SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains certain forward‑looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. 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;

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 the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2015 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.

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 mortgage lending and servicing-related regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and its enforcement of these regulations;

our dependence on U.S. government sponsored entities and changes in 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;

our dependence on the multi-family and commercial real estate sectors for future originations and investments in commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate related loans;

changes in macroeconomic and U.S. real estate market conditions;

difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

difficulties inherent in adjusting the size of our operations to reflect changes in business levels;

purchase opportunities for mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and our success in winning bids;

Table of Contents

changes in prevailing interest rates;

increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

our reliance on PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) as a significant source of financing for, and revenue related to, our mortgage banking 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, service or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

our obligation to indemnify PMT and certain investment funds if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

decreases in the historical returns on the assets that we select and manage for our clients, and our resulting management and incentive fees;

the extensive amount of regulation applicable to our investment management segment;

conflicts of interest in allocating our services and investment opportunities among ourselves and certain advised entities;

the effect of public opinion on our reputation;

our recent growth;

our ability to effectively identify, manage, monitor and mitigate financial risks;

our initiation of new business activities or expansion of existing business activities;

our ability to detect misconduct and fraud; and

our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents.

Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 31, 2012. Pursuant to a reorganization, the Company became a holding corporation and its primary 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 consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its subsidiaries.

PennyMac is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries, engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PennyMac’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential mortgage loan production (including correspondent production and consumer direct lending) and mortgage loan servicing. PennyMac’s investment management activities and a portion of its 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 adviser 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.

Together, the Investment Funds and PMT are referred to as the “Advised Entities.”

PLS is a licensed Federal Housing Administration Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and a lender/servicer with the Veterans Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2015. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Table of Contents

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Reclassification of previously presented balances

In April of 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, InterestImputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.

ASU 2015-03 specifies that its adoption be made on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified its debt issuance costs from Other assets as previously presented to Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase and Mortgage loan participation and sale agreement to conform its December 31, 2014 balance sheet to the current presentation. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not result in changes to the Company’s previously presented consolidated statements of income or consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company is a party to a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2015, pursuant to which it finances certain of its mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and servicing advance receivables with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). On April 30, 2015, the Company amended and restated the Loan and Security Agreement to increase the maximum loan amount thereunder to $407 million, a $150 million increase for the purpose of facilitating the financing of the related excess servicing spread (“ESS”) by PMT.

In connection with the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company and PMT entered into an underlying loan and security agreement, dated as of April 30, 2015, pursuant to which PMT may borrow up to $150 million from the Company for the purpose of financing ESS. The principal amount of the borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement is based upon a percentage of the fair value of the ESS pledged by PMT, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the underlying loan and security agreement, PMT granted to the Company a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure loans. The portion of the loan amount outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement and relating to advances outstanding with PMT under the underlying loan and security agreement is guaranteed in full by PMT.

The Company and PMT have agreed that PMT is required to repay the Company the principal amount of such borrowings plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment, and the Company is required to repay CSFB the corresponding amount under the Loan and Security Agreement. Interest accrues under the underlying loan and security agreement at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds. PMT was also required to pay the Company a fee for the structuring of the Loan and Security Agreement in an amount equal to the portion of the corresponding fee paid by the Company to CSFB under the Loan and Security Agreement and allocable to the $150.0 million relating to the ESS financing.

As of September 30, 2015, $150.0 million of principal was outstanding and included in Note receivable from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trustsecured on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share of common stock is determined using net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is determined by dividing diluted net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares of common stock were issued.

The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average shares of common stock represented by the non-vested unit-based and stock-based compensation awards. The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the exchange of these PennyMac Class A units for shares of common stock. Accordingly, earnings attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is also adjusted to include the earnings allocated to the PennyMac Class A units after taking into account the income taxes applicable to the shares of common stock assumed to be exchanged.

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk for the interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) it makes to purchase or originate mortgage loans at specified interest rates, its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and MSRs. The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from (or posted to) its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.

Following are summaries of derivative assets and related netting amounts.

Note 7—Fair Value

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their fair values. The application of fair value 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 fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets, its originated MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and purchased MSRs subject to ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. Management has also elected to account for its ESS financing at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk.

The Company’s subsequent accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. Originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% are accounted for using the amortization method. Originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and purchased MSRs subject to ESS financing are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period income.

The information used in the preceding roll forwards represents activity for any financial statement items identified as using Level 3 significant inputs at either the beginning or the end of the periods presented. The Company had transfers among the levels arising from transfers of IRLCs to mortgage loans held for sale at fair value upon purchase or funding of the respective mortgage loans and from the return to salability in the active secondary market of certain mortgage loans held for sale. Such loans became saleable into the active secondary market due to curing of the loans’ defects through borrower reperformance, modification of the loan or resolution of deficiencies contained in the borrowers’ credit file.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s Cash as well as its Carried Interest due from Investment Funds, Note receivable from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trustsecured, Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreement, Note payable, and amounts receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities are carried at amortized cost.

Cash is measured using a “Level 1” input.

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.

The Company’s Note receivable from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trustsecured, Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreement and Note payable are carried at amortized cost. These financial instruments do not have observable inputs and fair value is measured using management’s estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the lack of observable inputs to estimate the fair value. Management has concluded that the fair value of these financial statement items approximates their carrying values due to their short terms and variable interest rates.

Table of Contents

The Company also carries the receivables from and payables to the Advised Entities at cost. Management has concluded that the fair value of such balances approximates their carrying values due to the short terms of such balances.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

Most of the Company’s financial assets, a portion of its MSRs and its ESS liability are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and all of its MSRs and ESS are “Level 3” financial statement items which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair 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.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items, management has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair value of these items to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant executive management oversight. The Company’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures.

With respect to the Level 3 valuations, the FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. 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 Company’s senior management valuation committee. The Company’s senior management valuation committee includes PFSI’s chief executive, financial, operating, credit and asset/liability management officers.

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 inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.

With respect to IRLCs, the Company has assigned responsibility for developing fair values to its Capital Markets Risk Management staff. The fair values developed by the Capital Markets Risk Management staff are submitted to the Company’s senior management Secondary Marketing Working Group. The Company’s Secondary Marketing Working Group includes PFSI’s chief executive, operating, institutional mortgage banking, capital markets, asset/liability management, portfolio risk and capital markets operations officers.

Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value financial statement items:

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

A substantial portion 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 determined using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent.

Certain of the Company’s mortgage loans may become non-saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase of mortgage loans with identified defects. The Company may also purchase certain delinquent government guaranteed or insured mortgage loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools in its servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase such mortgage loans arises as the result of the borrower’s failure to make payments for at least three consecutive months preceding the month of repurchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. To the extent such mortgage loans (“early buyout loans”) have not become saleable into another Ginnie Mae guaranteed security by becoming current either through the borrower’s reperformance or through completion of a modification of the mortgage loan’s terms, the Company measures such mortgage loans along with other mortgage loans with identified defects using “Level 3” inputs.

Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and total prepayment/resale speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the mortgage loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value:


Key inputs	September 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
Discount rate
Range	2.5% – 8.8%	2.3% – 9.6%
Weighted average	2.8%	2.4%
Twelve-month projected housing price index change
Range	2.8% – 6.0%	4.2% – 5.4%
Weighted average	4.3%	4.5%
Prepayment/resale speed (1)
Range	0.6% – 18.5%	1.3% – 15.5%
Weighted average	17.2%	15.1%
Total prepayment speed (2)
Range	1.0% – 35.1%	2.1% – 38.1%
Weighted average	32.1%	35.7%

(1)Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

(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 reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as a “Level 3” financial statement item. The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the mortgage loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased (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 fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for IRLCs that have decreased in fair value as a whole. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

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



Key inputs	September 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
Pull-through rate
Range	50.3% – 100.0%	55.4% – 99.9%
Weighted average	85.5%	85.5%

Servicing fee multiple
Range	0.8 – 5.8	2.0 – 5.0
Weighted average	3.9	3.7
Percentage of unpaid principal balance
Range	0.2% – 3.7%	0.4% – 3.1%
Weighted average	1.3%	1.2%

Hedging Derivatives

The remaining derivative financial instruments held or issued by the Company are categorized as “Level 1” or “Level 2” financial statement items. For “Level 1” fair value derivative financial instruments, the Company determines fair value with reference to the respective derivatives’ quoted prices. For “Level 2” fair value derivative financial instruments, the Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell or purchase loans based on observable MBS prices. The Company estimates the fair value of MBS options based on observed interest rate volatilities in the MBS market. Changes in fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

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 net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate or pricing spread, and the per-loan annual cost to service the respective mortgage loans. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net servicing fees—Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.

(2)

Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

(1)

The effect on value of an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs will result in recognized change in fair value for MSRs carried at fair value and may result in recognition of MSR impairment for MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The extent of the recognized MSR impairment will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of such MSRs.

(2)

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 mortgage loans and purchased MSRs not backed by pools of distressed mortgage loans.

(3)

Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

The Company categorizes ESS financing as a “Level 3” financial statement item. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of ESS financing. The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS fair value include pricing spread and prepayment speed. Significant changes to either of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the ESS fair value. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.

ESS financing is generally subject to fair value increases when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally slow mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing ESS’ fair value, which is the liability owed to PMT. Increases in the fair value of ESS decrease income and are included in Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

Interest expense for ESS is accrued using the interest method based upon the expected cash flows from the ESS through the expected life of the underlying mortgage loans. Changes in fair value of ESS attributable to changes in estimated future cash flows are included in Interest expense. Other changes in fair value are recorded in Change in fair value of excess servicing spread payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust.

Following are the key inputs used in estimating the fair value of ESS:

Note 9—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to fair value risk relative to its mortgage loans held for sale as well as to its IRLCs and MSRs. The Company bears fair value risk from the time an IRLC is made to PMT or a loan applicant to the time the mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss in fair value of its IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale when market mortgage interest rates increase. The Company is exposed to loss in fair value of its MSRs when market mortgage 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 fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair 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 other than IRLCs, which are generated in the process of purchasing or originating mortgage loans held for sale. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

The amount of the Carried Interest that will be received by the Company depends on the Investment Funds’ future performance. As a result, the amount of Carried Interest recorded by the Company is based on the cash flows that would be produced assuming termination of the Investment Funds at period end and may be reduced in future periods based on the performance of the Investment Funds in those periods. However, the Company is not required to pay guaranteed returns to the Investment Funds and the amount of any reduction to Carried Interest will be limited to the amounts previously recognized.

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

Note 13—Borrowings

As of September 30, 2015, the Company maintained six borrowing facilities: four repurchase facilities that provide funding for mortgage loans held for sale; one mortgage loan participation and sale agreement; and one note payable secured by MSRs and servicing advances made relating to certain loans in the Company’s mortgage loan servicing portfolio.

The borrowing facilities contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing PLS’s net worth, debt to equity ratio, profitability and liquidity. Management believes that PLS was in compliance with these requirements as of September 30, 2015.

Mortgage Loans Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan sale and repurchase agreements. Eligible mortgage loans are sold at 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 on LIBOR for the other three agreements. Mortgage loans financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders. One facility also provides financing

Citibank, N.A.	$	10,504	November 6, 2015	October 22, 2015

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 fair value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the mortgage loans securing those agreements decreases.

Mortgage Loan Participation and Sale Agreement

Under the mortgage loan participation and sale agreement, participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender as part of the sale of the participation certificate.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Total interest expense	$	3,760		$	1,239		$	7,858		$	2,759

The note payable was secured by servicing advances and MSRs relating to certain mortgage loans in the Company’s mortgage loan servicing portfolio, providing for advance rates of 50% of the carrying value of MSRs pledged and 85% of the amount of the servicing advances pledged. Interest was charged at a rate based on the lender’s overnight cost of funds.

In connection with the note payable, the Company entered into an agreement with PMT pursuant to which PMT may borrow up to $150 million from the Company for the purpose of financing ESS. The Company then re-pledges the ESS to secure the note payable. At September 30, 2015, PMT had advances payable to the Company totaling $150.0 million under this arrangement.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing

In conjunction with the Company’s purchase from non-affiliates of certain MSRs relating to pools of Agency-backed residential mortgage loans, the Company has entered into sale and assignment agreements with PMT which are treated as financings and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Under these agreements, the Company sold to PMT the right to receive ESS cash flows relating to certain MSRs. The Company retained a fixed base servicing fee and all ancillary income associated with servicing the mortgage loans. The Company continues to be the servicer of the mortgage loans and provides all servicing functions, including responsibility to make servicing advances.

Note 15—Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 11.6% and 11.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were 11.5% and 11.4%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into the Company’s shares, the portion of the Company’s income that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates will increase, which will in turn increase the Company’s effective income tax rate.

Note 16—Noncontrolling Interest

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, PennyMac unitholders exchanged 43,830 and 177,218 Class A units for the Company’s Class A common stock. The effect of the exchanges reduced the percentage of the Noncontrolling interest in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC from 71.6% at December 31, 2014 to 71.3% at September 30, 2015.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, PennyMac unitholders exchanged 192,527 and 671,736 Class A units for the Company’s Class A common stock. The effect of the exchanges reduced the percentage of the Noncontrolling interest in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC from 72.6% at December 31, 2013 to 71.7% at September 30, 2014.

Net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders and the effects of changes in noncontrolling ownership interest in PennyMac is summarized below:

Note 23—Segments and Related Information

The Company operates in three segments: loan production, loan servicing and investment management.

Two of the segments are in the mortgage banking business: loan production and loan servicing. The loan production segment performs origination, acquisition and sale activities. The loan servicing segment performs servicing of newly originated mortgage loans, execution and management of early buyout loans and servicing of mortgage loans sourced and managed by the investment management segment, including executing the loan resolution strategy identified by the investment management segment relating to distressed mortgage loans.

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

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company updated its method for allocating incentive compensation for executive management and shared services to each segment. Incentive compensation for executive management and shared services is now allocated to each segment based on its contribution to earnings rather than on usage of such executive management and shared services. The financial highlights below reflect the change in expense allocation method for the periods ended September 30, 2015. The financial highlights for the periods ended September 30, 2014 have not been restated. Following is a summary of the effect of the change in allocation on the segments’ expenses for the periods ended September 30, 2014:

Note 24—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”), particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASU 2015-02 using: (a) a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption; or (b) by applying the amendments retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015.

The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the Company, on its September 30, 2015 consolidated balance sheet, reclassified $716,000 in debt issuance costs from Other assets and allocated such costs in the amount of $705,000 to Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase; $1,000 to Mortgage loan participation and sale agreement; and $10,000 to Note payable. There were no changes to the Company’s consolidated statements of income or consolidated statements of cash flows as a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-03.

Note 25—Subsequent Events

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

On October 22, 2015, the Company, through PLS, entered into an amendment to its master repurchase agreement with Citibank, N.A. The primary purpose of the amendment was to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price to $200 million, $150 million of which is committed. The termination date was extended to October 20, 2016. PLS also agreed to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include maintaining (i) a minimum adjusted tangible net worth at all times greater than or equal to $170 million; (ii) a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at all times greater than or equal to $20 million; (iii) a ratio of total liabilities to adjusted tangible net worth at all times less than 10:1; and (iv) profitability of at least $1.00 for each fiscal quarter. All other terms and conditions of the master repurchase agreement remain the same in all material aspects.

All agreements to repurchase assets that matured between September 30, 2015 and the date of this Report were extended or renewed.

Our Company

We are a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and our management’s 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.

We operate and control all of the business and affairs of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”) and are its sole managing member. PennyMac was founded in 2008 by members of our executive leadership team and two strategic partners, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC and HC Partners, LLC, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments, LLC, together with its affiliates.

We conduct our business in three segments: loan production, loan servicing (together, these two activities comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management. Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States. Our investment management subsidiary, PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), is an SEC registered investment adviser. PCM manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a mortgage real estate investment trust, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT. PCM also manages PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P., both registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an affiliate of these funds 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

Loan Production

Mortgage loans produced through our loan production segment are sourced through two channels: correspondent production and consumer direct lending.

In our correspondent production channel, we manage, 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, including both conventional and government-insured or guaranteed residential mortgage loans that qualify for inclusion in securitizations that are guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies”. For conventional mortgage loans, we perform fulfillment activities for PMT and earn a fulfillment fee for each mortgage loan purchased by PMT. In the case of government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans, we purchase them from PMT at PMT’s cost plus a sourcing fee and fulfill them for our own account.

Through our consumer direct lending channel, we originate new prime credit quality, first-lien residential conventional and government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans on a national basis to allow customers to purchase

or refinance their homes. Our consumer direct model 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.

For mortgage loans originated through our consumer direct lending channel, we conduct our own fulfillment, earn interest income and gains or losses during the holding period and upon the sale or securitization of these mortgage loans, and retain the associated mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) (subject to sharing with PMT a portion of such MSRs or cash with respect to certain consumer direct originated mortgage loans that refinance mortgage loans for which the related MSRs or excess servicing spread (“ESS”) was held by PMT).

Loan Servicing

Our loan servicing segment performs mortgage loan administration, collection, and default management activities, including the collection and remittance of mortgage loan payments; response to customer inquiries; accounting for principal and interest; holding custodial (impounded) 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 mortgage loans both as the owner of MSRs and on behalf of other MSR or mortgage owners. We provide servicing for conventional and government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans (“prime servicing”), as well as servicing for distressed mortgage loans that have been acquired as investments by our Advised Entities (“special servicing”). As of September 30, 2015, the portfolio of mortgage loans that we serviced or subserviced totaled approximately $154.8 billion in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”).

Investment Management

We are an investment manager through our subsidiary, PCM. PCM currently manages the Advised Entities. The Advised Entities had combined net assets of approximately $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2015. For these activities, we earn management fees as a percentage of net assets and incentive compensation based on the entities’ performance.

Observations on Current Market Conditions

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 to grow as reflected in recent economic data. During the third quarter of 2015, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 1.5% compared to a 4.3% increase for the third quarter of 2014 and a revised 3.9% increase for the second quarter of 2015. The national unemployment rate was 5.1% at September 30, 2015 compared to 5.3% at June 30, 2015 and 5.9% at September 30, 2014. Delinquency rates on residential real estate loans remain elevated compared to historical rates, but have been steadily declining. As reported by the Federal Reserve Bank, during the second quarter of 2015, the delinquency rate on residential real estate loans held by commercial banks was 5.77%, a reduction from 7.40% during the second quarter of 2014.

Table of Contents

Residential real estate activity appears to be stable. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for September 2015 was 8.8% higher than for September 2014, and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $221,900, a 6.1% increase from September 2014. On a national level, foreclosure filings during September 2015 increased by 3.1% as compared to September 2014. Foreclosure activity is expected to remain above historical average levels through 2015 and beyond.

Changes in fixed-rate residential mortgage loan interest rates generally follow changes in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 3.84% to a high of 4.09% during the third quarter of 2015 while during the third quarter of 2014, thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 4.10% to a high of 4.23% (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey).

Mortgage lenders originated an estimated $455 billion of home loans during the third quarter of 2015, up 26% from the third quarter of 2014. Although the low interest rate environment has led to an increase in the volume of borrowers seeking to refinance, we expect purchase-money loans to constitute a greater proportion of mortgage originations in the future. Mortgage originations are forecast to remain relatively flat, with current industry estimates for 2015 totaling $1.6 trillion (Source: average of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts). We expect efforts to expand GSE product offerings (including 97% loan-to-value loans) and a recent reduction in FHA mortgage insurance premiums to make mortgage credit more affordable. In our correspondent production business, we continue to see increased competition from new and existing market participants.

In our capacity as an investment manager, we continue to see a robust market for distressed residential mortgage loans (sales of loan pools that consist of either non-performing loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale. During 2015, the pool of sellers expanded to include Fannie Mae as a new programmatic seller, together with existing sellers including HUD, Freddie Mac and Money-center Banks. During the third quarter of 2015, we reviewed 32 mortgage loan pools totaling approximately $8.2 billion in UPB. This compares to our review of 36 mortgage loan pools totaling approximately $9.7 billion in UPB during the third quarter of 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired for PMT distressed loans with fair values totaling $242 million and $287.5 million during the same period in 2014. While we expect to see a continued supply of distressed whole loans, we believe the pricing for recent transactions has been less attractive for buyers. We remain patient and selective for PMT in making new investments in distressed whole loans and we continue to monitor the market to assess best execution opportunities for distressed portfolio investments held by the Advised Entities.

Net income increased $9.9 million and $28.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2014. The increase in net income during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to increased net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value and loan origination fees, offset by increased expenses incurred to accommodate the growth of our mortgage banking segments.

Net Gains on Mortgage Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $82.6 million and $242.0 million, respectively, increases of $34.5 million and $119.6 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2014. The increase during these periods was due to growth in the volume of mortgage loans that we purchased and originated and subsequently sold partially offset by reduced production margins.

Table of Contents

Most of our mortgage loan production currently is centered in government-insured or guaranteed loans. Over recent periods, the margins on correspondent government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans have tended to be higher than those on conventional correspondent production. Government-insured or guaranteed mortgage lending is not as competitive as conventional conforming mortgage lending due to the added complexity involved in the origination and servicing of government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We source the majority of our government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loan production through PMT. PMT is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We purchase the government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that PMT acquires through its correspondent lending activities and pay PMT a sourcing fee of three basis points on the UPB of such mortgage loans.

Our net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value include both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include both cash and our estimate of the fair value of the MSRs. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value included $153.3 million and $340.2 million, respectively, in fair value of MSRs received as part of proceeds on sales, net of mortgage servicing liabilities incurred. We also recognize a liability for our estimate of the losses we expect to incur in the future as a result of claims made against us in connection with the representations and warranties that we made in the loan sales transactions. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we included provisions for losses relating to the representations and warranties we provided totaling $2.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, in our Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value.

Provision for Losses on Representations and Warranties

We record our estimate of the losses that we expect to incur in the future as a result of claims against us in connection with the representations and warranties provided to the purchasers of the loans we sold in our Net gains on sale of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. Our agreements with the Agencies include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell to the 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 our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent lenders that sold such mortgage loans and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.

The method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, mortgage loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis.

Table of Contents

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties as a component of Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $2.3 million and $5.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $3.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The increase in provisions for losses under representations and warranties during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan sales activity.

Following is a summary of mortgage loan repurchase and loss activity and the UPB of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties:

Unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties	$	54,259,297	$	33,660,189
Liability for representations and warranties	$	18,478	$	11,762

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased mortgage loans totaling $5.3 million and $17.1 million in UPB, respectively. After recovery of repurchase losses from the selling correspondent lenders, we recorded losses of $71,000 and $316,000, respectively, as a result of these repurchases. As the outstanding balance of mortgage loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold continue to season, we expect the level of repurchase activity to increase.

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying mortgage loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is prepared initially by our credit administration staff. The liability estimate is reviewed and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes PFSI’s chief executive, operating, credit and enterprise risk, mortgage fulfillment, institutional mortgage banking and shared services officers. We did not record any adjustments to previously recorded liabilities for representations and warranties during any of the periods presented.

Table of Contents

Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current UPB of loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

Other Loan Production-Related Revenues

Loan origination fees increased $17.6 million and $41.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to growth in the volume of correspondent purchases in our loan production activities.

Fulfillment fees from PMT, which represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with its acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans, are calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the mortgage loans we fulfill for PMT. Fulfillment fees increased $2.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to an increase in the volume of mortgage loan fulfillment. Summarized below are our fulfillment fees:

Loan servicing fees increased $41.3 million and $81.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to an increase in loan servicing fees from non-affiliates resulting from growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio due to our purchases of MSRs, supplemented with the ongoing sales of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. The increase in loan servicing fees was partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing fees from our Advised Entities due to activity fees relating to sales of reperforming mortgage loans by the Advised Entities in 2014 that did not recur in 2015.

Amortization, impairment and change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased $38.0 million and $83.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. This increase was primarily due to increased amortization of a growing mortgage servicing asset and increased impairment of MSRs resulting from the effect on fair value of the decreasing interest rate environment that prevailed during much of 2015. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was also negatively impacted by a reduction in the Federal Housing Administration’s mortgage insurance premium.

Investment Funds		238,349		428,040
	$	1,751,854	$	2,016,081

Management fees from PMT decreased $3.9 million and $8.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in performance incentive fees resulting from reductions in PMT’s net income during the period over which incentive fees are calculated.

Our incentive fee is based on how much PMT’s return on shareholders’ equity over a rolling twelve-month period exceeds certain thresholds. Therefore, the decrease in profitability reduced PMT’s return on equity and by extension the performance incentive fee we earned in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Management fees from the Investment Funds decreased $1.0 million and $2.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The decrease was due to a reduction in the Investment Funds’ net asset values as a result of continued distributions to the Investment Funds’ investors following the end of the Investment Funds’ commitment periods on December 31, 2011, which reduces the investment base on which the management fees are computed.

Carried Interest from Investment Funds decreased $419,000 and $3.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to decreases in the Investment Funds’ returns in 2015 compared to 2014.

Compensation expense increased $25.8 million and $64.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to growth in our workforce to support the growth of our mortgage banking operations.

Servicing expense increased $2.9 million and $26.4 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to increased realized servicing advance losses and increased provisions for expected future servicing advance losses relating to delinquent government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that we service. Servicing expenses also increased due to continuing growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio.

Technology expense increased $2.3 million and $7.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to increased software costs as part of our continued investment in loan production and servicing infrastructure.

Loan origination expense increased $1.8 million and $6.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 due to increased loan production in 2015 compared to 2014.

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 with PMT. The expense amounts presented in our consolidated statements of income are net of these allocations. The amount of total expenses that we allocated to PMT during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 remained generally consistent compared to the same periods in 2014 and included discretionary waivers, in accordance with the terms of the management agreement, of $900,000 and $1.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, of overhead expenses otherwise allocable to PMT.

Expense amounts allocated to PMT during the period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized below:

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 11.6% and 11.5% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to 11.5% and 11.4% during the same periods in 2014, respectively. The difference between our effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into our shares, we expect an increase in allocated earnings that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates, which will in turn increase our effective income tax rate.

Table of Contents

Total assets increased $1.3 billion from $2.5 billion at December 31, 2014 to $3.8 billion at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $576.6 million in MSRs and an increase of $549.1 million in mortgage loans held for sale at fair value, resulting from purchases of MSRs and growth in our mortgage loan production.

Total liabilities increased by $1.1 billion from $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2014 to $2.8 billion as of September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $464.2 million in mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase, an increase of $103.8 million in sales of mortgage loan participation certificates, and increase of $260.1 million in note payable all to fund growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value and MSRs, and an increase of $227.4 million in liabilities relating to the sale of ESS to PMT.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized below:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2015		2014		Change
	(in thousands)
Cash flow activities:

Net cash flows	$	(28,841)	$	46,612	$	(75,453)

Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $28.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was due to cash used in our operating and investing activities exceeding cash provided by our financing activities.

Operating activities

Cash used in operating activities totaled $519.2 million and $695.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily due to the growth of our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $538.2 million primarily due to our purchases of MSRs and advances on a note receivable from PMT that we made during the period. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $1.2 million primarily due to a decrease in short-term investments.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.0 billion and $740.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily due to increased sales of loans under agreements to repurchase and a mortgage loan participation agreement used to finance the growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale. Cash provided by financing activities also reflects the proceeds received from issuance of ESS financing of $271.5 million and $82.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, used to finance purchases of MSRs and $150.0 million of advances on a note receivable that were in turn advanced to PMT to finance its investment in ESS.

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, proceeds

Table of Contents

from borrowings, proceeds from and issuance of ESS 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, appropriate and available. Our borrowing activities are in the form of sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation certificates, a note payable secured by MSRs and ESS financing. All of our borrowings other than ESS have short-term maturities and provide for terms of approximately one year. We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until long-term financing becomes more available. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of mortgage loans together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. Our mortgage loan repurchase agreements are summarized below:


	Quarter ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Repurchase agreements outstanding:
Average balance	$	975,724	$	691,730	$	805,517	$	505,072
Maximum daily balance	$	1,496,306	$	1,010,146	$	1,496,306	$	1,010,146
Balance at period end	$	1,286,411	$	929,460

The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is due to the effect of variations in the timing and levels of production and sales on mortgage loan inventories during the period.

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

positive net income during each calendar quarter;

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

a minimum tangible net worth of $200 million;

a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 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 performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under its debt agreements. Covenants of PLS in PMT’s debt agreements are equally or sometimes less restrictive than the covenants described above.

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.

Table of Contents

PLS is also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by each of the Agencies. Effective

December 31, 2015, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have established new minimum liquidity requirements and revised their net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers, as summarized below:

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac liquidity requirement is equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of total non-performing Agency servicing UPB in excess of 6% of total Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines;

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac net worth requirement is a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

Ginnie Mae single-family issuer minimum liquidity requirement is equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and

Ginnie Mae net worth requirement is equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.

We are continuing to evaluate the impact of these requirements on our future operations. Although there can be no assurance, we currently believe that we will be in compliance with or otherwise satisfy the applicable Agency requirements.

We have purchased portfolios of MSRs and have financed them in part through the sale to PMT of the right to receive ESS. The outstanding amount of the ESS financing is based on the current valuation of such ESS and amounts received on the underlying mortgage loans.

We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, financing MSR purchases through bank lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements and corporate debt. 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 September 30, 2015, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2015, we had contractual obligations of $1.3 billion to finance assets under agreements to repurchase and $247.4 million to finance assets under our mortgage loan participation and sale agreement. We also had a contractual obligation of $407.0 million relating to a note payable secured by MSRs. 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.

Management Agreements

PMT Management Agreement

We externally manage and advise PMT pursuant to a management agreement. Our management agreement with PMT requires us to oversee PMT’s business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by its board of trustees. We are responsible for PMT’s day-to-day management and perform such services and activities related to PMT’s assets and operations as may be appropriate. Pursuant to our management agreement, we collect a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee.

The management agreement provides 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.

Table of Contents

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 us 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 average Fannie Mae 30‑year MBS yield (the “target yield”) for the four quarters then ended. 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 us 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.

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, we 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 performance incentive fee earned by us, in each case during the 24-month period before termination.

Investment Funds Management Agreements

We have investment management agreements with the Investment Funds pursuant to which we receive management fees consisting of base management fees and carried interest. The Investment Funds will continue in existence through December 31, 2016, subject to three one-year extensions by PCM at its discretion, in accordance with the terms of the limited liability company and limited partnership agreements that govern the Investment Funds.

Loan Servicing Agreements

PMT Loan Servicing Agreement

We have a loan servicing agreement with PMT, pursuant to which we provide loan servicing for its portfolio of residential mortgage loans. The servicing agreement provides for servicing fees payable to us based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or whether the underlying mortgage property has become REO.

The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans are charged based on a monthly per‑loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or

Table of Contents

foreclosure status of such loan or whether the underlying mortgage property has become REO. Presently, the base servicing fee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $125 per month for mortgage loans that are in foreclosure. The base servicing fee rate for REO and REO rentals is $75 and $30 per month, respectively.

The base servicing fee rates for non‑distressed mortgage loans subserviced by us on PMT’s behalf are also calculated through a monthly per‑loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each mortgage loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed‑rate or adjustable‑rate loan. The base servicing fee rates for mortgage loans subserviced on PMT’s behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed‑rate mortgage loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable rate mortgage loans. To the extent that these mortgage loans become delinquent, we are entitled to an additional servicing fee per mortgage loan falling within a range of $10 to $55 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the mortgage loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO.

We are 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, we receive a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and, through August 31, 2015, received a supplemental servicing fee of $3.25 per month for each non‑distressed subserviced mortgage loan. With respect to non‑distressed subserviced mortgage loans, the supplemental servicing fee was subject to a cap of $700,000 per quarter. The supplemental servicing fee for non-distressed subserviced mortgage loans was eliminated, effective as of September 1, 2015. We are also entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in performance of our servicing obligations.

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

We also remain 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 we service for PMT.

Investment Funds Loan Servicing Agreements

We have also entered into loan servicing agreements with the Investment Funds. Our servicing agreements with the Investment Funds generally provide for fee revenue, which varies depending on the type and quality of the loans being serviced. We are also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges. This arrangement was modified, effective January 1, 2012, with respect to one of the Investment Funds. At that time, we settled our accrued servicing fee rebate and amended our servicing agreement with such fund to charge scheduled servicing fees in place of the previous “at cost” servicing arrangement.

Mortgage Banking and Warehouse Services Agreement

We have also entered into a mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement (the “MBWS agreement”), pursuant to which we provide PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, with respect to loans acquired by PMT from correspondent lenders, and certain warehouse lending services, including fulfillment and administrative services, with respect to loans financed by PMT for its warehouse lending clients.

The MBWS agreement provides for a fulfillment fee paid to us based on the type of mortgage loan that PMT acquires. The fulfillment fee is equal to a percentage of the UPB 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. We

Table of Contents

have also agreed to provide such services exclusively for PMT’s benefit, and we and our affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party.

Presently, the applicable fulfillment fee percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans saleable 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 more than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above; provided, however, that we may, in our sole discretion, reduce the amount of the applicable fulfillment fee and credit the amount of such reduction to the reimbursement otherwise due as described below. This reduction may only be credited to the reimbursement applicable to the month in which the related mortgage loan was funded.

In the event that PMT purchases mortgage loans with a total UPB in any month greater than $2.5 billion and less than $5 billion, we have 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 UPB in excess of $2.5 billion, and (iii) the percentage of the total UPB relating to mortgage loans for which we collected fulfillment fees in such month. In the event PMT purchases mortgage loans with a total UPB in any month greater than $5 billion, we have agreed to further discount the amount of fulfillment fees by reimbursing PMT an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.05%, (ii) the amount of UPB in excess of $5 billion, and (iii) the percentage of the total UPB relating to mortgage loans for which we collected fulfillment fees in such month.

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the MBWS agreement, we currently purchase loans saleable in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind to PMT at its cost, plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points, in each case on the UPB of the loan, less loan administrative fees collected by PMT from the seller.

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by us with respect to PMT’s acquisition of mortgage loans under PLS’s early purchase program, we are entitled to fees (i) accruing at a rate equal to $25,000 per year per early purchase facility administered by us, and (ii) in the amount of $50 for each mortgage loan PMT acquires. In consideration for the warehouse services provided by us with respect to mortgage loans that PMT finances for its warehouse lending clients, with respect to each facility, we are 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, we shall only be entitled to one $25,000 per year fee and, with respect to any mortgage loan that becomes subject to both such agreements, only one $50 per mortgage loan fee.

The term of the MBWS 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.

MSR Recapture Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a MSR recapture agreement, as amended, if we refinance through our consumer direct lending business mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, we are 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 a total UPB that is not less than 30% of the total UPB of all such mortgage loans so originated.

Where the fair value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, we may, at our option, pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value instead of transferring such MSRs. 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.

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which we may sell to PMT or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries

Table of Contents

the rights to receive certain ESS from MSRs acquired by us from banks and other third party financial institutions. We are generally required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for the applicable agency or investor. The specific terms of each transaction under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement are subject to the terms thereof, as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

To the extent we refinance any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS sold to PMT, the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains recapture provisions requiring that we transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, we may, at our option, pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such ESS.

On December 30, 2013, we entered into a second master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that we only intend to sell ESS relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

To the extent we refinance any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we sell to PMT, the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that we transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the UPB of the refinanced mortgage loans, we are also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the UPB of the modified mortgage loans, the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require us to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, we may, at our option, pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such ESS.

In connection with our entry into the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, we were also required to (i) amend the terms of our loan and security agreement (the “LSA”) with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”), pursuant to which we pledged to CSFB all of our rights and interests in the Ginnie Mae MSRs we own or acquire, enabling us to finance certain of such MSRs and servicing advance receivables, and (ii) enter into a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and us. Separately, as a condition to permitting us to transfer to PMT the ESS relating to a portion of our pledged Ginnie Mae MSRs, CSFB required PMT to enter into a Security and Subordination Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which PMT pledged to CSFB its rights under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and its interest in any ESS purchased thereunder. CSFB’s lien on the ESS remains subordinate to the rights and interests of Ginnie Mae pursuant to the provisions of the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the terms of the acknowledgement agreement.

The Security Agreement permits CSFB to liquidate PMT’s ESS along with the related MSRs to the extent there exists an event of default under the LSA, and it contains certain trigger events, including breaches of representations, warranties or covenants and defaults under other of PMT’s credit facilities, that would require us to either (i) repay in full the outstanding loan amount under the LSA or (ii) repurchase the ESS from PMT at fair value. To the extent we are unable to repay the loan under the LSA or repurchase the ESS, an event of default would exist under the LSA, thereby entitling CSFB to liquidate the ESS and the related MSRs. In the event the ESS is liquidated as a result of certain actions or inactions by us, PMT generally would be entitled to seek indemnity from us under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

On December 19, 2014, we entered into a third master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that we only intend to sell ESS relating to Freddie Mac MSRs under the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

To the extent we refinance any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we sell to PMT, the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that we transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, we may, at our option, pay cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

Table of Contents

On April 30, 2015, we amended and restated the 12/30/13 Spread Agreement and the LSA, and PMT amended and restated the Security Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement to the 12/30/13 Spread Agreement was to evidence the ownership of the ESS under participation certificates and to otherwise incorporate the terms of previously executed amendments. Under the terms of the amendment and restatement to the LSA, the maximum loan amount was increased from $257 million to $407 million. The $150 million increase was implemented for the purpose of facilitating the financing of ESS by PMT. The aggregate loan amount outstanding under the amended and restated LSA and relating to advances outstanding with PMT is guaranteed in full by PMT. The primary purpose of PMT’s amendment and restatement to the Security Agreement was to provide CSFB with remedies under the Security Agreement relating to such guaranty obligations by PMT.

Note Receivable from PMT

In connection with certain of the amendments and restatements described above, we entered into an underlying loan and security agreement with PMT, dated as of April 30, 2015, pursuant to which PMT may borrow up to $150 million from us for the purpose of financing ESS (the “Underlying LSA”).

The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA is based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged by PMT, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, PMT granted us a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings.

We have agreed with PMT in connection with the Underlying LSA that PMT is required to repay us the principal amount of borrowings plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment, and we are required, in turn, to repay CSFB the corresponding amount under the MSR Repo. Interest accrues on the note receivable from PMT relating to the Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. PMT was also required to pay us a fee for the structuring of the Underlying LSA in an amount equal to the portion of the corresponding fee paid by us to CSFB allocable to the increase in the maximum loan amount under the MSR Repo resulting from the ESS financing.

Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the IPO of PMT’s common shares on August 4, 2009, we entered into an agreement with PMT pursuant to which PMT agreed to reimburse us 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, the parties amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement to us of the Conditional Reimbursement if PMT is required to pay us 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.

In the event the termination fee is payable to us under the management agreement and we 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.

Debt Obligations

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through committed and uncommitted borrowings with major financial institution counterparties in the form of sales of mortgage loans and MSRs under agreements to repurchase, a mortgage loan participation and sale agreement, and ESS financing. The borrower under each of these facilities or arrangements 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 September 30, 2015, we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

Table of Contents

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.

All of PLS’s borrowings discussed above have short-term maturities that expire as follows:

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 that we are exposed to are credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk.

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and 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 earnings forecasts.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, 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 failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the 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.
