REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the PHH Corporation Employee Benefits Committee and Participants of the PHH Corporation Employee
Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the PHH
Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans 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. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31,
2010 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. Such schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2010 financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the PHH Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description or the Plan
Document, which are available from the Plan sponsor, PHH Corporation (the Company, PHH or the
Plan Sponsor) (NYSE: PHH), for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 401(k)
employee salary deferral benefits and employer contributions for the Companys eligible employees.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA). The Plan is administered by the Company and fiduciary responsibility for the Plan has
been delegated by the Companys Board of Directors to the Employee Benefits Committee (the Plan
Administrator). Bank of America, N.A. (the Trustee) is the Plans trustee.
Plan Provisions
Eligibility. Each regular employee of the Company (as defined in the Plan Document) is eligible to
participate in the Plan following the later of commencement of employment or the attainment of age
eighteen. Each part-time employee of the Company (as defined in the Plan Document) is eligible to
participate in the Plan following the later of one year of eligible service or the age of eighteen.
Participant Accounts. A separate account is maintained for each participant. Each participants
account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of the Companys
contributions and Plan earnings (losses), including interest, dividends and net realized and
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in investments; less certain administrative expenses.
Allocations are based on participant account balances, as defined in the Plan Document. The benefit
to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants
vested account.
Participant Contributions. Participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions to the Plan and may
contribute from 1% to 40% of eligible compensation (as defined in the Plan Document), subject to
the limitations described in the Plan and the IRC. Statutory annual maximum limits, which are
adjusted each year by the IRC for cost of living increases, were $16,500 for 2010 and 2009. Certain
eligible participants who are at least age 50 by December 31 are permitted to contribute a maximum
of $5,500 as catch-up contribution provided participants first reach the plan imposed contribution
limit or reach the statutory pre-tax maximum.
Employer Contributions. The Company provides matching contributions to the Plan equal to 100% of
each eligible participants salary deferred up to 4% of such participants eligible compensation
per pay period. Participants are eligible for the employer contribution following one year of
service (as defined in the Plan Document) provided they are regularly scheduled to work at least 20
hours per week. Catch up contributions made by eligible participants are not matched by the
Company.
Rollovers. All participants, upon commencement of employment, are provided the option of making a
rollover contribution into the Plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations
and Plan provisions.
Investments. Participants direct the investment of contributions to various investment options
offered by the Plan and may reallocate investments (in 1% increments) or change future
contributions on a daily basis. Only one reallocation is allowed each day. Participants should
refer to each funds prospectus for a more complete description of the risks associated with each
fund. Participants may be subject to penalties imposed by certain funds due to a participants
failure to hold investments in such funds for specified periods of time. Contributions are invested
in the Plans default investment option if no investment direction is provided by the participant.
The qualified default investment alternative designated by the Plan is the Oakmark Equity & Income
Fund.

PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vesting. The Plan provides each eligible participant immediate fully vested rights in all employee,
employer and rollover contributions regardless of the employees length of participation in the
Plan or service with the Company.
Loans to Participants. Active participants may obtain a loan from the Plan and may only hold one
outstanding loan at any time. Loans cannot exceed the lesser of (a) 50% of the participants vested
account balance, provided the vested balance is at least $1,000 or (b) $50,000 reduced by the
difference between the highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months and the
actual balance on the date of the loan. The loans are secured by the participants vested account
balance and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus one percent. Loan repayments are
made through payroll deductions over a term not to exceed five years, unless the proceeds of the
loan are used to purchase or build the principal residence of the participant, in which case the
loan maybe repaid over a period not to exceed 15 years.
Payment of Benefits to Participants. Participants are entitled to withdraw all or any portion of
their vested accounts in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law. Participants may
make full or partial withdrawals of their salary deferral or rollover accounts upon attaining age
59 1/2 or for a hardship in certain circumstances (as defined in the Plan Document) before that
age.
Upon termination of employment, the participant (or beneficiary in the event of death) is entitled
to receive the entire account balance. In the event a terminated participants account balance is
$1,000 or less, the account balance will be distributed in a lump sum payment without the
participants consent. If the account balance is more than $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000, the
account balance will automatically be rolled over into an Individual Retirement Rollover Account.
For account balances which exceed $5,000, no distribution will be made unless the participant
consents to a distribution.
Amounts to be paid to participants who have elected to withdraw from the Plan, but did not yet
receive distributions from the Plan totaled $37,090 and $39,973 at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Benefits to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Forfeitures. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, forfeited nonvested accounts were $7,002 and $2,761,
respectively. Forfeitures are applied first to pay administrative expenses of the Plan and any
balance of forfeitures in excess of the administrative expenses during the Plan Year can be used to
reduce employer contributions.
Transfers. PHH Home Loans, LLC (Home Loans) sponsors the PHH Home Loans, LLC Employee Savings
Plan for its eligible employees. If participants change their employer between Home Loans and PHH
(or a wholly-owned subsidiary of PHH) during the year, their account balances are transferred into
the corresponding plan.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid by PHH at its discretion;
otherwise, such expenses are paid by the Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
all Administrative expenses recorded by the Plan were primarily loan origination fees and
associated expenses charged to applicable participant accounts. All other administrative expenses
associated with the Plan were paid by PHH.
Plan Termination. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves the right
to modify, suspend, amend, discontinue or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time
subject to the provisions of ERISA.

PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the U.S. (GAAP).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Plan includes highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less in
cash and cash equivalents.
Investments and Income Recognition
Shares of registered investment companies are valued at the quoted market price, which represents
the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Plans investments in
common/collective trusts consist of funds that invest primarily in synthetic guaranteed investment
contracts, money market funds, corporate and government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond
funds, equity securities and fixed income securities. Synthetic guaranteed investment contracts are
a combination of a portfolio of individual assets and a wrap contract typically issued by a
financial institution or insurance company that provides that participant transactions are executed
at contract value. Investments in these common/collective trusts are presented in the Statements of
Net Assets Available for Benefits at the fair value of the underlying investments with an
Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit responsive investment contracts
presented as a separate line item which represents the gains and losses in market value of the
underlying investments relative to wrap contract values. Contract values represent amounts
contributed, plus the Plans pro-rata share of interest income earned by such fund, less
administrative expenses and withdrawals. The Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully
benefit responsive investment contracts as of December 31, 2009 solely pertained to the Bank of
America, N.A. Retirement Preservation Trust, (the Trust) which invested primarily in synthetic
guaranteed investment contracts. On October 6, 2010, Bank of America, N.A approved a resolution to
terminate and commence liquidation of the assets of the Trust and, effective with the approval, the
fund changed from a stable value fund to a short-term bond fund. The resolution resulted in the
elimination of any existing wrap contracts of the Trust and the fund changed its accounting method
from contract value to fair value accounting. The Trust terminated its operations on February 28,
2011 and was liquidated on March 1, 2011 at a net asset value per unit of $1.00. As of December 31,
2010, the Plan had no investments in common/collective trusts which invested in synthetic
guaranteed investment contracts and the Plans investment in the Trust are recorded at fair value.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in mutual funds are
deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately stated. Consequently,
management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such
investments.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Statements of Changes in
Net Assets Available for Benefits present Net appreciation in investments, which includes
unrealized gains and losses on investments held at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and realized gains
and losses on investments sold during the years then ended. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest is recorded when earned.
Fair Value Measurements
A three-level valuation hierarchy is used to classify inputs into the measurement of assets and
liabilities at fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative reliability and
availability to market participants of inputs for the valuation of an asset or liability as of the
measurement date. When the valuation technique used in determining the fair value of an asset or
liability utilizes inputs from different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the
measurement in its entirety is categorized is based upon the lowest level input that is significant
to the measurement in its entirety.
6
PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The three levels of this valuation hierarchy consist of the following:
Level One. Level One inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities which the Plan Administrator has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level Two. Level Two inputs are observable for that asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly, and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
observable inputs for the asset or liability other than quoted prices and inputs derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the
asset or liability has a specified contractual term, the inputs must be observable for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level Three. Level Three inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect
the Plan Administrators assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and are developed based on the
best information available.
The Plan Administrator determines fair value based on quoted market prices, where available. If
quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated based upon other observable inputs. The
Plan Administrator uses unobservable inputs when observable inputs are not available. Adjustments
may be made to reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Plan Administrator to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various securities including mutual funds, common/collective trusts, money
market funds and common stock. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest
rate and credit risks and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that those changes could materially affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events are evaluated through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Changes in Accounting Policies
Fair Value Measurements. In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements which amends ASC 820, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosure. This new accounting guidance adds new disclosure requirements
about the level of disaggregation and about the valuation techniques and inputs used. The updates
to ASC 820 also add disclosures about transfers in and out of level one and level two of the
valuation hierarchy and include separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements relating to level three measurements. The Plan adopted the updates to ASC 820 effective
January 1, 2010 except for the requirement to provide additional disclosures about the activity in
the reconciliation of level three activity, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010. The Plan does not currently hold any assets classified as level three. The
adoption did not have an impact, and future adoption is not expected to have an impact, on the
Plans financial statements.
7
PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Participant Loans. In September 2010, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans.
This new accounting guidance requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable rather than
a Plan investment and measured at unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest. ASU 2010-25 was
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted, and was required to
be applied retrospectively. The adoption did not have an impact on the Plans financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements
See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of the valuation
hierarchy of inputs used in determining fair value measurements.
Mutual Funds. The Plans investments in mutual funds are classified in Level One of the valuation
hierarchy with the fair value determined by quoted market prices, which represent the net asset
value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Common/Collective Trusts. The Plans investments in common/collective trusts are classified in
Level Two of the valuation hierarchy. Common/collective trusts are not traded in active markets and
fair value is estimated based upon the significance of unobservable inputs and the Plans ability
to redeem the investments at the stated price on the measurement date.
The fair value of common/collective trusts is estimated by valuing underlying investment asset
prices through actual trade data, benchmark yield data, broker or dealer quotes, issuer spread data
and other reference information. The Plan can redeem these investments at the stated price on
December 31, 2010.
Money Market Funds. The Plans investments in money market funds are classified in Level Two of the
valuation hierarchy with the fair value estimated based upon the significance of unobservable
inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the investment holdings underlying the money market
funds.
Common Stock. The Plans investments in common stock are classified in Level One of the valuation
hierarchy and the fair value is determined by the last reported sales price on a national
securities exchange on the last business day of the Plan year.
The Plans assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

5. Federal Income Tax Status
The Plan is governed by a Plan Document which the Plan Administrator believes was drafted and
designed to operate and comply with the applicable provisions of the IRC. Due to administrative
changes regarding the timing of the application of IRS plan determination letters as of December
31, 2009, the Plan had not been required to apply for a determination letter from the IRS. On
January 29, 2010, the Plan filed its initial application for a determination letter with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and in a letter dated February 22, 2010, the IRS was in receipt of
its application. As of December 31, 2010, the Plan Administrator had not yet received a
determination letter from the IRS, however, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is
currently designed and being operated, as amended, in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the IRC and may be amended, as necessary, to continue to comply with applicable requirements.
Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plans financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax
liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be
sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken
by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken,
or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the
financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there
are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no
longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.
6. Exempt Party-in-Interest Transactions
A portion of the Plans investments represent shares in funds managed by the Trustee. These
transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.
The Plans investments also include 37,215 and 44,916 shares of PHH common stock as of December 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively with a fair value of $861,529 and $723,593, respectively. During the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan recorded net appreciation in fair value for shares
of PHH common stock of $295,718 and $167,525, respectively.

PHH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
