EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The financial statements and other disclosures contained in this report include those of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), which is the registrant, and those of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”), in which PFSI acquired an ownership interest in a reorganization transaction that was completed after March 31, 2013 in connection with the initial public offering of PFSI (which was completed on May 14, 2013).  Accordingly, because PFSI had no substantial assets or activities (except for activities relating to its initial public offering) as of March 31, 2013 and because the reorganization transactions had not been completed as of such date, PFSI believes it is informative to provide the financial statements and various other disclosures of PennyMac as of March 31, 2013 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. For more information regarding the transactions described above, see Note 22, “Subsequent Events,” to the financial statements of PennyMac contained in this report.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 31, 2012. Pursuant to a reorganization, the Company became a holding corporation and its sole asset is an equity interest in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). The Company is the managing member of PennyMac and operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of PennyMac subject to the consent rights of other members under certain circumstances and, through PennyMac and its subsidiaries, continues to conduct the business now conducted by these subsidiaries.

 

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting—The balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Separate statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows have not been presented in the financial statements because this entity has had no activities.

 

Underwriting Commissions and Offering Costs—Underwriting commissions and offering costs to be incurred by the Company in connection with its common share offerings will be reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Underwriting commissions and offering costs are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet because such costs are not the Company’s liability until the Company completes a successful initial public offering.

 

Organizational Costs—Organizational costs are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet because such costs are not the Company’s liability until the Company completes a successful initial public offering. Thereafter, costs incurred to organize the Company will be expensed as incurred.

 

Note 3 — Liabilities

 

In March 2013, the Company borrowed $50,000 from PennyMac to fund its operating cash account.

 

Note 4—Stockholders’ Equity

 

Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation as in effect as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company is authorized to issue 9,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and 1,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and all shares of Class A common stock and Class B Common Stock are identical.

 

Note 5—Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated all events and transactions through the date the Company issued these financial statements. During this period:

 

·                  In connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) by the Company of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, covered by the final prospectus, dated May 8, 2013 and included as part of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-186495) (the “Registration Statement”), the Company and PennyMac consummated a recapitalization (“Recapitalization”). Under the terms of the Recapitalization, the Company, PennyMac and the existing unitholders of PennyMac entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PennyMac, dated May 8, 2013 (the “LLC Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company became the sole managing member of PennyMac and the capital structure of PennyMac was modified by converting all existing classes of units into new Class A units, with the allocation of Class A units among PennyMac’s existing owners determined pursuant to the distribution provisions of its former limited liability company agreement based upon the liquidation value of PennyMac, assuming it was liquidated at the time of the IPO of Class A Common Stock with a value implied by the IPO of the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO.

 

Also in connection with the Recapitalization, on May 8, 2013, the Company entered into: (i) an exchange agreement with PennyMac and the then-existing unitholders of PennyMac; (ii) a tax receivable agreement with PennyMac and the then-existing unitholders of PennyMac; (iii) a registration rights agreement with the then-existing unitholders of PennyMac and (iv) separate stockholder agreements with each of BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC and HC Partners LLP, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments LLC.

 

·                  On May 8, 2013, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective. The Company is authorized to issue 210.0 million shares consisting of 10.0 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 200.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock, and 1,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

 

·                  On May 14, 2013, the Company completed its IPO by issuing approximately 12.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock for cash consideration of $16.875 per share (net of underwriting discounts) to a syndicate of underwriters led by Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as joint book-running managers for the offering. Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as co-managers. The Company’s net proceeds from the offering were approximately $215.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. As contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Company used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase approximately 12.8 million newly issued Class A units of PennyMac at a price per Class A unit of $16.875.

 

·      On June 13, 2013, the Sub-Committee of the Compensation Committee of PFSI authorized the grant of (a) nonstatutory stock options (each a “Stock Option”) to purchase a total of 259,565 shares of PFSI’s Class A Common Stock (the “Optioned Shares”), and (b) 324,460 performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), pursuant to PFSI’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, to its executive officers, including those equity awards granted to the named executive officers and principal financial officer of PFSI as previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2013. Also on June 13, 2013 and as disclosed in the aforementioned Current Report on Form 8-K, the Compensation Committee authorized the grant of (a) Stock Options to purchase a total of 164,112 Optioned Shares, (b) 177,007 performance-based RSUs, and (c) 69,127 time-based RSUs to other eligible participants pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

PRIVATE NATIONAL MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”) is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PennyMac’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential mortgage lending (including correspondent lending and retail lending) and loan servicing. The investment management activities and a portion of the loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of investment vehicles that invest in residential mortgage loans and related assets. PennyMac’s primary wholly-owned subsidiaries are:

 

·                  PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”) – a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM enters into investment management agreements with entities that invest in residential mortgage loans and related assets.

 

Presently, PCM has management agreements with PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a publicly held real estate investment trust (“PMT”), and three investment funds: PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P., (the “Master Fund”), both registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC (collectively, “Investment Funds”). Together, the Investment Funds and PMT are referred to as the “Advised Entities.”

 

·                  PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) – a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage loans on behalf of third parties or entities managed by the Company, originates new prime credit quality residential mortgage loans, and generally engages in mortgage banking activities for its own account and the account of PMT.

 

PLS is approved as a seller/servicer of mortgage loans by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and as an issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). PLS is a licensed Federal Housing Administration Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and a lender/servicer with the Veterans Administration (“VA”) (each an “Agency” and collectively the “Agencies”).

 

·                  PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (“PMOFA”) – a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Master Fund. PMOFA is entitled to incentive fees representing allocations of profits (the “Carried Interest”) from the Master Fund.

 

Initial Public Offering and Recapitalization

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) is a Delaware corporation that has not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and initial public offering of shares.

 

On May 14, 2013, PFSI completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it sold approximately 12.8 million shares of its common stock, which includes approximately 1.7 million shares sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. PFSI received net proceeds of $215.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, from sales of its shares in the IPO. PFSI used these net proceeds to purchase approximately 12.8 million Class A Units of PennyMac. PFSI operates and controls all of the business and affairs and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its subsidiaries.

 

Prior to the IPO, PennyMac completed a recapitalization by amending its limited liability company agreement to convert all classes of ownership interests held by its existing owners to a single class of common units. The conversion of existing interests was based on the various interests’ liquidation priorities as specified in PennyMac’s prior limited liability company agreement. In connection with that recapitalization, PFSI became the sole managing member of PennyMac.

 

As part of the IPO, PFSI entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Company’s existing owners whereby PFSI will pay to such owners of PennyMac 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that PFSI is deemed to realize under certain circumstances as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of the then-existing unitholders and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to PFSI entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company do not reflect the effect of the recapitalization described above which took effect on May 8, 2013, or the IPO completed on May 14, 2013.

Note 3—Transactions with Affiliates

 

PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust

 

Management Fees

 

Before February 1, 2013, under a management agreement, the Company received from PMT a base management fee. The base management fee was calculated at 1.5% per year of PMT’s shareholders’ equity. The management agreement also provided for a performance incentive fee, which was calculated at 20% per year of the amount by which PMT’s “core earnings,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before the incentive fee, exceeded an 8% “hurdle rate” as defined in the management agreement. The Company did not earn a performance incentive fee prior to February 1, 2013.

 

Effective February 1, 2013, the management agreement was amended to provide that:

 

·                  The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of PMT’s shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of PMT’s shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

 

·                  The performance incentive fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

 

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of: (a) 10% of the amount by which PMT’s net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which PMT’s net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on PMT’s equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which PMT’s net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.

 

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

 

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

 

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the four-quarter period.

 

The “high watermark” starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. The quarterly adjustment reflects the amount by which the net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the Fannie Mae Mortgage-Backed Security (“MBS”) yield (the target yield) for such quarter. If the net income is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s net income over (or under) the target yield, until the net income in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both receivable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or in PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at PMT’s option.

 

Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees earned from PMT for the periods presented:

The term of the management agreement, as amended, expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the management agreement.

 

In the event of termination by PMT, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances.  The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual (or, if the period is than 24 months, annualized) performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period before termination.

 

Mortgage Loan Servicing

 

The Company has a loan servicing agreement with PMT. Before February 1, 2013, the servicing fee rates were based on the risk characteristics of the mortgage loans serviced and total servicing compensation was established at levels that management believed were competitive with those charged by other servicers or specialty servicers, as applicable.

 

·                  Servicing fee rates for nonperforming loans ranged between 50 and 100 basis points per year on the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans serviced on PMT’s behalf. The Company was also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges, as well as interest on funds on deposit in custodial accounts. In the event the Company either effected a refinancing of a loan on PMT’s behalf and not through a third party lender and the resulting loan was readily saleable, or originated a loan to facilitate the disposition of real estate that PMT had acquired in settlement of a loan, the Company was entitled to receive from PMT market-based fees and compensation.

 

·                  For mortgage loans serviced by PMT as a result of acquisitions and sales with servicing rights retained in connection with PMT’s correspondent lending business, the Company was entitled to base subservicing fees and other customary market-based fees and charges as described above.

 

Effective February 1, 2013, the servicing agreement was amended to provide for servicing fees payable to the Company that changed from being based on a percentage of the loan’s unpaid principal balance to fixed per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the REO. The Company also remains entitled to market-based fees and charges including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges relating to loans it services for PMT.

 

·                  The base servicing fees for distressed whole loans are calculated based on a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of such loan or the related underlying real estate. Presently, the base servicing fees for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $125 per month for loans that are severely delinquent and in foreclosure.

 

·                  The base servicing fees for loans subserviced by the Company on PMT’s behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees for loans subserviced on PMT’s behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable rate mortgage loans. To the extent that these loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan falling within a range of $10 to $75 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or the related underlying real estate. The Company is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees.

Table of Contents

 

·                  The Company is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement because PMT does not have any employees or infrastructure. For these services, the Company receives a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and $3.25 per month for each subserviced loan. The Company is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performance of its servicing obligations.

 

·                  The Company, on behalf of PMT, currently participates in the U.S. Department of the Treasury and HUD’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) (and other similar mortgage loan modification programs), which establishes standard loan modification guidelines for “at risk” homeowners and provides incentive payments to certain participants, including loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The loan servicing agreement entitles the Company to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to the Company under HAMP in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which PMT previously paid the Company a modification fee, the Company shall reimburse PMT an amount equal to the incentive payments.

Correspondent Lending

 

Before February 1, 2013, PMT paid the Company a fulfillment fee of 50 basis points of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans sold to non-affiliates where PMT is approved or licensed to sell to such non-affiliate. Effective February 1, 2013, the mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement provides for a fulfillment fee paid to the Company based on the type of mortgage loan that PMT acquires. The fulfillment fee is equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans purchased by PMT, with the addition of potential fee rate discounts applicable to PMT’s monthly purchase volume in excess of designated thresholds. The Company has also agreed to provide such services exclusively for PMT’s benefit, and the Company and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party.

 

The Company is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that PMT acquires and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Presently, the applicable percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, (iii) 0.80% for the U.S. Department of the Treasury and HUD’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 105% or less, (iv) 1.20% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above.

 

In the event that PMT purchases mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $2.5 billion and less than $5 billion, the Company has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing PMT an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.025%, (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $2.5 billion and (iii) the percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal balance relating to mortgage loans for which the Company collected fulfillment fees in such month. In the event PMT purchases mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $5 billion, the Company has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing PMT an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.05%, (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $5 billion and (iii) the percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal balance relating to mortgage loans for which the Company collected fulfillment fees in such month.

 

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement, the Company currently purchases loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at its cost less fees collected by PMT from the seller, plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points.

Table of Contents

 

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by the Company with respect to PMT’s acquisition of mortgage loans under PennyMac Loan Services, LLC early purchase program, the Company is entitled to fees (i) accruing at a rate equal to $25,000 per year, and (ii) in the amount of $50 for each mortgage loan PMT acquires. In consideration for the warehouse services provided by the Company with respect to mortgage loans that PMT finances for its warehouse lending clients, with respect to each facility, the Company is entitled to fees (i) accruing at a rate equal to $25,000 per year, and (ii) in the amount of $50 for each mortgage loan that PMT finances thereunder. Where PMT has entered into both an early purchase agreement and a warehouse lending agreement with the same client, the Company shall only be entitled to one $25,000 per annum fee and, with respect to any mortgage loan that becomes subject to both such agreements, only one $50 per loan fee.

 

The term of the mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Investment Activities

 

Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) recapture agreement, effective February 1, 2013, if the Company refinances through its retail lending business loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to one of PMT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, without cost to PMT, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement, PMT may acquire from the Company the rights to receive certain excess servicing spread arising from MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans. The terms of each transaction under the spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement will be subject to the terms of such agreement as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

 

Other Transactions

 

In connection with the IPO of PMT’s common shares on August 4, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with PMT pursuant to which PMT agreed to reimburse the Company for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the underwriters in such offering (the “Conditional Reimbursement”) if PMT satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. Effective February 1, 2013, PMT amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement to the Company of the Conditional Reimbursement if PMT is required to pay the Company performance incentive fees under the management agreement at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement of the Conditional Reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $1.0 million and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million. The reimbursement agreement also provides for the payment to the underwriters in such offering of the payment that PMT agreed to make to them at the time of the offering if PMT satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As the Company earns performance incentive fees under the management agreement, such underwriters will be paid by PMT at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by the Company. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million.

 

In the event the termination fee is payable to the Company under the management agreement and the Company and the underwriters have not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.

Note 4—Earnings Per Unit

 

The following reflects the earnings per unit calculation of the Company and is not attributable to the calculation of PFSI’s earnings per common share following the IPO and recapitalization, as discussed in Note 22—Subsequent Events.

 

Earnings per unit is calculated using the two-class method. The Company allocates net income or loss to each class of participating unitholders as specified in the Company’s limited liability company agreement, which requires the allocation of distributions among the units under the assumption of a hypothetical liquidation of the Company as follows:

 

·                  First, to the preferred member units until the aggregate unpaid preferred distributions (the 8% annual compounded preferred return) have been paid.

 

·                  Second, to the preferred member units until all of the initial paid-in capital has been returned.

 

·                  Third, distributions will be made to the extent that prior period undistributed net income has not been distributed to any member (preferred, common or Class C). This represents previous undistributed amounts applicable to the remaining tiers (i.e. tier four, five and six that follow).

 

·                  Fourth, distributions will be made to the preferred and common units on a pro-rata basis to each outstanding unit. This distribution is referred to as the priority operating profit allocation to preferred and common units receiving an 8% compounded annual priority return beginning June 1, 2011. The aggregate amount distributable under this tier can range between $435,246,000 and $135,246,000 depending on the thresholds for newly originated loan acquisitions achieved by the correspondent lending group after June 1, 2011. Before June 1, 2011 there were no allocations of income required for this fourth tier distribution. If unpaid amounts exist at a period end, they are paid out of the following year or in a liquidation event under tier three above.

 

·                  Fifth, distributions will be made under the priority capital appreciation allocation to preferred and common units on a pro-rata basis to each unit outstanding. The priority capital appreciation would require total distributions in this tier of up to $300,000,000 before June 1, 2011. After June 1, 2011, the amount distributable under this tier can range between $300,000,000 and $0 depending on the thresholds for newly originated loan acquisitions achieved by the correspondent lending group. If unpaid amounts exist at a period end they are paid out of the following year or in a liquidation event under tier three above.

 

·                  Sixth, and finally, a sharing of the remaining distributions among all members (including the preferred, common, and Class C unitholders on a pro-rata basis) to each unit outstanding with allocations up to the strike price of vested and unvested unit awards being paid back first, as a priority allocation, to the preferred and common unitholders that did not receive such units as stock based compensation awards. If unpaid amounts exist at a period end they are paid out of the following year or in a liquidation event under tier three above.

Certain of the loans serviced by the Company are subserviced on the Company’s behalf by other mortgage loan servicers. Loans are subserviced for the Company when the loans are secured by property in the State of Massachusetts where the Company is not licensed and a license is required to perform such services, or on a transitional basis for loans where the Company has obtained the rights to service the loans but servicing of the loans has not yet transferred to the Company’s servicing system.

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk for the commitments it makes to purchase or originate mortgage loans at specified interest rates (interest rate lock commitments or “IRLCs”), its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. The Company has elected to net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained (or posted) by (or for) its counterparties when subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. In the event of default, all counterparties are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.

 

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was not party to reverse repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions that are required to be disclosed in the following table.

Note 7—Fair Value

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated fair values. The application of fair value estimates may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

 

Fair Value Accounting Elections

 

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets and its originated MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% to be accounted for at estimated fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in results of operations as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. The Company’s financial assets subject to this election include the short-term investments and mortgage loans held for sale.

 

For originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5%, management has concluded that such assets present different risks to the Company than originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Management’s risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at mainly moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ values. Management has identified these assets for accounting using the amortization method. Management’s risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are aimed at mainly moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values. During the period, a portion of the IRLCs, the fair value of which typically increases when prepayment speeds increase, were used to mitigate the effect of changes in fair value of the servicing assets, which typically decreases as prepayment speeds increase.

The Company evaluates its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value for impairment with reference to the assets’ fair values. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into note rate pools of 50 basis points for fixed-rate mortgage loans with note rates between 3% and 4.5% and a single pool for mortgage loans with note rates below 3%. MSRs relating to adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the note rate pools is below the carrying value of the MSRs for that pool reduced by any existing valuation allowance, those MSRs are impaired.

 

When MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current period income and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted using a valuation allowance. If the value of the MSRs subsequently increases, the increase in value is recognized in current period income only to the extent of the valuation allowance.

 

Management periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover. When management concludes that recovery of the value is unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that note rate pool to its estimated fair value is charged to the valuation allowance.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

 

The Company’s Cash as well as its Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase, Note payable, Carried Interest due from Investment Funds, and amounts receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities are carried at cost.

 

Cash is measured using “Level 1” inputs. The Company’s borrowings carried at amortized cost do not have active markets or observable inputs and the fair value is measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value.

 

Management has concluded that the carrying value of the Carried Interest due from Investment Funds approximates its fair value as the balance represents the amount distributable to the Company at the balance sheet date assuming liquidation of the Investment Funds. Management has concluded that the estimated fair value of the Note payable approximates the agreements’ carrying value due to the agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates.

 

The Company also carries the receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities at cost. Management has concluded that the estimated fair value of such balances approximates the carrying value due to the short terms of such balances.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

 

Most of the Company’s financial assets are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of the Company’s financial assets are “Level 3” financial statement items which require the use of significant unobservable inputs in the estimation of the assets’ values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

 

The Company has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items to a valuation group and has developed procedures and controls governing the valuation process relating to these assets. The estimation of fair values of the Company’s financial assets are assigned to its Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”), which is responsible for valuing and monitoring the Company’s investment portfolios and maintenance of its valuation policies and procedures.

 

The FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The valuation committee includes the Company’s chief executive, financial, investment and credit officers. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” financial statement items, including the models’ performance versus actual results and reports those results to the valuation committee. The results developed in the FAV group’s monitoring activities are used to calibrate subsequent projections used for valuation.

 

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Company’s senior management valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the portfolio, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and assumptions. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of each of the changes to the significant inputs to the models.

 

The following describes the methods used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value financial statement items:

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

 

Most of the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent.

 

Certain of the Company’s mortgage loans may become non-saleable due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase of a mortgage loan with an identified defect. Such loans are generally not saleable into active mortgage markets and are therefore classified as “Level 3” financial statement items. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “non-saleable” mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

 

The Company did not hold “Level 3” Mortgage loans held for sale before the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of “Level 3” mortgage loans held for sale at fair value:

(1)  Prepayment speed is measured using life voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). CPR represents the percentage of the remaining unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) that is expected to be prepaid in excess of the scheduled amortization of principal.

(2)  Total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR.

 

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are measured by the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status at period-end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased as a percentage of the commitment it has made (the “pull-through rate”).

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in a significant change in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these assumptions are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but increase the pull-through rate for loans that have decreased in fair value in comparison to the agreed-upon purchase price.

 

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell loans based on quoted MBS prices. The Company estimates the fair value of the MBS options and futures it purchases and sells based on observed interest rate volatilities in the MBS market. The Company estimates the fair value of its MBS interest rate swaptions based on quoted market prices.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of value. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment and default rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate, and cost to service loans. The results of the estimates of fair value of MSRs are reported to the Company’s senior management valuation committee as part of their review and approval of monthly valuation results. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in the consolidated statements of income under the caption Net servicing income — Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

(1)         Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of loans and purchased MSRs not backed by pools of distressed mortgage loans.

Note 9—Derivative Instruments

 

The Company is exposed to price risk relative to its mortgage loans held for sale as well as to its IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time a commitment to purchase or originate a loan is made to PMT or a loan applicant to the time the mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss in value of its commitments to originate or purchase mortgage loans held for sale when mortgage rates increase. The Company is exposed to risk relative to the fair value of its MSRs. The Company is exposed to loss in value of its MSRs when interest rates decrease.

 

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. To manage this price risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and MSRs. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities.

 

The Company had the following derivative financial instruments recorded on its consolidated balance sheets:

The amount of the Carried Interest received by the Company depends on the Investment Funds’ future performance. As a result, the amount of Carried Interest recorded by the Company at period end is subject to adjustment based on future results of the Investment Funds and may be reduced in future periods. However, the Company is not required to pay guaranteed returns to the Investment Funds and the amount of Carried Interest will only be reduced to the extent of amounts previously recognized.

 

Management expects the Carried Interest to be collected by the Company when the Investment Funds liquidate. The investment period for the Investment Funds ended on December 31, 2011. The Investment Funds will continue in existence through December 31, 2016, subject to three one-year extensions by PCM at its discretion as specified in the limited liability company and limited partnership agreements that govern the Investment Funds.

Note 13—Borrowings

 

The Company maintains four borrowing facilities: three facilities that provide for sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase; and one note payable secured by MSRs and servicing advances made on loans in the Company’s loan servicing portfolio.

 

Mortgage Loans Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

 

The borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans held for sale are in the form of loan sale and repurchase agreements. Eligible loans are sold under advance rates based on the loan type. Interest is charged at a rate based on the buyer’s overnight cost-of funds rate for one agreement and based on the LIBOR for the other two agreements. Loans sold under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the mortgage loans securing those agreements decreases. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.6 million on deposit with its mortgage loan repurchase agreement counterparties.

The note payable matures on the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination. Interest is charged at a rate based on the lender’s overnight cost of funds. The note payable is secured by servicing advances and MSRs relating to certain loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio, and provides for advance rates ranging from 50% to 85% of the amount of the servicing advances or the carrying value of the MSR pledged, up to a maximum of $17 million in the case of servicing advances and $100 million in the case of MSRs.

 

The borrowing facilities contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to equity ratio, profitability and liquidity. Management believes the Company was in compliance with these requirements as of March 31, 2013.

 

Note 14—Liability for Representations and Warranties

 

The Company’s agreements with the Agencies include representations and warranties related to the loans the Company sells to those Agencies. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

 

In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, the Company may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it has to correspondent lenders that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to the Company and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related credit losses from that correspondent lender.

 

The Company records a provision for losses relating to the representations and warranties it makes as part of its loan sale transactions. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates and the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller.

 

The Company establishes a liability at the time loans are sold and continually updates its liability estimate.

The level of the liability for representations and warranties requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors (including unemployment levels and trends, and housing price levels and trends), investor reviews of recently sold mortgage loans and repurchase demand strategies relating to defaulted mortgage loans, and other external conditions that will change over the lives of the underlying loans. The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, management believes that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by the Company to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. Management believes the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Note 15—Members’ Equity

 

Subscriptions receivable are amounts due from certain members who are holders of preferred units, and earn interest at rates of either 4% or 8% annually.

 

The Company made tax distributions of $9,476,000 to its unitholders relating to the Company’s taxable income allocated to the respective unitholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Note 17—Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has three equity based compensation plans:

 

·                  A common equity compensation plan by which it may award up to 15% of its total equity in the form of common units to key members of the Company’s management. Common units are subordinate to the Company’s preferred units. The common units vest over a three-or four-year period. Vesting of four-year awards starts on the grantees’ date of hire and awards are 25% vested on the second anniversary, 50% on the third anniversary, and 100% on the fourth anniversary. Vesting of three-year awards begins on the award date. The common units have a strike price equal to zero on the date of grant.

2011 Incentive Plan

 

The terms and conditions of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 unit awards”) were communicated to employees and key members of management of the Company during 2012. The 2011 unit awards are subject to the participation preferences and other rights of the Preferred Units and Common Units as described in Note 4 along with performance metrics established for the 2012 vesting period in accordance with the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan agreement. The service period for these awards precedes the Grant date which is expected to be prior to the completion of PFSI’s IPO. At each reporting period during the service period, the Partnership assessed the probability that the performance metrics would be achieved and the 2011 unit awards would become eligible to vest. These performance metrics became probable of being achieved during 2012 and the Company recorded expense relating to the estimated fair values of the unit awards over the service period.

 

The following is the activity for the 2011 unit awards:

The Class C Unit and Common Unit awards contain certain repurchase provisions which could result in an award being settled in cash at the option of the Company alone, in the event of certain types of termination scenarios. The Company established a policy that settlement will not occur until the point in time where the unitholder has borne sufficient risks and rewards of equity ownership, assumed as six months and one day post vesting.

 

Valuation of Stock Based Compensation Awards

 

The valuation of stock based compensation awards was estimated using the income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, and the market approach to determine the value of the Company. The discounted cash flow analysis was developed based on the Company’s forecasts. The market approach was developed by applying market multiples of comparable peer companies in the Company’s industry or similar lines of business. The values determined by the income and the market approach were combined by weighting the income and market approaches equally. The primary assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the Company using the discounted cash flow method were the discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, and growth rate assumptions.

The Company is required to maintain specified levels of members’ equity to remain a seller/servicer in good standing with the Agencies. Such equity requirements generally are tied to the size of the Company’s servicing portfolio or loan origination volume. Noncompliance with the respective agencies’ capital requirements can result in the respective Agency taking various remedial actions up to and including removing the Company’s ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the respective Agency. Management believes that the Company had Agency capital in excess of the respective Agencies’ requirements at March 31, 2013.

Examination of Federal Income Tax Filings

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service was conducting an examination of the Company’s federal income tax filings for the tax year ended December 31, 2010. In March 2013, the IRS examination team concluded their audit of the Company’s federal income tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2010 and proposed no changes to the return as originally filed. No other federal or state examination was in progress as of March 31, 2013.

 

Litigation

 

The business of the Company involves the collection of numerous accounts as well as the validity of liens and compliance with various state and federal lending and servicing laws; as such the Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2013, there were no material current or pending claims against the Company.

 

Note 21—Segments and Related Information

 

The Company has two business segments: mortgage banking and investment management.

 

The mortgage banking segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at servicing mortgage loans sourced and managed by the investment management segment, including executing the loan resolution strategy identified by the investment management segment, and originating, purchasing, selling and servicing newly originated mortgage loans.

 

The investment management segment represents the activities of the Company’s investment manager, which include sourcing, performing diligence, bidding and completion of asset acquisitions and managing the acquired assets for the Advised Entities.

 

The investment management segment presently focuses on managing investments in distressed mortgage assets, which include mortgage loans that are either in default or are perceived to be at higher risk of default. The investment management segment then seeks to maximize the value of the mortgage loans on behalf of investors through the direction of effective “high touch” servicing by the mortgage banking segment. “High touch” servicing is based on significant levels of borrower outreach and contact, and the ability to implement long-term, sustainable loan modification and restructuring programs that address borrowers’ ability and willingness to pay their mortgage loans. Where this is not possible, the investment management segment seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner for the investor.

Note 22—Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated all events and transactions through the date the Company issued these consolidated financial statements. During this period:

 

·                  On May 3, 2013, the Company amended and restated its master repurchase agreement, by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital, LLC, PLS and the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated master repurchase agreement, the parties increased the maximum committed purchase price from $150 million to $300 million and extended the maturity date to the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination.  The master repurchase agreement, as amended and restated, remains the same in all other material respects.

 

·                  In connection with the IPO by PSFI of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, covered by the final prospectus, dated May 8, 2013 and included as part of the Registration Statement, PFSI and the Company consummated a recapitalization (“Recapitalization”). Under the terms of the Recapitalization, PFSI, the Company and the existing unitholders of the Company entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated May 8, 2013 (the “LLC Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, PFSI became the sole managing member of the Company and the capital structure of the Company was modified by converting all existing classes of units into new Class A units. The allocation of Class A units among the Company’s existing owners was determined pursuant to the distribution provisions of its former limited liability company agreement based upon the liquidation value of the Company, assuming it was liquidated at the time of the IPO of Class A Common Stock with a value implied by the IPO of the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO.

 

Also in connection with the Recapitalization, on May 8, 2013, PSFI entered into: (i) an exchange agreement with the Company and the then-existing unitholders of the Company; (ii) a tax receivable agreement with the Company and the then-existing unitholders of the Company; (iii) a registration rights agreement with the then-existing unitholders of the Company and (iv) separate stockholder agreements with each of BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC and HC Partners LLP, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments LLC.

 

·                  On May 8, 2013, PFSI’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and PFSI’s Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective. PFSI is authorized to issue 210.0 million shares consisting of 10.0 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 200.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock, and 1,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

 

·                  On May 14, 2013, PFSI completed its IPO by issuing approximately 12.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock for cash consideration of $16.875 per share (net of underwriting discounts) to a syndicate of underwriters led by Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as joint book-running managers for the offering. Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as co-managers. PFSI’s net proceeds from the offering were approximately $215.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. As contemplated in the Registration Statement, PSFI used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase approximately 12.8 million newly issued Class A units of the Company at a price per Class A unit of $16.875.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the final prospectus of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. dated May 8, 2013 included as part of its Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (SEC File No. 333-186495) (the “Registration Statement”).

 

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of a number of factors, including those described in “Factors that May Affect Our Future Results” and the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus included as part of its Registration Statement, as well as its consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and its other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”).

 

Initial Public Offering and Recapitalization

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) has not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares. On May 14, 2013, PFSI completed an IPO in which it sold approximately 12.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), which includes approximately 1.7 million shares sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an over-allotment option, for cash consideration of $16.875 per share (net of underwriting discounts) to a syndicate of underwriters.

 

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the limited liability company agreement of PennyMac was amended and restated to, among other things, modify its capital structure by converting the different classes of interests held by its existing unitholders into New Holdings Units. PennyMac and its existing unitholders also entered into an exchange agreement under which (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) they will have the right to exchange their New Holdings Units for shares of our Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and certain other transactions that would cause the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock to be different than the number of New Holdings Units that PFSI owns.

 

With the net proceeds from the IPO, PFSI purchased the New Holdings Units of PennyMac and became its sole managing member. PFSI operates and controls all of the business and affairs and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac.

 

As part of the IPO, PFSI entered into a tax receivable agreement with the then-existing unitholders of PennyMac that provides for its payment to such owners of 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that PFSI is deemed to realize under certain circumstances as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of New Holdings Units and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to its entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

 

Our Company

 

We are a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans and the management of investments related to the U.S. residential mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and our management’s deep experience across all aspects of the mortgage business will allow us to profitably grow these activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.

Table of Contents

 

We were founded in 2008 by members of our executive leadership team and two strategic partners, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC, together with its affiliates, “BlackRock,” and HC Partners LLC, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments LLC, together with its affiliates, “Highfields.”

 

We conduct our business in two segments: mortgage banking and investment management. Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, or PLS, is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States.  Our principal investment management subsidiary, PNMAC Capital Management, LLC, or PCM, is an SEC registered investment adviser. It manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, or PMT, a mortgage real estate investment trust, or REIT, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. PCM also manages PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, both registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our “Investment Funds” and, together with PMT, as our “Advised Entities.”

 

Mortgage Banking

 

Our mortgage banking segment is comprised of three primary businesses: correspondent lending, retail lending, and loan servicing.

 

·                  Correspondent Lending. Our correspondent lending business manages, on behalf of PMT and for our own account, the acquisition of newly originated, prime credit quality, first-lien residential mortgage loans that have been underwritten to investor guidelines. PMT acquires, from approved correspondent sellers, newly originated loans, primarily “conventional” residential mortgage loans guaranteed by the GSEs and “government-insured” residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the VA and eligible to back securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. For conventional loans, we perform fulfillment activities for PMT and earn a fee for each loan purchased by PMT. In the case of government-insured loans, we purchase them from PMT at PMT’s cost plus a sourcing fee and fulfill them for our own account.

 

·                  Retail Lending. Our retail lending business originates new prime credit quality, first-lien residential conventional and government-insured mortgage loans on a national basis to allow customers to purchase or refinance their homes. We conduct this business through a consumer direct model, which relies on the Internet and call center-based staff to acquire and interact with customers across the country. We do not have a “brick and mortar” branch network and have been developing our consumer direct operations with call centers strategically positioned across the United States.

 

·                  Loan Servicing. Our loan servicing business performs loan administration, collection, and default activities, including the collection and remittance of loan payments; response to customer inquiries; accounting for principal and interest; holding custodial (impound) funds for the payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions. We service a diverse portfolio of loans both as the owner of MSRs and on behalf of other MSR or mortgage owners. We provide prime servicing for conventional and government-insured loans, as well as special servicing for distressed whole loans that have been acquired as investments by our Advised Entities, and loans in “private-label” MBS securities, which are securities issued by institutions that are not affiliated with any Agency.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we managed PMT’s acquisition of approximately $5.5 billion in unpaid principal balance of newly originated, prime credit quality, first-lien residential mortgage loans.  We purchased, for our own account, approximately $3.4 billion in unpaid principal balance of government-insured loans of the $3.7 billion PMT acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We also originated $268.1 million of residential mortgage loans through our retail channel during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we increased our portfolio of loans that we serviced or subserviced from approximately $28.2 billion at December 31, 2012 to approximately $36.2 billion at March 31, 2013.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we managed PMT’s acquisition of approximately $1.2 billion in unpaid principal balance of newly originated, prime credit quality, first-lien residential mortgage loans, of which we purchased $799.0 million in unpaid principal balance of government-insured loans from PMT for our own account. We also originated $61.9 million of residential mortgage loans through our retail channel during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and increased our portfolio of loans that we serviced or subserviced from approximately $7.7 billion at December 31, 2011 to approximately $9.2 billion at March 31, 2012.

Investment Management

 

We are an investment manager through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PCM. PCM currently manages PMT and the Investment Funds, which had combined net assets of approximately $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2013. For these activities, we earn management fees as a percentage of net assets and incentive compensation based on investment performance.

 

Observations on Current Market Opportunities

 

Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including economic growth, unemployment rates, the residential housing market and interest rate levels and expectations.  The U.S. economy continues its pattern of modest growth as reflected in recent economic data. During the first quarter of 2013, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 2.5% compared to a revised 2.0% and 0.4% annual rates for both the first and fourth quarters of 2012, respectively. Modest economic growth and pressure on state and federal government spending continued to affect unemployment rates during the first quarter of 2013. The national unemployment rate was 7.6% at March 31, 2013 and compared to a revised seasonally adjusted rate of 8.2% at March 31, 2012 and 7.8% at December 31, 2012. Declining unemployment is partially reflective of a declining workforce labor participation rate. Delinquency rates on single family residential mortgage loans linger at historically high rates. As reported by the Federal Reserve, during the fourth quarter of 2012, charge-off and delinquency rates on loans and leases at commercial banks were 10.07%, an improvement from 10.30% during the first quarter of 2012.

 

Residential real estate activity appears to be modestly improving. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for March 2013 was 10.3% higher than for March 2012 and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $184,300, an 11.8% increase from March 2012. On a national level, foreclosure filings during the first quarter of 2013 decreased 12% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and 23% as compared to the first quarter of 2012, representing the ninth consecutive quarter with an annual decrease in foreclosure activity. A previously expected increase in foreclosure activity at the national level as lenders resolve their operational issues relating to the foreclosure of delinquent loans has not yet materialized, however it is anticipated that foreclosure activity within select markets may increase during the remainder of 2013 and beyond.

 

Thirty-year fixed rate mortgage interest rates ranged from a high of 3.57% to a low of 3.41% during the first quarter of 2013 (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey). During the first quarter of 2012, interest rates for the thirty-year fixed rate mortgage ranged from a high of 3.95% to a low of 3.89%.

 

Total mortgage originations in the first quarter of 2013 were approximately $500 billion, an increase of 19.0% compared to originations of $420 billion during the first quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 4.8% compared to originations of $525 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012 (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance).

 

In our capacity as an investment manager, we continue to see substantial volumes of distressed residential mortgage loan sales (sales of loan pools that consist of either nonperforming loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale by a limited number of sellers. During the first quarter of 2013, we reviewed 27 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $5.7 billion. This compares to our review of 25 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $4.9 billion during the first quarter of 2012. We managed the acquisition, on behalf of PMT, of distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $200.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and none during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

In recent periods, we have seen increased competition from new and existing market participants in both our correspondent lending and retail origination businesses, as well as reductions in the overall level of refinancing activity. We believe that this change in supply and demand within the marketplace has been driving lower production margins in recent periods, which will be reflected in our results of operations in our gains on mortgage loans held for sale. Although margins on gains from mortgage loans held for sale benefitted from wider secondary spreads (the difference between interest rates charged to borrowers and yields on mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market) early in the fourth quarter of 2012, margins narrowed as the quarter progressed and into the first quarter of 2013. While production margins remained elevated from a historical perspective during the first quarter of 2013, we expect them to continue to normalize toward their long-term averages in 2013.

Comparison of the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Net income increased by approximately $40.1 million or 263% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net income primarily reflects growth in the Company’s mortgage banking operations. Loan purchase volume increased by approximately $2.9 billion or 324% in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the Company’s loan servicing portfolio grew by approximately $26.9 billion or 292% from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. This growth was supplemented by growth in the Company’s investment management segment due to an increase of $2.9 million or 165% in Carried Interest income and $4.2 million or 100% in management fees, reflecting an increase of approximately $552.9 million or 45% in net assets under management and the recognition of incentive fees relating to the Company’s management of PMT. These increases were partly offset by increases in expenses of approximately $26.7 million or 113% incurred to accommodate our growth.

 

Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value increased $26.0 million from $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $40.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in the volume of mortgage loans that we purchased and originated and subsequently sold during 2013 as compared to 2012. The net gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 included $10.3 million in fair value of MSRs received as part of proceeds on sales. The net gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included $41.7 million in fair value of MSRs received as part of proceeds on sales.

Loan origination fees increased $5.5 million from $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in the volume of loans produced.

 

Loan fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with its acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans purchased.  The increase of $22.1 million in the fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is due to the substantial growth in the volume of Agency-eligible and jumbo mortgage loans PMT purchased in its correspondent lending activities.

 

Total loan servicing fees increased $9.2 million from $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $21.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to an increase of $3.5 million in loan servicing fees from PMT due to growth in the volume of loans we subservice for PMT, an increase of $6.2 million in loan servicing fees from non-affiliates due to growth in our portfolio of loans serviced as a result of our increasing sales of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained and an increase of $875,000 in ancillary fees due to growth in the portfolios of mortgage loans serviced, partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing fees from the Investment Funds of $1.5 million. This decrease was due to the decrease in the principal balance in the Investment Funds’ mortgage loan portfolios as these portfolios liquidate following the end of the related commitment periods on December 31, 2011.

Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased $4.8 million from $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in our investment in MSRs which increases the level of assets subject to amortization, along with reduced valuation gains during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and recognition of approximately $1.3 million in hedging losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. No hedging activities were undertaken during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

Management fees from PMT increased $4.7 million from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to increases in PMT’s shareholders’ equity upon which its management fee is based along with incentive fees of $2.1 million recognized as a result of an amendment to our management agreement with PMT effective February 1, 2013, which changed the basis on which profitability is measured for incentive fee purposes. Management fees from the Investment Funds decreased $475,000 from $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was due to decreases in the Investment Funds’ net asset values as a result of continued distributions to the funds’ investors following the end of the Investment Funds’ commitment periods at December 31, 2011, which reduced the investment base on which the management fees are computed.

 

Carried Interest from Investment Funds increased $2.9 million from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to valuation gains in the Investment Funds’ loan portfolios as a result of increases in demand for distressed mortgage loans, change in the value of the loans as they proceed through the resolution process and continuing increases in collateral valuations for the properties underlying the Funds’ loans.

 

Interest income increased $1.3 million from $431,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to the increase in our average inventory of mortgage loans held for sale as a result of the growth in our loan production activities, and primarily relates to the interest that we earned on mortgage loans during the period for which we held the loans pending sale.

 

Change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT decreased $107,000 from $195,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $88,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a $109,000 decrease in the appreciation in value of our investment in common shares of PMT. During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we held 75,000 common shares of PMT.

Compensation expense increased $16.9 million from $18.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $35.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to the development of and growth in our mortgage banking segment as well as growth in the level of assets serviced for PMT.

Interest expense increased $2.3 million from $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in interest expense reflects increases in borrowings incurred to finance the growth of our loan production activities and, to a lesser extent, to finance our servicing advances and a portion of our MSRs.

 

Professional services expense increased $1.1 million from $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in the size of our operations.

 

Technology expense increased $604,000 from $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in the size of our operations.

 

Servicing expense increased $553,000 from $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in our mortgage servicing portfolio.

 

Loan origination expense increased $2.3 million from $171,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in our loan origination volume and to changes in our fee structure which resulted in many of our fees being charged to correspondent lenders on an other-than pass-through basis. As a result of this change in structure, we recognized both the fee income and expense during 2013 as compared to “passing through” these items on a net basis during 2012.

 

Occupancy expense increased $108,000 from $383,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $491,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to growth in the size of our operations.

 

Other expense increased $2.8 million from $160,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in the size of our operations.

 

Expenses Allocated to PMT

 

PMT reimburses us for other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on its behalf by us, in accordance with the terms of our management agreement.  Expense amounts allocated to PMT during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below:

The amount of total expenses that we allocated to PMT increased $1.9 million from $357,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to growth in our overhead expenses, along with an increase of PMT’s assets in relation to the total assets that we manage, resulting in a larger portion of our overhead expenses being allocated to PMT.

Comparison of balance sheet data as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

 

Total assets decreased $139.2 million from $832.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $693.0 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $244.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale at fair value due to sales of loans to investors in excess of the volume of mortgage loans that we originated or purchased, resulting in a decreased inventory of mortgage loans at period end, partially offset by an increase of $38.0 million in mortgage servicing rights due to growth in the volume of mortgage loans that we sold with servicing rights retained, resulting in an increase in our investment in MSRs. The volume of mortgage loans that we purchase from PMT is dependent on the volume of loans that PMT purchases from correspondent lenders and the timing of our purchases of such loans from PMT.

 

Total liabilities decreased by $185.2 million from $570.4 million as of December 31, 2012 to $385.2 million as of March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in borrowings of $203.1 million, resulting from a decline in mortgage loans held for sale.

 

Cash Flows

 

Comparison of Quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash of $43.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The positive cash flows arose primarily due to growth in our operations. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $272.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The cash flows were primarily due to the reductions in our mortgage loan inventory as cash proceeds from loan sales exceeded originations and purchases of loans by $244.6 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $(15.9) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This use of cash reflects an increase in short-term investments offset by the cash inflow from margin deposits and a decrease in restricted cash.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $212.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repurchases of loans sold under agreements to repurchase exceeding sale of loans under agreements to repurchase by $213.5 million and reflects reduced financing requirements as the result of our reduced level of inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at March 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, earnings on our investments and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

 

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent and appropriate. Our borrowing activities are in the form of sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase, and a note payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and servicing advances.

 

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of mortgage loans together with agreements for us to buy back the mortgage loans at a later date. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase mortgage loans totaled $275.1 million, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $479.9 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase mortgage loans totaled $65.0 million, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $159.5 million.

 

The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding was due to increases in the sizes and utilization of our existing facilities and our entry into a new credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, all in support of the growth in our mortgage loan production, investments and correspondent lending activities.

 

All of our borrowings discussed above have short-term maturities. The transactions relating to mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase mature between June 25, 2013 and the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination, and provide for the repurchase from major financial institution counterparties based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans sold. Our note payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and loan servicing advances at fair value has a maturity date that is the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination.

 

PLS’s debt financing agreements require it to comply with various financial covenants. The most significant covenants currently include the following:

 

·                  positive net income during each calendar quarter;

 

·                  a minimum of $20 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents;

 

·                  a minimum tangible net worth of $90 million;

 

·                  a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 10:1; and

 

·                  at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements.

 

Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.

 

With respect to servicing that we perform for the Advised Entities, we are also subject to certain covenants under their respective debt agreements. These covenants are similar to those above, with the additional covenant that we must maintain a minimum servicing portfolio of $5 billion in UPB.

 

Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

We continue to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit and additional repurchase agreements. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

 

As of March 31, 2013, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had on-balance sheet contractual obligations of $180.0 million to finance assets under agreements to repurchase with maturities between June 25, 2013 and January 2, 2014. On May 3, 2013, we amended and restated one of our master repurchase agreements and extended the maturity date to the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination. We also had a contractual obligation of $63.4 million relating to a note payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and loan servicing advances at fair value and with a maturity date that is the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any particular date of determination. We also lease our primary office facilities under an agreement that expires on February 28, 2017 and we license certain software to support our loan servicing operations.

(1)                                 Software licenses include both volume and activity-based fees that are dependent on the number of loans serviced during each period and include a base fee of approximately $452,000 per year. Estimated payments for software licenses above are based on the number of loans currently serviced by us, which totaled approximately 157,000 at March 31, 2013. Future amounts due may significantly fluctuate based on changes in the number of loans serviced by us. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, software license fees totaled $2.8 million. All figures contained in this footnote are in actual amounts and not in thousands (in contrast to the table above).

Debt Obligations

 

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through borrowings with major financial institution counterparties in the form of sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase, and a note payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and loan servicing advances at fair value. The borrower under each of these facilities is PLS, and all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC.

 

Under the terms of these agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

 

The agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

 

In addition, the agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks to which we are exposed are credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk.

 

Credit Risk

 

We are subject to credit risk in connection with our loan sales activities. Our loan sales are generally made with contractual representations and warranties, which, if breached, can require us to repurchase the mortgage loan or reimburse the investor for any losses incurred because of that breach. These breaches are generally evidenced when the borrower defaults on a loan. The amount of our liability for losses due to representations and warranties to the loans’ investors is not limited. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. We include a provision for potential losses due to recourse as part of our recognition of loan sales, based initially on our estimate of the fair value of such obligation. We review our loss experience relating to representations and warranties and adjust our liability estimate when necessary. We believe that residual loan credit quality is primarily determined by the borrowers’ credit profiles and loan characteristics.

 

54



Table of Contents

 

In the event of developments affecting the credit performance of loans we have sold subject to representations and warranties, such as a significant increase in unemployment or a significant deterioration in real estate values in markets where properties securing mortgage loans we purchase are located, defaults could increase and result in credit losses arising from claims under our representations and warranties, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates affect both the fair value of, and interest income we earn from, our mortgage-related investments. This effect is most pronounced with fixed-rate mortgage assets. In general, rising interest rates negatively affect the fair value of our interest rate lock agreements and inventory of mortgage loans held for sale.

 

Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income from our investments and our financing costs. Presently our debt financing is based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over the relevant index, as determined by the particular financing arrangement.

 

We engage in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of income caused by changes in interest rates. To manage this price risk resulting from interest rate risk, we use derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of our interest rate lock commitments and inventory of mortgage loans held for sale. We do not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of our risk management activities.

 

Prepayment Risk

 

To the extent that the actual prepayment rate on the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs differs from what we projected when we initially recognized the MSRs and when we measured fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of our investment in MSRs will be affected. In general, an increase in prepayment expectations will accelerate the amortization of our MSRs accounted for using the amortization method and decrease our estimates of the fair value of both the MSRs accounted for using the amortization method and those accounted for using the fair value method, thereby reducing net servicing income.

 

Inflation Risk

 

Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors will influence our performance more than inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Furthermore, our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and any distributions that Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC may make to its members will be determined by us as the managing member of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC based primarily on our taxable income and, in each case, our activities and balance sheet are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair value without considering inflation.

 

Market Value Risk

 

Our mortgage loans held for sale are reported at their estimated fair values. The fair value of these assets fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates.

 

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were (i) performed at a particular point in time, (ii) only contemplate certain movements in interest rates, (iii) do not incorporate changes in interest rate volatility or changes in the relationship of one interest rate index to another, (iv) are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used, including prepayment forecasts and discount rates, and (v) do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:

 

·      Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

 

·      Descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services;

 

57



Table of Contents

 

·      Forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets; and

 

·      Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.

 

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and as set forth in Item IA. of Part II hereof and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on May 8, 2013 with the SEC in connection with our initial public offering.

 

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:

 

·      The continually changing federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to the highly regulated industry in which we operate;

 

·      Lawsuits or governmental actions if we do not comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses;

 

·      The creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, its recently issued and future rules and the enforcement thereof by the CFPB;

 

·      Changes in existing U.S. government-sponsored entities, their current roles or their guarantees or guidelines;

 

·      Changes to government mortgage modification programs;

 

·      The licensing and operational requirements of states and other jurisdictions applicable to our businesses, to which our bank competitors are not subject;

 

·      Foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices;

 

·      Certain banking regulations that may limit our business activities;

 

·      Changes in macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions;

 

·      Difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

 

·      Changes in prevailing interest rates;

 

·      Increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

 

·      Our reliance on PMT as a significant source of financing for, and revenue related to, our correspondent lending business;

 

·      Any required additional capital and liquidity to support business growth that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all;

 

·      Our obligation to indemnify third-party purchasers or repurchase loans if loans that we originate, acquire or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2013. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of March 31, 2013, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  No matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On May 8, 2013, the SEC declared effective PFSI’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-186495) (the “Registration Statement”), relating to its underwritten initial public offering of up to 12,777,777 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, including up to 1,666,666 shares issuable pursuant to an overallotment option granted to the underwriters.

 

In connection with the initial public offering, PFSI and PennyMac consummated a recapitalization (“Recapitalization”), pursuant to which PennyMac and its existing unitholders entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated May 8, 2013.  As a result of the Recapitalization, PFSI became the sole managing member of PennyMac and the capital structure of PennyMac was modified by converting all existing classes of units into new Class A units.  The allocation of Class A units among PennyMac’s existing owners was determined pursuant to the distribution provisions of its former limited liability company agreement based upon the liquidation value of PennyMac, assuming it was liquidated at the time of the initial public offering of Class A Common Stock with a value implied by the initial public offering price of the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in PFSI’s initial public offering.

The initial public offering of PFSI Class A Common Stock commenced as of May 8, 2013 after the Registration statement was declared effective, and did not terminate before all of the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement were sold.  On May 14, 2013, PFSI completed the initial public offering of all such shares at a price to the public of $18.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to PFSI of approximately $215.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions to be approximately $14.4 million.  The syndicate of underwriters was led by Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as co-managers.  No payments were made by PFSI to directors, officers, general partners of PFSI or their associates, to persons owning ten percent or more of its Class A Common Stock, or to affiliates of PFSI.

 

Upon the completion of the initial public offering and as contemplated in the Registration Statement, PSFI used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase 12,777,777 million newly issued Class A units of PennyMac at a price per Class A unit of $16.875. There has been no material change in the planned use by PennyMac of these proceeds as described in PFSI’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
