CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may also be made in other documents filed or furnished with the SEC or may be made orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others.

 

Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent only our current beliefs regarding future events. All forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Such statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could.” Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

 

▪

our expectations related to our strategic actions, their outcomes or the timing of any such actions, including our proposed Merger with Ocwen Financial Corporation ("Ocwen"), our estimates of transaction proceeds, operating losses and exit costs, the amount, timing and our expected use of any proceeds, and any other anticipated impacts on our results, client and counterparty relationships, debt arrangements, employee relations or expected value to shareholders;

▪	our projected financial results and expected capital structure for the remaining business after executing our strategic actions based on our assessment of the market for subservicing and portfolio retention services, our business strategy, our competitive position and our ability to execute;

▪	the method, amounts and timing of any capital returns to shareholders;

▪	the potential results of our subservicing business development efforts and actions to improve portfolio retention results;

▪	anticipated future origination volumes and loan margins in the mortgage industry;

▪	our expectations of the impacts of regulatory changes on our business;

▪	our assessment of legal and regulatory proceedings, other contingencies and reserves, and the associated impact on our financial statements and liquidity position; and

▪	the impact of the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our financial statements.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and discussed in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2017 Form 10-K and those factors described below: 

▪	the effects of our strategic actions, and any associated transactions, on our business, management resources, customer, counterparty and employee relationships, capital structure and financial position;

▪	our ability to execute and complete our remaining strategic actions and implement changes to meet our operational and financial objectives, including (i) restructuring our shared services platform; (ii) achieving our growth objectives and assumptions and (iii) meeting all of the closing conditions and completing our proposed Merger with Ocwen;

▪

any failure to execute any portion of the sales of private MSRs under our existing agreements, or realize estimated proceeds from the transactions, which may be driven by the following reasons, among other factors: (i) not receiving required private loan investor, trustees and/or client (originations source) approvals; (ii) changes in the composition of the portfolio and related servicing advances outstanding on each sale date; and (iii) not meeting any other conditions precedent to closing, as defined in the respective agreements;

▪	available excess cash from our strategic actions is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the execution of the sale of our private MSRs, the resolution of our outstanding legal and regulatory matters and the successful completion of other restructuring and capital management activities, including any unsecured debt repayments, in accordance with our assumptions;

▪	the effects of any significant reduction in subservicing units, whether by termination of our subservicing agreements or by transfers of units out of our portfolio, by any of our largest subservicing clients on a material portion of our subservicing portfolio;

Table of Contents

▪	the ability to maintain our relationships with our existing clients, including our ability to comply with the terms of our private label and subservicing client agreements and any related service level agreements;

▪	the inability or unwillingness of any of the counterparties to our significant customer contracts, hedging agreements, or financing arrangements to perform their respective obligations under such contracts, or to renew on terms favorable to us, if at all;

▪	the effects of market volatility or macroeconomic changes and financial market regulations on the availability and cost of our financing arrangements, the value of our assets and the housing market;

▪	the effects of changes in current interest rates on our business, the value of our mortgage servicing rights and our financing costs;

▪	the impact of changes in U.S. financial conditions and fiscal and monetary policies, or any actions taken or to be taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the credit markets and the U.S. economy;

▪	the effects of any significant adverse changes in the underwriting criteria or the existence or programs of government-sponsored entities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including any changes caused by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other actions of the federal government;

▪	the ability to maintain our status as a government sponsored entity-approved seller and servicer, including the ability to continue to comply with the respective selling and servicing guides, our ability to operationalize changes necessary to comply with updates to such guides and programs and our ability to maintain the required minimum capital;

▪	the effects of changes in, or our failure to comply with, laws and regulations, including mortgage- and real estate-related laws and regulations and those that we are exposed to through our private label relationships until the complete exit from this business channel;

▪	the effects of the outcome or resolutions of any inquiries, investigations or appeals related to our mortgage origination or servicing activities, any litigation related to our mortgage origination or servicing activities, or any related fines, penalties and increased costs, and the associated impact on our liquidity;

▪	the ability to obtain or renew financing on acceptable terms, if at all, to finance our mortgage loans held for sale and servicing advances;

▪	the ability to operate within the limitations imposed by our financing arrangements and to maintain or generate the amount of cash required to service our indebtedness and operate our business;

▪	any failure to comply with covenants or asset eligibility requirements under our financing arrangements; and

▪	the effects of any failure in or breach of our technology infrastructure, or those of our outsource providers, or any failure to implement changes to our information systems in a manner sufficient to comply with applicable laws, regulations and our contractual obligations.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  Factors and assumptions discussed above, and other factors not identified above, may have an impact on the continued accuracy of any forward-looking statements that we make. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, “PHH” or the “Company”) operates in two business segments:  Mortgage Servicing, which acts as a subservicer for clients that own the underlying mortgage servicing rights and performs servicing activities for owned mortgage servicing rights, and Mortgage Production, which provides portfolio origination retention services to subservicing clients and sells the related mortgage loans in the secondary market.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company completed substantially all of the run-off activities of the Private Label Services ("PLS") business and Real Estate channel, and the Company determined the disposal of these operations by other than sale met the criteria for presentation and disclosure as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the PLS business and Real Estate channel have been presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), and are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations have been segregated in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash flows related to these operations have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. Amounts related to discontinued operations are excluded from the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 8, 'Discontinued Operations' for additional information.

The Mortgage Servicing segment has exposure to concentration risk and client retention risk with respect to its subservicing agreements. As of June 30, 2018, 62% and 12% of the subservicing portfolio (by units) related to significant client relationships with New Residential Mortgage, LLC ("New Residential") and Pingora Loan Servicing, LLC, respectively. A substantial portion of the Company's subservicing agreements allow the owners of the servicing to terminate the subservicing agreement without cause with respect to some or all of the subserviced loans and, in some cases, without payment of any termination fee.  Specifically, New Residential has the right to transfer, without cause but upon payment of the applicable deboarding fee, 25% of their subserviced units between June 2018 and June 2019 and an additional 25% of the subserviced units beginning in June 2019.

During the first half of 2018, the Company was notified by certain subservicing clients that they expect to transfer approximately 140,000 subservicing units, or 22% of our unit count at December 31, 2017, off of our platform in multiple transfers beginning in May 2018. Approximately 65,000 of these units are subject to a portfolio defense agreement and will no longer be solicitable units upon transfer to a new servicer. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed the transfer of approximately 45,000 of these units, substantially all of which were subject to a portfolio defense agreement, and the remaining units are expected to be transferred off of our platform during the second half of 2018.

The originations of the Mortgage Production segment are sourced solely through portfolio retention services, which is limited to a small group of key clients primarily associated with the significant subservicing client relationships described above. The portfolio defense agreements cease upon the termination of the related client subservicing relationship, or as units transfer out of our subservicing portfolio to a new servicer.

Proposed Merger with Ocwen Financial Corporation

On February 27, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), and POMS Corp (“MergerSub”) pursuant to which all of PHH’s outstanding common stock will be acquired by Ocwen in a merger of MergerSub with and into PHH with PHH surviving (the “Merger”) in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $360 million. On June 11, 2018, the Company's stockholders approved the Merger. The Merger remains subject to, in addition to various other customary closing conditions, state licensing, and other governmental and regulatory approvals and PHH maintaining cash and adjusted net worth above certain thresholds.

Basis of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of PHH and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. PHH Home Loans, LLC (“PHH Home Loans”) and its subsidiaries are consolidated within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Realogy Services Venture Partner LLC's, a subsidiary of Realogy Holdings Corp. ("Realogy"), ownership interest was presented as a noncontrolling interest. On March 19, 2018, the Company acquired Realogy’s 49.9% ownership interests, and PHH Home Loans became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PHH. As of June 30, 2018, the Company's only variable interest entity relates to the Servicing Advance Receivables Trust. Refer to Note 12, 'Variable Interest Entities' for additional information.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error in the balance sheet presentation and measurement of Redeemable noncontrolling interests. Realogy’s ownership interests in PHH Home Loans have previously been reported as a Noncontrolling interest and presented as a component of Total equity; however, the Company has determined the balance should have been presented as a Redeemable noncontrolling interest within Mezzanine equity for periods between February 1, 2015 and September 30, 2017. This presentation reflects Realogy’s right, beginning on February 1, 2015, to require that the Company purchase all of Realogy’s interest in PHH Home Loans upon two years notice at fair value, as outlined in the PHH Home Loans Operating Agreement. In addition, since the redemption value of the Redeemable noncontrolling interest exceeded the historical carrying amount, the correction also includes an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital to re-measure the Redeemable noncontrolling interest at its redemption value.

The Company has evaluated the materiality of this error on its prior period financial statements from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. Management has concluded that the error was not material to any prior annual or interim period or the trend of financial results; therefore, amendments to previously filed reports are not required. The Company has corrected the error for certain prior periods presented by revising the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing herein. The impact of this revision to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity was a reduction to Total equity of $32 million as of June 30, 2017, with an offsetting increase to amounts presented as a Redeemable noncontrolling interest within Mezzanine equity. The reduction to Total equity included a decrease to amounts previously reported as Additional paid-in capital of $9 million as of June 30, 2017. There was no effect to reported totals for assets, liabilities, cash flows or net loss.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K.

 

Unless otherwise noted and except for share and per share data, dollar amounts presented within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in millions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those related to the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and the related secured liability, mortgage loans held for sale and other financial instruments, the estimation of liabilities for commitments and contingencies, mortgage loan repurchases and indemnifications and the determination of certain income tax assets and liabilities and associated valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Period

ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all of the related amendments (the “new revenue standard”) using a modified retrospective approach applied to contracts which were not completed as of the adoption date. The core principle of the new revenue standard requires a Company to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

A majority of the Company's revenues are not subject to the new revenue standard. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, and the transition adjustment was not significant. Beginning on January 1, 2018, the results for reporting periods are presented under ASC 606 for

contracts subject to the new revenue standard, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting standards in effect during those periods. Refer to Note 3, 'Revenues' for additional information.

ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash." On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18 which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included in the beginning and end-of-period total amounts shown in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 on a retrospective basis. As a result, the change in restricted cash is no longer presented as a separate line item within cash flows from investing activities since such balances have been included with total cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end-of-period amounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

There have been no significant developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures, from those included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K except for the following:

Leases.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update revises an entity’s accounting for operating leases by a lessee, among other changes, and requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term in the statement of financial position. Additionally, this update requires both qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures. In July 2018, the FASB subsequently amended this guidance by issuing ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases" and ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements" which provides clarification and further guidance on areas identified as potential implementation issues, as well as provides an additional transition method to allow entities to initially apply the new leasing guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

These updates are effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, the Company expects to apply the new transition method provided in ASU 2018-11. While the Company is continuing to evaluate the effects that this guidance will have on its financial statements, it will result in the recognition of certain operating leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method excludes the effect of any contingently issuable securities where the contingency has not been met and excludes the effect of securities that would be anti-dilutive.  Anti-dilutive securities includes outstanding stock-based compensation awards representing shares from restricted stock units and stock options.

The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation and anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the periods indicated:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 discontinued operations includes $1 million and $5 million, respectively, of revenue that was accounted for under ASC 606 as discussed below. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Subservicing includes $2 million of revenue that was accounted for under ASC 606, which primarily related to certain ancillary fees associated with subservicing contracts that are recognized over the term of the contract.

(2)	During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Other income within the Mortgage Servicing segment includes a $15 million gain related to a settlement with an insurance carrier for certain claims related to the Company's previously disclosed legal and regulatory settlements. Refer to Note 11, 'Commitments and Contingencies' for additional information.

Refer to the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K for a description of the accounting policies for significant revenue streams that are not subject to the new revenue standard, including those associated with origination and servicing activities that have been accounted for under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets" and ASC 825, "Financial Instruments."

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers Subject to ASC 606

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. There were no significant differences between the amounts of revenue recognized under ASC 606 compared to the amount that would have resulted from the application of previous standards.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following descriptions represent the Company's accounting policies for significant revenue streams subject to the new revenue standard, all of which relate to discontinued operations:

•

Origination and other loan fees. The Company provided origination and fulfillment services to PLS clients under Origination Assistance Agreements ("OAA") through March 31, 2018, and the origination assistance fees associated with fee-based closings under these agreements are subject to the new revenue standard. The services performed under the OAA represent a stand-ready obligation, and the Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount it has the right to invoice, which occurs at the time the loan is originated and funded. The right to invoice practical expedient is consistent with the historical accounting treatment of origination assistance fees in prior periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, within revenues from discontinued operations, Origination and other loans fees includes $2 million of origination assistance fees that were accounted for under ASC 606.

•

Other income. In connection with the exit of the PLS business, the Company is contractually required to provide certain transition support services to its clients, which includes the return of records and loan document images. The Company is entitled to certain transition support fees associated with these services, and the fees are recognized upon the transfer of control of the records and loan document images to the customer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, within revenues from discontinued operations, Other income includes $1 million and $3 million, respectively, of transition support fees that were accounted for under ASC 606.

The Company updates the valuation of each instrument recorded at fair value on a quarterly basis, evaluating all available observable information, which may include current market prices or bids, recent trade activity, changes in the levels of market activity and benchmarking of industry data.  The assessment also includes consideration of identifying the valuation approach that would be used currently by market participants.  If it is determined that a change in valuation technique or its application is appropriate, or if there are other changes in availability of observable data or market activity, the current methodology will be analyzed to determine if a transfer between levels of the valuation hierarchy is appropriate.  Such reclassifications are reported as transfers into or out of a level as of the beginning of the quarter that the change occurs. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there have been no changes in the valuation methodologies and classification pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

The incorporation of counterparty credit risk did not have a significant impact on the valuation of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Significant inputs to the measurement of fair value and further information on the assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale (“MLHS”).  The Company has elected to record MLHS at fair value which is intended to better reflect the underlying economics and eliminate the operational complexities of risk management activities and hedge accounting requirements. The following table reflects the difference between the carrying amounts of MLHS measured at fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal amount that the Company is contractually entitled to receive at maturity:

Mortgage Servicing Rights.  MSRs are classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs and the inactive market for such assets. The fair value of MSRs is estimated based upon projections of expected future cash flows considering prepayment estimates, the Company’s historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and other economic factors. On a quarterly basis, assumptions used in estimating fair value are validated against a number of third-party sources, which may include peer surveys, MSR broker surveys, third-party valuations and other market-based sources. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company updated its fair value assessment of MSRs committed under the sale agreement with New Residential. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of these committed MSRs to New Residential no longer includes calibration of the valuation model to the pricing associated with the sale agreement based upon the timing of the original agreement and the complexities of completing the sale. See Note 4, 'Servicing Activities' for further discussion of the MSR sale commitments.

The following tables summarize certain information regarding the initial and ending capitalization rate of MSRs:

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of MSRs from adverse changes in the significant assumptions: 

Copy History

	June 30, 2018
	Weighted- Average Prepayment Speed				Option Adjusted Spread				Weighted- Average Delinquency Rate
	(In millions)
MSRs Owned
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change	$	(3	)		$	(1	)		$	(2	)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change	(5		)		(2		)		(5		)
MSRs Under Secured Borrowing Arrangement
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change	$	(15	)		$	(18	)		$	(5	)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change	(29		)		(35		)		(9		)

The Company's exposure to the change in fair value of MSRs from adverse changes in the significant assumptions is generally limited to those associated with the MSRs owned in the preceding table. Any changes in fair value associated with the MSRs under secured borrowing arrangements fully offset between the MSRs secured asset and the MSRs secured liability, and have no impact to the Company.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Secured Liability. The fair value of MSRs secured liability is classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, which is consistent with the fair value methodology of the related MSR asset. The fair value of MSRs secured liability is estimated based upon projections of expected future cash flows of the underlying MSR asset. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, including portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and other economic factors.

The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of MSRs secured liability were as follows (in annual rates):
