MR COOPER GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Mr. Cooper Group Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Mr. Cooper”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provides servicing, origination and transaction-based services related to single family residences throughout the United States with operations under its primary brands: Mr. Cooper® and Xome®. Mr. Cooper is one of the largest home loan originators and servicers in the country focused on delivering a variety of servicing and lending products, services and technologies. Xome provides real estate data as well as a range of services including real estate brokerage, title, closing, valuation and field services to lenders, investors and consumers. The Company’s corporate website is located at www.mrcoopergroup.com. The Company has provided a glossary of terms, which defines certain industry-specific and other terms that are used herein, in the MD&A section of this Form 10-Q.

Mr. Cooper, which was previously known as WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”), is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware since May 11, 2015. On July 31, 2018, Wand Merger Corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH merged with and into Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (“Nationstar”), with Nationstar continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, WMIH had limited operations other than its reinsurance business that operated in runoff mode. As a result of the Merger, shares of Nationstar common stock were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Following the Merger closing, the combined company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “WMIH” until October 10, 2018, when WMIH changed its name to “Mr. Cooper Group Inc.” and its ticker symbol to “COOP”.

Basis of Presentation

For the purpose of financial statement presentation, Mr. Cooper was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger, and Nationstar’s assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Mr. Cooper’s interim consolidated financial statements for periods following the Merger closing are labeled “Successor” and reflect the acquired assets and liabilities from Nationstar.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, when a registrant succeeds to substantially all of the business of another entity and the registrant’s own operations before the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired, the registrant is required to present financial information for the acquired entity (the “Predecessor”) for all comparable periods being presented before the acquisition. Due to the acquisition, the Predecessor and Successor financial statements have been prepared on different basis of accounting and are therefore not comparable.

Pursuant to the Merger, Nationstar is considered the predecessor company. Therefore, the Company is providing additional information in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements regarding Nationstar’s business for periods prior to July 31, 2018. The predecessor company financial information in this report is labeled “Predecessor” in these consolidated interim financial statements.

The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company ~~and Predecessor~~ have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~

Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company adopted the significant accounting policies that were implemented by Nationstar and applied to the Predecessor’s financial statements, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share data and other key metrics, unless otherwise noted.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were issued.

Basis of Consolidation

The basis of consolidation described below was adopted by Nationstar and applied to the Predecessor financial statements for the periods impacted by the adoption. The Successor’s financial statements reflect the adoption of such standards.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and those variable interest entities (“VIE”) where the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Assets and liabilities of VIEs and their respective results of operations are consolidated from the date that the Company became the primary beneficiary through the date the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary. The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments where it is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity and owns less than 50% of the voting interests. Investments in certain companies over which the Company does not exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. Intercompany balances and transactions on consolidated entities have been eliminated. Business combinations are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to factors such as adverse changes in the economy, changes in interest rates, secondary market pricing for loans held for sale and derivatives, strength of underwriting and servicing practices, changes in prepayment assumptions, declines in home prices or discrete events adversely affecting specific borrowers, and such differences could be material.

~~Reclassification~~

~~Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2018 consolidated financial statements to conform to 2019 presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues or net income.~~

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

~~Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-02”), No. 2018-10,~~ ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases~~ ~~(“ASU 2018-10”), and No. 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements~~ (“ASU 2018-11”), primarily impact lessee accounting by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for long-term lease agreements. ASU 2016-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to apply ASU 2016-02 as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and has not restated comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which, among other items, permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Under this practical expedient, for those leases that qualify, the Company does not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities, which includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized an operating lease ROU asset of $114 and an operating lease liability of $124 on January 1, 2019, with no impact on its consolidated statement of operations. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in other assets, and payables and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. See ~~Note 7, Leases~~ ~~for additional information.~~

~~Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15,~~ ~~Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40 - Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract~~" (“ASU 2018-15”) aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-15. The standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

~~Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted~~

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), (“ASU 2016-13”), requires expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date to be measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable ~~forecasts.~~forecasts, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The update eliminates the ~~probable~~ initial recognition ~~threshold~~of credit losses on an incurred basis in current GAAP and instead reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses over the life of the asset. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The new standard will reflect management’s best estimate of all expected credit losses for the Company’s financial assets that are recognized at amortized cost. As part of the evaluation process, the Company has performed a scoping analysis, developed a detailed project plan, and is currently in process of completing documentation. The Company has also formed an internal committee from various internal departments to assist in the implementation of the new standard. The guidance is effective ~~in first quarter~~for the Company as of January 1, 2020, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of that date.

Based upon management’s scoping analysis, the ~~beginning~~Company determined that reverse mortgage interests, net of reserves, advances and other receivables, net of reserves, and certain financial instruments included in other assets are within the scope of ASU 2016-13. Certain financial instruments within these respective line items have been determined to have limited expected credit-related losses due to the contractual servicing agreements with agencies and loan product guarantees. For advances and other receivables, net, the Company determined that the majority of estimated losses are due to servicing operational errors and credit-related losses are not significant because of the ~~year~~contractual relationships with the agencies. For reverse mortgage interests the Company determined that the guarantee from Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) on Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (“HECM“) loan products limits credit-related losses to an immaterial amount with substantially all losses related to servicing operational errors. For other assets, primarily trade receivables, the Company determined that these are short-term in nature (less than one year), and the estimated credit-related losses over the life of ~~adoption. The~~these receivables are similar to those resulting from the Company’s existing loss reserve process. For each of the aforementioned financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the Company ~~is currently evaluating~~enhanced its processes to consider and include the ~~potential impact~~requirements of ASU 2016-13, onas applicable, into the determination of credit-related losses.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for the above-mentioned financial assets. Results for reporting periods after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded transition adjustments aggregating to a net increase of $9, or $7 after tax, to retained earnings and a reduction of $7 to the advances and other receivables reserve and a $2 reduction in the other assets reserves, as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13.

In connection with adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company updated its ~~consolidated~~accounting policies as follows:

For certain financial ~~statements.~~instruments included in advances and other receivables, net and certain trade receivables and accrued revenues included in other assets that within the scope of ASU 2016-13, the reserve methodology was revised to consider CECL losses. The revised CECL methodology considers expected lifetime loss rates calculated from historical data using a weighted average life to determine the current expected credit loss required. Due to the nature of the financial instrument, reverse mortgage interests, net of reserves, had limited impact from the adoption of CECL to the reserve methodology. See Note 4, Advances and Other Receivables, Net, Note 5, Reverse Mortgage Interests, Net, and Note 8, Other Assets, for additional information.

Factors that influenced management’s current estimate of expected credit losses for certain advances and other receivables and certain trade receivables and accrued revenues included the following: historical collection and loss rates, passage of time, weighted average life of receivables, various qualitative factors including current economic conditions.

Factors that influenced management’s current estimate of expected credit related losses for certain reverse mortgage interests included the following: historical collection and loss rates, foreclosure timelines, and values of underlying collateral.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, (“ASU 2018-13”) removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 ~~will be effective for the Company~~ on January 1, 2020. The guidance ~~will~~does not have a material impact to the disclosures currently provided by the Company.

2. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Pacific Union Financial, LLC

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all the limited liability units of Pacific Union Financial, LLC (“Pacific Union”), a California limited liability company. Pacific Union was a ~~privately-held~~privately held company that was engaged in the origination, as well as servicing of residential mortgage loans, and operated throughout the United States. The acquisition allows the Company to expand its servicing portfolio and increase its mortgage lending volume and capabilities.

The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ~~Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”)~~ Accounting Standards Codification ~~(“ASC”) Topic~~ 805, ~~(“ASC 805”),~~ Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value estimates requires management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and may require adjustments. The final purchase price was ~~estimated to be~~ $116, ~~as of the closing date and such amount was~~ paid by the Company as required by the Unit Purchase Agreement (“UPA”). In accordance with the terms of the UPA, the seller has formally disputed the estimated purchase price. As a result of the dispute, the final purchase price is subject to adjustment until the end of the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date), which would result in an increase to cash consideration paid and goodwill. Solely for this purpose, the Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the adjustment to the final purchase price would range between $0 and $16. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation subject to resolution of the above dispute.cash. Based on the allocation of fair value, goodwill of $40 ~~has been~~was recorded, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of the liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and synergies with the Company’s current operations. $28 and $12 of the goodwill is assigned to the ~~Origination~~Originations and Servicing segments, respectively, based on expected cash flows, and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

~~During the second quarter of 2019, the Company obtained additional information that existed as of the acquisition date and updated its estimated accrued liabilities, which resulted in~~ ~~$11~~ increase to payables and other liabilities. In addition, the third-party valuation specialists finalized their valuation of intangible assets acquired by the Company, which resulted in $2 increase to the fair value of the intangible assets acquired. The Company also wrote off $2 property and equipment acquired as it finalized its valuation of property and equipment. Total adjustments to goodwill in the second quarter of 2019 were $11. Preliminary goodwill totaled $40 after taking into account these measurement period adjustments.

The Company incurred total acquisition costs of $4$2 during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019, of which ~~$2 are~~$1 is included in salaries, wages and benefits expense and $2$1 in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

~~Acquisition of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc.~~

Upon the Merger with Nationstar on July 31, 2018, each share of Nationstar’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share, (i) $18.00 per share in cash, without interest, or (ii) 12.7793 shares (prior to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split) of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of WMIH common stock (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration was subject to automatic proration and adjustment pursuant to the Merger Agreement to ensure that the total amount of cash paid (excluding cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) equaled approximately $1,226.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, (i) each then-outstanding share of Nationstar restricted stock automatically vested in full and was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as elected by the holder thereof, and (ii) each then-outstanding Nationstar restricted stock unit, whether vested or unvested, was automatically vested in full, assumed by WMIH and converted into a WMIH restricted stock unit entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement the Merger Consideration, as elected by the holder.

~~Upon closing the Merger, all outstanding WMIH Series B Preferred Stock and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of WMIH common stock were converted into common stock of WMIH.~~

Total purchase price was approximately $1,777, consisting of cash paid of $1,226 and transferred stock valued at $551. The purchase price was funded from available cash on hand and borrowings under senior unsecured notes (see discussion below). Prior to the acquisition, Nationstar was a publicly-held company that earned fees through the delivery of servicing, origination and transaction-based services related primarily to single-family residences throughout the United States. This acquisition marks the Company’s initial entry into the mortgage servicing industry that Nationstar operates in and is consistent with the Company’s business strategy.

On July 13, 2018, Merger Sub closed the offering of $950 aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and $750 aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “New Notes”). The proceeds from the New Notes were used, together with the proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s cash and restricted cash on hand, to consummate the Company’s acquisition of Nationstar and the refinancing of certain of Nationstar’s existing debt and to pay related fees and expenses. At the consummation of the acquisition, Merger Sub merged with and into Nationstar, with Nationstar continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. After the Merger, Nationstar assumed all of Merger Sub’s obligations under the New Notes.

~~The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805,~~ ~~Business Combinations~~, using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company recorded final goodwill of $65, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of the liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and synergies from the future growth and strategic advantages in the mortgage industry. The entire goodwill is assigned to the Servicing segment and will not be deductible for tax purposes.

~~The table below presents the calculation of aggregate purchase price.~~

Purchase Price:
Converted WMIH common shares (prior to reverse stock split) in millions 394
Price per share, based on price of $1.398 for WMIH stock on July 31, 2018 $ 1.398
Purchase price from common stock issued 551
Purchase price from cash payment 1,226
Total purchase price $ 1,777

The allocation of the fair value of the acquired business was based on final valuations of the estimated net fair value of the assets acquired. The determination of fair value estimates required management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and may require adjustments. The Company’s estimates were subject to change as the Company obtained additional information and finalized its review of estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The Company recorded any adjustments to the preliminary fair value estimates in the reporting period in which the adjustments were determined. The Company finalized its allocation of fair value of consideration transferred in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

~~The final allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is as follows:~~

Final Estimated Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 166

⁽ⁱ⁾	~~The estimated fair values for customer relationships were measured using the excess earnings method.~~


⁽ⁱⁱ⁾	The estimated fair values for tradename and technology were measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the tradename and technology have value to the extent the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from these assets.


⁽ⁱⁱⁱ⁾	~~The estimated fair values for internally developed software were measured using the replacement cost method.~~

The preliminary allocation of fair value as of December 31, 2018 resulted in goodwill of $10. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company obtained additional information in finalizing its review regarding a market participant view of the cost to service assumption related to the valuation of reverse mortgage assets and liabilities. This additional information was used in finalizing the Company’s review of the fair value of the reverse mortgage assets and liabilities and resulted in a reduction of $24 in reverse mortgage interests, a reduction of $6 in reverse mortgage servicing rights and an increase of $37 in mortgage servicing liabilities. In addition, a reduction of $12 in payables and other liabilities was recorded for the tax impact related to the revised valuation, for a total adjustment to goodwill of $55. As a result of the revised fair value, the Company recorded $7 to service related, net revenue and $1 to interest income, for a total $8 increase to earnings in the consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company finalized its allocation of purchase price which did not result in any significant additional measurement period adjustments. There was a total goodwill of $65 as of September 30, 2019 after taking into account these measurement period adjustments.

WMIH incurred total acquisition costs of $92 prior to the consummation of the Merger. The acquisition costs were primarily related to legal, accounting and consulting services and were expensed as incurred through July 31, 2018. Included in the total acquisition costs was a transaction fee of $25 to KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR Wand Investors Corporation, which is WMIH’s largest stockholder, for acting as a non-exclusive financial advisor to WMIH with respect to the Merger and an arrangement fee of $7 to KCM for acting as a placement agent with respect to a bridge financing facility in connection with the Merger that was not executed. In addition, WMIH incurred $38 of costs related to borrowings under the New Notes, which was capitalized in debt costs.

WMIH also paid KCM a deferred fee of $8, which initially reduced the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock. This fee was payable in connection with the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock to WMIH common stock upon consummation of the Merger.

~~Included in the Predecessor’s consolidated statements of operations were $27 of acquisition costs incurred by Nationstar for the seven months ended July 31, 2018.~~

Included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations were $7 of acquisition costs related to the compensation arrangements incurred by the Company related to the Merger for the two months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Acquisition of Assurant Mortgage Solutions (“AMS”)~~

On August 1, 2018, Xome Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired AMS for $38 in cash with additional contingent consideration dependent on the achievement of certain future performance targets, which was estimated at $15 as of December 31, 2018. Total purchase price was estimated at $53. The acquisition expands Xome’s product footprint and grows its third-party client portfolio across its valuation, title and field services businesses. The Company finalized its purchase price allocation and recorded intangible assets of $24 and goodwill of $13 in 2018. The Company expects the entire goodwill balance to be deductible for tax purposes. Under ASC 805, ~~Business Combinations~~, the contingent consideration was remeasured to fair value of $4 at March 31, 2019 and remained unchanged at June 30, 2019. The contingent consideration was remeasured at September 30, 2019 and was determined to have zero fair value. The changes in the fair value of $4 and $15 were included in other income (expenses) within the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company owns and records at fair value the rights to service traditional residential mortgage (“forward”) loans for others, either as a result of purchase transactions or from the retained servicing associated with the sales and securitizations of loans originated. MSRs are comprised of servicing rights ~~related to~~of both agency and non-agency loans.

The following table sets forth the activities of forward ~~MSRs.~~MSRs:

⁽¹⁾

Purchases of servicing rights during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 includes $271 of mortgage servicing rights that were acquired from Pacific Union. See Note 2, Acquisitions, for further discussion. In addition, on January 3, 2019, the Company entered into a subservicing contract for $24 billion unpaid principal balance in mortgages. The related servicing rights were subsequently purchased on May 1, 2019, resulting in additional $253 servicing rights during the second quarter of 2019.


⁽²⁾	~~Amount for the seven months ended July 31, 2018 is related to the sale of MSRs collateralized by nonperforming loans, which have a negative MSR value.~~

From time to time, the Company sells its ownership interest in certain MSRs and is retained as the subservicer for the sold assets. The Company has evaluated the sale accounting requirements related to these transactions, including the Company’s continued involvement as the subservicer, and concluded that these transactions qualify for sale accounting treatment. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018,~~ the Company sold ~~$25,639~~$40 and ~~$5,947~~$19,409 in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of forward MSRs, of which ~~$20,560~~none and ~~none~~$19,276 were retained by the Company as subservicer, respectively. ~~During the seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor sold $1,203 in UPB of forward MSRs, of which $1 in UPB was retained by the Predecessor as subservicer.~~

MSRs measured at fair value are primarily segregated between credit sensitive and interest sensitive pools ~~at acquisition of MSRs.~~(referred to herein as “acquisition pools”). Credit sensitive pools are primarily impacted by borrower performance under specified repayment terms, which most directly impacts involuntary prepayments and delinquency rates. Interest sensitive pools are primarily impacted by changes in forecasted interest rates, which in turn impact voluntary prepayment speeds. The Company assesses whether acquired portfolios are more credit sensitive or interest sensitive in nature on the date of ~~acquisition or transfer.~~acquisition. Numerous factors are considered in making this assessment, including loan-to-value ratios, FICO scores, percentage of portfolio previously modified, portfolio seasoning and similar criteria. The determination between credit sensitive and interest sensitive for a pool is made at the date of acquisition, and no subsequent changes are made.

Credit sensitive portfolios generally consist of higher delinquency, single-family non-conforming residential forward mortgage loans serviced for agency and non-agency investors. Due to the Company’s focus on recapture and modifications, significant amounts of the credit sensitive portfolio have been re-underwritten and, therefore, behave more like the interest sensitive portfolio. Interest sensitive portfolios generally consist of lower delinquency, single-family conforming residential forward mortgage loans for agency investors.

MSRs measured at fair value are also segregated between investor type into agency and non-agency pools (referred to herein as “investor pools”) based on upon contractual servicing agreements with investors at the respective balance sheet date to evaluate the MSR portfolio and fair value of the portfolio.

The following table provides a breakdown of ~~credit sensitive~~UPB and ~~interest sensitive unpaid principal balance (“UPB”)~~fair value for the Company’s forward ~~MSRs.~~MSRs:

⁽²⁾	Non-agency investors consist of investors in private-label securitizations.

The Company used the following key weighted-average inputs and assumptions in estimating the fair value of ~~MSRs.~~forward MSRs:

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the 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.

Reverse Mortgage Servicing Rights and Liabilities - Amortized Cost

The Company services certain HECM reverse mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of ~~$23,990~~$21,590 and ~~$28,415~~$22,725 as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. ~~Mortgage~~The following table sets forth the activities of reverse MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSL”) ~~had an ending balance of $69 and $71 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For the nine~~for three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and two months ended September 30, 2018, the Company accreted $39 and $7 of the MSL, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded an MSL adjustment of $37 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The MSL adjustment recorded by the Company relates to the fair value adjustments for MSL assumed from the Merger resulting from the revised cost to service assumption used in the valuation of MSL during the measurement period. See ~~Note 2, Acquisitions~~ for further information. For the seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor accreted $11 of the MSL and recorded an impairment of $56 in general and administrative expenses. Accretion recorded by the Predecessor relates to previous portfolio acquisitions.2019:

Reverse MSR had an ending balance of $7 and $11 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company amortized $2 and recorded other MSR adjustments of $6. The MSR adjustment recorded by the Company relates to the fair value adjustments for MSR assumed from the Merger resulting from the revised cost to service assumption used in the valuation of MSR during the measurement period. See ~~Note 2, Acquisitions~~ for further information. For the two months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded less than $1 of amortization. For the seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor recorded an impairment of $4.


⁽¹⁾	Reverse MSR and MSL net adjustments recorded by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily relate to the fair value adjustments for reverse MSR and MSL assumed from the Merger resulting from the revised cost to service assumption used in the valuation of reverse MSR and MSL during the measurement period.

The fair value of the reverse MSR was $7 and $11 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of the MSL was $41 and $53 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Management evaluates reverse MSRs and MSLs each reporting period for impairment. Based on management’s assessment at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, no impairment or increased obligation was needed.

Excess Spread Financing - Fair Value

In order to finance the acquisition of certain ~~MSR portfolios,~~MSRs on various Portfolios, the Company has entered into sale and assignment agreements with third parties and sold to these entities the right to receive a specified percentage of the excess cash flow generated from the portfolios in excess of a fixed base servicing fee per loan. The Company retains all the base servicing fee, ~~along with~~ ancillary income and interest float earnings on principal ~~and~~along with interest payments and escrows, and also incurs costs to service the specified pool. The Company is the legal owner and the servicer of the portfolios and provides all servicing and advancing functions.

In connection with the above transactions, the Company entered into ~~refinanced loan~~recapture agreement obligations with third parties that require the Company to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the respective portfolio if the Company ~~refinances~~recaptures any loan in the portfolio. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the sale and assignment agreement described above.

Accordingly, a recapture assumption is included within excess spread valuation.

The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions in the Company’s valuation of excess spread ~~financing.~~financing:


	Successor
	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Excess Spread Financing Assumptions					March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019

Recapture rate	22.3	%	18.6	%	18.6	%	20.1	%
Average life	5.7 years		6.5 years		5.7 years		5.8 years

The following table shows the hypothetical effect on the Company’s excess spread financing fair value when applying certain unfavorable variations of key assumptions to these liabilities for the dates ~~indicated.~~indicated:

Excess spread financing	$	47	$	99	$	38	$	81	$	46	$	95	$	46	$	96

As the cash flow assumptions utilized in determining the fair value amounts in the excess spread financing are based on the related cash flow assumptions utilized in the financed MSRs, any fair value changes recognized in the financed MSRs attributable to a related cash flow assumption would inherently have an inverse impact on the carrying amount of the related excess spread financing. For example, while an increase in discount rates would negatively impact the value of the Company’s financed MSRs, it would reduce the carrying value of the associated excess spread financing liability.

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the 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. Also, a positive change in the above assumptions would not necessarily correlate with the corresponding decrease in the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing. Excess Spread financing’s cash flow assumptions that are utilized in determining fair value are based on the related cash flow assumptions used in the financed MSRs. Any fair value change recognized in the financed MSRs attributable to related cash flows assumptions would inherently have an inverse impact on the carrying amount of the related excess spread financing.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing - Fair Value

From December 2013 through June 2014, the ~~Predecessor~~Company entered into agreements to sell a contractually specified base servicing fee component of certain MSRs and servicing advances under specified terms to a joint venture capitalized by ~~New Residential and certain unaffiliated~~ third-party investors. The purpose of this transaction was to facilitate the financing of advances for private label mortgages. The Company continues to be the named servicer, and, for accounting purposes, ownership of the ~~mortgage servicing rights continues to reside~~MSR resides with the Company. Accordingly, the Company records the MSR and an MSR financing liability associated with this transaction in its consolidated balance sheets. The MSR financing liability reflects the incremental costs of this transaction relative to the market participant assumptions contained in the MSR valuation.

The following table sets forth the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average assumptions used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights financing ~~liability.~~liability:

Mark-to-market (“MTM”) adjustments include fair value adjustments on MSR, excess spread financing and MSR financing liabilities. The amount of MSR MTM includes the impact of negative modeled cash flows which have been transferred to reserves on advances and other receivables. The negative modeled cash flows relate to advances and other receivables associated with inactive and liquidated loans that are no longer part of the MSR portfolio. The impact of negative modeled cash flows for the Company was ~~$18, $46,~~$10 and ~~$13~~$11 for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Credit Loss for Advances and Other Receivables

As described in Note 1, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, advances and other receivables are within the scope of ASU 2016-13, and the Company modified its accounting policy regarding its assessment of reserves for credit-related losses in accordance with CECL framework. Upon applying ASU 2016-13, the Company reduced its reserve for credit-related losses by $7 as of January 1, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company increased the CECL reserve by $6. As of March 31, 2020, the total CECL reserve was $23.

Based upon the Company’s application of ASU 2016-13, the Company determined that the credit-related risk associated with applicable financial instruments typically increase with the passage of time. The CECL reserve methodology considers these financial instruments collectible to a point in time of 39 months. Any projected remaining balance at the end of the collection period is considered a loss and factors into the overall CECL loss rate required.

Participating Interests in HMBS

Participating interests in HMBS consist of the Company’s reverse mortgage interests in HECM loans which have been transferred to GNMA and subsequently securitized through the issuance of HMBS. The Company does not own these loans, but due to HMBS program buyout requirements, such interests are consolidated in Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not originate reverse mortgages, but during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018,~~ a total of ~~$211~~$52 and ~~$44~~$82 in UPB associated with new draws on existing loans was transferred to GNMA and securitized by the Company, respectively. ~~During the seven months ended July 31, 2018, a total of $198 UPB was transferred to GNMA and securitized by the Predecessor.~~

In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae for the transfer of reverse mortgage loans. As a result, $61 was transferred from Fannie Mae and securitized into GNMA HMBS during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019. There was no such activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Other Interests Securitized

Other interests securitized consist of reverse mortgage interests that no longer meet HMBS program eligibility criteria primarily because they have reached 98% of their Max Claim Amount (“MCA”), which is established at origination and in accordance with HMBS program guidelines, requiring a repurchase of loans from the respective HMBS trust. These reverse mortgage interests have subsequently been transferred to private securitization trusts and are accounted for as a secured borrowing. ~~During~~No such securitizations occurred during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019, the Company securitized a total of $398 UPB through Trust 2019-1~~March 31, 2020 and ~~a total of $249 UPB from Trust 2017-2 was called and the related debt was extinguished. See~~ ~~Note 10, Indebtedness~~ ~~for additional information.~~2019. The Company sold $20 UPB of Trust 2018-3 ~~retained bonds~~ during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019. No such securitizations occurred during the two months ended September 30, 2018. During the seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor securitized a total of $760 UPB through Trust 2018-1 and Trust 2018-2 and a total of $284 UPB from Trust 2016-2 and Trust 2016-3 were called and the related debt was extinguished. Refer to Other Nonrecourse Debt in Note 10, Indebtedness, for additional information.

Unsecuritized Interests

Unsecuritized interests in reverse mortgages consist of the following:

Total unsecuritized interests	$	1,204		$	1,219		$	1,080		$	1,052


⁽¹⁾	HECM related receivables consist primarily of receivables from FNMA ~~receivables~~ for corporate advances and service fees and claims receivables from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). on reverse mortgage interests.

Unsecuritized interests include repurchased HECM loans for which the Company is required to repurchase from the HMBS pool when the outstanding principal balance of the HECM loan is equal to or greater than 98% of the MCA established at origination and in accordance with HMBS program guidelines. These unsecuritized interests are primarily financed through available warehouse lines. The Company repurchased a total of ~~$2,132~~$383 and ~~$608~~$740 of HECM loans out of GNMA HMBS securitizations during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018,~~ respectively, of which ~~$561~~$103 and ~~$138~~$188 were subsequently assigned to a third party in accordance with applicable servicing agreements, respectively. The Predecessor repurchased a total of $2,439 of HECM loans out of GNMA HMBS securitizations during the seven months ended July 31, 2018, of which $512 was subsequently assigned to a third party in accordance with applicable servicing agreements. To the extent a loan is not subject to applicable servicing agreements and assigned to a third party, the loan is either subject to assignment to HUD, per contractual obligations with GNMA, liquidated via a payoff from the borrower or liquidated via a foreclosure according to the terms of the underlying mortgage. The Company assigned a total of ~~$1,458~~$266 and ~~$458~~$514 of HECM loans to HUD during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Predecessor assigned a total of $1,712 of HECM loans to HUD during the seven months ended July 31, 2018.~~

As discussed above, the Company estimates and records an asset for probable recoveries from prior servicers for their respective portion of the losses associated with the underlying loans that were not serviced in accordance with established guidelines. Net receivables from prior servicers totaled $8 and $18 for the Company’s reverse loan portfolio at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Reserves for Reverse Mortgage Interests

The Company records reserves related to reverse mortgage interests based on potential unrecoverable costs and loss exposures expected to be realized. Recoverability is primarily determined based on the Company’s ability to meet HUD servicing guidelines and is assessed with respect to both financial and operational exposures.

Purchase Discount for Reverse Mortgage Interests

In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded the acquired reverse mortgage interests at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a purchase premium of $42 for participating interests in HMBS, and a purchase discount of $298 for Other Interest Securitized and Unsecuritized Interests due to the higher exposure to financial and operational losses of servicing the loans through foreclosure and collateral liquidation. The premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, based on the effective yield method, whereby the Company updates its prepayment assumptions for actual prepayments on a quarterly basis.

6. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale ~~and Investment~~

~~Mortgage Loans Held for Sale~~

The Company maintains a strategy of originating and purchasing residential mortgage loan products primarily for the purpose of selling to GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market on a servicing-retained basis. The Company purchases closed loans through its correspondent channel and assists customers currently in the Company’s servicing portfolio with refinancing of loans or new home purchases through its Direct to Consumer channel. Generally, all newly originated mortgage loans held for sale are securitized and transferred to GSEs or delivered to third-party purchasers shortly after origination on a servicing-retained basis.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018,~~ the Company received proceeds of ~~$27,778~~$13,724 and ~~$3,543~~$6,194, respectively, on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, resulting in gains of ~~$367~~$275 and ~~$35,~~$106, respectively. ~~For the seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor received proceeds of $13,382 on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, resulting in gains of $127.~~

The Company has the right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. The majority of Ginnie Mae repurchased loans are repurchased in connection with loan modifications and loan resolution activity, with the intent to re-pool into new Ginnie Mae securitizations upon re-performance of the loan or to otherwise sell to third-party investors. Therefore, these loans are classified as held for sale.

~~Mortgage Loans Held for Investment~~

In September 2019, the Company collapsed Trust 2009-A, its legacy portfolio, and executed the sale of the loans held in the trust for a total purchase price of $130. The Company recognized a gain of $32, which was recorded in the net gain on mortgage loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of operations. $21 and $11 of the gain were recorded in the Servicing and Corporate/Other segments, respectively. In connection with this transaction, $94 UPB of the mortgage loans held for investment was called and the related debt was extinguished. The Company transferred the remaining $12 UPB to mortgage loans held for sale and $5 UPB to real estate owned.

7. Leases

Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ~~ROU~~right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, included in other assets and payables and other liabilities, respectively, on ~~its~~the consolidated balance sheets as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The Company does not currently have any significant finance leases in which it is the lessee. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for lease incentives. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s leases relate primarily to office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 109 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options, which typically range from 3 to 5 years, at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were ~~$126~~$111 and ~~$137,~~$125, respectively.

Loans Subject to Repurchase Right from Ginnie Mae

Forward loans are sold to Ginnie Mae in conjunction with the issuance of mortgage backed securities. The Company, as the issuer of the mortgage backed securities, has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. Once the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, it has effectively regained control over the loan and recognizes these rights to the loan on its consolidated balance sheets and establishes a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of the Company’s intention to repurchase the loan. ~~The amount as of September 30, 2019 includes $418 attributable to Pacific Union.~~

Participating Interest Financing

Participating interest financing represents the obligation of HMBS pools to third-party security holders. The Company issues HMBS in connection with the securitization of borrower draws and accrues interest on HECM loans. Proceeds are received in exchange for securitized advances on the HECM loan amounts transferred to GNMA, and the Company retains a beneficial interest (referred to as a “participating interest”) in the securitization trust in which the HECM loans and HMBS obligations are held and assume both issuer and servicer responsibilities in accordance with GNMA HMBS program guidelines. Monthly cash flows generated from the HECM loans are used to service the HMBS obligations. The interest rate is based on the underlying HMBS rate with a range of ~~2.3%~~1.8% to ~~5.9%~~5.6%.

Securitizations of Nonperforming HECM Loans

From time to time, the Company securitizes its interests in non-performing reverse mortgages. The transactions provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of both non-performing HECM loans secured by one-to-four-family residential properties and a pool of REO properties acquired through foreclosure of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in connection with HECM loans that are covered by FHA insurance. The transactions provide the Company with access to liquidity for the non-performing HECM loan portfolio, ongoing servicing fees, and potential residual returns. The transactions are structured as secured borrowings with the reverse mortgage loans included in the consolidated financial statements as reverse mortgage interests and the related financing included in other nonrecourse debt. Interest is accrued at a rate of ~~2.7%~~2.3% to 6.0% on the outstanding securitized notes and recorded as interest expense in consolidated statements of operations. The HECM securitizations are callable with expected weighted average lives of less than one to ~~four~~three years. The Company may re-securitize the previously called loans from earlier HECM securitizations to achieve a lower cost of funds.

~~Nonrecourse Debt – Legacy Assets~~

During November 2009, the Predecessor completed the securitization of approximately $222 of Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”), which was accounted for as a secured borrowing. This structure resulted in the Predecessor and subsequently the Company carrying the securitized mortgage loans in its consolidated balance sheets and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The interest rate paid on the outstanding securities is 7.5%, which is subject to an available funds cap. The trust was called and related debt was extinguished during September 2019. See ~~Note 6, Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Investment~~ for further information. The total outstanding principal balance on the underlying mortgage loans serving as collateral for the debt was approximately $160 at December 31, 2018. The UPB on the outstanding loans was $29 at December 31, 2018 and the carrying value of the nonrecourse debt was $29.

Financial Covenants

The Company’s credit facilities contain various financial covenants which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements, which are measured at the Company’s operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. The Company was in compliance with its required financial covenants as of ~~September 30, 2019. The most restrictive tangible net worth covenant required the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $682.~~March 31, 2020.

⁽¹⁾	~~Provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to repurchase reserve liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Pacific Union. See~~ ~~Note 2, Acquisitions~~ ~~for additional information.~~

The provision for repurchases represents an estimate of losses to be incurred on the repurchase of loans or indemnification of purchaser’s losses related to forward loans. Certain sale contracts and GSE standards require ~~the Predecessor and, subsequently,~~ the Company to repurchase a loan or indemnify the purchaser or insurer for losses if a borrower fails to make initial loan payments or if the accompanying mortgage loan fails to meet certain customary representations and warranties with respect to underwriting standards.

In the event of a breach of the representations and warranties, the Predecessor and subsequently the Company may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser for losses it sustains on the loan. In addition, an investor may request that the Predecessor and subsequently the Company refund a portion of the premium paid on the sale of mortgage loans if a loan is prepaid within a certain amount of time from the date of sale. The Predecessor and the Company record a reserve for estimated losses associated with loan repurchases, purchaser indemnification and premium refunds. The provision for repurchase losses is charged against net gain on mortgage loans held for sale. A release of repurchase reserves is recorded when the Predecessor and Company’s assessment reveals that previously recorded reserves are no longer needed.

A selling representation and warranty framework was introduced by the GSEs in 2013 and enhanced in 2014 that helps address concerns of loan sellers with respect to loan repurchase risk. Under the framework, a GSE will not exercise its remedies, including the issuance of repurchase requests, for breaches of certain selling representations and warranties if a mortgage meets certain eligibility requirements. For loans sold to GSEs on or after January 1, 2013, repurchase risk for Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) loans is lowered if the borrower stays current on the loan for 12 months and representation and warranty risks are limited for non-HARP loans that stay current for 36 months.

The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of repurchase reserves based on trends in repurchase and indemnification requests, actual loss experience, settlement negotiation, estimated future loss exposure and other relevant factors including economic conditions. Current loss rates have significantly declined attributable to stronger underwriting standards and due to the falloff of loans underwritten prior to the mortgage loan crisis period prior to 2008. The Company believes its reserve balance as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 is sufficient to cover loss exposure associated with repurchase contingencies.

12. Securitizations and Financings

Variable Interest Entities (VIE)

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”) determined to be VIEs, which primarily consist of securitization trusts established for a limited purpose. Generally, these SPEs are formed for the purpose of securitization transactions in which the Company transfers assets to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets.

The Company has determined that the SPEs created in connection with the (i) Nationstar Mortgage Advance Receivables Trust (NMART), (ii) Nationstar Agency Advance Financing Trust (NAAFT) and (iii) Nationstar Advance Agency Receivables Trust (NAART) should be consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary of each of these entities. Also, the Company consolidated four reverse mortgage SPEs as it is the primary beneficiary of each of these entities. These SPEs include the Nationstar HECM Loan Trusts.

A summary of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s transactions with VIEs included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is presented ~~below.~~below:

13. Stockholders' Equity

~~Upon~~Equity-based awards under the consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed and adopted the Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”), as may be amended, that offers equity-based awards to certain key employees of the Company, consultants, and non-employee directors. Additionally, on May 16, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the Mr. Cooper Group Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) ~~which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.~~

~~The equity-based awards under the 2012 Plan and the 2019 Plan~~ include (i) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees of the Company, consultants, and non-employee ~~directors. These awards~~directors and (ii) performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted to certain executive officers. The RSUs are valued at the fair market value of the Company’s ~~or the Predecessor’s~~ common stock on the grant date as defined in the ~~2012~~2019 Plan. The PSUs are valued at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date as defined in the 2019 Plan and ~~the 2019 Plan.~~a Monte Carlo simulation model. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and two months ended September 30, 2018,~~ certain key employees of the Company, consultants, and non-employee directors of the Company were granted ~~2,525 thousand~~1.1 million and ~~73 thousand~~1.9 million RSUs, respectively. ~~During the seven months ended July 31, 2018, certain employees of the Predecessor were granted 3,297 thousand RSUs.~~ The stock awards for employees generally vest in equal installments ~~of 33.3%, 33.3% and 33.4% respectively~~ on each of the first three anniversaries of the awards, provided that (i) the participant remains continuously employed with the Company during that time or (ii) the participant’s employment has terminated by reason of retirement. The stock awards for non-employee directors generally vest the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the grant date or (b) the date of the next annual stockholders meeting following the grant date. In addition, upon death or disability, the unvested shares of an award will vest. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, certain executives of the Company were granted 0.5 million PSUs. For the 2020 PSU program, PSUs are eligible to vest and be settled into shares of Common Stock in an amount between 0% and 200% of a target award based on achievement of total shareholder return performance vesting criteria over a period of three years beginning March 1, 2020, with one-third of the units also eligible to vest based on performance through March 1, 2021.

The Company recorded $5$4 and ~~$14~~$4 of expenses related to equity-based awards during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and recorded $2 during the two months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, the Predecessor recorded $9 and $17 of expenses related to share-based awards during the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018, respectively, including $7 expenses recognized due to a one-time accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with the Merger.respectively.

14. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered participating securities because it has dividend rights determined on an as-converted basis in the event of Company’s declaration of a dividend or distribution for common shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net ~~(loss) income~~loss per common share (amounts in millions, except per share amounts).:


Computation of earnings per share													Three Months Ended March 31, 2020			Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

⁽¹⁾	Due to year-to-date loss, the Company excluded potential common shares from the computation of diluted EPS because inclusion would be antidilutive.

15. Income Taxes

The components of income tax ~~(benefit) expense~~benefit were as follows:

Successor Predecessor
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Two Months Ended September 30, 2018 One Month Ended July 31, 2018 Seven Months Ended July 31, 2018
Income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) $ 107
$ (243 ) $ 41
$ (83 ) $ 202

Income tax expense (benefit) $ 24
$ (52 ) $ (979 ) $ (19 ) $ 48

Effective tax rate⁽¹⁾
22.3 % 21.5 % (2,377.1 )% 23.1 % 23.8 %



Income taxes	Three Months Ended March 31, 2020			Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Loss before income tax benefit	$	(239	)	$	(233	)

Income tax benefit	$	(68	)	$	(47	)

Effective tax rate⁽¹⁾	28.4		%	20.3		%


⁽¹⁾	Effective tax rate is calculated using whole numbers.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, as well as unfavorable permanent differences including executive compensation disallowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The increase in the effective tax rate as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to the increased relative unfavorable tax impacts of the permanent differences on the annual effective rate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to permanent differences including executive compensation disallowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and nondeductible meals and entertainment expenses, as well as other recurring items such as the state tax benefit.

For the two months ended September 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to the reversal of the valuation allowance associated with the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of WMIH, permanent differences including executive compensation disallowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and nondeductible meals and entertainment expenses.

For the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018 in the predecessor period, the effective tax rate differed slightly from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state tax provision, adjustments in connection with the remediation of the Predecessor’s uncertain tax position and various permanent differences, including nondeductible transaction costs in connection with the Merger.

16. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy has been established based on the level of observable inputs used in the measurement of fair value (e.g., Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs).

The following describes the methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash (Level 1) – The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale (Level 2) – The Company originates mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell into Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae ~~(collectively, the “Agencies”)~~ MBS. Additionally, the Company holds mortgage loans that it intends to sell into the secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. The Company measures newly originated prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value.

Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate and credit quality. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued on a recurring basis using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

The Company may acquire mortgage loans held for sale from various securitization trusts for which it acts as servicer through the exercise of various clean-up call options as permitted through the respective pooling and servicing agreements. The Company has elected to account for these loans at the lower of cost or market. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

The Company may also purchase loans out of a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. The Company has elected to carry these loans at fair value. See Note 6, Mortgage Loans Held for Sale ~~and Investment~~, for more information.

~~Mortgage Loans Held for Investment (Level 3) –~~ Mortgage loans held for investment primarily consist of nonconforming or subprime mortgage loans that were transferred in 2009 from mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The Company intends to hold these loans to their maturities. The Company determines the fair value of loans held for investment, on a recurring basis, based on various underlying attributes such as market participants’ views, loan delinquency, recent observable loan pricing and sales for similar loans, individual loan characteristics and internal market evaluation. These internal market evaluations require the use of judgment by the Company and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. As these fair values are derived from internally developed valuation models, using observable inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. See ~~Note 6, Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Investment, for more information. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has no financial instruments classified as mortgage loans held for investment.~~

Mortgage Servicing Rights – Fair Value (Level 3) – The Company estimates the fair value of its forward MSRs on a recurring basis using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, ancillary revenues, earnings on escrow and ~~discount rates.~~costs to service. These assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by the Company and can have a significant impact on the fair value of the MSRs. Quarterly, management obtains third-party valuations to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculations provided by the internal cash flow model. Because of the nature of the valuation inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. See Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, for more information.

Advances and Other Receivables, Net (Level 3) - Advances and other receivables, net are valued at their net realizable value after taking into consideration the reserves. Advances have no stated maturity. Their net realizable value approximates fair value as the net present value based on discounted cash flow is not materially different from the net realizable value. See Note 4, Advances and Other Receivables, Net for more information.

Reverse Mortgage Interests, Net (Level 3) – The Company’s reverse mortgage interests are primarily comprised of HECM loans that are insured by FHA and guaranteed by Ginnie Mae upon securitization. Quarterly, the Company estimates fair value using discounted cash flows, obtained from a third-party and supplemented with historical loss experience on similar assets, with the discount rate approximating that of similar financial instruments, as observed from recent trades ~~within~~with the HMBS. Key assumptions within the model are based on market participant benchmarks and include discount rates, cost to service, weighted average life of the portfolio, and estimated participating income. Discounted cash flows are applied based on collateral stratifications and include loan rate type, loan status (active vs. inactive), and securitization. Prices are also influenced from both internal models and other observable inputs. The Company determined fair value for all loans based on the applicable tranches established during the Merger valuation. Tranches are segregated based on participation percentages, original loan status as of the Merger date, and interest rate types, and loan status (active vs inactive). Prices are also influenced from both internal models and other observable inputs, including applicable forward interest rate curves. Additionally, historical loss factors are considered within the overall valuation. Because of the unobservable nature of the valuation inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. See Note 5, Reverse Mortgage Interests, Net for more information.

Derivative Financial Instruments (Level 2) – The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its hedging strategy and measures these instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. These derivatives are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2. In addition, the Company enters into IRLCs and LPCs with prospective borrowers and other loan originators. These commitments are carried at fair value based on the fair value of underlying mortgage loans which are based on observable market data. The Company adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised, and the loan will be funded. IRLCs and LPCs are recorded in derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures, as the valuations are based on market observable inputs. The Company has entered into Eurodollar futures contracts as part of its hedging strategy. The futures contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures as the valuation is based on market observable data. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in other assets and payables and other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for more information.

Advance Facilities and Warehouse Facilities (Level 2) – As the underlying warehouse and advance finance facilities bear interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted based on a market index, the carrying amount reported at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value. See Note 10, Indebtedness, for more information.

Unsecured Senior Notes (Level 1) – The fair value of unsecured senior notes, which are carried at amortized cost, is based on quoted market prices and is considered Level 1 from the market observable inputs used to determine fair value. See Note 10, Indebtedness, for more information.

~~Nonrecourse Debt – Legacy Assets (Level 3) –~~ The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. These prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, and are classified as Level 3. See ~~Note 10, Indebtedness, for more information.~~

Excess Spread Financing (Level 3) – The Company estimates fair value on a recurring basis based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, average life, recapture rates and discount rate. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. Excess spread financing is recorded in MSR related liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, for more information.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing Liability (Level 3) - The Company estimates fair value on a recurring basis based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being advance financing rates and annual advance recovery rates. As these assumptions are derived from internally developed valuation models based on the value of the underlying MSRs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. Mortgage servicing rights financing liability is recorded in MSR related liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, for more information.

Participating Interest Financing (Level 3) – The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating that of similar financial instruments. As the prices are derived from both internal models and other observable inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. Participating interest financing is recorded in other nonrecourse debt within the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5, Reverse Mortgage Interests, Net, and Note 10, Indebtedness, for more information.

HECM Securitizations (Level 3) – The Company estimates fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of executed HECM securitizations. Since the executed HECM securitizations are private placements, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. HECM securitizations are recorded at amortized cost in other nonrecourse debt within the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10, Indebtedness for more information.

17. Capital Requirements

Certain of the Company’s secondary market investors require minimum net worth (“capital”) requirements, as specified in the respective selling and servicing agreements. In addition, these investors may require capital ratios in excess of the stated requirements to approve large servicing transfers. To the extent that these requirements are not met, the Company’s secondary market investors may utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or ultimately termination of the Company’s selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit the Company from further originating or securitizing these specific types of mortgage loans or being an approved servicer.

~~Among the~~ The Company’s various capital requirements related to its outstanding selling and servicing agreements ~~which~~ are measured based on the Company’s operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage ~~LLC, the most restrictive of these requires the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth of $823.~~LLC. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory

The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely and currently involved in a significant number of legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, judicial, arbitration, regulatory and governmental proceedings related to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business. The legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration or investigation and are generally based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, employment, contract, tort, common law fraud and other numerous laws, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, National Housing Act, Homeowners Protection Act, Service Member’s Civil Relief Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Lending Act, Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Title 11 of the United States Code (aka the “Bankruptcy Code”), False Claims Act and Making Home Affordable loan modification programs.

In addition, along with others in its industry, the Company is subject to repurchase and indemnification claims and may continue to receive claims in the future, regarding alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to the sale of mortgage loans, the placement of mortgage loans into securitization trusts or the servicing of mortgage loans securitizations. The Company is also subject to legal actions or proceedings related to loss sharing and indemnification provisions of its various acquisitions. Certain of the pending or threatened legal proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory, punitive and/or statutory damages or claims for an indeterminate amount of damages.

The Company’s business is also subject to extensive examinations, investigations and reviews by various federal, state and local governmental, regulatory and enforcement agencies. The Company has historically had a number of open investigations with these agencies and that trend continues. The Company is currently the subject of various governmental or regulatory investigations, subpoenas, examinations and inquiries related to its residential loan servicing and origination practices, bankruptcy and collections practices, its financial reporting and other aspects of its businesses. These matters include investigations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Executive Office of the United States Trustees, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the multi-state committee of mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General. These specific matters and other pending or potential future investigations, subpoenas, examinations or inquiries may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or settlements, and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in the Company’s business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs. Responding to these matters requires the Company to devote substantial resources, resulting in higher costs and lower net cash flows.

For example, the Company continues to progress towards resolution of certain legacy regulatory matters involving examination findings for alleged violations of certain laws related to the Company’s business practices. The Company has been in discussions with the multi-state committee of mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General concerning a potential resolution of their investigations. The Company is continuing to cooperate with all ~~parties. In~~parties and in connection with these discussions, the Company previously recorded an accrual. These discussions may not result in a settlement of the matter; furthermore, any such settlement may exceed the amount accrued as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Moreover, if the discussions do not result in a settlement, the regulators and State Attorneys General may seek to exercise their enforcement authority through litigation or other proceedings and seek injunctive relief, damages, restitution and civil monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, on April 24, 2018, the CFPB notified Nationstar that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (“NORA”) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement is considering whether to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action against the Company, alleging violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Act, and the Homeowners Protection Act, which stems from a 2014 examination. The purpose of a NORA letter is to provide a party being investigated an opportunity to present its position to the CFPB before an enforcement action may be recommended or commenced. The CFPB may seek to exercise its enforcement authority through settlement, administrative proceedings or litigation and seek injunctive relief, damages, restitution and civil monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 because it does not believe that the possible loss or range of loss arising from any such action is estimable. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the CFPB.

Similarly, the Company is in discussions with the Executive Office of the United States Trustees concerning certain legacy issues with respect to bankruptcy servicing practices. In connection with these discussions, the Company is undertaking certain voluntary remediation activities with respect to loans at issue in these matters. While the Company and the Executive Office of the United States Trustees are engaged in discussions to potentially resolve these issues, there is no guarantee a resolution will occur. Moreover, if the discussions do not result in a resolution, the Executive Office of the United States Trustees may seek redress through litigation or other proceedings and seek injunctive relief, damages and restitution in addition to the remediation activities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. However, the Company believes it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate the financial impact to the Company in connection with any potential action or settlement arising from this matter, including the voluntary remediation activities undertaken and to be undertaken by the Company.

The Company is a defendant in a proceeding filed on January 2, 2018 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California under the caption Collateral Analytics LLC v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC et al. The plaintiff alleges that the Company misappropriated plaintiff’s intellectual property for the purpose of replicating plaintiff’s products. The case raises federal and state law claims for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract and seeks an award of actual damages, unjust enrichment, lost profits and/or a reasonable royalty, exemplary damages and injunctive relief preventing further misuse or disclosure of plaintiff’s intellectual property. On October 23, 2019, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter.

The Company is also a defendant in a proceeding filed on October 23, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California under the caption Alfred Zaklit and Jessy Zaklit, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC et al. The plaintiff alleges that the Company improperly recorded telephone calls without the knowledge or consent of borrowers in violation of the California Penal Code. On July 24, 2017, the court certified a class comprised of California borrowers who, from October 2014 to May 2016, participated in outbound telephone conversations with the Company’s employees who recorded the conversations without first informing the borrowers that the conversations were being recorded. The class seeks statutory damages and attorney’s fees. On September 10, 2018, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter, and on August 21, 2019, the court approved the settlement agreement.

~~The Company~~ seeks to resolve all legal proceedings and other matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. The Company has entered into agreements with a number of entities and regulatory agencies that toll applicable limitations periods with respect to their claims.

On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory and governmental proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where available information indicates that it is probable, a liability has been incurred, and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.

As a legal matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is both probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to legal-related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Legal-related expense for the Company, which includes legal settlements and the fees paid to external legal service providers, of ~~$24~~$15 and ~~$56~~$11 for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $5 for the two months ended September 30, 2018, was included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Legal-related expense for the Predecessor of $33 and $40 for the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018, respectively, was included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

For a number of matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material legal matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. For those matters for which an estimate is possible, management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is ~~$20~~$17 to ~~$57~~$47 in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary substantially from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within the estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what management believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure and the Company cannot provide assurance that its litigations reserves will not need to be adjusted in the future. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or this aggregate amount.

In the Company’s experience, legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. One or more of the following factors frequently contribute to this inherent unpredictability: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis or, if permitted to proceed as a class action, how the class will be defined; the other party is seeking relief other than or in addition to compensatory damages (including, in the case of regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, the possibility of fines and penalties); the matter presents meaningful legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; the Company has not engaged in meaningful settlement discussions; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; predicting possible outcomes depends on making assumptions about future decisions of courts or governmental or regulatory bodies or the behavior of other parties; and there are a large number of parties named as defendants (including where it is uncertain how damages or liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants). Generally, the less progress that has been made in the proceedings or the broader the range of potential results, the harder it is for the Company to estimate losses or ranges of losses that is reasonably possible the Company could incur.

Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that the current legal accrued liability within payables and accrued liabilities, is appropriate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although the outcome of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular period depending, on among other things, the level of the Company’s revenues or income for such period. However, in the event of significant developments on existing cases, it is possible that the ultimate resolution, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other Loss Contingencies

As part of the Company’s ongoing operations, it acquires servicing rights of forward and reverse mortgage loan portfolios that are subject to indemnification based on the representations and warranties of the seller. From time to time, the Company will seek recovery under these representations and warranties for incurred costs. The Company believes all balances sought from sellers recorded in advances and other receivables and reverse mortgage interests represent valid claims. However, the Company acknowledges that the claims process can be prolonged due to the required time to perfect claims at the loan level. Because of the required time to perfect or remediate these claims, management relies on the sufficiency of documentation supporting the claim, current negotiations with the counterparty and other evidence to evaluate whether a reserve is required for non-recoverable balances. In the absence of successful negotiations with the seller, all amounts claimed may not be recovered. Balances may be written-off and charged against earnings when management identifies amounts where recoverability from the seller is not likely. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company believes all recorded balances for which recovery is sought from the seller are valid claims, and no evidence suggests additional reserves are warranted.

Loan and Other Commitments

The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. The Company also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for more information.

The Company had certain reverse MSRs, reverse MSLs and reverse mortgage loans related to approximately ~~$23,990~~$21,590 and ~~$28,415~~$22,725 of UPB in reverse mortgage loans as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. As a servicer for these reverse mortgage loans, among other things, the Company is obligated to fund borrowers’ draws to the loan customers as required in accordance with the loan agreement. As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company’s maximum unfunded advance obligation to fund borrower draws related to these MSRs and loans was approximately ~~$2,741~~$2,504 and ~~$3,128,~~$2,617, respectively. Upon funding any portion of these draws, the Company expects to securitize and sell the advances in transactions that will be accounted for as secured borrowings.

19. Business Segment Reporting

~~Upon consummation of the Merger with Nationstar, the Company has identified four reportable segments: Servicing, Originations, Xome and Corporate/Other.~~ The Company’s segments are based upon the Company’s organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the services offered. Corporate functional expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the actual cost of services performed based on direct resource utilization, estimate of percentage use for shared services or headcount percentage for certain functions. Facility costs are allocated to individual segments based on cost per headcount for specific facilities utilized. Group insurance costs are allocated to individual segments based on global cost per headcount. Non-allocated corporate expenses include the administrative costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to Company’s operating segments. Revenues generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties.

~~21. Transactions with Affiliates~~

Nationstar previously entered into arrangements with Fortress Investment Group (“Fortress”), its subsidiaries managed funds, or affiliates for purposes of financing the Company’s MSR acquisitions and performing services as a subservicer. Prior to the Merger with Nationstar on July 31, 2018, an affiliate of Fortress held a majority of the outstanding common shares of the Predecessor. Subsequent to the Merger, Fortress is no longer an affiliate of the Company. Refer to ~~Note 2, Acquisitions, for additional information. The following summarizes the Predecessor’s transactions with affiliates of Fortress prior to the Merger on July, 31 2018.~~

~~New Residential~~

~~Excess Spread Financing~~

The Predecessor has entered into several agreements with certain entities managed by New Residential, in which New Residential and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest (each a “New Residential Entity”). The Predecessor sold to the related New Residential Entity the right to receive a portion of the excess cash flow generated from certain acquired MSRs after a receipt of a fixed base servicing fee per loan. The Predecessor, as the servicer of the loans, retains all ancillary revenues and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after payment of the fixed base servicing fee and also provides all advancing functions for the portfolio. The related New Residential Entity does not have prior or ongoing obligations associated with these MSR portfolios. Should the Company refinance any loan in such portfolios, subject to certain limitations, the Company will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the agreements described above.

The fees paid to New Residential Entity by the Predecessor totaled $17 and $122 during the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction to servicing fee revenue, net.

~~Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing~~

From December 2013 through June 2014, the Predecessor entered into agreements to sell a contractually specified base fee component of certain MSRs and servicing advances under specified terms to a joint venture capitalized by New Residential and certain unaffiliated third-parties. The Company continues to be the named servicer, and, for accounting purposes, ownership of the mortgage servicing rights continues to reside with the Company. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the MSRs and the related MSRs financing liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to sell future servicing advances to New Residential.

~~The Predecessor did not enter into any additional supplemental agreements with these affiliates in 2018.~~

~~Subservicing and Servicing~~

In January 2017, the Predecessor entered into a subservicing agreement with a subsidiary of New Residential. The Predecessor earned $6 and $43 of subservicing fees and other subservicing revenues during the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018, respectively.

In May 2014, the Predecessor entered into a servicing arrangement with New Residential whereby the Predecessor services residential mortgage loans acquired by New Residential and/or its various affiliates and trust entities. For the one and seven months ended July 31, 2018, the Predecessor recognized approximately $1 and $3 related to these service arrangements, respectively.

A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:

the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies; and federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic

our ability to maintain or grow the size of our servicing portfolio;

our ability to maintain or grow our originations volume and profitability;

our ability to recapture voluntary prepayments related to our existing servicing portfolio;

our shift in the mix of our servicing portfolio to subservicing, which is highly concentrated;

delays in our ability to collect or be reimbursed for servicing advances;

our ability to obtain sufficient liquidity and capital to operate our business;

changes in prevailing interest rates;

our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse servicing operations;

our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives;

our ability to realize anticipated benefits of our ~~acquisitions, including Pacific Union, AMS, and Seterus;~~previous acquisitions;

our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes;

changes in our business relationships or changes in servicing guidelines with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae;

Xome’s ability to compete in highly competitive markets;

our ability to pay down debt;

our ability to manage legal and regulatory examinations and enforcement investigations and proceedings, compliance requirements and related costs;

our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; and

our ability to maintain our licenses and other regulatory approvals.

All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business.

Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to ~~Item 1A,~~ Risk ~~Factors,~~Factor, and ~~Item 7,~~ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 for further information on these and other risk factors affecting us.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The following discussion contains, in addition to the historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by such statements.

~~Basis of Presentation~~

~~“Predecessor” financial information in the MD&A relates to Nationstar, and “Successor” relates to Mr. Cooper.~~

The below presentation discusses the results of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflect the results of the Successor. With respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has separately provided the financial results of the Predecessor for the one month ended July 31, 2018, and the seven months ended July 31, 2018, and the financial results of the Successor for the two months ended September 30, 2018, which, in each case, are presented under GAAP.

The below presentation also includes a “Combined” column that combines the Predecessor and Successor results referenced above with respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Although the separate financial results of the Predecessor and Successor for the one month and seven months ended July 31, 2018 and the two months ended September 31, 2018 are presented under GAAP, the results reported in the “Combined” column reflect non-GAAP financial measures, as a different basis of accounting was used with respect to the financial results for the Predecessor as compared to the financial results of the Successor. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of the financial metrics reflected under the “Combined” column as such reconciliation cannot be provided without unreasonable effort as a result of this accounting variance.

The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide additional and supplemental disclosure to evaluate operating results. In particular, the Company believes that providing this “Combined” information is useful as a supplement to its standard GAAP financial presentation as it significantly enhances the period-over-period comparability of the Company’s financial results. In addition, management of the Company uses this “Combined�� presentation to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share data and other key metrics, unless otherwise noted.

Overview

We are a leading servicer and originator of residential mortgage loans, and a provider of real estate services through our Xome subsidiary. Our purpose is to keep the dream of homeownership alive, and we do this as a servicer by helping mortgage borrowers manage what is typically their largest financial asset, and by helping our investors maximize the returns from their portfolios of residential mortgages. We have a track record of significant growth, having expanded our servicing portfolio from $10 billion in 2009 to ~~$641~~$629 billion as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. We believe this track record reflects our strong operating capabilities, which include a proprietary low-cost servicing platform, strong loss mitigation skills, a commitment to compliance, a customer-centric culture, a demonstrated ability to retain customers, growing origination capabilities, and significant investment in technology. More information on the Company is available at ~~investors.mrcoopergroup.com.~~investors.mrcoopergroup.com. Information contained on our websites is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this report.

Our strategy is to position the Company for ~~continued,~~ sustainable long-term growth, ~~includes initiatives to improve~~drive improved efficiency and profitability, and ~~strengthen the balance sheet.~~generate a return on tangible equity of 12% or higher. Key strategic ~~initiatives~~priorities include the following:

Complete Project Titan, our servicing transformation initiative, which consists of a series of interrelated technology initiatives designed to streamline processes, improve customer and team member experiences, and drive efficiency;

~~Identify additional opportunities throughout the organization to drive greater efficiency;~~

Strengthen our balance sheet, by reducing leverage, building liquidity, and ~~reduce leverage;~~

~~Manage the~~managing interest rate ~~risk associated with holding MSRs on balance sheet~~and credit risk;

Improve efficiency by ~~providing existing customers with attractive refinance options, growing~~driving continuous improvement in unit costs for Servicing, Originations, and Xome, as well as by taking corporate actions to eliminate costs throughout the ~~size~~organizations

Grow and ~~improving~~strengthen our customer base, in each our segments

Reinvent the ~~profitability~~customer experience, by acting as the customer’s advocate and by harnessing technology to deliver user-friendly digital solutions

Sustain the talent of our ~~Originations segment (whose results are typically counter-cyclical to those of~~people and the ~~Servicing segment), expanding the size~~culture of our ~~subservicing portfolio through value-added partnerships with MSR owners, and by utilizing excess spread facilities to pass through a portion of the interest rate risk to capital partners; and~~organization

Maintain strong relationships with agencies, investors, regulators, and other counterparties and a strong reputation for compliance and customer service.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic introduces unprecedented uncertainty in the economy, including the risk of a significant employment shock and recessionary conditions, with implications for the health and safety of our employees, borrower delinquency rates, servicing advances, origination volumes, the availability of financing, and our overall profitability and liquidity. We have taken aggressive steps to address these risks, including moving in excess of 95% of our staff to work-from-home status as well as implementing other practices for mitigating the risk of the pandemic, including restrictions on non-essential travel and face-to-face meetings and enhanced sanitization of our facilities. We have also implemented the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which makes available forbearance plans for up to one year for borrowers under government and government agency mortgage programs, which we have extended to borrowers in our private label mortgage servicing portfolio. As of April 27, 2020, approximately 194,000 or 5.6% of our customers were on a forbearance plan.

Depending on how long the pandemic continues to disrupt the economy and employment, our Servicing segment could experience our cost-to-service increase as we deal with higher delinquencies and foreclosures. However, we have not seen a deterioration in 30-day or 60-day delinquencies at this time. We expect servicing costs to be moderately elevated for loans on forbearance, offset by servicing fees earned during the period. As the pandemic began to impact the mortgage capital markets, our Originations segment took several steps to rapidly de-risk the pipeline. We slowed correspondent production, and closed our wholesale lending channel, which had only been marginally profitable and reallocated those resources to the direct-to-consumer channel. As the foreclosure process is currently on hold, with moratoriums in place at the national level and in some local markets, Xome’s revenues, particularly revenues of Exchange division, are expected to be negatively impacted. In the short term, however once the moratoriums are lifted, we expect Xome to return to profitability. See liquidity discussion related to COVID-19 pandemic in Liquidity and Capital Resources section in MD&A.

We recorded a net ~~income~~loss of ~~$83~~$171 during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to a net ~~income~~loss of ~~$956~~$186 during the same period in ~~2018, on a combined basis.~~2019. The net ~~income~~loss in ~~2018~~2020 was ~~higher~~lower primarily due to the income tax benefit. Consolidated operational revenues increased primarily due to increased revenue in our Originations segment, driven by higher originations volume in a declining interest rate environment and incremental volumes associated with the acquisition of Pacific Union, which was completed in February 2019. Partially offsetting the increase in operational revenues was an increase in negative mark-to-market (“MTM”) adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to positive MTM adjustments for the same period in 2018, on a combined basis. Expenses were higher in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to the Nationstar acquisition.

We incurred a net loss of $191 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income of $1,174 during the same period in 2018, on a combined basis. The net loss in 2019 was primarily due to a negative MTM of $607 driven by declining interest rates when compared with a positive MTM of $220 in 2018, on a combined basis. The net income in 2018 was primarily driven by the income tax benefit. Consolidated operational revenue and expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in ~~2018, on a combined basis, largely driven by~~2019. Total expenses for the ~~acquisitions of Pacific Union and Seterus~~three months ended March 31, 2020 were consistent with the same period in ~~February 2019, as well as Xome’s acquisition of AMS in August 2018.~~2019.

Segment Results

Our operations are conducted through four segments: Servicing, Originations, Xome, and Corporate/Other.

The Servicing segment performs operational activities on behalf of investors or owners of the underlying mortgages, including collecting and disbursing borrower payments, investor reporting, customer service, modifying loans where appropriate to help borrowers stay current, and when necessary performing collections, foreclosures, and the sale of REO.

The Originations segment originates residential mortgage loans through our direct-to-consumer channel, which provides refinance options for our existing customers, and through our correspondent and wholesale channels which purchase or originate loans from mortgage bankers and brokers.

The Xome segment provides a variety of real estate services to mortgage originators, mortgage and real estate investors, and mortgage servicers, including valuation, title, and field services, and operates an exchange which facilitates the sale of foreclosed ~~properties, and contains a subsidiary which sells data and technology solutions.~~properties.

The Corporate/Other segment represents unallocated overhead expenses, including the costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to our operating segments, our senior unsecured notes, and the results of a legacy mortgage investment ~~portfolio.~~portfolio, which consists of non-prime and non-conforming residential mortgage loans that were transferred to a securitization trust (“Trust 2009-A”) in 2009. We collapsed Trust 2009-A and executed the sale of the loans held in the trust in September 2019.

For Servicing segment results purposes, all revenue is attributable to servicing the portfolio. Therefore, $37, $7, $3, $90, and $25 of net gain on mortgage loans is moved to service related, net during the three months ended September 30, 2019, two months ended September 30, 2018, one month ended July 31, 2018, nine months ended September 30, 2019, and seven months ended July 31, 2018, respectively. For consolidated results purposes, these amounts were reclassed to net gain on mortgage loans held for sale.



Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment’s strategy is to generate income by growing the portfolio and maximizing the servicing margin. We believe several competitive strengths have been critical to our long-term growth as a servicer, including our low-cost platform, our skill in mitigating losses for investors, our commitment to strong customer service and regulatory compliance, our history of successfully boarding new loans, and the ability to retain existing customers by offering attractive refinance options. We believe that our operational capabilities are reflected in strong servicer ratings.

Servicing Portfolio Composition

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance in our servicing portfolio consisted of approximately ~~$617~~$290.6 billion in forward loans, ~~of which $311~~$316.9 billion ~~was~~in subservicing and ~~$24~~other, and $21.6 billion in reverse mortgage loans.

The term “forward” refers to loans we service which are not “reverse mortgages,” as discussed below.

Our subservicing portfolio consists of loans where we perform the servicing responsibilities for a contractual fee, but do not own the servicing rights and therefore do not ~~hold~~record an MSR on our balance sheet.

Reverse mortgage loans, ~~known as~~most commonly HECMs, provide seniors 62 and older with a loan upon which draws can be made periodically. The draws are secured by the equity in the borrower’s home. We have acquired ~~portfolios of~~our reverse mortgages in prior years through several transactions and ~~our portfolio of reverse mortgages~~it is now in run-off mode. For a significant portion of our reverse mortgages, we ~~hold~~record MSRs on our balance sheet, similar to the accounting for forward mortgages, except in cases where the costs of servicing are expected to exceed revenues, in which case a Mortgage Servicing Liability (“MSL”) is created. Additionally, due to program requirements, we consolidate certain reverse mortgages on our balance sheet and accrue interest income and expense.

The charts below set forth the portfolio mix between serviced, subserviced and reverse mortgage loans, and the composition of our servicing portfolio ending UPB by investor group as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019:

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we incurred a loss before income tax benefit of $325 compared to a loss before income tax benefit of $186 for the same period in 2019. The change in loss before income tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in total revenues, partially offset by a decrease in total expenses. Total revenues decreased primarily as a result of elevated negative mark-to-market revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to negative mark-to-market revenues, partially offset by an increase in operational revenues. The change in the mark-to-market revenue was primarily due to the declining interest rate environment in 2019. The increase in the operational revenues was primarily due to an increase in base servicing and subservicing fees attributable to the increase in the forward and subservicing portfolios, which were largely driven by the acquisitions of Pacific Union and Seterus and the continued growth in subservicing clients’ portfolios. The increase in servicing and subservicing fees was partially offset by an increase in excess spread principal payments and a decrease in reverse servicing fees revenues. Amortization, net of accretion, for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 increased compared to the same period in ~~2018, on a combined basis,~~2019, primarily due to an increase in amortization of forward ~~MSR~~MSRs as a result of growth in the forward MSR portfolio and elevated prepayments driven by the declining interest rate environment. Partially offsetting the increase in amortization of the forward MSR was the accretion of excess spread, as well as the accretion of our reverse MSL that was recorded in 2018 in connection with the Merger.

~~Expenses~~Total expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in ~~2018, on a combined basis,~~2019 primarily due to a decrease in foreclosure and other liquidation ~~related expenses, partially offset by an increase~~expenses. The decrease in ~~salaries, wages and benefits. Foreclosure~~foreclosure and other liquidation ~~related~~ expenses was higher in 2018, on a combined basis, as a result of a refined modeling method, which led to increased reserves related to the reverse mortgage portfolio. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense was a result of an increase in headcount to service the growth in the servicing portfolio primarily driven by operational improvements of the ~~Pacific Union~~reverse portfolio with respect to assignments and ~~Seterus acquisitions. Other~~adherence to HUD curtailment guidelines. Total other income (expense), net ~~increased compared to~~for the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to an increase in interest income driven by rising short-term banking interest rates, coupled with portfolio growth, and a decrease in interest expense due to lower reverse mortgage interest expense.

~~For the nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019, total revenues~~March 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to negative mark-to-market revenues. The change in the mark-to-market revenue was primarily due to the declining interest rate environment in 2019. Partially offsetting the change in mark-to-market revenue was an increase in operational revenue. The increase in the operational revenues was primarily due to an increase in base servicing and subservicing fees and other ancillary revenues. The increase in base servicing and subservicing fees were primarily attributable to the increase in the forward and subservicing portfolios, which were largely driven by the acquisitions of Pacific Union and Seterus and the continued growth in subservicing clients’ portfolios. The increase in other ancillary revenues on a combined basis was primarily due to a gain from the execution of a clean-up call option on a reverse mortgage loan trust during the first quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting the increase in servicing and subservicing fees and other ancillary revenues was a decrease in incentive fees, modification fees and reverse servicing fees revenues, as well as an increase in excess spread principal payments. Amortization, net of accretion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to an increase in amortization of forward MSR as a result of growth in the forward MSR portfolio and elevated prepayments driven by the declining interest rate environment. Partially offsetting the increase in amortization of the forward MSR was the accretion of excess spread, as well as the accretion of our reverse MSL that was recorded in 2018 connection with the Merger.

Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to a decrease in foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses, partially offset an increase in salaries, wages and benefits. Foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses were higher in 2018, on a combined basis, as a result of a refined modeling method, which led to increased reserves related to the reverse mortgage portfolio. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits expense was a result of an increase in headcount to service the growth in the servicing portfolio primarily driven by the Pacific Union and Seterus acquisitions. Other income (expense), net, on a combined basis increased primarily due to a decrease in interest ~~expense as a result of the accretion of the HMBS bond premium, as well as~~income. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in income earned on reverse mortgage interest, ~~expense~~primarily driven by the decline in the reverse mortgage interests balance and the amortization of a net premium into income. Refer to Table 10. Servicing - Revenues, Table 11. Servicing - Expenses and Table 12.

~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,~~As of March 31, 2020, our forward servicing UPB decreased when compared to 2019, primarily due to increased voluntary reductions in a low interest rate environment, partially offset by increased origination volumes. As of March 31, 2020, our subservicing and ~~subservicing~~other portfolio ending UPB increased when compared to ~~2018,~~2019, primarily ~~due to increased boarding of loans generated from the acquisitions of Pacific Union and Seterus, and the~~driven by portfolio growth from our subservicing ~~clients.

⁽³⁾	The weighted average coupon amounts ~~for our credit and interest sensitive pools~~ presented in the table above are only reflective of our owned forward MSR portfolio that is reported at fair value.


⁽⁴⁾	Loan delinquency is based on the current contractual due date of the loan. In the case of a completed loan modification, delinquency is based on the modified due date of the loan.

Delinquency is a significant assumption in determining the mark-to-market adjustment and is a key indicator of MSR portfolio performance. Delinquent loans contribute to lower MSR values due to higher costs to service and increased carrying costs of advances. We continue to experience low delinquency rates during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020 which preserves the value of our MSRs. At this time, it is too early to estimate the potential impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on future delinquencies.

The amount of MSR MTM includes the impact of negative modeled cash flows which have been transferred to reserves on advances and other receivables. The negative modeled cash flows relate to advances and other receivables associated with inactive and liquidated loans that are no longer part of the MSR portfolio. The impact of negative modeled cash flows was ~~$18~~$10 and $11 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019. The impact of negative modeled cash flows, on a combined basis, for the Predecessor was $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The amount of MSR MTM includes the impact of negative modeled cash flows which have been transferred to reserves on advances and other receivables. The negative modeled cash flows relate to advances and other receivables associated with inactive and liquidated loans that are no longer part of the MSR portfolio. The impact of negative modeled cash flows was $46 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The impact of negative modeled cash flows, on a combined basis, for the Predecessor was $51 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Forward~~ - Due to the increase of the forward MSR portfolio’s UPB, base servicing fee revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis. The improvement in delinquency rates as of September 30, 2019 contributed to the decrease in modification fees. Other ancillary revenues increased primarily due to the gain on sale from the securitization of reperforming GNMA loans and the collapse of Trust 2009-A.

MSR prepayment and scheduled amortization increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to the increase in the average forward MSR UPB and higher prepayments driven by the lower interest rate environment.

Total MTM adjustments were negative in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to positive MTM adjustments in the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to the declining interest rate environment during 2019.

~~Subservicing~~ ~~- Subservicing fees increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis,~~ due to significant growth in the subservicing portfolio UPB.

Reverse - Servicing fees and reverse MSL accretion on reverse mortgage portfolios for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 decreased as compared to the same period in ~~2018, on a combined basis,~~2019, primarily due to the decline in the reverse mortgage portfolio. Reverse MSL accretion was further impacted by $6 pertaining to accumulated accretion recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to fair value adjustments for MSL assumed from the Merger. The fair value adjustment resulted from the revised cost to service assumption used in the valuation of MSL during the measurement period.

Total expenses decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to a decrease in foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses, partially offset by increased salaries, wages and benefits expense and corporate and other general and administrative expenses. Foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses were higher in 2018, on a combined basis, as a result of a refined modeling method, which led to increased reserves related to the reverse mortgage portfolio. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits is primarily due to the expansion of the servicing portfolio and an increase in headcount largely driven by the Pacific Union and Seterus acquisitions. The increase in corporate and other general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of higher expenses related to our initiatives to increase operational efficiencies and enhance overall customer experience.

Total other income (expenses), net increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily due to an increase in interest income. Interest income increased primarily due to an increase in other interest income as a result of $62 of earnings credits and bank fee credits the Predecessor previously classified as interest expense, coupled with higher interest income due to higher yields on custodial balances combined with higher balances driven by portfolio growth. Offsetting the increase in other interest income was a decrease in reverse mortgage interest income, which was related to the decline in the reverse mortgage interests balance. Interest expense as a total remained consistent during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis. Reverse mortgage interest expense decreased due the decline in the reverse mortgage interest portfolio balance, as well as the accretion of the HMBS bond premium, and was offset by an increase in other interest expense. Other interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $35 in excess spread costs and $62 of earnings credits and bank fee credits the Predecessor previously classified as interest expense and $11 of compensating interest expense driven by higher payoff volume.portfolio.

As of March 31, 2020, when measuring the fair value of the portfolio as a basis point of the unpaid principal balance, our credit sensitive pool decreased in value by 9 bps and interest sensitive pool decreased in value 13 bps, compared to December 31, 2019 due to higher forecasted prepayment speeds as a result of the declining interest rate environment in 2020.

We assess whether acquired portfolios are more credit sensitive or interest sensitive in nature on the date of ~~the~~ acquisition. We consider numerous factors in making this assessment, with the primary factors consisting of the overall portfolio delinquency characteristics, portfolio seasoning and residential mortgage loan composition. Interest rate sensitive portfolios typically consist of single-family conforming residential forward mortgage loans serviced for GSEs or other third-party investors.

The weighted-average discount rate for ~~credit sensitive and interest sensitive~~total MSRs portfolio decreased as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in ~~2018~~2019 due to the declining interest rate environment in ~~2019. Weighted average lives~~2020. Weighted-average life for total MSRs portfolio decreased ~~for both credit sensitive and interest sensitive MSRs~~ due to the increase in prepayment speeds, which was attributable to the interest rate decline period over period.

The discount rate, which is used to determine the present value of estimated future net servicing income, is based on the required rate of return market investors would expect for an asset with similar risk characteristics. The discount rate is determined through review of recent market transactions as well as comparing the discount rate to those utilized by third-party valuation ~~specialists and market surveys.~~specialists.

Total prepayment speeds represent the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal, which includes estimates for both voluntary and involuntary borrower liquidations. The expected ~~weighted average~~weighted-average life represents the total years we expect to service the MSR.

In determining key assumptions in estimating fair value of forward MSRs, we took into account the situations created by COVID-19 pandemic.

Excess Spread Financing

As further disclosed in Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, we have entered into sale and assignment agreements treated as financing arrangements whereby the acquirer has the right to receive a specified percentage of the excess cash flow generated from an MSR.

The servicing fees associated with an MSR can be segregated into (i) a base servicing fee and (ii) an excess servicing fee. The base servicing fee, along with ancillary income and other revenues, is designed to cover costs incurred to service the specified pool plus a reasonable margin. The remaining servicing fee is considered excess. We sell a percentage of the excess fee as a method for efficiently financing acquired ~~MSRs. Excess spread financings are presently applicable only to acquired~~ MSRs and ~~originated pools~~the purchase of ~~loans; however, they can be entered into at any time for both acquired and originated MSRs.~~loans.

Excess spread financings are recorded at fair value, and the impact of fair value adjustments on future revenues and capital resources varies primarily due to ~~changes in~~ (i) prepayment speeds and (ii) our ability to recapture mortgage ~~loan payoffs~~prepayments through the origination platform. InSee Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, ~~we discuss~~for additional information regarding the range of assumptions and sensitivities related to the measurement of the excess spread financing liability as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

⁽¹⁾	The changes in fair value related to our MSRs financing liability primarily relate to both scheduled and unscheduled principal payments reflected in the underlying MSRs and changes in the fair value model assumptions.

We entered into several sale agreements whereby we sold the right to receive repayment of servicing advances on private-label servicing advances and the right to receive a portion of the base fee component on the related MSRs, and also transferred the obligations to make future advances. These transactions are ~~treated~~recorded as aan MSR Financing ~~Liability. The~~Liability in our consolidated balance ~~sheet entry for these financings represents~~sheets and represent the ~~component of fair value that reflects the excess cost of these transactions~~incremental costs relative to the ~~cost of financing advances assumed~~market participant assumptions contained in the MSR valuation. Changes in the value of the ~~corresponding~~ MSR ~~and the change in fair value is~~financing liability are recorded against servicing revenue and interest imputed on the outstanding liability is recorded as interest expense.

We estimate fair value of the MSR financing liability based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market ~~value~~rate for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being advance financing rates and annual advance recovery rates.

Historically, the ~~Predecessor~~Company acquired servicing rights and participating interests in reverse mortgage portfolios. Reverse mortgage loans, ~~known as~~most commonly HECMs, provide seniors 62 and older with a loan upon which draws can be made periodically. The draws are secured by the equity in the borrower’s home. For acquired servicing rights, ~~on reverse mortgages,~~ an MSR or MSL is established on the acquisition date at fair value, as applicable, based on the expected discounted cash flow from servicing the reverse portfolio.

Each quarter, we accrete the MSL to revenues - service related, ~~revenue,~~ net of the respective portfolios run-off. The MSL is assessed for increased obligation based on its fair value, using a variety of assumptions, with the key assumptions being discount rates, prepayment speeds and borrower life expectancy. The MSLs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying serviced loans. Impairment, if any, represents the excess of amortized cost of an individual stratum over its estimated fair value and is recognized through an increase in the valuation allowance.

Based on our assessment, no impairment or increased obligation was required to be recorded for reverse MSRs and MSLs as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.



Originations Segment

The strategy of our Originations segment is to originate or acquire new loans for the servicing portfolio at a more attractive cost than purchasing MSRs in bulk transactions and to retain our existing customers by providing them with attractive refinance options. The Originations segment plays a strategically important role because its profitability is typically ~~counter-cyclical~~counter cyclical to that of the Servicing segment. Furthermore, by originating or acquiring loans at a more attractive cost than would be the case in bulk MSR acquisitions, the Originations segment improves our overall profitability and cash flow. Growing the Originations segment has been a strategic focus for us for several years.

The Originations segment includes three channels:

Our direct-to-consumer lending channel relies on our call centers, our website and mobile apps to interact with customers. Our primary focus is to assist our customers with a refinance or home purchase by providing them with a needs-based approach to understanding their current mortgage options.

Our correspondent lending channel acquires newly originated residential mortgage loans that have been underwritten to investor guidelines. This includes both conventional and government-insured loans that qualify for inclusion in securitizations that are guaranteed by the GSEs. Our correspondent lending channel enables us to replenish servicing portfolio run-off typically at better rate of return than traditional bulk or flow acquisitions.

Our wholesale lending channel works with mortgage brokers to source loans which are underwritten and funded by us ~~and also~~ in our name. Counterparty risk is mitigated through quality and compliance monitoring and all brokers are subject to our eligibility requirements coupled with an annual recertification process. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we closed our wholesale lending channel.

Originations Segment Revenues

Service related fee, net - Originations refers to fees collected from customers for ~~direct-to-consumer~~originated loans and from ~~wholesale customers~~other lenders for loans purchased through the correspondent channel, and includes loan application, underwriting, and other similar fees.

~~Gain~~Net gain on loans originated and sold represents the ~~cash proceeds~~gains and losses from ~~selling~~the origination, purchase, and sale of loans ~~net~~and related derivative instruments. Gains from the origination and sale of ~~the cost to fund them. Gain on~~ loans ~~originated and sold is~~are affected by the volume ~~margin~~ and ~~channel mix~~margin of our originations activity and is impacted by ~~fluctuations~~fluctuation in interest rates.

~~Fair value adjustment on loans held for sale~~ represents mark-to-market changes in the value of loans which have been funded and are being held on balance sheet prior to sale or securitization. We enter into derivative transactions to hedge the value of these loans, and changes in the value of derivatives are reported in the line of “mark-to-market on derivatives/hedges.”

~~Mark-to-market on locks and commitments~~ represents the recognition of the total estimated revenue from originating and selling a loan, at the time that a direct-to-consumer channel customer elects to “lock” the loan at an agreed-upon interest rate, or when we commit to purchase or fund a loan from a correspondent or wholesale customer. In calculating this revenue estimate, we estimate the percentage of loans that will fall out of pipeline prior to funding, and the total estimated volume is referred to as “Pull-through Adjusted Lock Volume”. The magnitude of this line is a function of the profitability, mix, and trend in locks and commitments during the period relative to funded volumes. For loans funded during the period, the estimated revenue is reported in the line of “fair value adjustment on loans held for sale”. At the time of lock or commitment, we enter into derivative transactions designed to hedge the pipeline of locks and commitments against changes in interest rates. Changes in the value of these derivatives are reported in the line of “mark-to-market on derivatives/hedges.”

Capitalized servicing rights represents the fair value attributed to mortgage servicing rights ~~that~~at the time in which they are retained in connection with the sale of loans during the period.

Income before income tax expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily driven by an increase in expenses, partially offset by an increase in revenues and other income (expenses), net. The increase in expenses is primarily related to AMS, which was acquired in August 2018. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the AMS acquisition, which added to higher volumes of units for valuation and field services. Other income (expenses), net increased primarily due to the $15 change in the contingent consideration for the acquisition of AMS for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Exchange revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily as a result of lower foreclosure sales and inventories across the industry and nation. Although total property listings sold declined in 2019, revenues from third-party customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased significantly to 24% from 15% in 2018 for the Exchange division.

~~Services revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, on a combined basis, primarily as a result of the August 2018 acquisition of AMS.~~



Corporate/Other Segment

Our Corporate/Other segment records corporate expenses that are not directly attributable to our operating segments, interest expense on our unsecured senior notes, and income or loss from our legacy portfolio of non-prime and non-conforming residential mortgage loans that were transferred to a securitization trust (Trust 2009-A) in 2009. We collapsed Trust 2009-A and executed the sale of the loans held in the trust in September 2019.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$1,237~~$1,216 collateral pledged against the MSR facilities, of which we could borrow ~~up to $840.~~an additional $705. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, operating activities used cash totaling ~~$28.~~

Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by the receipt of servicing fees, changes in our servicing advance balances, the level of new loan production, the timing of sales and securitizations of forward and reverse mortgage loans, and revenues from our Xome segment.

~~We have sufficient borrowing capacity to support our operations.~~$710. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, total available borrowing capacity is ~~$9,530,~~$9,690, of which ~~$4,214~~$4,648 is unused.

We expect the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to result in a significant increase in servicing advances and liquidity demands related to the utilization of forbearance programs offered by the CARES Act. Based on current modeling of expected forbearance rates within our portfolio, we believe that we are well-positioned to manage a significant increase in advances. In April 2020, we expanded our committed advance facility capacity by $850, including an expansion of capacity for private label advances for $200, which we believe will be adequate for our needs. We plan to finance GNMA advances with existing MSR lines and corporate cash flow, along with GNMA’s Pass-Through Assistance Program as a backup. For non-agency servicing, we are reimbursed for advances relatively quickly, which should limit growth in balances even with higher forbearance rates.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of funds for liquidity include: (i) servicing fees and ancillary revenues; (ii) payments received from sale or securitization of loans; (iii) payments from the liquidation or securitization of our outstanding participating interests in reverse mortgage loans; (iv) advance and warehouse facilities, other secured borrowings and the unsecured senior notes; and (v) payments received in connection with the sale of advance receivables and excess spread.

Our primary uses of funds for liquidity include: (i) funding of servicing ~~advances;~~advances, which are expected to increase in the near future due to COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) originations of loans; (iii) payment of interest expenses; (iv) payment of operating expenses; (v) repayment of borrowings and repurchases or redemptions of outstanding indebtedness; (vi) payments for acquisitions of MSRs; (vii) scheduled and unscheduled draws on our serviced reverse residential mortgage loans; and (viii) payment of our technology expenses.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation, investigations and reviews by various federal, state and local regulatory and enforcement agencies. We are also subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Addressing these regulations, reviews and legal proceedings and implementing any resulting remedial measures may require us to devote substantial resources to legal and regulatory compliance or to make other changes to our business practices, resulting in higher costs which may adversely affect our cash flows.

We believe that our cash flows from operating activities, as well as capacity through existing facilities, provide adequate resources to fund our anticipated ongoing cash requirements. We rely on these facilities to fund operating activities. As the facilities mature, we anticipate renewal of these facilities will be achieved. Future debt maturities will be funded with cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities and, if necessary, future access to capital markets. We continue to optimize the use of balance sheet cash to avoid unnecessary interest carrying costs.

~~We service reverse~~ Reverse mortgage ~~loan portfolios with a UPB of $23,990 as of September 30, 2019, which includes $2,761 of reverse MSR, $14,641 of reverse MSLs and $6,588 of reverse mortgage interests. Reverse mortgages~~loans provide seniors with the ability to monetize the equity in their homes in a lump sum, line of credit or monthly draws. The unpaid principal balance of the loan is accreted for borrower draws and other costs such as mortgage insurance premiums, property taxes and insurance, as wells as applicable servicing fees earned and the interest applicable to the underlying principal. Recovery of advances and draws related to reverse MSLs is generally recovered over a two to three month period from the investor. However, for reverse assets recorded as a loan, the repayment of loan balances and collection of servicing fees occurs upon the payoff or other liquidation of the loan. We securitize our holdings in reverse mortgage loans in order to finance subsequent borrower draws and loan related costs.

Capital Resources

Capital Structure and Debt

We require access to external financing resources from time to time depending on our cash requirements, assessments of current and anticipated market conditions and after-tax cost of capital. If needed, we believe additional capital could be raised through a combination of issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness, asset-backed acquisition financing and/or cash from operations. Our access to capital markets can be impacted by factors outside our control, including economic conditions.

In April 2020, we expanded our committed advance capacity by $850.

Financial Covenants

Our credit facilities contain various financial covenants, which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability ~~requirements, which~~requirements.

Advance Facilities

As part of our normal course of business, we borrow money to fund servicing advances. Our servicing agreements require that we advance our own funds to meet contractual principal and interest payments for certain investors, and to pay taxes, insurance, foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. Delinquency rates and prepayment speeds affect the size of servicing advance balances, ~~along with~~and we exercise our ability to stop advancing principal and interest where the pooling and servicing agreements permit, where the advance ~~policies.~~is deemed to be non-recoverable from future proceeds. These servicing requirements affect our liquidity. We rely upon several counterparties to provide us with financing facilities to fund a portion of our servicing advances. ~~Pursuant to the terms of our agreements, New Residential has the obligation to fund future advances on the private-label securitized loans subject to the agreements.~~

Warehouse Facilities

Loan origination activities generally require short-term liquidity in excess of amounts generated by our operations. The loans we originate are financed through several warehouse lines on a short-term basis. We typically hold the loans for approximately 30 days and then sell or place the loans in government securitizations in order to repay the borrowings under the warehouse lines. Our ability to fund current operations depends upon our ability to secure these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms and to renew or replace the financings as they expire.

As a servicer for reverse mortgage loans, among other things, we are required to fund borrower draws on the loans. We typically pool borrower draws for approximately 30 days before including them in a HMBS securitization. ~~At September 30, 2019,~~As of March 31, 2020, unsecuritized borrower draws totaled ~~$265,~~$64, and our maximum unfunded advance obligation related to these reverse mortgage loans was ~~$2,741.~~$2,504.

Unsecured Senior Notes

In ~~2013~~2018 and ~~2018,~~2020, we completed offerings of unsecured senior notes, which mature on various dated through ~~July 2026.~~January 2027. We pay interest semi-annually to the holders of these notes at interest rates ranging from ~~6.500%~~6.000% to 9.125%.

Critical Accounting Policies

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified the following policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to fair value measurements, particularly those determined to be Level 3 as discussed in Note 16, Fair Value Measurements, in notes to consolidated financial statements, business combinations and goodwill, and valuation and ~~reserves for~~realization of deferred tax assets. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of these critical accounting policies on our consolidated financial statements, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition. Fair value measurements considered to be Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs include (i) the valuation of MSRs, (ii) the valuation of excess spread financing and (iii) the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights financing liability. For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s ~~and Predecessor’s~~ Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we updated the policies for reserves related to certain financial assets that are subject to CECL accounting in connection with adoption of ASU 2016-13. The update did not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 1, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, in the consolidated financial statements which is incorporated herein for details.

Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions from the general principles in Topic 740 including elimination of the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items such as other comprehensive income. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and amends certain guidance in Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods, with early adoption of all amendments in the ~~expected~~same period permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2019-12, but does not believe it will have a material impact on ~~our~~its consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Further, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

HECMs provide seniors aged 62 and older with a loan secured by their home which can be taken as a lump sum, line of credit, or scheduled payments. HECM loan balances grow over the loan term through borrower draws of scheduled payments or line of credit draws as well as through the accrual of interest and FHA mortgage insurance premiums. In accordance with FHA guidelines, HECMs are designed to ~~help eligible homeowners avoid~~repay through foreclosure ~~through mortgage loan modifications. Participating servicers may be entitled to receive financial incentives in connection with loan modifications they enter into with eligible borrowers~~ and subsequent ~~success fees~~liquidation of loan collateral after the loan becomes due and payable.

~~Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM).~~A type of ~~reverse mortgage loan insured~~asset-backed security that is secured by ~~the FHA.~~a group of HECM loans.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments ~~(IRLC)~~(“IRLC”). Agreements under which the interest rate and the maximum amount of the mortgage loan are set prior to funding the mortgage loan.

Interest-Sensitive Loan. A mortgage loan which is primarily impacted by changes in forecasted interest rates, which in turn impacts voluntary prepayment speed. Interest-sensitive loans typically consist of single-family conforming residential forward mortgage loans serviced for GSEs or other third-party investors.

Loan Modification. Temporary or permanent modifications to loan terms with the borrower, including the interest rate, amortization period and term of the borrower’s original mortgage loan. Loan modifications are usually made to loans that are in default, or in imminent danger of defaulting.

Loan-to-Value Ratio ~~(LTV)~~(“LTV”). The unpaid principal balance of a mortgage loan as a percentage of the total appraised or market value of the property that secures the loan. An LTV over 100% indicates that the UPB of the mortgage loan exceeds the value of the property.

Lock period. A set of periods of time that a lender will guarantee a specific rate is set prior to funding the mortgage loan.

Loss Mitigation. The range of servicing activities provided by a servicer in an attempt to minimize the losses suffered by the owner of a defaulted mortgage loan. Loss mitigation techniques include short-sales, deed-in-lieu of foreclosures and loan modifications, among other options.

Mortgage-Backed Securities ~~(MBS)~~(“MBS”).A type of asset-backed security that is secured by a group of mortgage loans.

Mortgage Servicing Right ~~(MSR)~~(“MSRs”). The right and obligation to service a loan or pool of loans and to receive a servicing fee as well as certain ancillary income. MSRs may be bought and sold, resulting in the transfer of loan servicing obligations. MSRs are designated as such when the benefits of servicing the loans are expected to adequately compensate the servicer for performing the servicing.

MSR Facility. A ~~type of~~ line of credit backed by mortgage servicing rights that is used for financing purposes. In certain cases, these lines may be a sub-limit of another warehouse facility or alternatively exist on a stand-alone basis. These facilities allow for same or ~~next-day~~next day draws at the request of the borrower.

Mortgage Servicing Liability ~~(MSL)~~(“MSL”). The right and obligation to service a loan or pool of loans and to receive a servicing fee as well as certain ancillary income. MSLs may be bought and sold, resulting in the transfer of loan servicing obligations. MSLs are designated as such when the benefits of servicing the loans are not expected to adequately compensate the servicer for performing the servicing.

Non-Conforming Loan. A mortgage loan that does not meet the standards of eligibility for purchase or securitization by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.

Originations. The process through which a lender provides a mortgage loan to a borrower.

Pull through adjusted lock volume. Represents the expected funding from locks taken during the period.

Prepayment Speed. The rate at which voluntary ~~and involuntary~~ mortgage prepayments occur or are projected to occur. The statistic is calculated on an annualized basis and expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance.

Primary Servicer. The servicer that owns the right to service a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. This differs from a subservicer, which has a contractual agreement with the primary servicer to service a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans in exchange for a subservicing fee based upon portfolio volume and characteristics.

Prime Mortgage Loan. Generally, a high-quality mortgage loan that meets the underwriting standards set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and is eligible for purchase or securitization in the secondary mortgage market. Prime Mortgage loans generally have lower default risk and are made to borrowers with excellent credit records and a monthly income at least three to four times greater than their monthly housing expenses (mortgage payments plus taxes and other debt payments) as well as significant other assets. Mortgages not classified as prime mortgage loans are generally called either sub-prime or Alt-A.

Private Label Securitizations. Securitizations that do not meet the criteria set by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.

Real Estate Owned ~~(REO)~~(”REO”). Property acquired by the servicer on behalf of the owner of a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans, usually through foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a defaulted loan. The servicer or a ~~third party~~third-party real estate management firm is responsible for selling the REO. Net proceeds of the sale are returned to the owner of the related loan or loans. In most cases, the sale of REO does not generate enough to pay off the balance of the loan underlying the REO, causing a loss to the owner of the related mortgage loan.

Recapture. The refinancing of a loan currently in the portfolio, or the financing of a customer’s new purchase which resulted in the payoff of an existing loan.

Refinancing. The process of working with existing borrowers to ~~re-originate~~refinance their mortgage loans. By refinancing loans for borrowers we currently service, we retain the servicing rights, thereby extending the longevity of the servicing cash flows.

Reverse ~~Mortgage.~~Mortgage Loan. A reverse mortgage loan, most commonly a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, enables seniors to borrow against the value of their home, and no payment of principal or interest is required until the death of the borrower or the sale of the home. These loans are designed to go through the foreclosure and claim process to recover loan balance.

Servicing. The performance of contractually specified administrative functions with respect to a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. Duties of a servicer typically include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic monthly statements to the borrower and monthly reports to the loan owners or their agents, managing insurance, monitoring delinquencies, executing foreclosures (as necessary), and remitting fees to guarantors, trustees and service providers. A servicer is generally compensated with a specific fee outlined in the contract established prior to the commencement of the servicing activities.

Servicing Advances. In the course of servicing loans, servicers are required to make advances that are reimbursable from collections on the related mortgage loan or pool of loans. There are typically three types of servicing advances: P&I advances, T&I Advances and Corporate Advances.

(i) P&I advances cover scheduled payments of principal and interest that have not been timely paid by borrowers. P&I Advances serve to facilitate the cash flows paid to holders of securities issued by the residential MBS trust. The servicer is not the insurer or guarantor of the MBS and thus has the right to cease the advancing of P&I, when the servicer deems the next advance nonrecoverable.

(ii) T&I advances pay specified expenses associated with the preservation of a mortgaged property or the liquidation of defaulted mortgage loans, including but not limited to property taxes, insurance premiums or other property-related expenses that have not been timely paid by borrowers in order for the lien holder to maintain its interest in the property.

(iii) Corporate advances pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in foreclosing upon, preserving defaulted loans and selling REO, including attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with foreclosure and liquidation or other legal proceedings arising in the course of servicing the defaulted mortgage loans.

Servicing advances are reimbursed to the servicer if and when the borrower makes a payment on the underlying mortgage loan at the time the loan is modified or upon liquidation of the underlying mortgage loan but are primarily the responsibility of the investor/owner of the loan. The types of servicing advances that a servicer must make are set forth in its servicing agreement with the owner of the mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. In some instances, a servicer is allowed to cease Servicing Advances, if those advances will not be recoverable from the property securing the loan.

Subservicing. Subservicing is the process of outsourcing the duties of the primary servicer to a ~~third party~~third-party servicer. The ~~third party~~third-party servicer performs the servicing responsibilities for a fee and ~~makes~~is typically not responsible for making servicing advances, which are subsequently reimbursed by the primary servicer. The ~~Servicer~~primary servicer is contractually liable to the owner of the loans for the activities of the subservicer.

Unpaid Principal Balance ~~(UPB)~~(“UPB”). The amount of principal outstanding on a mortgage loan or a pool of mortgage loans. UPB is used together with the servicing fees and ancillary incomes as a means of estimating the future revenue stream for a servicer.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). The USDA is a cabinet-level department of the U.S. federal government, which guarantees certain home loans for qualified borrowers.

Warehouse Facility. A type of line of credit facility used to temporarily finance mortgage loan originations to be sold in the secondary market. Pursuant to a warehouse facility, a loan originator typically agrees to transfer to a counterparty certain mortgage loans against the transfer of funds by the ~~counterparty,~~counterpart, with a simultaneous agreement by the counterpart to transfer the loans back to the originator at a date certain, or on demand, against the transfer of funds from the originator.

Wholesale Originations. A type of mortgage loan origination pursuant to which a lender acquires refinancing and purchase money mortgage loans from third party correspondent lenders where the lender funds the loan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Refer to the discussion included in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. There have been no material changes in the types of market risks faced by us since December 31, ~~2018.~~2019 except for the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Sensitivity Analysis

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.

We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our loan portfolio, certain other interest-bearing liabilities measured at fair value and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The primary assumption used in these models is that an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.

We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on MSRs. The primary assumptions in this model are prepayment speeds, earnings related to float and market discount rates. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between MBS, swaps and U.S. Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. For mortgage loans, IRLCs and forward delivery commitments on MBS, we rely on a model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. In addition, the primary assumption used for IRLCs, is the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment.

Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

We used ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Results could differ materially.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a state licensed, non-bank mortgage lender, servicer and ancillary services provider. From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in a number of legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, judicial, arbitration, regulatory and governmental proceedings relating to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of our business. These legal proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our mortgage servicing and lending activities including, without limitation, consumer protection laws, but may also include alleged violations of securities, employment, contract, tort, common law fraud and other laws. Legal proceedings include open and pending examinations, information gathering requests and investigations by governmental, regulatory and enforcement agencies as well as litigation in judicial forums and arbitration proceedings.

Our business is subject to extensive examinations, investigations and reviews by various federal, state and local governmental, regulatory and enforcement agencies. We have historically had and continue to have a number of open investigations with these agencies. We continue to receive governmental and regulatory requests for information, subpoenas, examinations and other inquiries. We are currently the subject of various governmental or regulatory investigations, subpoenas, examinations and inquiries related to our residential loan servicing and origination practices, bankruptcy and collections practices, financial reporting and other aspects of our businesses. These matters include investigations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Executive Office of the United States Trustees, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the multi-state coalition of mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General. These specific matters and other pending or potential future investigations, subpoenas, examinations or inquiries may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or settlements and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in our business practices and in additional expenses and collateral costs. We are cooperating fully in these matters.

For example, we continue to progress towards resolution of certain legacy regulatory matters involving examination findings in prior years for alleged violations of certain laws related to our business practices. We have been in discussions with the multi-state committee of mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General concerning a potential resolution of their investigations. We are continuing to cooperate with all parties. In connection with these discussions, we previously recorded an accrual. These discussions may not result in a settlement of the matter; furthermore, any such settlement may exceed the amount accrued as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Moreover, if the discussions do not result in a settlement, the regulators and State Attorneys General may seek to exercise their enforcement authority through litigation or other proceedings and seek injunctive relief, damages, restitution and civil monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, on April 24, 2018, the CFPB notified us that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (NORA) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement is considering whether to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action against us, alleging violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Act, and the Homeowners Protection Act, which stems from a 2014 examination. The purpose of a NORA letter is to provide a party being investigated an opportunity to present its position to the CFPB before an enforcement action may be recommended or commenced. The CFPB may seek to exercise its enforcement authority through settlement, administrative proceedings or litigation and seek injunctive relief, damages, restitution and civil monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. We have not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as we do not believe that the possible loss or range of loss arising from any such action is estimable. We are continuing to cooperate with the CFPB.

Similarly, we are in discussions with the Executive Office of the United States Trustees concerning certain legacy issues with respect to bankruptcy servicing practices. In connection with these discussions, we are undertaking certain voluntary remediation activities with respect to loans at issue in these matters. While we and the Executive Office of the United States Trustees are engaged in discussions to potentially resolve these issues, there is no guarantee a resolution will occur. Moreover, if the discussions do not result in a resolution, the Executive Office of the United States Trustees may seek redress through litigation or other proceedings and seek injunctive relief, damages and restitution in addition to the remediation activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. However, we believe it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate the financial impact to us in connection with any potential action or settlement arising from this matter, including the voluntary remediation activities undertaken and to be undertaken by us.

We are a defendant in a proceeding filed on January 2, 2018 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California under the caption Collateral Analytics LLC v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC et al. The plaintiff alleges that we and certain affiliated entities misappropriated plaintiff’s intellectual property for the purpose of replicating plaintiff’s products. The case raises federal and state law claims for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract and seeks an award of actual damages, unjust enrichment, lost profits and/or a reasonable royalty, exemplary damages and injunctive relief preventing further misuse or disclosure of plaintiff’s intellectual property. On October 23, 2019, we reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter.

We are also a defendant in a proceeding filed on October 23, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California under the caption Alfred Zaklit and Jessy Zaklit, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC et al. The plaintiff alleges that we improperly recorded telephone calls without the knowledge or consent of borrowers in violation of the California Penal Code. On July 24, 2017, the court certified a class comprised of California borrowers who, from October 2014 to May 2016, participated in outbound telephone conversations with our employees who recorded the conversations without first informing the borrowers that the conversations were being recorded. The class seeks statutory damages and attorney’s fees. On September 10, 2018, we reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter and on August 21, 2019, the court approved the settlement agreement.

Responding to these matters requires us to devote substantial resources, resulting in higher costs and lower net cash flows. Adverse results in any of these matters could further increase our operating expenses and reduce our revenues, require us to change business practices and limit our ability to grow and otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to the risk factors previously disclosed under “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, except for the following:

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
