PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on May 18, 2009, and commenced operations on August 4, 2009, when it completed its initial offerings of common shares of beneficial interest (“shares”). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets.

The Company operates in two segments: correspondent lending and investment activities:

 

    The correspondent lending segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality mortgage loans either directly or in the form of mortgage backed securities (“MBS”), using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS” or the “Servicer”), subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.

Most of the loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent lending activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or through government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.”

 

    The investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments mortgage-related assets, including in distressed mortgage loans, real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”), MBS and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). The Company seeks to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that it acquires through proprietary loan modification programs, special servicing or other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes. Where this is not possible, such as in the case of many nonperforming mortgage loans, the Company seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner, including through the use of resolution alternatives to foreclosure.

The Company is externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that specializes in and focuses on residential mortgage loans. Under the terms of a management agreement, PCM is paid a management fee with a base component and a performance incentive component. Determination of the amount of management fees is discussed in Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties.

The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable period ended on December 31, 2009. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company has to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.

The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 U.S. 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, 2012 (the “Annual Report”).

The Company enters into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which are trusts that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions. In a securitization transaction, the Company transfers mortgage loans on its balance sheet to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of interests in those assets. In a securitization transaction, the Company typically receives cash and/or interests in an SPE in exchange for the assets the Company transfers.

SPEs are generally considered variable interest entities (VIEs). A VIE is an entity having either a total equity investment that is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the ability to control the entity’s activities. Variable interests are investments or other interests that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of the VIE’s expected residual returns.

The Company is a variable interest holder in certain VIEs. The Company consolidates the assets and liabilities of VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE and a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether a variable

 

5


Table of Contents

interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.

At present, the Company only consolidates a VIE that it established as a statutory trust for the purpose of effecting securitizations of mortgage loans. For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans and securities owned by the consolidated VIE are shown under Mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The securities issued to third parties by the consolidated VIE are shown as secured borrowings under Asset-backed secured financing on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company includes the interest income earned on the loans owned at the VIE and interest expense attributable to the asset-backed securities issued by the VIE on its consolidated income statements.

As disclosed in Note 2—Concentration of Risks, the Company also consolidates certain assets held by a third-party VIE.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with U.S. 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.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Reclassification of previously presented balances

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically:

 

    Interest expense is presented along with Interest income as a new caption of Net interest income is to better reflect the Company’s results due to growth in its portfolio of interest-earning assets. This reclassification results in the presentation of Net interest income, a reduction in Net investment income and a decrease in Expenses.

 

    Loan servicing fees payable to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. is presented without the inclusion of expenses payable to nonaffiliates. Previously, Loan servicing expense included amounts payable to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. and to nonaffiliates. Amounts payable to nonaffiliates have been reclassified to Other expenses.

Note 2—Concentration of Risks

As discussed in Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in mortgage-related assets, a substantial portion of which are distressed at acquisition. Because of the Company’s investment strategy, many of the mortgage loans in its targeted asset class are purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies. Before acquiring loans or other assets, PCM validates key information provided by the sellers that is necessary to determine the value of the acquired asset.

Because of the Company’s investment focus, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks that borrowers may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments when due, and to the effects of fluctuations in the residential real estate market on the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:

 

    changes in the overall economy and unemployment rates and residential real estate values in the markets where the properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans are located;

 

    PCM’s ability to identify and the Company’s loan servicers’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of problem mortgage loans;

 

    the accuracy of valuation information obtained during the Company’s due diligence activities;

 

    PCM’s ability to effectively model, and to develop appropriate model assumptions that properly anticipate, future outcomes;

 

    the level of government support for problem loan resolution and the effect of current and future proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory changes on the Company’s ability to effect cures or resolutions to distressed loans; and

 

    regulatory, judicial and legislative support of the foreclosure process, and the resulting effect on the Company’s ability to acquire and liquidate the real estate securing its portfolio of distressed mortgage loans in a timely manner or at all.

Due to these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that risk management activities identified and executed on PMT’s behalf will prevent significant losses arising from the Company’s investments in real estate-related assets.

On July 12, 2011, December 20, 2011, June 14, 2013 and June 28, 2013, the Company entered into forward purchase agreements with Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“CGM”), a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., to purchase certain nonperforming residential mortgage loans and residential real property acquired in settlement of loans (collectively, the “CGM Assets”). The CGM Assets were acquired by CGM from unaffiliated money center banks. The commitment under the forward purchase agreement dated July 12, 2011 was settled during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The commitment under the forward purchase agreement dated December 20, 2011 was settled during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The commitments under the forward purchase agreements dated June 14, 2013 and June 28, 2013 have not yet been settled and have maturity dates of June 16, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

The CGM Assets are included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as Mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and Real estate acquired in settlement of loans under forward purchase agreements and the related liabilities are included as Borrowings under forward purchase agreements. The CGM Assets are held by CGM within a separate trust entity deemed a VIE. The Company’s interests in the CGM Assets are deemed to be contractually segregated from all other interests in the trust. When assets are contractually segregated, they are often referred to as a “silo.” For these transactions, the silo consists of the CGM Assets and its related liability. The Company directs all of the activities that drive the economic results of the CGM Assets. All of the changes in the fair value and cash flows of the CGM Assets are attributable solely to the Company, and such cash flows can only be used to settle the related liability.

As a result of consolidating the silo, the Company’s consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the periods presented include the following amounts related to the silo:

Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees

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

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

 

    The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of 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 shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

 

    The performance incentive fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “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: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.

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

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

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

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

Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees recorded by the Company for the periods presented:

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

Mortgage Loan Servicing

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    PLS, on behalf of PMT, currently participates 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 loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The loan servicing agreement entitles PLS to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS under HAMP in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which the Company previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS shall reimburse the Company an amount equal to the incentive payments.

Correspondent Lending

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment Activities

Pursuant to the terms of a MSR recapture agreement, effective February 1, 2013, if PLS refinances through its retail lending business loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries without cost to the Company, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. Where the fair market value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, wire cash to PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such MSRs. MSR recapture amounts are shown in Note 24—Net loan servicing fees. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods.

Pursuant to a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement, effective February 1, 2013, PMT may acquire from PLS the rights to receive certain excess servicing spread arising from MSRs acquired by PLS, in which case PLS generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans. The terms of each transaction under the master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement will be subject to the terms of such agreement as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

Other Transactions

In connection with the initial public offering of PMT’s common shares (“IPO”) on August 4, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with PCM pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse PCM for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the IPO underwriters if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time (the “Conditional Reimbursement”). Effective February 1, 2013, the Company amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement of PCM of the Conditional Reimbursement if the Company is required to pay PCM 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. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $388,000 and $601,000 was paid to PCM, respectively.

The reimbursement agreement also provides for the payment to the underwriters in such offering of the payment that the Company agreed to make to them at the time of the offering if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As PCM earns performance incentive fees under the management agreement, such underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by PCM. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $776,000 and $1.2 million was paid to the underwriters, respectively.

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

Note 4—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined using net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders, which adds back to net income the interest expense, net of applicable income taxes, on exchangeable senior notes for periods presented, by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.

The Company grants restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, unvested share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common shares and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends.

Note 5—Loan Sales and Variable Interest Entities

As described in Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation, the Company is a variable interest holder in various SPEs. The Company has segregated its involvement with VIEs between those VIEs which are consolidated and those VIEs for which the Company does not consolidate.

Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement

The Company purchases and sells mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage market without recourse for credit losses. However, the Company maintains continuing involvement with the loans in the form of servicing arrangements and liability under representations and warranties it makes to purchasers and insurers of the loans. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities and/or does not hold a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The following table summarizes cash flows between the Company and transferees upon sale of loans in transactions where the Company maintains continuing involvement with the mortgage loans as well as unpaid principal balance information at period end:

Consolidated VIEs

On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction in which a wholly-owned SPE issued $537.0 million in offered certificates backed by fixed rate prime jumbo mortgage loans of PMT Loan Trust 2013-J1, at a 3.9% weighted yield. The Company retained $366.8 million of those certificates.

The Company evaluated the securitization trust and determined that the entity is a VIE of which one of the consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary; therefore, the Company consolidated the entity. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the Company is part of a related party group that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the Company retains the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE. The Company’s power stems from PLS, an affiliate, in its role as servicer of the mortgage loans, directing the activities of the trust that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. The Company’s retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates expose the Company to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.

The asset-backed securities are backed by the expected cash flows from the securitized mortgage loans. Cash inflows from these mortgage loans are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with the contractual priority of payments and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay the trust senior notes or certificates. After these senior obligations are settled, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated notes until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest that the Company owns in the trust.

The Company retains interests in the securitization transaction, including senior and subordinated securities issued by the VIE and residual interests. The Company retains credit risk in the securitization because the Company’s retained interests includes the most subordinated interests in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets. The Company expects that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets will likely be limited to the Company’s subordinated and residual retained interests. The Company has no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default other than pursuant breaches of representations and warranties.

Consolidation of the VIE results in the securitization transaction being accounted for as an on-balance sheet secured financing. The securitized mortgage loans remain on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company along with the certificates issued to nonaffiliates by the VIE. The certificates are secured solely by the assets of the VIE and not by any other assets of the Company. The assets of the VIE are the only source of funds for repayment on the notes. The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the VIE. Intercompany balances have been eliminated for purposes of this presentation.

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk created by the commitments it makes to correspondent lenders to purchase loans at specified interest rates, also called interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, MBS, and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company has elected to net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained (or posted) by (or to) its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement. In the event of default, all counterparties are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not enter into reverse repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions that are required to be disclosed in the following table.

Note 7—Fair Value

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

Fair Value Accounting Elections

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets, including short-term investments, MBS, excess servicing spread, Agency debt securities, mortgage loans, and excess servicing spread, as well as its MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% that were acquired as a result of its correspondent lending operations, to be accounted for at estimated fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

For MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% that were acquired as a result of the Company’s correspondent lending operations, management concluded that such assets present different risks to the Company than MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Management’s risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ values. Management has identified these assets for accounting at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

The Company’s risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are generally aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values. At times during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, a portion of the IRLCs, the fair value of which typically increases when prepayment speeds increase, were used to mitigate the effect of changes in fair value of the servicing assets, which typically decreases as prepayment speeds increase.

For loans sold under agreements to repurchase, REO financed through agreements to repurchase and borrowings under forward purchase agreements, management has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the usage of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

The Company measures its investment in REO at the respective properties’ estimated fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is established as the lesser of (a) either the fair value of the loan at the date of transfer or the purchase price of the property, as applicable, and (b) the fair value of the real estate less the estimated cost to sell as of the date of transfer. REO may be subsequently revalued due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or management receiving indications that the property’s value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the value at which the property was initially recorded is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value

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

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s cash balances as well as certain of its borrowings are carried at amortized cost.

Management has concluded that the estimated fair values of Cash, Mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loans at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase, Real estate acquired in settlement of loans financed under agreements to repurchase Borrowings under forward purchase agreements and approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the immediate realizability of cash at its carrying amount and to the borrowing agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates.

As discussed in Note 22, the Company issued Exchangeable Senior Notes, which are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes at September 30, 2013 was $238.4 million. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes is estimated using broker indication of value. The Company has classified this financial instrument as a “Level 3” financial statement item as of September 30, 2013 due to the lack of current market activity and the reliance on the broker’s quote to estimate the instrument’s fair value.

Cash is measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company’s borrowings carried at amortized cost do not have active markets or observable inputs and the fair value is measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of September 30, 2013 due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair value.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

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

PCM has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items to its Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”), which is responsible for valuing and monitoring the Company’s investment portfolios and maintenance of its valuation policies and procedures.

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

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

Table of Contents

The following describes the valuation techniques and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of Level 2 and Level 3 financial statement items:

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Agency Debt Securities

MBS values are presently determined based on whether the securities are issued by one of the Agencies as discussed below:

 

    Agency MBS are categorized as “Level 2” financial statement items. Fair value of Agency MBS are estimated based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

 

    Agency debt security and Non-Agency MBS are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items. Fair value of Agency debt securities and non-Agency MBS is estimated using broker indications of value. For indications of value received, the FAV group and a separate Capital Markets group review the price indications provided by non-affiliate brokers for completeness, accuracy and consistency across all similar MBS managed by PCM. Bond-level analytics such as yield, weighted average life and projected prepayment and default speeds of the underlying collateral are computed. The reasonableness of the brokers’ indications of value and of changes in value from period to period is evaluated in light of the analytical review performed and considering market conditions. The review of the FAV group is reported to PCM’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results. PCM has not adjusted, and does not intend to adjust, its fair value estimates to amounts different than the brokers’ indications of value.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Agency issued debt and non-Agency MBS are discount rates, prepayment speeds, default speeds and expected future losses (or “collateral remaining loss percentage”). Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in fair value measurement. Changes in these assumptions are not directly correlated, as they may be separately affected by changes in collateral characteristics and performance, servicer behavior, legal and regulatory actions, economic and housing market data and market sentiment.

Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used by the FAV group to evaluate the reasonableness of the fair value of Level 3 Agency debt security:

 

Security Class

  

Key Inputs(1)

   September 30, 2013     December 31, 2012  

Agency debt securities

   Discount rate      9.06     —     
   Prepayment speed(2)      5.80     —     
   Default speed(3)      0.20     —     
   Collateral remaining loss percentage(4)      0.32     —     

 

(1) Key inputs are those used to evaluate broker indications of value.
(2) Prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).
(3) Default speed is measured using Life Constant Default Rate (“CDR”).
(4) The projected future losses on the loans in the collateral groups paying to each bond expressed as a percentage of the current balance of the loans.

Mortgage Loans

Fair value of mortgage loans is estimated based on whether the mortgage loans are saleable into active markets:

 

    Mortgage loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, are categorized as “Level 2” financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent. For mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity, the values of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a price for the mortgage loans.

 

    Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value, are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status and property type, and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds, loss severities and discount rates. The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of loan population and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The FAV group computes the effect on the valuation of changes in input variables such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the loan valuation. The results of the estimates of fair value of “Level 3” mortgage loans are reported to PCM’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results.

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

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Excess Servicing Spread Purchased from PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.

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

Excess servicing spread is generally subject to loss in value when interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the loans underlying the excess servicing spread, thereby reducing excess servicing spread value. Reductions in the value of excess servicing spread investments affect income primarily through change in fair value.

Table of Contents

Interest income for excess servicing spread is accrued using the interest method, based upon the expected income from the excess servicing spread through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to expected cash flows result in a change in fair value which is recorded in Net gain (loss) on investments.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of excess servicing spread:

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased as a percentage of the commitments it has made (the “pull-through rate”). The Company categorized IRLCs as a “Level 3” financial statement item.

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

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

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

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” financial statement item. Fair value of REO is estimated by using a current estimate of value from a broker’s price opinion or a full appraisal, or the price given in a current contract of sale.

REO values are reviewed by PCM’s staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of value and there is a significant discrepancy between the values received. PCM’s staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the discrepancy between the indications of value. In circumstances where the appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a value conclusion, the staff appraisers will order an additional appraisal to resolve the property’s value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment and default rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate, and cost to service loans. The key assumptions used in the Company’s discounted cash flow model are based on market factors which management believes are consistent with assumptions and data used by market participants valuing similar MSRs. The results of the estimates of fair value of MSRs are reported to PCM’s valuation committee as part of their review and approval of monthly valuation results.

 

31


Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSRs are pricing spreads, prepayment speeds (or life) and annual per-loan cost of servicing. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key assumptions are not necessarily directly related.

MSRs are generally subject to loss in value when mortgage rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing MSR value. Reductions in the value of MSRs affect income primarily through change in fair value and impairment charges. For MSRs backed by mortgage loans with historically low interest rates, factors other than interest rates (such as housing price changes) take on increasing influence on prepayment behavior of the underlying mortgage loans.

(1) 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 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.
(2) 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 variables; do not incorporate changes in the variables in relation to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions 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 an earnings forecast.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is based on the accrued cost of the agreements, which approximates the agreements’ fair values, due to the agreements’ short maturities.

The Company is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. As discussed in Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties, the Company transfers government insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that it purchases from correspondent lenders to PLS, which is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer, and earns a sourcing fee of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest of each such loan.

Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to price risk relative to its mortgage loans acquired for sale as well as to the IRLCs it issues to correspondent lenders. The Company bears price risk from the time an IRLC is issued to a correspondent lender to the time the purchased mortgage loan is sold. During this period, the Company is exposed to losses if mortgage interest rates increase, because the value of the purchase commitment or mortgage loan acquired for sale decreases.

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. To manage this price risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s IRLCs and inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale.

The Company is also exposed to risk relative to the fair value of its MSRs. The Company is exposed to loss in value of its MSRs when interest rates decrease. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company included MSRs in its hedging activities, and did so for a portion of 2013.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into Eurodollar futures, which settle daily, to economically hedge net fair value changes of a portion of fixed-rate mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity and MBS securities at fair value and the related variable LIBOR

rate repurchase agreement liabilities. The Company uses the Eurodollar futures with the intention of moderating the risk of rising market rates that will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s fixed-rate assets and economic performance of its variable LIBOR rate repurchase agreement liabilities.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

The Company had the following derivative assets and liabilities and related margin deposits recorded within the Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets:

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimate of amortization of its existing MSRs carried at amortized cost. This projection was developed using the assumptions made by management in its September 30, 2013 valuation of MSRs. The assumptions underlying the following estimate will change as market conditions and portfolio composition and behavior change, causing both actual and projected amortization levels to change over time. Therefore, the following estimates will change in a manner and amount not presently determinable by management.

Note 22—Exchangeable Senior Notes

On April 30, 2013, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”) issued in a private offering $250 million aggregate principal amount of its Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semiannually. The exchange rate initially equals 33.5149 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $29.84 per common share). The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes will mature May 1, 2020, unless repurchased or exchanged in accordance with their terms before such date.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and are exchangeable for the Company’s common shares at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The net proceeds from the Notes were used to fund the business and investment activities of the Company, including the acquisition of distressed mortgage loans or other investments; the funding of the continued growth of its correspondent lending business, including the purchase of jumbo loans; the repayment of other indebtedness; and general corporate purposes.

Note 24—Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties

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

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

The Company records a provision for losses relating to the representations and warranties it makes as part of its loan sale transactions. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of estimated future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent lenders. The Company establishes a liability at the time loans are sold and continually updates its liability estimate.

The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, management believes that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by the Company to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. The level of the liability for 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 demand strategies, and other external conditions that will change over the lives of the underlying loans. However, management believes the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 25—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various proceedings, claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was not involved in any such proceedings, claims or legal actions that in management’s view would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Note 26—Shareholders’ Equity

On August 13, 2013, the Company issued and sold 11,300,000 common shares in an underwritten public offering and received $249.4 million of proceeds, after estimated offering expenses. Proceeds from the issuance of these shares were used to fund the Company’s business and investment activities, including the acquisition of distressed mortgage loans and other investments; the funding of its correspondent lending business, including the purchase of jumbo loans; the repayment of indebtedness; and for general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $197.5 million available for issuance under its ATM Equity Offering Sales AgreementSM. The Company has not sold any common shares under the ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report, certain of the underwriting costs incurred in the Company’s IPO were paid on PMT’s behalf by PCM and a portion of the underwriting discount was deferred by agreement with the underwriters of the offering. On February 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Underwriting Fee Reimbursement Agreement (“Reimbursement Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and PCM. The Reimbursement Agreement provides that, to the extent the Company is required to pay PCM performance incentive fees under the management agreement, the Company will reimburse PCM for underwriting costs it paid on the offering date at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The 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. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $388,000 and $601,000 was paid to PCM, respectively.

The Reimbursement Agreement also provides for the payment to the IPO underwriters of the amount that the Company agreed to make to them at the time of the IPO if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As PCM earns performance incentive fees under the management agreement, the IPO underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by PCM. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $776,000 and $1.2 million was paid to the underwriters, respectively. The reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019. Management has concluded that these amounts are likely to be paid and has recognized a liability for reimbursement to PCM and payment of the underwriting discount as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Note 30—Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has adopted an equity incentive plan which provides for the issuance of equity based awards, including share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, unrestricted common share awards, LTIP units (a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership) and other awards based on PMT’s shares that may be made by the Company directly to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PLS, or their affiliates and to PCM, PLS and other entities that provide services to PMT and the employees of such other entities. The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the board of trustees, which has the authority to make awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the awards.

 

49


Table of Contents

The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for grants of equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 8% of PMT’s issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis at the time of the award.

The shares underlying award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:

 

    any shares subject to an award granted under the equity incentive plan are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered;

 

    an award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant; or

 

    shares are surrendered or withheld by PMT as payment of either the exercise price of an award and/or withholding taxes for an award.

Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to employees of PCM and PLS at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to four-year period. Each share option awarded under the equity incentive plan will have a term of no longer than ten years, and will have an exercise price that is no less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant of the award.

The Company’s estimate of value included assumed grantee forfeiture rates of 15% per year, except for certain of PMT’s officers and its board of trustees, for which no turnover was assumed.

As of September 30, 2013, 603,188 restricted share units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.80 per share unit are expected to vest over their average remaining vesting period of 30 months. The grant date fair values of share unit awards are based on the market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

Note 31—Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, PMT generally will not be subject to corporate federal or state income tax to the extent that qualifying distributions are made to shareholders and the Company meets REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company believes that it has met the distribution requirements, as it has declared dividends sufficient to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Taxable income will generally differ from net income. The primary differences between net income and the REIT taxable income (before deduction for qualifying distributions) are the taxable income of the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) after tax adjustments related to MSRs and the method of determining the income or loss related to valuation of the mortgage loans owned by the qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”).

 

50


Table of Contents

In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

The Company had elected to treat two of its subsidiaries as TRSs. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company revoked the election to treat its wholly owned subsidiary that is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership as a TRS. As a result, beginning September 1, 2012, one subsidiary, PMC, is treated as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions have been made to date. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC and, for the periods for which TRS treatment had been elected, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns for both the REIT and TRSs. These federal income tax returns for 2010 and forward are subject to examination. The Company’s primary state income tax return for 2009 and forward are subject to examination. No returns are currently under examination.

The following table details the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) which relates primarily to the TRSs for the periods presented:

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any increase in unrecognized tax benefits. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is the Company’s policy to record such accruals in the Company’s income tax accounts. No such accruals existed at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 32—Segments and Related Information

The Company has two business segments: correspondent lending and investment activities.

 

    The correspondent lending segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage originators, particularly mortgage lenders, and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling the loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the operations of the Manager and the Servicer.

 

    The investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments in distressed mortgage loans, REO, MBS, Agency debt security, mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity, excess servicing spread and MSRs. Management seeks to maximize the value of the mortgage loans acquired by the Company through proprietary loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes. Where this is not possible, such as in the case of many nonperforming mortgage loans, the Company seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner. The Company also invests in mortgage-related securities and other mortgage-related real estate and financial assets.

PMC is a seller-servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. To retain its status as an approved seller-servicer, PMC is required to meet Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s capital standards, which require PMC to maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 million for both Agencies. Management believes PMC complies with Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s net worth requirement as of September 30, 2013.

Note 35—Subsequent Events

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

 

    On September 25, 2013, PCM committed to purchase on the Company’s behalf a pool of nonperforming mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $563 million. The pending transaction is subject to continuing due diligence and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transaction will be completed at all.

 

    On November 6, 2013, the Company and PLS closed the acquisition of a $62 million co-investment in excess servicing spread from a $10.3 billion UPB portfolio of Fannie Mae MSRs purchased by PLS from a third party.

 

    On September 15, 2013, PLS entered into a letter of intent with a third party to purchase a $10.7 billion UPB portfolio of Ginnie Mae MSRs. The Company and PLS intend to enter into an agreement relating to the acquisition of approximately $86 million of excess servicing spread from this MSR portfolio. The MSR acquisition by PLS and the Company’s purchase of excess servicing spread are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, continuing due diligence and customary closing conditions and approvals. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

 

    On November 4, 2013, the Company’s board of trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.57 per share payable on November 29, 2013 to holders of record of the Company’s common shares as of November 15, 2013.

 

    All agreements to repurchase assets that matured between September 30, 2013 and the date of this Report were extended or renewed.

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

We are a specialty finance company that invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, principally through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. We intend to achieve this objective largely by investing in distressed mortgage assets and acquiring, pooling and selling newly originated prime credit quality residential mortgage loans (“correspondent lending”).

Changes in the mortgage market have significantly reduced the outlets for sales of newly originated mortgage loans by mortgage lenders who have traditionally sold their loans to larger mortgage companies and banks who, in turn, sold those loans to Agencies and other investors or into securitizations. We believe that these changes are due in part to banks’ anticipation of regulatory changes to loan and securitization-related capital requirements, along with a focus on retail lending; and that the changes provide us with the opportunity to act as a link between loan originators and the Agency and securitization markets.

During the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased loans with fair values totaling $8.2 billion and $26.0 billion, respectively, in furtherance of our correspondent lending business. To the extent that we purchase loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), through the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration, we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer and servicer and we are not. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent lenders that purchase both government and conventional loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance of each loan that we sell to PLS under such arrangement, and earn interest income on the loan for the time period we hold the loan prior to the sale to PLS. We received sourcing fees totaling $1.2 million and $3.6 million relating to $4.1 billion and $12.4 billion of fair value loans we sold to PLS for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $747,000 and $1.4 million relating to $2.7 billion and $5.1 billion of loans at fair value that we sold to PLS for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

We invest in distressed mortgage loans through direct acquisitions of mortgage loan portfolios from institutions such as banks and mortgage companies. A substantial portion of the nonperforming loans we have purchased has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.

We seek to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that we acquire using means that are appropriate for the particular loan, including both proprietary and nonproprietary loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on avoiding foreclosure, when possible. When we are unable to effect a cure for a mortgage delinquency, our objective is to effect timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the loan through the use, in part, of short sales and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $581.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, and we received proceeds from liquidation, payoffs and sales from our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans and REO totaling $102.3 million and $300.1 million, respectively.

We supplement these activities through participation in other mortgage-related activities, which are in various states of analysis, planning or implementation, including:

 

    Acquisition of MSRs or excess servicing spread from MSRs. We believe that MSR investments may allow us to earn attractive current returns and to leverage the loan servicing and origination capabilities of PLS to improve the assets’ value. We also intend to continue to retain the MSRs that we receive as a portion of the proceeds from our sale or securitization of mortgage loans through our correspondent lending operation. Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement entered into with PLS effective February 1, 2013, if PLS refinances loans for which we previously created and held the MSRs through our correspondent lending activities, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to us, without cost to us, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated.

 

    To the extent that we transfer correspondent lending loans into private label securitizations, we may retain a portion of the securities created in the securitization transaction.

 

    Acquisition of REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities.

 

    Providing inventory financing of mortgage loans for mortgage lenders. We believe this activity may result in attractive investment assets and will supplement and make our correspondent lending business more attractive to lenders from which we acquire newly originated loans.

We are externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on, residential mortgage loans. Most of our mortgage loan portfolio is serviced by PLS, an affiliate of PCM.

We conduct substantially all of our operations, and make substantially all of our investments, through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. We are the sole limited partner and one of our subsidiaries is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership.

We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT. We believe that we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet certain asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification. A portion of our activities, including our correspondent lending business, is conducted in a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we have made a provision for income taxes with respect to the operations of our TRS. We expect that the effective rate for the provision for income taxes may be volatile in future periods. Our goal is to manage the business to take full advantage of the tax benefits afforded to us as a REIT.

Observations on Current Market Opportunities

Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including economic growth, unemployment rates, the residential housing market and interest rate levels and expectations. The U.S. economy continues its pattern of modest growth as reflected in recent economic data. During the third quarter of 2013, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 2.8% compared to revised 2.5% and 2.8% annual rates for the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012, respectively. Modest economic growth continued to affect unemployment rates during the second quarter of 2013. The national unemployment rate was 7.2% at September 30, 2013 and compares to a revised seasonally adjusted rate of 7.8% at September 30, 2012 and 7.6% at June 30, 2013. Delinquency rates on residential real estate loans remain elevated compared to historical rates. As reported by the Federal Reserve, during the second quarter of 2013, the delinquency rate on residential real estate loans held by commercial banks was 9.4%, a reduction from 10.6% during the second quarter of 2012.

Residential real estate activity appears to be improving. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for September 2013 was 10.7% higher than for September 2012 and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $199,200, an 11.7% increase from September 2012. On a national level, foreclosure filings during the third quarter of 2013 decreased by 27% as compared to the third quarter of 2012. Foreclosure activity across the country is expected to remain above historical average levels through the remainder of 2013 and beyond.

Thirty-year fixed rate mortgage interest rates ranged from a high of 4.49% to a low of 4.37% during the third quarter of 2013 (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey). During the first nine months of 2013, mortgage interest rates have ranged from a high of 4.58% to a low of 3.34%. During the third quarter of 2012, interest rates for the thirty-year fixed rate mortgage ranged from a high of 3.66% to a low of 3.40%.

Changes in fixed rate residential mortgage loan interest rates generally follow changes in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Towards the end of the second quarter, an increase in these treasury yields led to an increase in mortgage loan interest rates. As a result of this increase in mortgage loan interest rates, market volumes for mortgage originations have declined led by a reduction in refinance activity.

Mortgage lenders originated an estimated $460 billion of home loans during the third quarter of 2013, down 18.6 percent from the second quarter of the year. That pushed year-to-date production volume to slightly less than $1.6 trillion, and put the market 3.9 percent ahead of the pace set during the first nine months of 2012 (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance). However, mortgage originations are forecast to decline, with current industry estimates for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaling $280 billion (Source: Average of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts).

The potential market opportunity in non-agency jumbo mortgage loans continues to be significant. In the first nine months of 2013, prime jumbo MBS issuance surpassed the total for all of 2012, with securitizations totaling $12.3 billion in unpaid principal balance. The depth of investor demand for non-agency MBS is limited as evidenced by weaker pricing for securitizations issued in the third quarter. We believe that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) will execute upon its stated goal to reduce the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in mortgage finance over time, and part of that goal will be to reduce agency conforming limits to pre-crisis levels beginning sometime in 2014. This would open a significant portion of the jumbo market to non-agency securitization and move the market one step closer to normalization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we produced approximately $190 million in unpaid principal balance of jumbo loans and acquired $393 million in unpaid principal balance of jumbo loans on a bulk basis, compared to $11 million in unpaid principal balance of jumbo loans produced during all of 2012.

        Our Manager continues to see substantial volumes of distressed residential mortgage loan sales (sales of loan pools that consist of either nonperforming loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale by a limited number of sellers. During the third quarter of 2013, our Manager reviewed 25 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $7.3 billion. This compares to our Manager’s review of 23 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $3.8 billion during the third quarter of 2012. We acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $822 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared to $151 million during the third quarter of 2012.

In recent periods, we have seen increased competition from new and existing market participants in our correspondent lending business, as well as reductions in the overall level of refinancing activity. We believe that this change in supply and demand within the marketplace has been driving lower production margins in recent periods, which is reflected in our results of operations in our gains on mortgage loans held for sale. Although margins on gains from mortgage loans held for sale benefitted from wider secondary spreads (the difference between interest rates charged to borrowers and yields on mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market) early in the fourth quarter of 2012, margins narrowed in subsequent quarters and we expect them to continue to normalize toward their long-term averages in 2013 and 2014.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded net income of $39.7 million and $147.5 million, or $0.57 and $2.29 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects net gains on our investments in financial instruments totaling $60.1 million and $244.6 million (comprised of net gain on investments and net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale), including $41.9 million and $136.2 million of valuation gains on mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value. These gains were supplemented by $15.8 million and $34.1 million of net interest income. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased $8.2 billion and $26.0 billion, respectively, in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized gains on such loans totaling approximately $11.0 million and $84.57 million, respectively. At September 30, 2013, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $737.1 million, including $273.0 million that were pending sale to PLS.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded net income of $40.4 million and $89.0 million, or $0.81 and $2.29 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects net gains on our investments in financial instruments (comprised of net gain on investments and net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale) totaling $75.9 million and $146.8 million, including $22.9 million and $50.1 million of valuation gains on MBS and mortgage loans excluding mortgage loans acquired for sale, supplemented by $11.4 million and $30.5 million of net interest income, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we purchased $6.6 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively, in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized gains on such loans totaling approximately $49.8 million and $81.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $847.6 million, including $194.1 million pending sale to PLS.

Our net income decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 due to decreased gains on mortgage loans held for sale. Our net income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to growth in both our correspondent lending and investment activities segments. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold $4.2 billion and $13.2 billion in fair value of mortgage loans to nonaffiliates and issued $6.7 billion and $24.8 billion of IRLCs, an increase of $356 million or 6% and $13.3 billion or 116%, respectively, from the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, rising interest rates negatively impacted our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale margins. As a result, although we sold more loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our net gain on loans acquired for sale decreased by $38.8 million or 78%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale increased by $3.5 million or 4%. In our investment activities, our average investment portfolio was approximately $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $805.7 million or 79% and $476.3 million or 49% from the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We recognized interest income and net gain on investments totaling approximately $84.4 million and $238.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, a increase of $38.6 million or 84% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and an increase of $121.2 million or 103% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Investment Income

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded net investment income of $86.1 million and $309.4 million, respectively, comprised primarily of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale of $11.0 million and $84.7 million and net gain on investments of $49.1 million and $159.9 million, respectively, supplemented by $15.8 million and $34.1 million of net interest income, $4.6 million and $14.8 million of loan origination fees and $6.7 million and $20.6 million of net loan servicing fees, partially offset by $2.3 million and $7.5 million of losses from results of REO, respectively. This compares to net investment income of $90.9 million and $188.6 million recognized during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, comprised primarily of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale of $49.8 million and $81.2 million and net gain on investments of $26.1 million and $65.5 million, respectively, supplemented by $11.4 million and $30.5 million of net interest income and $1.3 million and $7.6 million from results of REO, partially offset by negative net loan servicing income of $511,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.

Net investment income includes noncash fair value adjustments. Because we have elected to record our mortgage loan investments (which include mortgage loans at fair value, and our mortgage loans at fair value under forward purchase agreements and mortgage loans held in a variable interest entity at fair value) at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such loans results from changes in fair value. Net investment income also includes noncash fair value adjustments related to mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, IRLCs, forward purchase and sale contracts and MBS put and call options. The fair value adjustments related to our mortgage loan investments are included in “Net gain (loss) on investments—Mortgage loans.” The fair value adjustments related to mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, IRLCs, forward purchase and sale contracts and MBS put and call options are included in “Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale.” The amounts of fair value adjustments included for the periods indicated are as follows:

Cash is generated when mortgage loan investments are monetized through payoffs or sales, when payment of principal and interest occur on such loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property has been sold. We receive proceeds on the sale of mortgage loans acquired for sale that include both cash and our estimate of the value of MSRs and we recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the loan sales transactions. Cash flows relating to hedging instruments are generally produced when the instruments mature or when we effectively cancel the transactions through an offsetting trade.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received proceeds from liquidation of mortgage loan investments and REO of $102.3 million and $300.1 million, respectively. For these liquidations, we had recorded $12.9 million and $32.8 million, respectively, of accumulated valuation gains during the period we held the assets and recorded additional gains of $8.8 million and $31.1 million, respectively, when the assets were liquidated.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received proceeds from liquidations of mortgage loan investments of $82.9 million and $256.7 million, respectively. For these liquidations, we had recorded $4.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively, of accumulated valuation gains during the period we held the assets and recorded additional gains of $8.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively, when the assets were liquidated.

The growth in net investment income during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily reflects the growth in the distressed loan portfolio. The decrease in net investment income during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012, is due to a reduction in gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale owing to margins during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. This reduction is partially offset by increases in gains on investments, reflecting growth in our portfolio of mortgage loan investments and debt securities.

Correspondent Lending

Net Gain on Mortgage Loans Acquired for Sale

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale of $11.0 million and $84.7 million, respectively, which included approximately $49.0 million and $156.2 million, respectively, in fair value of MSRs received as part of the proceeds from our correspondent lending loan sales.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale of $49.8 million and $81.2 million, respectively, which included approximately $36.8 million and $66.6 million, respectively, in fair value of MSRs received as part of the proceeds from our correspondent lending sales.

Our gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include both cash and our estimate of the value of MSRs and we recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the loan sales transactions.

The change in our cash gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale from the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to the quarter ended September 30, 2013 reflects the cash losses based on prevailing market conditions during the respective periods, which was offset by settlements of hedging transactions entered into to hedge our IRLCs and mortgage loan inventory. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, mortgage interest rates were generally decreasing, resulting in larger cash gains. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, mortgage interest rates were generally increasing, resulting in reduced cash gains. In addition, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, pricing margins were compressed as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012, due to increasing competition in the market for mortgage loans.

We recognize a substantial portion of our gain on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value before we purchase the loan. In the course of our correspondent lending activities, we make contractual commitments to correspondent lenders to purchase loans at specified terms. We call these commitments IRLCs. We recognize the value of IRLCs at the time we make the commitment to the correspondent lender.

An active, observable market for IRLCs does not exist. Therefore, we estimate the fair value of IRLCs using methods and assumptions we believe that market participants use in pricing IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency MBS prices, our estimate of the fair value of the MSRs we expect to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will be purchased as a percentage of the commitment we have made (the “pull-through rate”). Changes in our estimate of the probability the loan will fund and changes in interest rates are updated as the mortgage loans move through the purchase process and may result in changes in the estimates of the value of the IRLCs. Such changes are reflected in the change in fair value of IRLCs in our gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale.

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

MSRs represent the value of a contract that obligates us to service mortgage loans on behalf of the purchaser of the loan in exchange for servicing fees and the right to collect certain ancillary income from the borrower. We recognize MSRs initially at our estimate of the fair value of the contract to service the loans. As discussed in Net loan servicing fees, below, how much of the MSR we realize in cash depends on how our initial estimates of the future cash flows accruing to the MSRs are realized. As economic fundamentals influencing the loans we sell with servicing rights retained change, our estimate of the fair value of MSRs will also change. As a result, we will record changes in fair value as a component of Net loan servicing fees for the MSRs we carry at fair value and we may recognize changes in fair value relating to our MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value depending on the relationship of the asset’s fair value to its carrying value at the measurement date.

(1) 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 LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.
(2) Annual total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total Conditional Prepayment (“CPR”).

We also provide for our estimate of the future losses that we may be required to incur as a result of our breach of representations and warranties provided to the purchasers of the loans we sold. 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, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to us 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 originator.

The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of estimated future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the potential 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.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repurchased mortgage loans with unpaid balances totaling $5.7 and $6.9 million respectively, and incurred no losses relating to such repurchases. However, as the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold season, we expect the level of repurchase activity to increase. As economic fundamentals change, and as investor and Agency evaluation of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change, which may be material to us.

The level of the recourse liability 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 loans. Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. We believe the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Our hedging activities relating to correspondent lending primarily involve forward sales of our IRLCs and mortgage loans acquired for sale as well as purchases of options to sell and options to purchase MBS.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent lenders relating to our purchase of loans from those lenders. The fees are charged to the correspondent lenders based on a fee schedule, whereby we charge standardized rates. The increase in fees during 2013 compared to 2012 is due to a change in production volume.

Investment Activities

Net Gain (Loss) on Investments

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized net gains on MBS, Agency debt security, mortgage loans and excess servicing spread totaling $49.1 million and $159.9 million, respectively. This compares to recognized net gains on investments totaling $26.1 million and $65.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The increase for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior periods is primarily due to valuation gains in our portfolio of mortgage loans, including mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements, reflecting continuing improvements in the performance of the residential real estate market. This appreciation was compounded by growth in our average investment in mortgage loans at fair value. The average portfolio balance of mortgage investments increased $805.7 million or 79%, and $476.3 million or 49%, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior periods.

Because we have elected to record our mortgage loans and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such loans results from changes in fair value. Valuation changes amounted to $41.9 million and $22.9 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $136.3 million and $50.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The valuation losses on performing loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 reflects the effects of capitalization of delinquent interest on loans we modify. When we capitalize interest in a loan modification, we increase the carrying value of the loan. However, the modification does not result in an immediate increase in the loan’s fair value. As a result, the interest income we recognize is offset by a valuation loss. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized interest totaling $13.2 million and $25.0 million, respectively. The valuation gains for the performing loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the nonperforming loans for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were due to observed market demand for distressed mortgage loans, continuing improvement in the residential real estate market and changes in the value of the loans as they move through the resolution process.

Cash is generated when mortgage loans and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements are monetized through payoffs or sales, when payments of principal and interest occur on such loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property has been sold. During the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we received proceeds from liquidation of mortgage loans and REO of $102.3 million and $82.9 million; and during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we received proceeds from liquidation of mortgage loans and REO totaling $300.1 million and $256.7 million, respectively. For these liquidations, we had recorded accumulated gains on the liquidated assets during the period we held those assets totaling $12.9 million and $4.6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $32.8 million and $13.7 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and we recorded additional gains of $8.9 million and $8.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and $31.0 million and $31.5 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, when the assets were liquidated.

During the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized gains on mortgage loan payoffs as summarized below:

Gain recognized at payoff

   $ 6,096       $ 3,649       $ 22,500       $ 14,986   

The increase in gains recognized at payoff for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was due to growth in our portfolio of mortgage loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Implementing long-term, sustainable loan modification is one means by which we strive to enhance the value of the distressed mortgage loans which we have typically purchased at discounts to their unpaid principal balance. Before the disruption of the mortgage securitization markets in 2008, an active market in securitizations of reperforming and modified mortgage loans existed. As a result of the disruptions that occurred in 2008, the market for securities backed by such loans has become highly illiquid. We continue to monitor and explore the market for securitizations backed by reperforming and modified mortgage loans as a means of recovering our investment in such loans in the future. However, this form of recovery of our investment in modified mortgage loans has not been a practical alternative for us through this date.

Unlike liquidation of a defaulted mortgage loan, we expect that recovery of our investment in a performing modified mortgage loan will take place generally over a period of several years, during which we earn and collect interest income on the loan. Our

current expectations are that we will receive cash on modified mortgage loans through monthly borrower payments, HAMP incentive payments, payoffs or acquisition of the property securing the loans and liquidation of the property in the event the borrower subsequently defaults. Due to the recent addition of new modification programs, both through HAMP and proprietary programs, trends in default performance are difficult to discern. However, the addition of these new modification programs has resulted in the volume of our modification activity increasing in the most recent quarter.

In addition, large-scale refinancing of modified mortgage loans is not expected to occur for an extended period. Borrowers who have recently modified their mortgage loans typically have credit profiles that do not qualify them for refinancing or have loans on properties whose loan-to-value ratios exceed current underwriting guidelines for new mortgage loans. Further, modified mortgage loans require a period of acceptable borrower performance, generally 12 months of timely mortgage payments, for consideration in most Agency refinance programs.

However, certain programs such as the FHA’s Negative Equity Refinance Program allow homeowners whose modified mortgage amount exceeds the value of the property securing the loan to refinance immediately following a modification. Our utilization of this program has increased in 2013, as indicated by the increase in payoffs of modified loans both on a quarterly and nine-month comparative basis. We continue to explore methods of accelerating recovery of our investment of modified mortgage loans through solicitations of refinancings of such loans into Agency-eligible loans which result in a full or partial repayment of our investment.

During the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recognized gains on MBS of $493,000, net of hedging losses, relating to purchases of MBS totaling $199.6 million during the third quarter of 2013. The gains we recorded arose due to decreases in market yields on MBS at the end of the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2013, we also purchased an Agency debt security. We recorded gains on that security totaling $578,000 during the quarter. We sold that security during the month of October 2013 and recognized an additional gain of $140,000 on the sale. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a net valuation gain on MBS totaling $493,000. This compares to a loss of $0.5 million and a gain of $0.6 million during the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.

In the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we earned interest income of $35.3 million and $79.0 million, respectively, compared to $19.7 million and $52.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

We earned interest income on our portfolio of Agency MBS totaling $345,000 for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013. During the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recognized interest income totaling $502,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, on our portfolio of Non-Agency MBS. The interest income we recognized on MBS during 2013 represents interest we earned on the securities we purchased during the third quarter, whereas the interest income we recognized on MBS during the 2012 periods reflect interest income we earned through the date of sale during the third quarter of 2012.

In the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized interest income on mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value of $21.9 million and $49.8 million, including $13.2 million and $25.0 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications respectively, which compares to $13.0 million and $37.9 million, including $3.4 million and $16.4 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications, respectively, in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increases in interest income are due primarily to growth in the average balance of our mortgage loan portfolio of $781.1 million and $541.3 million, or 87% and 67%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized annualized interest on mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value of 5.24% and 4.93%, respectively, on our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value as measured by the portfolio’s average fair value. This compares to 5.71% and 6.19% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in yield during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 is due primarily to the decrease in the weighted average coupon of performing mortgage loans and the increase in the proportion of nonperforming loans in our portfolio. At September 30, 2013, our investment in performing mortgage loans had a weighted average coupon of 4.09% compared to 4.17% at September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2013, approximately 74% of the fair value of our mortgage loan portfolio was nonperforming, as compared to 66% at September 30, 2012. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming loans and generally do not recognize revenues during the period we hold REO. We calculate the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio based on the portfolio’s average fair value, which most closely reflects our investment in the mortgage loans. Accordingly, the yield we realize is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the loans’ unpaid balances as we typically purchase our mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their unpaid principal balances.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred interest expense totaling $19.5 million and $44.9 million, respectively, as compared to $8.3 million and $21.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our interest cost on interest bearing liabilities was 3.41% and 2.90%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 3.62% and 3.52%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense reflects our increased use of borrowings in support of growth of our balance sheet throughout 2012 and 2013 along with the addition of $250.0 million in exchangeable senior notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Nonperforming loans and REO generally take longer to generate cash flow than performing loans due to the time required to work with borrowers to resolve payment issues through our modification programs and to acquire and liquidate the property securing the mortgage loans. The value and returns we realize from these assets are determined by our ability to cure the borrowers’ defaults, or when curing of borrower defaults is not a viable solution, by our ability to effectively manage the liquidation process. As a participant in HAMP, we are required to comply with the process specified by the HAMP program before liquidating a loan, and this may extend the liquidation process. At September 30, 2013, we held $1.5 billion in fair value of nonperforming loans and $99.7 million in carrying value of REO.

Net Loan Servicing Fees

When we sell mortgage loans, we generally enter into a contract to service the mortgage loans and recognize the value of such contracts as MSRs. Under these contracts, we are required to perform loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and the right to other compensation. The servicing functions, which are performed on our behalf by PLS, typically include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.

Our servicing fees increased $10.5 million and $30.9 million, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2012 due to the growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Correspondent lending activity—presently the primary source of our mortgage loan servicing portfolio—began to increase in the fourth quarter of 2011. As a result, our mortgage loan servicing portfolio during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was much smaller than during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement that requires PLS to transfer to us the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in refinancing transactions where PLS refinances a mortgage loan for which we previously held the MSRs. PLS is generally required to transfer MSRs relating to such mortgage loans (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. Where the fair value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, settle in cash with PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such MSRs. We recognized approximately $86,000 and $586,000, respectively, of such income during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Amortization, impairment and changes in fair value of MSRs have a significant effect on net loan servicing fees, driven primarily by our monthly re-estimation of the fair value of MSRs. As our investment in MSRs grows, we expect that the effect of amortization, impairment and changes in fair value will have an increasing influence on our net income. The fair value of MSRs is difficult to determine because MSRs are not actively traded in standalone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect our income.

Our MSR valuation process combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value at each balance sheet date. The cash flow and prepayment assumptions used in the Manager’s discounted cash flow model are based on market factors and include the historical performance of its MSRs, which the Manager believes are consistent with assumptions and data used by market participants valuing similar MSRs. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. These variables can, and generally do, change from period to period as market conditions change. Therefore our estimate of the fair value of MSRs changes from period to period. PCM’s valuation committee reviews and approves the fair value estimates of our MSRs.

We account for MSRs at either our estimate of the asset’s fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings or using the amortization method with the MSRs carried at the lower of estimated amortized cost or fair value based on whether we view the underlying mortgages as being sensitive to prepayments resulting from changing market interest rates. We have identified an initial mortgage interest rate of 4.5% as the threshold for whether such mortgage loans are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

 

    Our risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values.

 

    For MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% that were acquired as a result of our correspondent lending operations, we have concluded that such assets present different risks than MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Our risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ values. We have identified these assets for accounting using the amortization method.

(1) The effect on value of an adverse change in one of the following key inputs may result in recognition of MSR impairment. The extent of impairment recognized will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of MSRs.
(2) 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 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.

Significant changes to any of the key assumptions shown above in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key assumptions are not necessarily directly related. The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes in the variables in relation to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not take into account other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by the Manager to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Results of Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

Results of REO includes the gains or losses we record upon sale of the properties as well as valuation adjustments we record during the period we hold those properties. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded net losses of $2.3 million and $7.5 million in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans as compared to net gains totaling $1.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2012.

The shift in results of REO from a gain during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to a loss during the quarter and nine months ended September  30, 2013 was largely due to valuation adjustments on several large REO properties.

Increased expenses during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 were primarily a result of the substantial growth in our equity, our correspondent lending activities and the Company’s investment portfolio.

Loan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PLS for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans purchased. Loan fulfillment fees and related fulfillment volume are summarized below:

   $ 3,681,771       $ 2,488,443       $ 12,792,482       $ 4,828,117  

The increases of $1.1 million and $37.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 are due to the growth in the volume of Agency-eligible and jumbo mortgage loans we purchased in our correspondent lending activities that continued from 2012 through the second quarter of 2013. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the mortgage market has been contracting in response to rising interest rates. Accordingly, our correspondent lending volume has also decreased during the third quarter of 2013 from the levels observed during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Loan servicing fees increased from $4.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $10.7 million and $27.3 million, respectively, in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as our average investment in mortgage loans increased by 87% and 67%, respectively, from the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and our servicing portfolio increased 291% from $6.1 billion at September 30, 2012 to $23.7 billion at September 30, 2013. Included in loan servicing fees are activity-based fees, which increased by $2.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, generally relating to the increase in loan liquidation activities.

Management fees increased by $4.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively, in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, due to the combined effect of growth in shareholders’ equity on the base management fee we pay to PCM combined with recognition of performance incentive fees in 2013 which we did not incur in 2012. The increase in performance incentive fees resulted in part from a change in our management agreement with PCM. Effective February 1, 2013, the management agreement was amended to adjust the basis on which both the base management fee and performance incentive fee are determined. Specifically, we amended:

 

    The base management fee rate from 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity to a base management fee schedule based on tiered management fee rates beginning with a rate of 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity for the first $2.0 billion of shareholders’ equity and reduced rates as the balance of shareholders’ equity increases. Our shareholders’ equity did not reach a level that would have resulted in a reduced base management fee rate.

 

    The definition of “net income” for purposes of determining the performance incentive fee to net income as determined in compliance with U.S. GAAP. Previously, “net income” for purposes of determining the performance incentive fee began with net income as determined in compliance with U.S. GAAP and made adjustments for non-cash gains and losses included in our income. Partly as a result of this change, we recognized $3.4 million and $9.4 million in performance incentive fees during the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2013.

We expect our management fees to fluctuate in the future based on: (1) changes in our shareholders’ equity with respect to our base management fee; and (2) the level of our profitability in excess of the return thresholds specified in our management agreement with respect to the performance incentive fee.

Professional services expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the heightened level of mortgage investment acquisition activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, which requires support in the form of due diligence and legal consultations.

Other expense items increased commensurately with increased business activity and asset growth.

Income Taxes

We had elected to treat two of our subsidiaries as TRSs. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we revoked the election to treat our wholly owned subsidiary that is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership as a TRS. As a result, beginning September 1, 2012 only PMC is treated as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions have been made to date.

A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC and, for the period for which TRS treatment had been elected, the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

In general, cash dividends declared by us will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

Below is a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP year to date net income to taxable income and the allocation of taxable income between the TRS and the REIT:

Total assets increased by approximately $1.7 billion or 66% during the period from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013. Growth in total assets reflects growth of investments totaling $1.6 billion or 66% from December 31, 2012. We financed our asset growth through additional borrowings of $1.4 billion resulting in an increase of 109% compared to December 31, 2012. Net mortgage loan investments (excluding correspondent lending loans) increased by $1.4 billion or 120% compared to December 31, 2012. The increase is related to purchases of $1.0 billion and fair valuation changes of $158.8 million partially offset by repayments of $201.9 million during the period. The valuation changes resulted from growth in our portfolio of mortgage investments along with continuing improvements in the performance of the residential real estate market and fair value appreciation of the loans as they progress toward their ultimate resolution. Through our correspondent lending activities, we also purchased newly-originated mortgage loans totaling $26.0 billion. Our acquisitions are summarized below.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased for sale $8.2 billion and $26.0 billion, respectively, in fair value of correspondent lending loans compared to $6.6 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively, in fair value of correspondent lending loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of our acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we transferred $550.5 million in fair value of jumbo loans to our investment portfolio in a financing transaction whereby we issued approximately $170 million in securities to finance such loans and financed the remaining retained securities through our repurchase agreement. The increase in correspondent purchases is a result of our growing correspondent seller network relationships and bulk purchase of fixed-rate jumbo loans totaling $379.1 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our correspondent lending volume began to decrease as a result of rising interest rates which had the effect of reducing consumer demand for mortgage loans.

Our ability to continue the expansion of our correspondent lending business is subject to, among other factors, our ability to source additional mortgage loan volume, our ability to obtain additional inventory financing and our ability to fund the portion of the loans not financed, either through cash flows from business activities or the raising of additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in increasing our borrowing capacity or in obtaining the additional equity capital necessary or that we will be able to identify additional sources of mortgage loans.

(1) Performance status as of the date of acquisition.
(2) All of our distressed asset purchases during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.

Our acquisitions during the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were financed primarily through the use of borrowings. We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment activities portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

The collateral values presented above do not represent our assessment of the amount of future cash flows to be realized from the mortgage loans and/or underlying collateral. Future cash flows will be influenced by, among other considerations, our asset disposition strategies with respect to individual loans, the costs and expenses we incur in the disposition process, changes in borrower performance and the underlying collateral values.

Collateral values summarized above are estimated and may change over time due to various factors including our level of access to the properties securing the loans, changes in the real estate market or the condition of individual properties. Collateral values noted do not include any costs that would typically be incurred in obtaining the property in settlement of the loan, readying the property for sale or in the sale of a property.

(1) Current loan-to-value is calculated based on the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan and our estimate of the value of the mortgaged property.

We believe that our current fair value estimates are representative of fair value at the reporting date. However, the market for distressed mortgage assets is illiquid with very few market participants. Furthermore, our business strategy is to enhance value during the period in which the loans are held. Therefore, any resulting appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the loans is recorded during such holding period and ultimately realized at the end of the holding period.

(1) With respect to MBS, key inputs are those used to evaluate broker indications of value.
(2) Prepayment speed is measured using one year Voluntary CPR.
(3) Default speed is measured using one year Constant Default Rate (“CDR”).
(4) The projected future losses of the underlying collateral of the security.
(5) Prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary CPR.
(6) Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.
(7) For indications of value received, PCM’s FAV Group and Capital Markets staff review the price indications provided by non-affiliate brokers for completeness, accuracy and consistency across all similar bonds managed by PCM. Bond-level analytics such as yield, weighted average life and projected prepayment and default speeds of the underlying collateral are computed. The reasonableness of the brokers’ indications of value and of changes in value from period to period is evaluated in light of the analytical review performed and considering market conditions. The review of the Capital Markets and FAV Group is reported to PCM’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results. PCM has not adjusted, and does not intend to adjust, its fair value estimates to amounts different than the brokers’ indications of value.

We monitor and value our investments in pools of distressed mortgage loans either by acquisition date or by payment status of the loans. Most of the measures we use to value and monitor the loan portfolio, such as projected prepayment and default speeds and discount rates, are applied or output at the pool level. The characteristics of the individual loans, such as loan size, loan-to-value ratio and current delinquency status, can vary widely within a pool.

The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 13.1% at December 31, 2012 to 11.8% at September 30, 2013 as market participant expected returns for similar assets decreased during the period and we acquired pools of mortgage loans with lower discount rates.

The weighted average twelve-month projected housing price index (“HPI”) change increased from 1.1% at December 31, 2012 to 3.7% at September 30, 2013 due to improvements observed in the residential housing sector increasing the expectation of positive home price appreciation.

The total prepayment speed of our mortgage loans at fair value portfolio increased from 20.6% at December 31, 2012 to 23.5% at September 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the proportion of nonperforming loans in the portfolio.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash of $66.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due to cash provided through our financing activities exceeding cash used in our operating and investing activities. Cash used by operating activities totaled $432.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $662.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to growth in our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale.

Table of Contents

Net cash used by investing activities was $759.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This use of cash reflects the growth of our investment portfolio. We used cash to purchase MBS totaling $199.6 million and mortgage loans with fair values of $779.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Offsetting this use in cash were cash inflows from repayments of mortgage loans and sales of REO totaling $201.9 million and $98.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash used by investing activities totaled $54.5 million primarily due to cash used for purchases of $411.4 million of mortgage loans at fair value and $112.2 million of MBS exceeding cash flows from repayments, sales and liquidations of our investments of $496.0 million.

Approximately 50% of our investments, comprised of short-term investments, non-correspondent lending mortgage loans, REO and MSRs, were nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets include mortgage loans delinquent 90 or more days and REO. Accordingly, we expect that these assets will require a longer period to produce cash flow and the timing and amount of cash flows from these assets is less certain than for performing assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we transferred $120.4 million of mortgage loans to REO and realized cash proceeds from the sales and repayments of mortgage loans at fair values and REO totaling $201.9 million and $98.2 million, respectively.

Our investing activities include the purchase of long-term assets which are not presently cash flowing or are at risk of interruption of cash flows in the near future. Furthermore, much of the investment income we recognize is in the form of valuation adjustments we record recognizing our estimates of the net appreciation in value of the assets as we work with borrowers to either modify their loans or acquire the property securing their loans in settlement thereof. Accordingly, the cash associated with a substantial portion of our revenues is often realized as part of the proceeds of the liquidation of the assets, either through payoff or sale of the mortgage loan or through acquisition and sale of the property securing the loans, many months after we record the revenues.

The following table illustrates the net gain (loss) in value that we accumulated over the period during which we owned the liquidated assets, as compared to the proceeds actually received and the additional net gain (loss) realized upon liquidation of such assets:

Table of Contents

Accumulated gains include the amount of accumulated valuation gains and losses recognized throughout the holding period—which may be substantial depending on the collection status of the loan at acquisition and on our success in working with the borrower to resolve the source of distress in the loan—and in the case of REO, includes direct transaction costs incurred in the sale of the property. Accordingly, the preceding amounts do not represent periodic earnings on a cash basis and the amount of gain will have accumulated over varying periods depending on the holding periods and liquidation speed for individual assets.

The primary expenses incurred at a loan level in managing our portfolio of distressed assets are servicing and activity fees. From the time of acquisition of the distressed assets through their liquidation dates, we incurred servicing and activity fees of $3.0 million for assets liquidated during the quarter ended September 30, 2013; $2.5 million for assets liquidated during the quarter ended September 30, 2012; and $9.0 million and $6.6 million for assets liquidated during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We do not allocate other costs of managing our assets at a loan level.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, during which we completed an underwritten offering of our common shares, increased borrowings through the issuance of long-term debt in the form of exchangeable senior notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2020, the sale of a portion of our securities backed by our investment in jumbo mortgage loans and increased borrowings in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase. We increased borrowings primarily for the purpose of financing growth in our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans at fair value and acquisition of MSRs through our loan sale activity. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continues to evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity.

We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash flows from the liquidation of our investments, which include accumulated gains recorded during the periods we hold those investments, along with our cash earnings, are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment requirements. However, as our business continues to grow, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including the purchase of loans from correspondent lenders, our operating expenses and, when applicable, retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt and derivatives positions), make investments as our Manager identifies them and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities.

We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be proceeds from liquidations from our portfolio of distressed assets, cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We do not expect repayments from contractual cash flows from our investments to be a primary source of liquidity as the majority of our distressed asset investments are nonperforming. Our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans was acquired with the expectation that the majority of the cash flows associated with this investment would result from liquidation of the property securing the loan, rather than from scheduled principal payments. Our mortgage loans acquired for sale are generally held by the Company for fifteen days or less, and therefore are not expected to generate significant cash flows from principal repayments.

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent and appropriate. We have made borrowings in the form of borrowings under forward purchase agreements, sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, and a note payable secured by mortgage loans at fair value. We have entered into two long-term financing agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. To the extent available to us, we expect in the future to obtain long-term financing for assets with estimated future lives of more than one year; this may include term financing and securitization of performing (including newly purchased jumbo mortgage loans), nonperforming and/or reperforming mortgage loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed two long term financing transactions:

 

    In April, we completed an offering of $250.0 million of exchangeable senior notes due 2020, issued in a private offering. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semiannually. The exchange rate initially equals 33.5149 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $29.84 per common share). The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes will mature May 1, 2020, unless repurchased or exchanged in accordance with their terms before such date.

 

   

In September, we financed $550.5 million of jumbo loans through a private-label securitization transaction. We sold $174.5 million of senior bonds backed by the loans and retained the remaining securities from the transaction, with a portion intended

as long-term investments. We intend to sell a portion of the securities in the future as market conditions for private-label securities improve. We do not have plans to do additional financings through private-label securitizations until market conditions for such transactions improve.

We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until the markets for long-term financing improve. Our short-term financings will be primarily in the form of agreements to repurchase and other secured lending and structured finance facilities, pending the ultimate disposition of the assets, whether through sale, securitization or liquidation. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consist 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 assets together with agreements for us to buy back the assets at a later date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase securities, mortgage loans, mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans held by variable interest entity and REO totaled $1.5 billion, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $2.6 billion. The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding was due to our use of proceeds from the senior exchangeable note and equity offerings to temporarily reduce our borrowings until those proceeds could be reinvested. The total facility size of our borrowings was approximately $2.9 billion at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we financed our investments in MBS, mortgage loans at fair value and REO, and our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, under agreements to repurchase and forward purchase agreements as follows:

As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements and forward purchase agreements have short-term maturities:

 

    The transactions relating to mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase mature between November 19, 2013 and the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any date of determination, and provide for sale to major financial institution counterparties based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans sold. The agreements provide for terms of approximately one year.

 

    The transactions relating to REO are secured financings that mature on the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any date of determination, and provide for sale to a major financial institution counterparty at advance rates based on the estimated fair value of the REO.

Our debt financing agreements require us and certain of our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants. As of the filing of this Report, these financial covenants currently include the following:

 

    profitability at each of the Company and three of our subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership, PMC and PennyMac Holdings, LLC (f/k/a PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust Holdings I, LLC (“PMH”)), for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and at our subsidiary, PMC, for both the prior two (2) calendar quarters and the prior three (3) calendar quarters;

 

    a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among the Company and/or our subsidiaries; a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries; a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents between PMC and PMH; and a minimum of $10 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at each of PMC and PMH;

 

    a minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $860 million; a minimum tangible net worth for the Operating Partnership of $700 million; a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million; and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $150 million;

 

92


Table of Contents
    a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 3:1 for the Company, 10:1 for PMC and 5:1 for the Operating Partnership and PMH;

 

    a maximum ratio of indebtedness related to other than newly originated mortgage loans to tangible net worth of less than 3:1 for PMC; and

 

    at least two warehouse or repurchase facilities that finance amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements.

Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur and impact 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.

PLS is also subject to various financial covenants, both as a borrower under its own financing arrangements and as the servicer under certain of our debt financing agreements. 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 $90 million; and

 

    a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1.

Our transactions relating to securities sold under agreements to repurchase contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or additional securities 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 an agreement to repurchase, although in some instances we may agree with the lender upon certain thresholds (in dollar amounts or percentages based on the market value of the assets) that must be exceeded before a margin deficit will arise. 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.

The transactions relating to mortgage loans and/or equity interests in special purpose entities holding real property under agreements to repurchase contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or additional mortgage loans or real property, as applicable, 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 an agreement to repurchase. 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.

Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful. Further, counterparty credit sensitivity and collateral documentation requirements have made it difficult to obtain financing for REO, the result of which could place stress on our capital and liquidity positions at certain times during the foreclosure cycles of the related nonperforming loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

As of September 30, 2013, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2013, we had on-balance sheet contractual obligations of $2.2 billion for the financing of assets under agreements to repurchase with maturities between November 19, 2013 and the earlier to occur of October 31, 2014 or the rolling maturity date that is 364 days from any date of determination, as well as forward purchase agreements with maturities between June 16, 2014 and June 30, 2014. We also had contractual obligations of $250.0 million in exchangeable senior notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2020.

As of September 30, 2013, we had contractual obligations to purchase mortgage loans for resale totaling approximately $642.0 million and mortgage loans at fair value totaling approximately $316.8 million. Of the $642.0 million in commitments to purchase mortgage loans for resale, we recorded IRLCs of $11.5 million on our balance sheet as assets under the caption Derivative assets and $30 thousand as liabilities under the caption Derivative liabilities.

All agreements to repurchase assets that matured between September 30, 2013 and the date of this Report have been renewed, extended or repaid and are described in Note 17—Mortgage Loans Acquired for Sale Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Note 18—Mortgage Loans at Fair Value Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Note 19—Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans Financed Under Agreements to Repurchase in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Management Agreement. We are externally managed and advised by our Manager pursuant to a management agreement, which was amended and restated effective February 1, 2013. Our management agreement requires our Manager to oversee our business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by our Board. Our Manager is responsible for our day-to-day management and will perform such services and activities related to our assets and operations as may be appropriate.

Pursuant to our management agreement, our Manager collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee, both payable quarterly and in arrears. The term of our management 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.

The base management fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of “shareholders’ equity.” Our “shareholders’ equity” is defined as the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of our equity securities since our inception (weighted for the time outstanding during the measurement period); plus our retained earnings at the end of the quarter; less any amount that we pay for repurchases of our common shares (weighted for the time held during the measurement period); and excluding one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees.

Pursuant to our management agreement, the base management fee is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per annum of shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per annum of shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per annum of shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. The base management fee is paid in cash.

The performance incentive fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.” 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 GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees. For this purpose, “equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of our public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the four-quarter period.

 

94


Table of Contents

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and escalates as net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) increases over certain thresholds. On each calculation date, the threshold amounts represent a stated return on equity, plus or minus a “high watermark” adjustment. The performance fee payable for any quarter is equal to: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.

The high watermark starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. The quarterly adjustment reflects the amount by which the net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the Fannie Mae MBS Yield (the target yield) for such quarter. If the net income is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for our Manager to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of our 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 performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or in our common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at our option.

Under our management agreement, our Manager is entitled to reimbursement of its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on our behalf. Our Manager may also be entitled to a termination fee under certain circumstances. Specifically, the termination fee is payable for (1) our termination of our management agreement without cause, (2) our Manager’s termination of our management agreement upon a default by us in the performance of any material term of the agreement that has continued uncured for a period of 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof or (3) our Manager’s termination of the agreement after the termination by us without cause (excluding a non-renewal) of our MBWS agreement, our MSR recapture agreement, or our servicing agreement (each as described and/or defined below). The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee and (b) the average annual (or, if the period is less than 24 months, annualized) performance incentive fee, in each case earned by our Manager during the 24-month period before termination.

Our management agreement also provides that, prior to the undertaking by our Manager or its affiliates of any new investment opportunity or any other business opportunity requiring a source of capital with respect to which our Manager or its affiliates will earn a management, advisory, consulting or similar fee, our Manager shall present to us such new opportunity and the material terms on which our Manager proposes to provide services to us before pursuing such opportunity with third parties.

Servicing Agreement. We have entered into a servicing agreement with our Servicer pursuant to which our Servicer provides servicing for our portfolio of residential mortgage loans. The loan servicing provided by our Servicer includes collecting principal, interest and escrow account payments, if any, with respect to mortgage loans, as well as managing loss mitigation, which may include, among other things, collection activities, loan workouts, modifications, foreclosures and short sales. Our Servicer also engages in certain loan origination activities that include refinancing mortgage loans and financings that facilitate sales of real estate owned properties, or REOs. The term of our servicing 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 agreement.

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

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

Except as otherwise provided in our MSR recapture agreement, when our Servicer effects a refinancing of a loan on our behalf and not through a third-party lender and the resulting loan is readily saleable, or our Servicer originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of the real estate acquired by us in settlement of a loan, our Servicer is entitled to receive from us market-based fees and compensation consistent with pricing and terms our Servicer offers unaffiliated third parties on a retail basis.

To the extent that our Servicer participates in HAMP (or other similar mortgage loan modification programs), our Servicer is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP, provided that, with respect to any incentive payments paid to our Servicer in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which we previously paid our Servicer a modification fee, our Servicer is required to reimburse us an amount equal to the incentive payments.

Table of Contents

In addition, because we do not have any employees or infrastructure, our Servicer is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, our Servicer receives a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and $3.25 per month for each other subserviced loan. Our Servicer is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, bona fide reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our Servicer in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

Mortgage Banking and Warehouse Services Agreement. We have also entered into a mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement (the “MBWS agreement”), pursuant to which our Servicer provides us with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, with respect to loans acquired by us from correspondent lenders, and certain warehouse lending services, including fulfillment and administrative services, with respect to loans financed by us for our warehouse lending clients. The term of our 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.

Under our MBWS agreement, our Servicer has agreed to provide the mortgage banking services exclusively for our benefit, and our Servicer and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party. However, such exclusivity and prohibition shall not apply, and certain other duties instead will be imposed upon our Servicer, if we are unable to purchase or finance mortgage loans as contemplated under our MBWS agreement for any reason.

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by our Servicer with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans, our Servicer is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that we acquire and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Presently, the applicable percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans sold in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, (iii) 0.80% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 105% or less, (iv) 1.20% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above; provided, however, that PLS may, in its 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 was funded.

At this time, we do not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under our MBWS agreement, our Servicer currently purchases loans saleable in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from us at our cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points.

In the event that we purchase mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $2.5 billion, our Servicer has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing us an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.025%, and (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $2.5 billion and less than or equal to $5.0 billion, plus (b) the product of (i) 0.05%, and (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $5 billion.

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

Notwithstanding any provision of our MBWS agreement to the contrary, if it becomes reasonably necessary or advisable for our Servicer to engage in additional services in connection with post-breach or post-default resolution activities for the purposes of a correspondent lending agreement, a warehouse agreement or a re-warehouse agreement, then we have generally agreed with our Servicer to negotiate in good faith for additional compensation and reimbursement of expenses to be paid to our Servicer for the performance of such additional services.

MSR Recapture Agreement. Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement with our Servicer. Pursuant to the terms of our MSR recapture agreement, if our Servicer refinances via its retail lending business loans for which we previously held the mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, our Servicer is generally required to transfer and convey to us, without cost to us, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. Where the fair market value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, our Servicer may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such MSRs. The initial term of our MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

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

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

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 real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk. A substantial portion of our investments are comprised of nonperforming loans. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the fair value of the real estate securing such loans.
