in 2006,
but we expect that we will need to continue our remediation
efforts into 2007. The following paragraphs describe the ongoing
changes to our internal control over financial reporting
subsequent to December 31, 2005 that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting:
|
|
|
|
|
We significantly strengthened our executive management ranks
during 2006, including the appointment of a new Chief Financial
Officer. During 2006, we also committed substantial resources to
enhance our finance, accounting and tax departments. We have
engaged outside consultants and hired additional professionals
in our finance and accounting staff in order to address the
delay in the preparation of our financial statements. We
continue to seek experienced personnel to augment our finance,
accounting and tax departments. In addition, we will implement
training programs for our finance and accounting staff during
the remainder of 2006 and in 2007. |
|
|
|
During 2006, management formed a SOX steering committee to
oversee the remainder of our 2005 SOX assessment and implement
and oversee our 2006 SOX assessment process. The committee meets
regularly to review significant findings and resolve issues and
has retained one big four accounting firm to serve as our
internal audit co-source provider for 2006 and another to serve
as our SOX advisor. Our SOX steering committee reports its
progress and summary results to the Audit Committee on a
periodic basis. In the third quarter of 2006, we initiated
periodic communications from senior management regarding the
importance of adherence to internal controls and company
policies and will be implementing internal control training
programs for employees. |
|
|
|
We recently began to revise our existing policies and procedures
and implement additional policies and procedures as necessary.
This process will continue through the remainder of 2006 and
into 2007. Management has also begun designing controls to
provide reasonable assurance that we comply with these enhanced
policies and procedures in key areas, including accounting for
income taxes, contracts and derivatives. |
184
|
|
|
|
|
During the third quarter of 2006, we expanded our Disclosure
Committee and introduced a management confirmation process
requiring individual control owners to verify the results of
managements SOX assessment on a quarterly basis, in
support of our management representation process. |
|
|
|
As it relates to the HR processes, during the first quarter of
2006 we changed our third-party payroll processing provider and
continue to enhance the implementation of monitoring controls
over the functions performed by this third-party provider. |
|
|
|
As it relates to the Outsourced IT Services, we migrated our
consolidation and reporting application to an in-house server in
the first quarter of 2006. For those critical applications that
remain under the management of the Outsourced IT Services
provider, we expect to obtain access to enable us to adequately
review and test the controls surrounding the Outsourced IT
Services in 2006. |
Our continuing remediation efforts noted above are subject to
our internal control assessment, testing and evaluation
processes. While these efforts continue, we will rely on
additional substantive procedures and other measures as needed
to assist us with meeting the objectives otherwise fulfilled by
an effective control environment. We expect that our internal
control over financial reporting will not be effective as of
March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006
or December 31, 2006.

Independence of the
Board of Directors
Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), our Board of Directors is required to
affirmatively determine which Directors are independent and to
disclose such determination in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K
(Form 10-K)
and in the proxy statement for each annual meeting of
stockholders going forward. On March 9, 2006 and
October 23, 2006, our Board of Directors reviewed each
Directors relationships with us in conjunction with our
previously adopted Independence Standards for Directors (the
Independence Standards) and Section 303A of the
NYSEs Listed Company Manual (NYSE Listing
Standards). A copy of our Independence Standards is
attached to this
Form 10-K as
Exhibit 99.1 and is available on our corporate website at
www.phh.com under the heading Investor
Relations Corporate Governance. A copy of our
Independence Standards is also available to stockholders upon
request, addressed to the Corporate Secretary at 3000 Leadenhall
Road, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 (telephone number:
1-866-PHH-INFO or 1-856-917-1PHH). At those meetings, the Board
affirmatively determined that all non-employee Directors,
Messrs. Brinkley, Krongard, Mariner and Van Kirk and
Ms. Logan, meet the categorical standards under the
Independence Standards and are independent directors under the
NYSE Listing Standards. In March 2005, Mr. Krongard, our
Non-Executive Chairman, became a member of the global Board of
DLA Piper, our principal outside law firm. Based on the nature
of this position, our Board specifically considered
Mr. Krongards relationship with DLA Piper and
determined that it was not a material relationship for the
purposes of determining his independence. In addition,
Mr. Brinkley, one of our Directors, serves as Vice Chairman
of Smith Barney, which was acquired by the Global Wealth
Management segment of Citigroup Inc. in November 2005. We have
certain relationships with the Corporate and Investment Banking
segment of Citigroup, including financial services, commercial
banking and other transactions. Based on the nature of his
position, our Board specifically considered
Mr. Brinkleys relationship with Citigroup and
determined that it was not a material relationship for the
purposes of determining his independence. Our Board also
determined that Messrs. Edwards and Kilroy, who serve as
executive officers, are not independent directors. Accordingly,
more than two-thirds of the members of our Board of Directors
are independent as required by our Corporate Governance
Guidelines.
Non-Executive
Chairman
Mr. Krongard serves as our Non-Executive Chairman. The
Non-Executive Chairman is not an officer of PHH and leads all
meetings of our Board of Directors at which he is present. The
Non-Executive Chairman serves on appropriate committees as
requested by the Board of Directors, sets meeting schedules and
agendas and manages information flow to the Board of Directors
to assure appropriate understanding of, and discussion regarding
matters of interest or concern to the Board of Directors. The
Non-Executive Chairman also has such additional powers and
performs such additional duties consistent with organizing and
leading the actions of the Board of Directors as the Board of
Directors may from time to time prescribe.
188
Committees of the
Board
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee
consisting of Directors who have been affirmatively determined
to be independent as defined in the NYSE Listing
Standards. Each of these Committees operates pursuant to a
written charter approved by the Board of Directors and available
on our corporate website at www.phh.com under the heading
Investor Relations Corporate Governance.
A copy of each Committee charter is also available to
stockholders upon request, addressed to the Corporate Secretary
at 3000 Leadenhall Road, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054
(telephone number: 1-866-PHH-INFO or 1-856-917-1PHH). In
addition, the Board of Directors has a standing Executive
Committee which may take certain actions on behalf of the Board
of Directors when the Board is not in session.
The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in the
oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, our
independent registered public accountants qualifications
and independence, the performance of our independent registered
public accountants and our internal audit function and our
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Committee
also oversees our corporate accounting and reporting practices
by meeting with our financial management and independent
registered public accountants to review our financial
statements, quarterly earnings releases and financial data;
appointing and pre-approving all services provided by the
independent registered public accountants that will audit our
financial statements; reviewing the selection of the internal
auditors that provide internal audit services; reviewing the
scope, procedures and results of our audits; and evaluating our
key financial and accounting personnel. The Audit Committee is
comprised of Messrs. Van Kirk (Chairman) and Mariner and
Ms. Logan. Mr. Krongard served as Chairman of the
Committee from the Spin-Off until June 30, 2005 prior to
Mr. Van Kirks election to the Board of Directors and
to the Audit Committee, which was effective July 1, 2005.
Each member of the Audit Committee is required to have the
ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements.
The Audit Committee is also required to have at least one member
that qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert as defined by the rules of the SEC. Our Board of
Directors has determined that Messrs. Mariner and Van Kirk
qualify as audit committee financial experts and are
non-employee, independent directors. During 2005, the Audit
Committee met twelve times. During 2006, the Audit Committee met
twenty-four times through November 17, 2006.
The Compensation Committee determines, approves and reports to
our Board of Directors on all elements of compensation for our
Chief Executive Officer and senior management; reviews and
approves our compensation strategy, including the elements of
total compensation for senior management; reviews and approves
the annual bonus and long-term bonus incentive plans; and
reviews and recommends equity awards for our employees. The
Compensation Committee also assists us in developing
compensation and benefit strategies to attract, develop and
retain qualified employees. The Compensation Committee is
comprised of Messrs. Brinkley (Chairman) and Krongard and
Ms. Logan. During 2005, the Compensation Committee met six
times and acted by unanimous written consent on three occasions.

|
|
Corporate Governance Committee |
The Corporate Governance Committees responsibilities with
respect to its governance function include considering matters
of corporate governance and reviewing and revising our Board of
Directors Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and our Code of
Conduct for Employees and Officers. The Corporate Governance
Committee identifies, evaluates and recommends nominees for our
Board of Directors for each annual meeting (see Nomination
Process and Qualifications for Director Nominees below);
evaluates the composition, organization and governance of our
Board of Directors and its committees; and develops and
recommends corporate governance principles and policies
applicable to us. The Committee is comprised of
Messrs. Krongard (Chairman), Brinkley and Mariner. During
2005, the Corporate Governance Committee met one time.
189
The Executive Committee may exercise all of the powers of our
Board of Directors when the Board is not in session, including
the power to authorize the issuance of stock, except that the
Executive Committee has no power to alter, amend or repeal our
by-laws or any resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors, declare any dividend or make any other distribution
to our stockholders, appoint any member of the Executive
Committee or take any other action which legally may be taken
only by the full Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is
comprised of Messrs. Krongard (Chairman), Edwards and
Kilroy. During 2005, the Executive Committee did not meet.
Board
Meetings
During 2005, our Board of Directors held five meetings and acted
by unanimous written consent on three occasions. In addition,
the Committees of the Board of Directors held an aggregate of
nineteen meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on
three occasions in that period. In 2005, all incumbent Directors
attended at least 89% of the aggregate number of meetings of the
Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors on
which they served. All Directors are required to attend each
regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting as well as each
annual meeting of our stockholders (subject to certain limited
exceptions).

Members of our Board of Directors who are also our officers or
employees do not receive compensation for serving as a Director
(other than travel-related expenses for meetings held outside of
our headquarters). The non-employee Director retainers and
stipends described above are paid in arrears on a quarterly
basis, half in cash and half in shares of PHH common stock
(Common Stock), which are restricted stock units
required to be deferred under our Non-Employee Directors
Deferred Compensation Plan (such deferred Common Stock is
referred to as Director RSUs). These Director RSUs
are immediately vested and are paid in shares of our Common
Stock one year after the Director is no longer a member of the
Board of Directors. A non-employee Director may also elect to
receive all or a portion of the cash retainer, stipends or any
other compensation for service as a non-employee Director in the
form of additional Director RSUs. These Director RSUs are also
immediately vested and are paid in shares of our Common Stock
200 days after the Director is no longer a member of the
Board of Directors. The number of shares of Common Stock to be
received pursuant to the Director RSU portion of the retainer or
any other compensation the non-employee Director elects to
receive in the form of Director RSUs equals the value of the
compensation being paid in the form of restricted stock units,
divided by the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date
on which the compensation would otherwise have been paid. The
Director RSUs and the shares of Common Stock to be received
pursuant to those Director RSUs are issued under our 2005 Equity
and Incentive Plan. Non-employee Directors may not sell or
receive value from any Director RSU prior to the receipt of the
Common Stock following termination of service. Following the
announcement in the delay in the filing of our
Form 10-K, the
Board of Directors determined that the award of Director RSUs to
be granted to Directors be postponed until we are a current
filer with the SEC. |

Corporate
Governance

|
|
Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors |
Executive sessions of non-management Directors without
management present are held regularly by the Board of Directors
and its Committees to discuss the criteria upon which the
performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior
executives is based, the performance of the Chief Executive
Officer against such criteria, the compensation of the Chief
Executive Officer and other senior executives and any other
relevant matters. In 2005, the non-management Directors met in
executive session without management two times.
|
|
|
Presiding Director of Executive Sessions |
Our Board of Directors has also designated Mr. Krongard,
our Non-Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Corporate
Governance Committee, as the presiding Director of executive
sessions of the non-management Directors of the Board of
Directors.
|
|
|
Corporate Governance Guidelines |
The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance
Guidelines to assist the Board of Directors in monitoring the
effectiveness of decision-making, both at the Board of Directors
and management levels, to enhance long-term stockholder value.
The Corporate Governance Guidelines outline the responsibilities
of the Board of Directors; composition of the Board of
Directors, including the requirement that two-thirds of the
Directors are independent as defined by the NYSE Listing
Standards; Director duties, tenure, retirement and succession;
conduct of Board of Directors and Committee meetings; and the
selection and evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer. Our
Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our corporate
website at www.phh.com under the heading Investor
Relations Corporate Governance. A copy of our
Corporate Governance Guidelines is available to stockholders
upon request, addressed to the Corporate Secretary at 3000
Leadenhall Road, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 (telephone

|
|
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors |
We are committed to conducting business in accordance with the
highest standards of business ethics and complying with
applicable laws, rules and regulations. In furtherance of this
commitment, our Board of Directors promotes ethical behavior and
has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors
(the Directors Code) that is applicable to all of
our Directors. The Directors Code provides, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
guidelines for Directors with respect to what constitutes a
conflict of interest between a Directors private interests
and interests of PHH; |
|
|
|
a set of standards that must be followed whenever we contemplate
a business relationship between us and a Director; |
|
|
|
restrictions on competition between our Directors and PHH and
the use of our confidential information by Directors for their
personal benefit; and |
|
|
|
disciplinary measures for violations of the Directors Code and
any other applicable rules and regulations. |
The Directors Code is available on our corporate website at
www.phh.com under the heading Investor
Relations Corporate Governance. We will post
any amendments to the Directors Code, or waivers of the
provisions thereof, to our website under the heading
Investor Relations Corporate Governance.
A copy of the Directors Code is also available to stockholders
upon request, addressed to the Corporate Secretary at 3000
Leadenhall Road, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 (telephone
number: 1-866-PHH-INFO or 1-856-917-1PHH).
|
|
|
Code of Conduct for Employees and Officers |
Our Board of Directors has also adopted a Code of Conduct for
Employees and Officers (the Employees and Officers
Code) that is applicable to all of our officers and
employees, including our chief executive officer,
191
chief financial officer and chief accounting officer. The
Employees and Officers Code provides, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
guidelines for our officers and employees with respect to
ethical handling of conflicts of interest, including examples of
the most common types of conflicts of interest that should be
avoided (e.g., receipt of improper personal benefits from us,
having an ownership interest in other businesses that may
compromise an officers loyalty to us, obtaining outside
employment with a competitor of ours, etc.); |
|
|
|
a set of standards to promote full, fair, accurate, timely and
understandable disclosure in periodic reports required to be
filed by us, including, for example, a specific requirement that
all accounting records must be duly preserved and must
accurately reflect our assets and liabilities; |
|
|
|
a requirement to comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations; |
|
|
|
guidance promoting prompt internal communication of any
suspected violations of the Employees and Officers Code to the
appropriate person or persons identified in the Employees and
Officers Code; and |
|
|
|
disciplinary measures for violations of the Employees and
Officers Code and any other applicable rules and regulations. |
The Employees and Officers Code is available on our corporate
website at www.phh.com under the heading Investor
Relations Corporate Governance. We will post
any amendments to the Employees and Officers Code, or waivers of
the provisions thereof for any of our executive officers, to our
website under the heading Investor Relations
Corporate Governance. A copy of the Employees and Officers
Code is also available to stockholders upon request, addressed
to the Corporate Secretary at 3000 Leadenhall Road, Mt. Laurel,

Nomination Process and Qualifications for Director
Nominees |
The Board of Directors has established certain procedures and
criteria for the selection of nominees for election to our Board
of Directors. Pursuant to its charter, the Corporate Governance
Committee is required to identify individuals qualified to
become members of the Board, which shall be consistent with the
Boards criteria for selecting new Directors. The Committee
considers criteria such as diversity, age, skills and experience
so as to enhance the Board of Directors ability to manage
and direct our affairs and business, including, when applicable,
to enhance the ability of Committees of the Board to fulfill
their duties and/or to satisfy any independence requirements
imposed by law, regulation or NYSE requirement. The Committee is
also responsible for conducting a review of the credentials of
individuals it wishes to recommend to the Board of Directors as
a Director nominee, recommending Director nominees to the Board
of Directors for submission for a shareholder vote at either an
annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting of
stockholders called for the purpose of electing Directors,
reviewing the suitability for continued service as a Director of
each Board member when his or her term expires and when he or
she has a significant change in status, including but not
limited to an employment change, and recommending whether such a
Director should be re-nominated to the Board or continue as a
Director.
Our bylaws provide the procedure for stockholders to make
Director nominations either at any annual meeting of
stockholders or at any special meeting of stockholders called
for the purpose of electing Directors. A stockholder who is a
stockholder of record on the date of notice as provided for in
our by-laws and on the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting who gives timely
notice can nominate persons for election to our Board of
Directors either for an annual meeting of stockholders or at any
special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of
electing Directors. The notice must be delivered to or mailed
and received by the Corporate Secretary at 3000 Leadenhall Road,
Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 (telephone number:
1-866-PHH-INFO or
1-856-917-1PHH):
|
|
|
|
|
in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days nor
more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding years annual meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by
more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from
the anniversary date of the preceding years annual
meeting, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered |
192
|
|
|
|
|
not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting
and not later than the close of business on the later of the
60th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of
such annual meeting is first made; and |
|
|
|
in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the
purpose of electing Directors, not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of
the date of the special meeting was mailed or public
announcement of the date of the special meeting was made,
whichever first occurs. |
The stockholders notice to our Corporate Secretary must be
in writing and set forth (i) as to each person whom the
stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, all
information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in connection with solicitations of proxies for
election of Directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) as to the
stockholder giving the notice:
|
|
|

In addition, the notice must be accompanied by a written consent
of each proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve
as a Director if elected.
|
|
|
Communication with Non-Management Directors |
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, all
stockholder and interested party communications to any Director,
the non-management Directors as a group or the Board of
Directors shall be forwarded to the attention of the Chairman of
the Corporate Governance Committee, c/o the Corporate
Secretary, 3000 Leadenhall Road, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey,
08054. The Corporate Secretary shall review all such stockholder
and interested party communications and discard those which
(i) are not related to our business or governance of our
company, (ii) are commercial solicitations which are not
relevant to the Boards responsibilities and duties,
(iii) pose a threat to health or safety or (iv) the
Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee has otherwise
instructed the Corporate Secretary not to forward. The Corporate
Secretary will then forward all relevant stockholder and
interested party communications to the Chairman of the Corporate
Governance Committee for review and dissemination.
Section 16(a)
Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and
directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with
the SEC and the NYSE. Officers, directors and greater than ten
percent beneficial owners are required to furnish us with copies
of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. Based solely on our
review of the copies of such forms we have received, we believe
that all of our officers, directors and greater than ten percent
beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements
applicable to them with respect to transactions during 2005.

Legal
Proceedings
In March and April 2006, several class actions were filed
against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief
Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs purport to represent a
class consisting of all persons (other than our officers and
directors and their affiliates) who purchased our Common Stock
between May 12, 2005 and March 1, 2006 (the
Class Period). The plaintiffs allege among
other things, that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of
the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5
thereunder. In addition, two derivative actions were filed in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
against us, our former Chief Financial Officer and each member
of our Board of Directors. One of these derivative actions has
since been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. The
remaining derivative action alleges breaches of fiduciary duty
and related claims based on substantially the same factual
allegations as in the class action suits. See Item 3.
Legal Proceedings of this
Form 10-K for
additional information regarding these matters.

For 2006, on February 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee
determined that the annual salary for Messrs. Kilroy,
Danahy and Brown be increased to $450,000, $325,000 and
$300,000, respectively, effective |
194
|
|
|
on February 25, 2006. Mr. Edwards base salary
for 2005 and 2004 was $564,635; however, as a result of how our
pay periods fell within the calendar year in 2004, there was an
additional pay period for all employees, which resulted in
actual base salary payments to Mr. Edwards of $583,704 in
2004. For 2005, the annual salaries for Messrs. Kilroy,
Danahy and Brown were increased to $375,000, $292,130 and
$260,000, respectively, effective as of the Spin-Off for
Messrs. Kilroy and Brown and as of April 19, 2005 for
Mr. Danahy. |
|
(2) |
For 2005, bonus amounts reflect the fact that our performance
exceeded the targets established under the 2005 Management
Incentive Plans. These bonuses will be paid in the fourth
quarter of 2006 as a result of the delay in completing the 2005
financial statements. For 2004, (i) bonus amounts for
Messrs. Kilroy and Cashen represent profit-sharing
performance-based bonuses under the Fleet Management Services
segments bonus program and (ii) no profit-sharing
performance-based bonuses were paid to Messrs. Edwards,
Danahy, Brown or Suter under the former Mortgage Services
segments bonus program. For 2003, the amounts shown
reflect all bonuses paid for such year, including
performance-based profit-sharing bonuses paid in the first
quarter of the year following the end of the performance year. |
|
(3) |
These amounts include the value of perquisites including a
company car, gasoline and financial planning which do not exceed
$50,000 or 10% of the annual salary and bonus for any Named
Executive Officer. These other annual compensation amounts also
include amounts reimbursed during 2005 for the payment of taxes
on the value of the perquisites by each of Messrs. Edwards,
Kilroy, Danahy, Brown, Cashen and Suter of $3,944, $1,257,
$4,296, $4,228, $1,761 and $4,232, respectively. |
|
(4) |
During 2005, Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Danahy, Brown, Cashen
and Suter were granted restricted stock units payable in shares
of our Common Stock (PHH RSUs) (i) to convert
certain existing restricted stock units in Cendant common stock
granted in 2003 (2003 Cendant RSUs) and 2004
(2004 Cendant RSUs) to PHH RSUs at the time of the
Spin-Off and (ii) as part of our 2005 annual long-term
incentive grant of PHH RSUs to certain management employees (the
2005 Annual Award). Upon vesting of a PHH RSU, the
Named Executive Officer becomes entitled to receive one share of
our Common Stock. |
|
|
|
|
|
On June 28, 2005, Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Danahy,
Brown, Cashen and Suter were granted 11,505, 6,378, 9,604,
9,004, 6,378 and 6,378 PHH RSUs, respectively, as part of our
2005 Annual Award. The value of the shares underlying the 2005
Annual Award as of the date of grant is shown in the table above
based upon the closing price of $25.57 for our Common Stock on
June 28, 2005. The PHH RSUs granted under the 2005 Annual
Award vest equally in three annual installments beginning on
June 28, 2009, subject to potential acceleration of vesting
of the total award in 25% increments upon the achievement of
financial performance targets based on our pre-tax income after
minority interest, excluding certain Spin-Off related expenses,
for each of the first four fiscal years ending prior to
June 28, 2009. |
|
|
|
The 2003 Cendant RSUs and the 2004 Cendant RSUs granted to the
Named Executive Officers were converted to PHH RSUs in
connection with the Spin-Off (the 2003 Converted
RSUs and 2004 Converted RSUs, respectively) in
accordance with conversion procedures discussed in
Conversion of Cendant Stock Options and
Restricted Stock Units into PHH Stock Options and Restricted
Stock Units set forth below. The value of the shares
underlying the 2003 Converted RSUs and 2004 Converted RSUs as of
the date of grant is shown in the table above based upon the
closing price of $21.90 for our Common Stock on February 1,
2005. The 2003 Converted RSUs vest in three equal installments
on April 22, 2005, 2006 and 2007, subject only to continued
employment. One-eighth of the 2004 Converted RSUs vested on
April 27, 2005, and either one-eighth or three-sixteenths
of the 2004 Converted RSUs will vest with respect to each of the
first three fiscal years ending after the Spin-Off to the extent
we achieve certain performance goals based on our pre-tax income
after minority interest, excluding certain Spin-Off related
expenses. The remainder of the 2004 Converted RSUs vest only in
the event of a change in control transaction involving our
company. As of the date of the Spin-Off, Mr. Edwards was
awarded 27,038 2003 Converted RSUs and 47,264 2004 Converted
RSUs; Mr. Kilroy was awarded 24,034 2003 Converted RSUs and
47,264 2004 Converted RSUs; Mr. Danahy was awarded 13,518
2003 Converted RSUs and 25,995 2004 Converted RSUs;
Mr. Brown was awarded 10,815 2003 Converted RSUs and 16,541
2004 Converted RSUs; Mr. Cashen was awarded 12,974 2003
Converted RSUs and 24,575 2004 Converted RSUs; and
Mr. Suter was awarded 15,021 2003 Converted RSUs and 23,630
2004 Converted RSUs. |

|
|
|
The value of the shares underlying the 2005 Annual Award, the
2004 Converted RSUs and the 2003 Converted RSUs as of
December 31, 2005, held by each of the following Named
Executive Officers, reflecting a value of $28.02 per share
of our Common Stock, equaled as follows: Mr. Edwards,
$2,404,312; Mr. Kilroy, $2,176,482; Mr. Danahy,
$1,376,258; Mr. Brown, $1,018,807; Mr. Cashen,
$1,230,835; and Mr. Suter, $1,261,713. |
|
|
|
The 2004 Cendant RSUs were granted on June 3, 2004.
Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Danahy, Brown, Cashen and Suter
were granted 43,253, 43,253, 23,789, 15,138, 22,491 and 21,626
2004 Cendant RSUs, respectively. The value of the shares
underlying the 2004 Cendant RSUs as of the date of grant is
shown in the table based upon the closing price of $23.12 for
Cendant common stock on June 3, 2004. Up to one-eighth of
the 2004 Cendant RSUs were scheduled to vest over four years
based on annual and cumulative performance goals based upon the
total growth of Cendant common stock in relation to the average
historic total stockholder return of the Standard &
Poors 500. |
|
|
|
The 2003 Cendant RSUs were granted on April 22, 2003.
Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Danahy, Brown, Cashen and Suter
were granted 32,991, 29,326, 16,496, 13,196, 15,831 and 18,328
2003 Cendant RSUs, respectively. The value of the shares
underlying the 2003 Cendant RSUs as of the date of grant is
shown in the table above based upon the closing price of $13.64
for Cendant common stock on April 22, 2003. One-fourth of
the 2003 Cendant RSUs were scheduled to vest each year
commencing on April 22, 2004. |
|
|
(5) |
The stock options reported in this column reflect options to
purchase our Common Stock, except the 2003 stock option award to
Mr. Edwards which was an option to purchase Cendant stock,
the unvested portion of which was converted to options to
purchase our Common Stock at the time of the Spin-Off. See
Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year for
information regarding stock option awards in 2005. |
|
(6) |
Payments included in these amounts for 2005 consist of matching
contributions to a 401(k) plan maintained by PHH (the
Defined Contribution Match) and life and long-term
disability insurance coverage. These amounts do not include
payments to Messrs. Edwards and Kilroy from a non-qualified
deferred compensation plan maintained by Cendant (the
Cendant Plan), which were triggered when they ceased
to be participants in the Cendant Plan as a result of the
Spin-Off. Messrs. Edwards and Kilroy each received payment
of previously reported deferred salary and/or bonus which were
contributed to the Cendant Plan, Cendant matching funds and any
earnings thereon in the sum of $1,123,366 and $369,711,
respectively. For 2005, the Defined Contribution Match, life and
long-term disability insurance coverage and deferred
compensation payments for the following Named Executive Officers
were as follows: |

During 2005, certain of our Named Executive Officers were
awarded options to purchase our Common Stock for one or more of
the following: (i) the conversion of certain outstanding
options to purchase Cendant common stock as a result of the
Spin-Off on February 1, 2005, (ii) an initial or
charter grant to certain management employees
following the Spin-Off on March 3, 2005, and
(iii) performance-based awards as part |
197
|
|
|
of our 2005 Annual Award on June 28, 2005. In connection
with the Spin-Off, options to purchase Cendant common stock with
exercise prices of $18.00 and higher held by
Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Danahy, Brown, Cashen and Suter
were converted into options to purchase an equivalent number of
shares of our Common Stock on substantially similar terms and
conditions. For a description of the manner in which options
relating to Cendant common stock were converted into options
relating to our Common Stock, see Item 12. Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and
Related Stockholder Matters Equity Compensation Plan
Information. In addition, the unvested portion of
Mr. Edwards options to purchase Cendant common stock
granted on April 22, 2003, with an exercise price of
$13.64 per share, was also converted into options to
purchase an equivalent number of shares of our Common Stock.
Messrs. Edwards, Danahy, Brown, Cashen and Suter received
360,764, 79,556, 67,696, 104,909 and 216,848 options to purchase
our Common Stock as of the date of the Spin-Off, respectively,
which were converted from existing options to purchase Cendant
common stock. |

These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model based on dividend yield of 0%, expected
volatility of 30% for all stock option awards, and the following

Conversion of Cendant
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units into PHH Stock Options
and Restricted Stock Units
In connection with the Spin-Off, outstanding stock options to
purchase Cendant common stock (Cendant Options) held
by our employees with an exercise price of at least
$18.00 per share were converted into stock options to
purchase our Common Stock (PHH Options).
Additionally, the unvested portion of Mr. Edwards
Cendant Options granted on April 22, 2003, with an exercise
price of $13.64 per share, was also converted into PHH
Options. Each Cendant Option was converted into 1.0928 PHH
Options based on a conversion ratio, with the total rounded down
to the nearest whole number. The conversion ratio was determined
by dividing the last trade of Cendant common stock on
January 31, 2005, or $23.55, by the first trade of our
Common Stock on February 1, 2005, or $21.55. The exercise
price for the PHH Options was determined by dividing the
exercise price for the Cendant Options by the conversion ratio,
rounded up to the nearest cent.
In addition, the outstanding restricted stock units related to
Cendant common stock (Cendant RSUs) held by our
employees were converted PHH RSUs. The number of PHH RSUs
received by each of our employees equaled the number of Cendant
RSUs multiplied by the conversion ratio.

PHH Corporation Pension Plan |
Effective as of the Spin-Off, we adopted a defined benefit
employee pension plan, named the PHH Corporation Pension Plan
(the PHH Plan), which is identical in all material
respects to the Cendant Corporation Pension Plan. Benefits under
the Cendant Pension Plan were frozen for participants including
our Named Executive Officers. The PHH Plan assumed all
liabilities and obligations owed under the Cendant Pension Plan
to Cendant Pension Plan participants who were actively employed
by us at the time of the Spin-Off, including
Messrs. Edwards, Kilroy, Brown, Cashen and Suter. Certain
of our employees, including Messrs. Raubenstine and Danahy,
were not participants in the Cendant Pension Plan and are not
participants in the PHH Plan. The benefits under the PHH Plan
that are accrued to our Named Executive Officers were frozen and
such officers may not accrue further benefits under the PHH Plan.
Each of the Named Executive Officers, other than
Messrs. Raubenstine and Danahy, is eligible to receive a
benefit under the PHH Plan based on 2% of their final average
compensation times the number of their years of benefit service
(up to a maximum of 30 years) minus 50% of their annualized
primary Social Security benefit. For purposes of determining the
Named Executive Officers benefits under the PHH Plan,
their final average compensation and years of benefit service
shall be based on compensation and service earned prior to
October 31, 1999 (October 31, 2004, for
Mr. Kilroy). The Named Executive Officers will not accrue
any additional benefits under the PHH Plan or under any other
defined benefit plan of PHH or Cendant after October 31,
1999 (October 31, 2004 for Mr. Kilroy).
199
The table below shows the estimated annual benefit payable to
each such Named Executive Officer commencing at age 65
under the PHH Plan. For Mr. Suter, the amount also includes
benefits payable under a supplemental pension plan formerly
sponsored by us which provides additional benefits which
otherwise would have been payable but for Internal Revenue
Service limitations. The benefits payable to each of the
following Named Executive Officers have been frozen and such
officers may not accrue further benefits under the PHH Plan or
under any other defined benefit plan provided by us or Cendant.
The benefits set forth in the table below for each of the
following Named Executive Officers reflect straight-line annuity
amounts and reflect any offsets for estimated Social Security
benefits.

Compensation Committee
Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is
comprised of three independent, non-executive directors who are
responsible for overseeing our executive compensation policies
and programs. The Board of Directors adopted a Compensation
Committee Charter (the Charter) which sets forth the
purpose, composition, authority and responsibilities of the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee evaluates the
performance, base salaries, annual and long-term cash and equity
incentives, and other compensation for executive officers,
including the Chief Executive Officer.
Executive Officer Compensation Policies. The purpose of
our executive compensation policies is to attract, retain and
motivate qualified executive officers to manage our business in
order to maximize stockholder value. Our executive officer
compensation policies are intended to facilitate the achievement
of our business strategies through aligning compensation with
our companys performance by including variable, at-risk
compensation that is dependant upon meeting specified
performance targets and aligning the interests of our executive
officers with the interests of the stockholders by providing
equity-based compensation as a component of total compensation.
The Compensation Committee does not rely upon a fixed formula or
specific numerical criteria in determining an executive
officers total compensation, and considers our
companys and personal performance criteria, competitive
compensation levels for companies in similar businesses and of
similar size, where available, the economic environment as well
as the recommendation of an independent executive compensation
consultant. The Compensation Committee exercises its business
judgment based on all of these criteria.
Components of Executive Compensation. The material
elements of executive compensation arrangements include base
salary, variable compensation programs, and long-term incentive
awards.
|
|
|
|
|
Base Salaries. The Compensation Committee is responsible
for determining the salary of our Chief Executive Officer and
other senior executive officers, which includes the approval of
annual adjustments to their base compensation. Salary
recommendations for executive officers, other than the Chief
Executive Officer, are also reviewed annually by the chief
executive officer, chief financial officer and senior vice
president of human resources for the appropriate operating
subsidiary. The Compensation Committee assesses salary levels
based upon the nature of the position and the contribution,
achievement, experience and tenure of the executive officer as
well as economic factors and competitive compensation levels for
companies in similar businesses and of similar size, where
available. The base salaries of the Named Executive Officers for
2005 were established by Cendant prior to the Spin-Off and
reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee following
the Spin-Off. The Compensation Committee received market
research from an independent executive compensation consultant
regarding comparable compensation programs for similarly
situated executive officers at companies in similar business and
of similar size, |
200
|
|
|
|
|
where available. The Compensation Committee considers such
advice and compensation surveys in connection with establishing
salaries for executive officers. |
|
|
|
Variable Compensation Programs. Our executive officers
may receive additional compensation through incentive programs
or bonus programs designed to motivate eligible recipients to
achieve our strategic objectives. Each executive officer is
eligible to receive an annual performance bonus based upon the
performance of the individual executive officer and operating
segment and/or Company performance goals established by the
Compensation Committee. Those bonus payments are subject to the
approval of the Compensation Committee. The performance goals
are adjusted each year to coincide with our overall strategy. In
February 2005, the Compensation Committee established
performance targets based upon the achievement of target return
on equity and net income for 2005 under the 2005 Management
Incentive Plans. As a result of the significant changes to our
business operations following the Spin-Off, the Compensation
Committee amended the 2005 Management Incentive Plans in
November 2005 establishing pre-tax income after minority
interest as the performance target replacing return on equity
and net income. The Compensation Committee has determined that
the performance target for 2005 had been exceeded and authorized
the payment of cash bonuses in excess of 100% of the payout
target in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Management
Incentive Plans to our executive officers, including the Chief
Executive Officer. The bonuses paid to our Named Executive
Officers for 2005 are set forth in the Summary
Compensation Table. |
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee
administers our 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan (the
Plan), which provides for equity awards, including
restricted stock units and options to purchase our Common Stock.
The Compensation Committee considers equity awards to executive
officers an appropriate and effective method of retaining key
management employees and aligning the interest of employees with
those stockholders. Eligibility for stock awards, the number of
shares underlying each award and the terms and conditions of
each award are determined by the Compensation Committee upon
consultation with management and an independent executive
compensation consultant. Following the Spin-Off, the
Compensation Committee authorized certain conversion awards
which replaced Cendant stock awards with comparable awards of
our Common Stock in the form of restricted stock units and stock
options. On March 3, 2005, following the Spin-Off, the
Compensation Committee granted stock options to certain
executive officers and other employees (the Charter
Grant), all of which vest on March 3, 2009. In
addition, on June 28, 2005, the Compensation Committee
awarded service-based restricted stock units and/or stock
options to executive officers with provisions for accelerated
vesting upon the achievement of certain annual performance
targets established by the Committee for 2005, 2006, 2007 and
2008. Additional information with respect to the Charter Grant
and 2005 Equity Award to our Named Executive Officers is set
forth above under Summary Compensation
Table and Option Grants in Last Fiscal
Year. |
Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Mr. Edwards
has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since
the Spin-Off and prior to that was the President and Chief
Executive Officer of PHH Mortgage from February 1996 until the
Spin-Off. Since August 2005, Mr. Edwards has also resumed
his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of PHH
Mortgage in addition to his role with the Company. Immediately
after the Spin-Off, we entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Edwards. That agreement had a term ending on
February 1, 2008, and provided for a minimum base salary of
$625,000 and participation in employee benefit plans generally
available to our executive officers. Mr. Edwards
agreement provided for an annual incentive award with a target
amount equal to no less than 100% of his base salary, subject to
attainment of performance goals, and grants of long-term
incentive awards based upon such terms and conditions as
determined by our board of directors or our Compensation
Committee. In addition, Mr. Edwards was entitled to receive
an equity incentive award under the employment agreement
relating to our Common Stock that would have vested based on the
achievement of specified performance goals and would have had a
value on the grant date of $2.5 million, which value would
have been based on such performance criteria determined by our
Compensation Committee. After the Spin-Off, we generally do not
enter into employment agreements with any of our executive
officers. In accordance with this practice, we and
Mr. Edwards terminated his employment agreement effective
February 24, 2005, and Mr. Edwards employment
with us is now on an at-will basis.
201
The Compensation Committee reviewed and approved
Mr. Edwards compensation for 2005, which included a
base salary of $564,635 and target bonus payout under the 2005
Management Incentive Plan of 100% of base salary upon
achievement of the 2005 performance target. The 2005 Management
Incentive Plan permits a payout of up to 125% of the target
bonus payout in the event the performance target is exceeded. As
previously discussed, the Compensation Committee established the
performance target as pre-tax income after minority interest
excluding certain Spin-Off related expenses in 2005.
Mr. Edwards received a bonus award of $643,684 as a result
of us exceeding the established performance target for pre-tax
income after minority interest. As noted above, certain awards
of Cendant stock options and restricted stock units for the
years prior to 2005 were converted to shares of restricted stock
units and options to purchase our Common Stock effective as of
the Spin-Off. These awards did not relate to
Mr. Edwards performance in 2005 and continued the
vesting schedule provided under the original awards agreements.
Mr. Edwards received a stock option award on March 3,
2005 under the Charter Grant of 49,229 options to purchase our
Common Stock, all of which vest on March 3, 2009, and an
award of 25,028 stock options and 11,505 restricted stock units
on June 28, 2005, which vest annually in three equal
installments beginning on June 28, 2009, subject to
performance acceleration in 25% increments for achievement of
performance targets established by the Compensation Committee
for each of the four fiscal years ending prior to June 28,
2009. Mr. Edwards base salary was not changed for
2006.
Deductibility for Compensation. In accordance with
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the
deductibility for federal corporate tax purposes of compensation
paid to certain of our individual executive officers in excess
of $1 million in any year may be restricted. The
Compensation Committee believes that it is in the best interests
of our stockholders to comply with such tax law, while still
maintaining the goals of our compensation programs. Accordingly,
where it is deemed necessary and in our best interests to
continue to attract and retain the best possible executive
talent and to motivate such executives to achieve the goals
inherent in our business strategy, the Compensation Committee
will recommend compensation to executive officers which may
exceed the limits of deductibility. In this regard, certain
portions of compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers
may not be deductible for federal income tax purposes under
Section 162(m).

Ann D. Logan |
The report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors should not be deemed to be soliciting
material or to be filed with the SEC, except
to the extent that we specifically request that the information
be treated as soliciting material or specifically incorporate it
by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of
1933 (the Securities Act) or the Exchange Act. Such
information will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by
reference.
Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of
outside directors within the meaning of the
regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, non-employee directors
under SEC
Rule 16b-3, and
independent directors as affirmatively determined by
the Board of Directors pursuant to the NYSE Listing Standards.
The members of the Compensation Committee are the individuals
named as signatories to the report immediately preceding this
paragraph. None of the members of the Compensation Committee are
our former officers or employees.
202
Employment contracts
and termination, severance and change in control
arrangements
Immediately after the Spin-Off, we entered into an employment
agreement with Terence W. Edwards, our President and Chief
Executive Officer with a term ending on February 1, 2008.
In addition to providing for a minimum base salary of $625,000
and participation in employee benefit plans generally available
to our executive officers, Mr. Edwards agreement
provided for an annual incentive award with a target amount
equal to no less than 100% of his base salary, subject to
attainment of performance goals, and grants of long-term
incentive awards upon such terms and conditions as determined by
our board of directors or our Compensation Committee. In
addition, Mr. Edwards was entitled to receive an equity
incentive award under the employment agreement relating to our
Common Stock that would have vested based on the achievement of
specified performance goals and would have had a value on the
grant date of $2.5 million, which value would have been
based on such performance criteria determined by our
Compensation Committee. After the Spin-Off, we generally do not
enter into employment agreements with any of our executive
officers. In accordance with this practice, we and
Mr. Edwards terminated his employment agreement and
Mr. Edwards employment with us is on an at-will basis.
|
|
|
Change in Control Arrangements |
Generally, all stock options granted to each of the Named
Executive Officers under our 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan will
become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, and all
restricted stock units will vest upon the occurrence of any
change in control transaction affecting our company.
203
Performance
Graph
The following graph and table compare the cumulative total
shareholder return on our Common Stock with (i) the Russell
2000 Index and (ii) the Russell 2000 Financial Services
Index. On January 31, 2005, all shares of our Common Stock
were spun-off from Cendant to the holders of Cendants
common stock on a pro rata basis. Our Common Stock began trading
on the NYSE on February 1, 2005. Cendant distributed one
share of our Common Stock for every twenty shares of Cendant
common stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution.

Item 13. |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions |
Spin-Off from
Cendant
Prior to the Spin-Off, we entered into various agreements with
Cendant and Cendants real estate services division in
connection with the Spin-Off (collectively, the Spin-Off
Agreements), including (i) the Mortgage Venture
Operating Agreement and related trademark license, management
services, marketing agreements, and other agreements for the
purpose of originating and selling mortgage loans primarily
sourced through NRT Incorporated, Cartus Corporation and Title
Research Group LLC, which commenced operations in October 2005,
and is consolidated within our financial statements; (ii) a
strategic relationship agreement whereby Cendants real
estate services division and we have agreed on non-competition,
indemnification and exclusivity arrangements; (iii) the
Separation Agreement that requires the exchange of information
with Cendant and other provisions regarding our separation from
Cendant; (iv) the Tax Sharing Agreement governing the
allocation of liability for taxes between Cendant and us,
indemnification for liability for taxes and responsibility for
preparing and filing tax returns and defending tax contests, as
well as other tax-related matters; and (v) the Transition
Services Agreement governing certain continuing arrangements
between us and Cendant to provide for the transition of our
company from a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant to an
independent, publicly traded company. For a discussion of these
agreements, see Item 1. Business
Arrangements with Cendant Corporation in this
Form 10-K.
Prior to and as part of the Spin-Off, Cendant made a cash
contribution to us of $100 million and we distributed
assets net of liabilities of $577 million to Cendant. Such
amount included the historical cost of the net assets of our
former relocation and fuel card businesses, certain other assets
and liabilities per the Spin-Off Agreements and the net amount
of forgiveness of certain payables and receivables, including
income taxes, between us, our former relocation and fuel card
businesses and Cendant.
207
On May 12, 2005, PHH Broker Partner and Realogy Venture
Partner entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to
the Mortgage Venture Operating Agreement. The Amendment extends
to ten years the time period after which Realogy Venture Partner
may provide a two-year notice of termination in connection with
the Mortgage Venture, other than as the result of material
breach and certain other events. For additional discussion of
the Amendment, see Note 23, Related Party
Transactions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in this
Form 10-K.
Corporate Expenses and
Cash Dividends
Prior to the Spin-Off and in the ordinary course of business, we
were allocated certain expenses from Cendant for corporate
functions including executive management, accounting, tax,
finance, human resources, information technology, legal and
facility-related expenses. Cendant allocated these corporate
expenses to subsidiaries conducting ongoing operations based on
a percentage of the subsidiaries forecasted revenues. Such
expenses amounted to $3 million, $32 million and
$36 million during the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, at December 31,
2004, we had a $131 million receivable from Cendant,
representing amounts paid by us on behalf of Cendant, net of the
accumulation of corporate allocations and amounts paid by
Cendant on behalf of us. Amounts receivable from Cendant were
included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 2004. There was no such receivable from
Cendant as of December 31, 2005.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
we paid Cendant $140 million (or $2.66 per share after
giving effect to the 52,684-for-one stock split effected
January 28, 2005) of cash dividends. We did not pay cash
dividends to Cendant during the year ended December 31,
2005. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we
transferred a subsidiary owned by Speedy Title and Appraisal
Review Services LLC to a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant not
within our ownership structure. The net assets of the subsidiary
transferred were $16 million.
Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement among us, Cendant
and Cendant Operations, Inc., in 2005 we received approximately
$398,000 in fees for certain information technology support,
equipment and services at or from our data center, and certain
personal computer desktop support for approximately 100 Cendant
personnel, located at our facility in Sparks, Maryland. During
2005, we also received approximately $434,000 in fees for
information technology services as well as security, maintenance
and related services provided under other agreements with
Realogy Corporation (Realogy) and certain Realogy
affiliates, subsidiaries and business units.
Certain Business
Relationships
A.B. Krongard, our Non-Executive Chairman, is also a member of
the global Board of our principal outside law firm, DLA Piper.
Our legal fees and disbursements paid to DLA Piper during 2005
did not exceed 5% of DLA Pipers gross revenues for 2005.
James W. Brinkley, one of our Directors, serves as Vice Chairman
of Smith Barney, which was acquired by Citigroup, Inc. as part
of Citigroups Global Wealth Management segment in a
transaction with Legg Mason, Inc. in December 2005. We have
certain relationships with the Corporate and Investment Banking
segment of Citigroup, including financial services, commercial
banking and other transactions. Citigroup is a lender in our
$1.3 billion Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving
Credit Agreement, $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement
and the Base Indenture and supplements thereto for Chesapeake
Funding LLC (the Citigroup Agreements). The fees
paid to Citigroup, and indebtedness incurred by us, pursuant to
these relationships did not exceed 5% of either Citigroups
or our revenues during 2005, or our total consolidated assets as
of December 31, 2005. During 2006, we have incurred
additional indebtedness with Citigroup under the Citigroup
Agreements totaling approximately $767 million as of
June 30, 2006.
We have employed Bradford C. Burgess, who serves as a Director,
Business Development at PHH Arval, since 2001. During 2005, he
became the son-in-law
of George J. Kilroy. Mr. Burgess received compensation in
excess of $60,000 for 2005 and was eligible to participate in
employee benefit plans available to employees generally.
208
Indebtedness of
Management
One or more of our mortgage lending subsidiaries has made, in
the ordinary course of business, mortgage loans and/or home
equity lines of credit to directors and executive officers and
their immediate families. Such mortgage loans and/or home equity
lines of credit were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with our
other customers generally, and they did not involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features. Generally, we sell these mortgage loans and/or home
equity lines of credit, soon after origination, into the
secondary market in the ordinary course of business.

Item 14. |
Principal Accountant Fees and Services |
Our Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit
services and permitted non-audit services, including the fees
and terms thereof, to be performed for us and our subsidiaries
by our independent registered public accounting firm (the
Independent Auditor). The Audit Committee has
adopted a pre-approval policy and implemented procedures which
provide that all engagements of our Independent Auditor are
reviewed and pre-approved by the Audit Committee, subject to the
de minimis exception for non-audit services described in
Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act which our Audit
Committee approves prior to the completion of the audit. The
pre-approval policy also permits the delegation of pre-approval
authority to a member of the Audit Committee between meetings of
the Audit Committee, and any such approvals are reviewed and
ratified by the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
professional services were performed for us by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our Independent Auditor,
pursuant to the oversight of our Audit Committee following the
Spin-Off and subject to the processes used by Cendants
Audit Committee to approve and monitor services by its
Independent Auditor prior to the Spin-Off. Audit and
audit-related fees aggregated $16.8 million and
$2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. In 2004, Cendant was billed certain fees
directly by our Independent Auditor. Set forth below are the
fees billed to us by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member
firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and their respective
affiliates. All fees and services were approved in accordance
with the Audit Committees pre-approval policy since the
Spin-Off.
