SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains certain forward‑lookingforward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward‑lookingForward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward‑lookingforward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions. 

 

Forward‑lookingForward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward‑lookingforward-looking information. Examples of forward‑lookingforward-looking statements include the following:

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

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

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward‑lookingforward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2019.February 28, 2020.

 

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

·

our exposure to risks of loss resulting from adverse weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters, the effect of climate change, and pandemics, such as COVID-19;

changes to government mortgage modification programs;

·

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI” or the “Company”) is a holding corporation and its primary assets are direct and indirect equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). The Company is the managing member of PennyMac, and it operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of PennyMac, and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its subsidiaries.

PennyMac is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries, engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PennyMac’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential mortgage and home equity loan production and loan servicing. PennyMac’s investment management activities and a portion of its loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of anPennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a real estate mortgage investment vehicletrust that invests primarily in residential mortgage and home equity loans and relatedmortgage-related assets. PennyMac’s primary wholly owned subsidiaries are:

·

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

Presently, PCM has a management agreement with PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a publicly held real estate investment trust. Previously, PCM had management agreements with PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P. an affiliate of these registered funds, and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC (collectively, the “Investment Funds”). The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

·

PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) — a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage and home equity loans on behalf of non-affiliates and PMT, purchases, originates and sells new prime credit quality residential mortgage and home equity loans and engages in other mortgage banking activities for its own account and the account of PMT.

PMT.

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

PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”)— a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM has an investment management agreement with PMT.

On November 1, 2018, the Company completed a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) by which it changed its equity structure to create a single class of common stock held by all stockholders at a new top-level publicly traded parent holding corporation, as opposed to the two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, that were in place before the Reorganization. The predecessor holding company became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company and is considered the predecessor of the Company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the predecessor holding company's historical consolidated financial statements remain the Company’s historical financial statements. The details of the Reorganization are more fully described in Note 1 – Organization to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting PronouncementsPronouncement

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’sSecurities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of income to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2019.2020. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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

Certain asset amounts separately presented in prior periods have been reclassified to Other assets to conform to the current period presentation. Such amounts are detailed in Note 11—Other Assets.

Accounting Change

Effective January 1, 2019,2020, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 842)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,as amended (“ASU 2016-02”2016-13”), using the modified retrospective approach. As the result of this adoption, the Company recorded a $58.6 million right-of-use asset, a corresponding lease liability and reclassified $20.7 million of deferred rent from accrued liabilities to the lease liability for a total lease liability of $79.3 million. The Company did not adjust amounts reported in the prior comparative period. The adoption of ASU 2016-022016-13 did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity or cash flows.

As part of its adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company made the following accounting policy elections:

·

to retain its existing classification of existing leases; and

·

to exclude from its consolidated balance sheet leases with initial terms that are less than or equal to 12 months.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make the payments required by the leases.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, PFSI uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payment obligations. The operating lease right-of-use assets also reflect any lease payments made and are reduced by lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements that include both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which are generally included in the lease and are accounted for together with the lease as a single lease component. Detailed lease disclosures are included in Note 10‒Leases.

Note 3—Concentration of Risk

A substantial portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of gains on loans held for sale, loan servicingorigination and fulfillment fees, loan origination fees, fulfillmentservicing fees, change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing (“ESS”), net interest, management fees, and change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT) totaled 32%7% and 25%32% of total net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and 31%12% and 19%31% for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Note 4—Related Party Transactions with Affiliates

Transactions with PMT

Operating Activities

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and MSR Recapture

The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. Historically, theThe Company has usedtypically utilized the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans, as well as prime jumbo residential mortgage loans. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company began selling conventional conforming balance mortgage loans to PMT under the agreement.

PursuantThrough June 30, 2020, pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016, if the Company refinancesrefinanced mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company iswas generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to 30% of the fair market value of the MSRs related to all such mortgage loans. TheOn June 30, 2020, the MSR recapture agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Pursuant to a mortgage banking services agreement, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016,for a term of five years (the “2020 MSR Recapture Agreement”).

Effective July 1, 2020, the 2020 MSR Recapture agreement changes the recapture fee payable by the Company to a tiered amount equal to:

40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 15% of the “recapture rate”;
35% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the recapture rate in excess of 15% and up to 30%; and
30% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the recapture rate in excess of 30%.

The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all recaptured loans, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month. The Company has further agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of 15%.

The Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. Pursuant

Table of Contents

Through June 30, 2020, pursuant to the terms of thea mortgage banking services agreement, the monthly fulfillment fee iswas an amount that shall equal (a) no greater than the product of (i) 0.35% and (ii) the aggregate initial unpaid principal balance (the “Initial UPB”) of all mortgage loans purchased in such month, plus (b) in the case of all mortgage loans other than mortgage loans sold to or securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, no greater than the product of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the aggregate Initial UPB of all such mortgage loans sold and securitized in such month; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to the Company with respect to any mortgage loans underwritten to the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities (“MBS”) Guide. to:

a)no greater than the product of (i) 0.35% and (ii) the aggregate initial unpaid principal balance (the “Initial UPB”) of all mortgage loans purchased in such month, plus
b)in the case of all mortgage loans other than mortgage loans sold to or securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, no greater than the product of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the aggregate Initial UPB of all such mortgage loans sold and securitized in such month; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee was due or payable to the Company with respect to any mortgage loans underwritten to the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) Guide.

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the agreement, the Company currently purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and, through June 30, 2020, a sourcing fee ranging from two2 to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days mortgage loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company. While the Company purchases these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT, where the Company has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of PMT.

Effective July 1, 2020, the fulfillment fees and sourcing fees were revised as follows:

Fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:
(i)the number of loan commitments multiplied by a pull-through factor of either .99 or .80 depending on whether the loan commitments are subject to a “mandatory trade confirmation” or a “best efforts lock confirmation”, respectively, and then multiplied by $585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus
(ii)$315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans up to the and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 multiplied by the number of purchased loans in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus
(iii)$750 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are sold or securitized to parties other than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; provided however, that 0 fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae loans.

Sourcing fees charged to PLS range from 1 to 2 basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans are held by PMT before purchase by PLS.

Mortgage Loan Servicing

The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016 and pursuant to which the Company provides servicing for PMT’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans and subservicing for its portfolio of MSRs. The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per‑loanper-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT. These include boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and a percentage of late charges.

Prime Servicing

·

The base servicing fees for non-distressed loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

To the extent that non-distressed loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. The Company is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees.

Effective July 1, 2020, the Company also receives certain fees for COVID-19-related forbearance and modification activities provided for under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).

Special Servicing (Distressed loans)

The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $85 per month for loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month.

·

Because PMT has a small number of employees and limited infrastructure, the Company is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, the Company receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed loan. The Company is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in the performance of its servicing obligations.

The Company is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from $750 for a streamline modification to $1,750 for a full modification or liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company is not entitled to earn more than 1 liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee per loan in any 18-month period.

To the extent the Company facilitates rentals of PMT's REO under its REO rental program, the Company collects an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to the Company’s cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9% of gross rental income if the Company provides property management services directly. The Company is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third-party vendor fees.

·

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

·

Because PMT has a small number of employees and limited infrastructure, the Company is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, the Company receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed loan. The Company is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in performance of its servicing obligations.

·

The Company is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Plan; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to the Company in connection with a loan modification for which PMT previously paid the Company a modification fee, the Company is required to reimburse PMT an amount equal to the incentive payments.

·

The Company is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed whole loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from $750 for a streamline modification to $1,750 for a full modification or liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee per loan in any 18-month period.

·

The base servicing fees for non-distressed mortgage loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and  $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

The Servicing Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

On June 30, 2020, the Servicing Agreement was amended and restated for a term of five years (the “2020 Servicing Agreement”). The terms of the 2020 Servicing Agreement are substantially similar to those in the prior servicing agreement except that they now include the fees described above relating to COVID-19 related forbearance and modification activities provided for under the CARES Act.

Investment Management Activities

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016. Pursuantpursuant to the Management Agreement,which the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by its board of trustees, for which itPFSI collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:

·

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

·

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

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

13

Table of Contents

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

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non‑cashnon-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

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

14

The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30‑year30-year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero.0. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then‑currentthen-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

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

The Management Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional
18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Investing Activities

Master Repurchase Agreement

On December 19, 2016, the Company, through PLS, entered into a master repurchase agreement with one1 of PMT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from the Company for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS. PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and PennyMac, as guarantor (the “PC Repurchase Agreement”). The Issuer Trust was formed for the purpose of allowing PLS to finance MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs (the “GNMA MSR Facility”).

In connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in MSRs and ESS pursuant to the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. In return, the Issuer Trust (a) has issued to PLS, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016, known as the “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2016-MSRVF1” (the “VFN”), and (b) has issued and may, from time to time pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture, issue to institutional investors additional term notes, (“Term Notes”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis by the participation certificates relating to the MSRs and ESS. The maximum principal balance of the VFN is $1,000,000,000.

15

Table of Contents

The principal amount paid by PLS for the participation certificates under the PMH Repurchase Agreement is based upon a percentage of the market value of the underlying ESS. Upon PMH’s repurchase of the participation certificates, PMH is required to repay PLS the principal amount relating thereto plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and consistent with the weighted average note rate of the VFN and any outstanding Term Notes)term notes) to the date of such repurchase. PLS is then required to repay the Issuer Trust the corresponding amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement.

Financing Activities

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

On December 19, 2016, theThe Company amended and restatedhas a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “Spread Acquisition Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective December 19, 2016, pursuant to which the Company may sell to PMT, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by PMT in connection with the parties’ participation in the GNMA MSR Facility.

To the extent the Company refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS it has issued, the Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, the Company is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require the Company to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, the Company may, at its option, settle its obligation to PMT in cash in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

Note 6—Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the significant inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

·

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

·

Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

The Company identified all of its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets other than Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trustunder agreements to resell, to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. The Company has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell, Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable and Obligations under capital lease, Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are carried at amortized cost.

These assets and liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these assets and liabilities other than the 2018-GTI Notes and 2018-GT2 Notes (the “2018 Term NotesNotes”) included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured Notes (as hereafter defined) approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.

The Company estimates the fair value of the 2018 Term Notes at September 30, 2019 wasand the Unsecured Notes based on non-affiliate broker indications of fair value. The fair value of Term Notes at December 31, 2018 was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach using indications of market pricing spreads provided by non-affiliate brokers to develop an appropriate discount rate. The fair value and carrying value of the Term Notesthese notes are summarized below:

Valuation Governance

Most of the Company’s financial assets, and all of its MSRs, ESS, derivative liabilities and MSLs, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and derivative liabilities and all of its MSRs, ESS, and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which are measured usingrequire use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

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

3029

With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to the Company’s senior management valuation committee. TheAs of September 30, 2020, the Company’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s executive chairman, chief executive, chief financial, chiefinvestment and risk officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, capital markets and deputy chief financial officers.risk management staffs.

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Company’s senior management valuation committee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.

The Company has assigned responsibility for developing the fair values of IRLCs to its Capital Markets Risk Management staff. The fair values developed by the Capital Markets Risk Management staff are reviewed by the Company’s Capital Markets Operations group.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

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

Loans Held for Sale

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

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

·

Certain delinquent governmentGovernment guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase delinquent government guaranteed or insured loans arises as the result of the borrower’s failure to make payments forloan being at least three consecutive months precedingdelinquent on the monthdate of repurchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such repurchased loans may be resold to investors and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security. Such eligibility occurs when the repurchased loans become current either through the borrower’s reperformance or through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms.

terms or after six months of timely payments following the completion of certain types of payment deferral programs.

·

Certain of the Company’s loans held for saleLoans that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect.

Home equity lines of credit held for sale to PMT. At present, an active market with observable inputs that are significant to the estimation of fair value of home equity lines of credit does not exist.

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

Changes in fair value of loans held for sale attributable to changes in instrument specificthe loan’s instrument-specific credit risk are measured bywith reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair valuein the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the loan will be funded or purchased (the “pull-through rate”).

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which decreaseshas decreased in fair value.

Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value and may be allocated to Net loan servicing fees –Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities as an economic hedge of the fair value of MSRs in the consolidated statements of income when IRLCs are included as a component of the Company’s MSR hedging strategy.income.

Fair valueliabilities; fair values of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBSinterest rates, volatilities and prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS marketor other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans acquiredheld for sale at fair value, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilitiesHedging results, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income. income.

Repurchase Agreement Derivatives

Through August 21, 2019, the Company had a master repurchase agreement that included incentives for financing mortgage loans approved for satisfying certaindesignated consumer relief characteristics. These incentives are classified for financial reporting purposes as embedded derivatives and are separated for reporting purposes from the master repurchase agreement. The Company classifies repurchaseRepurchase agreement derivatives are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The significant unobservable inputs intoused in the valuation of repurchase agreement derivative assets are the discount rate and the Company’s expected approval rate of the mortgage loans financed under the master repurchase agreement. The resulting ratio included in the Company’s fair value estimate werewas 99.0% and 97.0% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), prepayment rates of the underlying loans, and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

The Company categorizes ESS is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value liability. Because the ESS is a claim to a portion of the cash flows from MSRs, the fair value measurement of the ESS is similar to that of MSRs. The Company uses the same discounted cash flow approach to measuring the ESS as it uses to measure MSRs except that certain inputs relating to the cost to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSRMSRs and certain ancillary income are not included as these cash flows do not accrue to the holder of the ESS.

The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS fair value include pricing spread (discount rate) and prepayment speed. Significant changes to either of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value of ESS. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.

ESS is generally subject to fair value increases when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally discourage mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing itsthe fair value.value of this financing. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of excess servicing spread payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust in the consolidated statements of income.Trust.

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. This approach consists of projecting net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that the Company believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), the prepayment rates, of the underlying loans, and the annual per-loan annual cost to service the respectiveunderlying loans. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 8—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities. Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations include:

·

IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a mortgage loan for sale.

·

Derivatives that arewere embedded in a master repurchase agreement that providesprovided for the Company to receive incentives for financing mortgage loans that satisfysatisfied certain consumer relief characteristics under the master repurchase agreement.

The Company also engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reducemoderate the variabilityeffect of earnings caused by changes in market interest rates.rates on the fair value of certain of the its assets. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and the portion of its MSRs not financed with ESS.

3736

The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivatives for hedge accounting. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

Note 12—Borrowings

The borrowing facilities described throughout this Note 1112 contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to-equity ratio, profitability and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2019.2020.

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company has multiple borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by loans held for sale at fair value or participation certificates backed by MSRs. Eligible loans and participation certificates backed by MSRs are sold at advance rates based on the fair value (as determined by the lender) of the assets sold. Interest is charged at a rate based on the lender’s overnight cost of funds rate or on LIBOR depending on the terms of the respective agreements.LIBOR. Loans and MSRs financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

On April 1, 2020, the Company issued a series of variable funding notes, the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes (“GMSR Servicing Advance Notes”), to be sold under agreement to repurchase pursuant to a Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020, with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”), acting as administrative agent on behalf of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CSCIB”), as buyer (the “GMSR Servicing Advances Repurchase Agreement”).

The GMSR Servicing Advance Notes leverage the GNMA MSR Facility to support a separately defined servicing advance facility within the existing structure and provide the Company enhanced ability to finance its servicing advance obligations to Ginnie Mae and its security holders as necessary. Specifically, the GMSR Servicing Advances Repurchase Agreement provides the Company with financing secured by its servicing advances to pay, in accordance with the Ginnie Mae requirements, in the event borrowers are delinquent: (i) regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest to mortgage-backed securities holders; (ii) taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and other escrowed items; and (iii) other expenses related to servicing delinquent loans as specified by (A) state and federal laws and (B) government agencies, including the FHA, the VA, and the USDA.

The borrowing capacity under the GMSR Servicing Advances Repurchase Agreement, shared with VFN financing capacity, is $600 million, all of which is committed and may be used to finance the servicing advances related to delinquent FHA, VA, and USDA loans, including delinquencies caused by forbearance in accordance with the CARES Act.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the repurchase agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the fair value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets securing those agreements decreases.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

Certain of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

46

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

47

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements are summarized below:

(formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) and certain of its subsidiaries, PCM, PLS and PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (“Associates”), as guarantors and grantors (“the “Guaranty”).

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed $150 million. Interest on the loans shall accrue at a per annum rate of interest equal to, at the election of the Borrower, either LIBOR plus the applicable margin or an alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). During the existence of certain events of default, interest shall accrue at a higher default rate. The proceeds of the loans are to be used solely for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

The primary purposes of the Amendments were to (i) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to October 31, 2019; (ii) name the Company as an additional guarantor under the Credit Agreement; and (iii) release Associates from its obligations as a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are now guaranteed by PFSI, PNMAC Holdings, Inc., PCM and PLS, and secured by a grant by each of the referenced grantors of its respective right, title and interest in and to limited and otherwise unencumbered (other than specified permitted encumbrances) specified contract rights, specified deposit accounts, all documents and instruments related to such specified contract rights and specified deposit accounts, and any and all proceeds and products thereof.

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 26.9%26.5% and 9.0%26.9% for the quarters ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively and 26.3%26.4% and 8.6%26.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. Beginning November 1, 2018, the Company’s income subject to

The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, introduced a number of tax law changes which are generally taxpayer favorable. The Company does not anticipate any material changes in its effective income tax includesrates resulting from the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the parent Company level before the Reorganization. As a result, the Company reported a higher effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 than for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.CARES Act.

Note 14—15—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

On December 20, 2018, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in a putative class and derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), captioned Robert Garfield v. BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC et al., Case No. 2018-0917-KSJM (the “Garfield Action”). The Garfield Action alleges, among other things, that certain current directors and officers of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by, among other things, agreeing to and entering into a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”), without ensuring that the Reorganization was entirely fair to the Company or public shareholders. In connection with the Reorganization, the Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 2, 2018, and became the top-level parent holding company for the consolidated PennyMac business on November 1, 2018, The Reorganization was approved by 99.8% of voting shareholders on October 24, 2018. On December 19, 2019, the Delaware Court denied a motion to dismiss filed by the Company and certain of its directors and officers. While the Company and its co-defendants believe the Garfield Action is without merit and expressly disclaim any wrongdoing, they have collectively agreed to settle the Garfield Action for an amount equal to $6.85 million in order to avoid the ongoing costs of litigation and further distractions to their respective businesses. A settlement agreement was filed with the Delaware Court on October 9, 2020, and is currently pending approval. The Company’s share of the settlement amount will be paid entirely by one of the Company’s insurers.

On November 5, 2019, Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Black Knight, Inc. (“BKI”), filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the Circuit Court for the Fourth Judicial Circuit in and for Duval County, Florida (the “Florida State Court”), captioned Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC v. PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, Case No. 2019-CA-007908 (the “BKI Complaint”). Allegations contained within the BKI Complaint include breach of contract and misappropriation of MSP® System trade secrets in order to develop an imitation mortgage-processing system intended to replace the MSP® System. The BKI Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets, injunctive relief under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act and declaratory judgment of ownership of all intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of PLS as a result of its wrongful use of and access to the MSP® System and related trade secret and confidential information. On March 30, 2020, the Florida State Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by the Company. While no assurance can be provided to the ultimate outcome of this claim or the account of any losses to the Company, the Company believes the BKI Complaint is without merit and plans to vigorously defend the matter, which remains pending. Any potential range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time primarily because the matter involves complex factual and legal issues; there is substantial uncertainty regarding any alleged damages, and the matter is at a preliminary stage of litigation.

Regulatory Matters

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are subject to various state and federal regulations related to its loan production and servicing operations by the various states it operates in as well as federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, HUD, and the FHA and is subject to the requirements of the Agencies to which it sells loans and for which it performs loan servicing activities. As a result, the Company may become involved in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by such various federal, state and local regulatory bodies.

Note 20—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

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

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-vested stock-based compensation awards and, before the Reorganization, PennyMac Class A units.awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards. As a result of the Reorganization, all PNMAC Class A units converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Note 22—Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements

The Company, through PLS and PennyMac, is required to maintain specified levels of capital and liquidity to remain a seller/servicer in good standing with the Agencies. Such capital and liquid asset requirements generally are tied to the size of the Company’s loan servicing portfolio, or loan origination volume.volume and delinquency rates.

The Company is subject to financial eligibility requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for sellers/servicers eligible to sell or service mortgage loans with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The eligibility requirements include include:

tangible net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of the UPB of the Company’s total 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for others;
before June 30, 2020, a liquidity requirement equal to 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (including nonperforming Agency loans that are in payment forbearance) in excess of 600 basis points; and
effective June 30, 2020, a liquidity requirement equal to 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB less 70% of such nonperforming Agency servicing UPB in excess of 600 basis points where the underlying loans are in COVID-19 forbearance but were current at the time they entered forbearance.

56

On January 31, 2020, FHFA proposed changes to the eligibility requirements, which would increase the tangible net worth requirement to $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of the UPB of loans serviced for Ginnie Mae and 25 basis points of the Company’s totalUPB of all other 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for othersserviced, and aincrease the liquidity requirement equal to 3.54 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and 10 basis points of the AgenciesUPB serviced for Ginnie Mae plus 200300 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (including nonperforming Agency loans that are in payment forbearance) in excess of 600400 basis points. On June 15, 2020, FHFA announced that it will be re-proposing changes to these requirements.

The Company is also subject to financial eligibility requirements for Ginnie Mae single-family issuers. The eligibility requirements include net worth of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations and a liquidity requirement equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 10 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities.

The Agencies’ capital and liquidity requirements, the calculations of which are specified by each Agency, are summarized below:

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

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements including the related notes of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements.

Overview

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

Our Company

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

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

We were formed as a Delaware corporation on July 2, 2018. We became the top-level parent holding company for the consolidated PennyMac business pursuant to a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that was consummated on November 1, 2018. Before the Reorganization, PNMAC Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) (“PNMAC Holdings”) was our top-level parent holding company and our public company registrant.

One result of the consummation of the Reorganization was that our equity structure was changed to create a single class of publicly-held common stock as opposed to the two classes that were in place before the Reorganization. For tax purposes, the Reorganization is to bewas treated as an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and/or a transfer described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. PNMAC Holdings’ financial statements remain our historical financial statements.

6061

We conduct our business in three segments: production, servicing (together, production and servicing comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management.

·

The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities.

·

The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PMT.

·

The investment management segment represents our investment management activities, which include the activities associated with investment asset acquisitions and dispositions such as sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and settlement.

Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage and home equity loans in the United States. PLS is a seller/servicer for the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each of which is a government‑sponsoredgovernment-sponsored entity (“GSE”). PLS is also an approved issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a lender of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), and a lender/servicer of the Veterans Administration (“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies.” PLS is able to service loans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and originate loans in 49 states and the District of Columbia, either because PLS is properly licensed in a particular jurisdiction or exempt or otherwise not required to be licensed in that jurisdiction.

Our investment management subsidiary is PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (the “Advisers Act”), as amended. PCM manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a mortgage real estate investment trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT. PCM previously managed PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC, PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, an affiliate of these funds and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our Investment Funds.  The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

(1)To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure which is a measure that is frequently used in our industry to measure performance and we believe that this measure provides supplemental information that is useful to investors. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income plus provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding decrease (increase) in fair value of MSRs and MSLs due to changes in valuation inputs used in valuation model, increase (decrease) in fair value of ESS payable to PMT, hedging losses (gains) associated with MSRs, stock-based compensation and interest expense on corporate debt or corporate revolving credit facilities and capital leases to the extent such items existed in the periods presented.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the

6263

performance and value of our business. However, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

(a) they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

(b) they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;

(c) they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA measures are not intended as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the United States was significantly impacted by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic (the “Pandemic” or “COVID-19”) and the effects of market and government responses to the Pandemic. These developments have resulted in an economic recession in the United States and increased unemployment that have created financial hardships for many existing borrowers.

As part of its response to the Pandemic, the federal government included requirements in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act that we provide borrowers with loans we service for the Agencies with substantial payment forbearance. As a result of this requirement, we have seen a large increase in delinquencies in our servicing portfolio which has increased our cost to service those loans and may require us to finance substantial amounts of advances of principal and interest payments to the investors holding these loans, as well as property taxes, insurance and other costs to protect investors’ interest in the properties collateralizing the loans. As of September 30, 2020, 9.2% of loans in our predominately government-insured or guaranteed MSR portfolio were in forbearance plans and delinquent resulting in an increase in the level of servicing advances we have been required to make in order to fund borrower delinquencies.

This development may have a negative effect on the earnings of our servicing segment before taking into account the effect of future developments on the valuation of our MSRs by, among other things, reducing servicing fee income, reducing the amount of placement fees we earn on custodial deposits related to these loans, increasing our cost to service due to higher delinquency and default rates, as well as increased financing costs due to the need to advance funds on behalf of delinquent borrowers. We expect these losses to be offset by growth in our loan servicing portfolio and gains on early buyout loans as those borrowers reperform.

64

Before the onset of the Pandemic, the mortgage origination market was experiencing healthy demand owing to historically low interest rates in the United States. The government’s response to the onset of the Pandemic, including fiscal stimulus and infusions of additional liquidity by the Federal Reserve into financial markets acted to further lower market mortgage interest rates. These developments have acted to sustain heightened demand for new mortgage loans despite the slowdown in overall economic activity. The mortgage origination market for 2019 was estimated at $2.3 trillion; current forecasts estimate the origination market to approximate $3.6 trillion for 2020 and range from $2.5 trillion to $2.7 trillion for 2021. This increase in demand for mortgage loans, combined with constraints on mortgage industry origination capacity that existed before the Pandemic, has allowed us to realize higher gain-on sale margins in our production segment. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are expected to add a 50 basis point adverse market refinance fee applicable to most mortgage refinances on December 1, 2020 that could have a negative impact on future refinances.

The current environment caused by the Pandemic in the United States is historically unprecedented and the source of much uncertainty surrounding future economic and market prospects and the ongoing effects on our future prospects are difficult to anticipate, for further discussion of the potential impacts of the Pandemic please also see “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, income before provision for income taxes increased $104.5$562.1 million and $116.7 million,$1.3 billion, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.ended September 30, 2019. The increases were primarily due to: 

·

increases in production income (Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value,  Loan origination fees and Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust),  partially offset by;

·

decreases in Net loan servicing fees;

·

and increases in total expenses. 

The increasesto an increase in production income reflect(Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, Loan origination fees and Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust) which reflects higher production volume and improved profit margins.  The decreasesmargins and an increase in Net loan servicing fees were mainlyprimarily due to the effectgrowth in our loan servicing portfolio and increase in income from buying loans out of lower interest rates on the fair value of our MSRs that resultedGinnie Mae securities for potential resecuritization, partially offset by an increase in fair value losses net of hedging results, compared to the same periods in 2018.total expenses. The increasesincrease in total expenses were mainly due to increases in compensation, servicing and loan origination and compensation expenses reflecting the continuing growth of our mortgage banking activities.  

These increases in pretax income were offset by increases inactivities and the provision for income taxes resulting from an increase inimpact of the effective income tax rate resulting from the Reorganization.

Net loan servicing fees decreased $43.5 million and $134.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decreases were primarily due to an increase of $94.2 million and $280.0 million in losses in fair value of MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), net of hedging results, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from the effect of decreasing interest rates on mortgage servicing asset and liability fair values. The increased losses were partially offset by increases of $50.7 million and $145.8 million in loan servicing fees for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from an increase in our average servicing portfolio of 24% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018.operations.

Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

Most of our loan production consists of government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that we source primarily through PMT. PMT is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We purchase such loans that PMT acquires through its correspondent production activities and pay PMT a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points on the UPB of such mortgage loans.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $235.7$855.3 million and $468.0 million,$1.9 billion, respectively, an increase of $178.8$619.5 million and $278.8 million, respectively,$1.4 billion, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. The increases were primarily due to an increase in loan production volumethe combined effects of decreasing interest rates on demand for loans and an improvement inof temporary disruption of industry capacity at the onset of the Pandemic, both of which increased profit margins in our mortgage production business, reflecting increased demand for mortgage loans during 20192020 as compared to 2018.2019.

Our gain on sale of loans held for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We recognize a significant portion of our gain on sale of loans when we make a commitment to purchase or fund a mortgage loan. We recognize this gain in the form of an interest rate lock commitment. We adjust our initial gain amount as the loan purchase or origination process progresses until the loan is either funded or cancelled. We also receive non-cash proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur liabilities for mortgage servicing liabilities (which representsrepresent the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for early buyout of delinquent loans (“EBO loans”) we have resold) and for the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representation and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions.

66

Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans held for sale

The MSRs, MSLs, and liability for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 96%39% and 111%54% of our gain on sale of loans held for sale at fair value for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, as compared to 258%147% and 234%140% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019, respectively. These estimates change as circumstances change and changes in these estimates are recognized in income in subsequent periods. How we measure and update our measurements of IRLCs, MSRs and MSLs is detailed in Note 6 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Our agreements with the purchasers and insurers include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the purchaser or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent originators that sold such loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.

The method used to estimate our losses onOur representations and warranties is a functionare generally not subject to stated limits of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates,exposure. However, we believe that the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis. 

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $2.5 million and $5.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $4.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We also recorded reductions in the liability of $1.2 million and $6.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting performance criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limits the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased loans totaling $4.1 million and $15.4 million in UPB, respectively. We recorded losses of $104,000 net of recoveries, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. If the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, the loans sold continue to season, economic conditions change or investor and insurer loss mitigation strategies are adjusted, the level of repurchase activity may increase.

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit administration staff and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes our senior executives and senior management in our loan production, loan servicing and credit risk management areas. 

OurThe method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current UPB of mortgage loans sold by us and subject to representation and warrantyreview our liability to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related toestimate on a periodic basis.

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties.

Loan origination fees

Loan origination fees increased $22.9warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $5.2 million and $34.8$13.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $5.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in the provision relating to current loan sales is primarily attributable to increased sales of loans supplemented by increased loss assumptions relating to our securitizations of early buyout loans. We also recorded reductions in the liability of $2.5 million and $5.4 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $6.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Loan origination fees increased $26.1 million and $81.8 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. The increase wasincreases were primarily due to an increase in volume of loans we produced.

Net loan servicing fees increased $66.6 million and $207.0 million, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020 compared to the same periods in 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $4.9ended September 30, 2019. The increases were due to $41.1 million and $15.3$114.1 million, respectively, less in fair value losses relating to MSRs, mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), and ESS, net of hedging results and an increase of $25.4 million and $92.9 million, respectively, in loan servicing fees resulting from an increase in our average servicing portfolio during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively,2020, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the prepayment expectations resulting from the decreasing interest rate environment, along with expectations of higher costs to service loans in the coming months and increased returns demanded by market participants in response to the uncertainties created by the Pandemic, resulted in a 36% reduction in fair value (as measured by the December 31, 2019 fair value) of our investment in MSRs. This reduction in fair value was offset by our hedging results and change in fair value of ESS.

There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will continue to perform in a like manner in the future. As discussed above, we expect the ongoing effects of the Pandemic and the requirements of the CARES Act to reduce our servicing income and to increase our servicing expenses due to the increased number of delinquent loans, and significant levels of forbearance that we have and continue to grant, as well as the resolution of loans that we expect to ultimately default as the result of the Pandemic.

Net Interest (Expense) Income

Net interest income decreased $37.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increases weredecrease was primarily due to:

·

increasesa decrease in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage reflectingdue to decreased earning rates which reflect the growth of our servicing portfoliolower interest rate environment; and higher earnings rates in 2019 compared to 2018, partially offset by;

Management fees increased $3.6 million and $8.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018,2019. The decrease was due to a decrease of $2.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in incentive fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 reflecting the combined effectlosses PMT incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by an increase of $594,000 and $5.0 million, respectively, in base management fees reflecting the performance incentive fees arising from PMT’s increased profitability and the increaseincreases in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity, upon which its base management fees are based. The increase in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity was primarily dueduring 2020 as compared to 2019 is the issuanceresult of new common shares byPMT’s equity offerings throughout 2019. We do not expect to recognize performance incentive fees for the foreseeable future because of the losses PMT incurred during the quarter and ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Compensation expense increased $37.8$61.3 million and $58.5$188.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. The increases were primarily due to growth in head count made to accommodate the growth in our loan production and servicing activities as well as to increases in incentive compensation resulting from performance-based incentives in our mortgage banking business and higher than expected attainment of profitability targets along with increases in salaries and wages due to increased average headcounts resulting from the growth in our mortgage banking activities.targets.

Servicing

Servicing expenses increased $7.1$23.2 million and $11.6$62.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were2019. This increase in servicing expense was primarily the result of the increase in delinquencies we experienced due to increased purchasesthe effects on borrower delinquencies of EBO loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased  $2.6 billion in UPB of EBO loans, compared to $1.6  billion during the same period in 2018.Pandemic.

The EBO program reduces the ongoing cost of servicing defaulted loans that have been sold into Ginnie Mae MBS when we purchase and either sell the defaulted loans or finance them with debt at interest rates below the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rates. While the EBO program reduces the ultimate cost of servicing such loan pools, it results in loss recognition when the loans are purchased. We recognize the loss because purchasing the mortgage loans from their Ginnie Mae pools causes us to write off accumulated non-reimbursable interest advances, net of interest receivable from the loans’ insurer or guarantor at the debenture rate of interest we receive from the insurer or guarantor while the loan is in default.

Loan origination

Loan origination expense increased $27.6$18.9 million and $58.0$78.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. The increases were primarily due to increases in wholesale brokerage fees and loan file compilation expenses, resulting from increased consumer and broker direct lending activities, as well as an increase inpartially offset by cost reduction initiatives related to lender paid fees due to the mix of production volume shifting toward a higher proportion of VA-guaranteed loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as2020 compared to the same periods during 2018.2019.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 26.9%26.5% and 26.3%26.4% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to 9.0%26.9% and 8.6%26.3% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Beginning November 1, 2018, PFSI’s income subject to income tax includes the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the PFSI level before the Reorganization. As a result, we reported higher effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018.

Total assets increased $1.8$21.0 billion from $7.5$10.2 billion at December 31, 20182019 to $9.3$31.2 billion at September 30, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily due to increasesan increase of $16.1 billion in loans eligible for repurchase, $4.2 billion in loans held for sale at fair value, resulting from$368.4 million in cash and short-term investments, $418.6 million in derivative assets and $317.7 million in other assets, partially offset by a decrease of $593.0 million in MSRs. The increase in loans eligible for repurchase reflects an increase in delinquent loans as a result of the Pandemic and the CARES Act forbearance requirements. The decrease in MSRs reflects the $1.0 billion in fair value losses discussed above, partially offset by additions resulting from our loan production volume.activities. We increased our holding of cash and short-term investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a means of enhancing our liquidity during the Pandemic.

Total liabilities increased $1.6$20.1 billion from $5.8$8.1 billion at December 31, 20182019 to $7.4$28.2 billion at September 30, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily attributable to anthe increase in borrowings required to finance a larger inventory ofliability for loans heldeligible for sale combined with a $72.1 million increase in other liabilities due to recognition of operating lease liabilities effective January 1, 2019, as the result of our adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires us to recognize our contractual lease rights and obligations on our consolidated balance sheet.repurchase.

The decrease in cash flows from other operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily reflects an increase in deposits securing certain of our borrowings and increases in servicing advances caused by COVID-19 induced borrower delinquencies.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $924.6 million primarily due to $1.0 billion in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $169.4 million, primarily due to $542.1 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs, partially offset by the purchase of MSRs totaling $227.4 million and increase in margin deposit of $168.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

The effect of the Pandemic on our operations, liquidity and capital resources remain uncertain and difficult to predict, for further discussion of the potential impacts of the Pandemic please also see “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.

The CARES Act allows borrowers with federally-backed loans to request temporary payment forbearance in response to the increased borrower hardships resulting from the Pandemic and may require the servicer to advance principal and interest, property taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses to the investor for up to four months on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans and longer on Ginnie Mae and other government agency backed loans. In April 2020, the Company entered into a new Ginnie Mae servicing advance financing allowing the Company to borrow $600 million against Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advances. The Ginnie Mae servicing advances eligible for financing include advances made to support regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest to mortgage-backed securities holders, taxes, homeowners insurance and escrowed items and other expenses related to servicing delinquent loans. We are also in ongoing discussions with our lending partners to procure additional advance financing.

The Pandemic has significantly increased the number of loans that are delinquent in our Ginnie Mae MSR portfolio. The Ginnie Mae program provides us with the option to purchase loans that are at least three months delinquent out of the underlying Ginnie Mae securities as an alternative to continuing to advance principal and interest payments to the holders of the Ginnie Mae securities. We refer to such loans as “early buyout” or EBO loans.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased $2.7 billion in UPB of EBO loans from our Ginnie Mae MSR portfolio. Our objective is to work with the borrowers to cure the loan delinquency through either borrower reperformance or modification of the loans’ terms. When curing the delinquency is not feasible, we work to settle the loan and collect our claims from the applicable insurer or guarantor. When we are able to cure the delinquency, we are able to re-deliver the cured loan into another Ginnie Mae guaranteed security. Depending on the method used to cure a borrower delinquency, the Ginnie Mae program may require at least a six month period of timely borrower payments before we are able to re-deliver the loan. Therefore, regardless of whether we cure or settle the repurchased loan, our investment in the EBO loans may require a substantial holding period.

Our current borrowing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our borrowing activities are in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, ESS financing, notes payable, (including a revolving credit agreement) and a capital lease. Mostlease and unsecured senior notes. A significant amount of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for terms of approximately one year. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing. On September 29, 2020, we issued $500 million of long term Unsecured Notes that mature on October 15, 2025. We used the proceeds from the Unsecured Notes to repay some of our existing short-term borrowings.

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average, maximum daily and ending balances:

The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect the fluctuations throughout the month of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.

Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us to comply with various financial covenants. The most significant financial covenants currently include the following:

·

positive net income during eachone of the two most recent calendar quarter;

quarters;

·

a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $40 million;

·

a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million;

$1.25 billion;

·

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

·

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

With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under PMT’s debt agreements. Covenants in PMT’s debt agreements are equally, or sometimes less, restrictive than the covenants described above.

In addition to the covenants noted above, PennyMac’s revolving credit agreementthe indenture governing our Unsecured Notes contains covenants that limit our and capital lease contain additional financialour restricted subsidiaries’ ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants including, but not limitedlimit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to,

among other things:

·

a minimum of cash equal to the amount borrowed under the revolving credit agreement;

pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain loans or investments;

·

a minimum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents equal to $25 million;

incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock;

·

a minimum of tangible net worth of $500 million;

incur liens on assets;

·

a minimum asset coverage ratio (the ratiomerge or consolidate with another person or sell all or substantially all of the total asset amountour assets to the total commitment) of 2.5; and

subsidiaries;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

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

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

We are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established

minimum liquidity requirements and revised their net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers, as summarized below:

·

Effective June 30, 2020, FHFA liquidity requirement is equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of the amount by which total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (reduced by 70% of the UPB of nonperforming Agency loans that are in COVID-19 payment forbearance and were current when they entered such forbearance) exceeds 6% of the applicable Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for

73

trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines;

·

FHFA net worth requirement is a minimum net worth of $2.5 million plus 0.25% (25 basis points) of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced and a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

·

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

·

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

On January 31, 2020, FHFA proposed changes to the eligibility requirements, which would increase the tangible net worth requirement to $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of the UPB of loans serviced for Ginnie Mae and 25 basis points of the UPB of all other 1-4 unit loans serviced, and increase the liquidity requirement to 4 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and 10 basis points of the UPB serviced for Ginnie Mae plus 300 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (including nonperforming Agency loans that are in payment forbearance) in excess of 4% of total Agency servicing UPB. On June 15, 2020, FHFA announced that it will be re-proposing changes to these requirements.

We believe that we are currently in compliance with the applicable Agency requirements.

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

InOn June 2017,10, 2020, our boardBoard of directors approved aDirectors increased our common stock repurchase program that allows us to repurchase up tofrom $50 million of our common stock usingto $500 million. Share repurchases may be effected through open market stock purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. We intend to finance the stock repurchase program through cash on hand. From inception through September 30, 2019,2020, we have repurchased $14.9$263.2 million of shares under our stock repurchase program.

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

Debt Obligations

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through borrowings with major financial institution counterparties in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, notes payable (including a revolving credit agreement), ESS and a capital lease. The borrower under each of these facilities is PLS or the Issuer Trust with the exception of the revolving credit agreement and the capital lease in each case where the borrower is PennyMac. All PLS obligations as previously noted are guaranteed by PennyMac.

Under the terms of these agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of September 30, 2019,2020, we believe we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

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

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Fair Value Risk

Our IRLCs, mortgage loans held for sale, MSRs, MSLs and ESS financing are reported at their fair values. The fair value of these assets fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates. The fair value risk inflationwe face is primarily attributable to interest rate risk and prepayment risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates affect both the fair value risk.of, and interest income we earn from, our mortgage-related investments and our derivative financial instruments. This effect is most pronounced with fixed-rate mortgage assets.

In general, rising interest rates negatively affect the fair value of our IRLCs, inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and ESS financing and positively affect the fair value of our MSRs. Changes in interest rate significantly influence the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs and ESS, which can have a significant effect on their fair values. Changes in interest rate are most prominently reflected in the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs and ESS and the discount rate used in their valuation.

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

Prepayment Risk

To the extent that the actual prepayment rate on the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs differs from what we projected when we initially recognized these assets and liabilities when we measure fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of these assets and liabilities will be affected. In general, a decrease in the principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs or an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the MSRs, thereby reducing net servicing income, partially offset by the beneficial effect on net servicing income of a corresponding reduction in the fair value of our MSLs and ESS.

Risk Management Activities

We engage in risk management activities primarily in an effort to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our assets. To manage this price risk, we use derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of our assets, primarily prepayment exposure on our MSR investments as well as IRLCs and our inventory of loans held for sale. Our objective is to minimize our hedging expense and maximize our loss coverage based on a given hedge expense target. We do not use derivative financial instruments other than IRLCs and repurchase agreement derivatives (both of which arise from our operations) for purposes other than in support of our risk management activities.

Our strategies are reviewed daily within a disciplined risk management framework. We use a variety of interest rate and spread shifts and scenarios and define target limits for market value and liquidity loss in those scenarios. With respect to our IRLCs and inventory of loans held for sale, we use MBS forward sale contracts to lock in the price at which we will sell the mortgage loans or resulting MBS, and further use MBS put options to mitigate the risk of our IRLCs not closing at the rate we expect. With respect to our MSRs, we seek to mitigate mortgage-based loss exposure utilizing MBS forward purchase and sale contracts, address exposures to smaller interest rate shifts with Treasury and interest rate swap futures, and use options and swaptions to achieve target coverage levels for larger interest rate shocks.

Fair Value Sensitivities

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

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The following tables summarize the estimated change in fair value of MSRs as of September 30, 2019,2020, given several shifts in pricing spreads, prepayment speed and annual per loan cost of servicing:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the ordinary course of business, we review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes that we believe will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of controls, ensure sufficient precision of controls, and appropriately mitigate the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements.

ManagementThere has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whether any changesbeen no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter havehas materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Below we describe changes in our internal control over financial reporting since June 30, 2019 that management believes have materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

7882

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we substantially completed the implementation of an internally-developed loan servicing system. In connection with this implementation and related business process changes, we updated the design of multiple internal controls over financial reporting that were previously considered effective to reflect the design of the loan servicing system and associated data sources, and implemented controls to replace controls previously addressed by certain service organization SOC 1 Reports (System and Organization Controls Reports). We adopted this system and the related processes and controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Therefore, the use of this system was included in the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. We continue to monitor and test these controls for adequate design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Set forth below are material updates to legal proceedings of the Company.

As previously disclosed, onOn December 20, 2018, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in a putative class and derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), captioned Robert Garfield v. BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC et al., Case No. 2018-0917-KSJM (the “Garfield Action”). The Garfield Action alleges, among other things, that certain current directors and officers of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by, among other things, agreeing to and entering into the Reorganization without ensuring that the Reorganization was entirely fair to the Company or public shareholders. The Reorganization was approved by 99.8% of voting shareholders on October 24, 2018. On March 1,December 19, 2019, the Delaware Court denied a motion to dismiss filed by the Company and certain of its directors and officers. While the Company and its directors and officers named inco-defendants believe the Garfield Action is without merit and expressly disclaim any wrongdoing, they have collectively agreed to settle the Garfield Action for an amount equal to $6.85 million in order to avoid the ongoing costs of litigation and further distractions to their respective businesses. A settlement agreement was filed with the Delaware Court on October 9, 2020, and is currently pending approval. The Company’s share of the settlement amount will be paid entirely by one of the Company’s insurers.

On November 5, 2019, Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Black Knight, Inc. (“BKI”), filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the Circuit Court for the Fourth Judicial Circuit in and for Duval County, Florida (the “Florida State Court”), captioned Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC v. PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, Case No. 2019-CA-007908 (the “BKI Complaint”). Allegations contained within the BKI Complaint include breach of contract and misappropriation of MSP® System trade secrets in order to develop an imitation mortgage-processing system intended to replace the MSP® System. The BKI Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets, injunctive relief under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act and declaratory judgment of ownership of all intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of PLS as a result of its wrongful use of and access to the MSP® System and related trade secret and confidential information. On March 30, 2020, the Florida State Court granted a motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion to dismiss has been fully briefed, orally argued, and is pending a rulingcompel arbitration filed by the court.Company. While no assurance can be provided to the ultimate outcome of this claim or the account of any losses to the Company, the Company believes the BKI Complaint is without merit and plans to vigorously defend the matter, which remains pending. Any potential range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time primarily because the matter involves complex factual and legal issues; there is substantial uncertainty regarding any alleged damages, and the matter is at a preliminary stage of litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2019February 28, 2020, except for the following:

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented economic, financial and public health disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations 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 COVID-19.

83

The federal government enacted the CARES Act, which allows borrowers with federally-backed loans to request temporary payment forbearance in response to the increased borrower hardships resulting from COVID-19. As a result of the CARES Act forbearance requirements, we expect to record additional increases in delinquencies in our servicing portfolio that may require us to finance substantial amounts of advances of principal and interest payments to the investors holding those loans, as well as advances of property taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses to protect investors’ interests in the properties securing the loans.. We also expect the effects of the CARES Act forbearance requirements to reduce our servicing income and increase our servicing expenses due to the increased number of delinquent loans, significant levels of forbearance that we have granted and continue to grant, as well as the resolution of loans that we expect to ultimately default as the result of COVID-19. Future servicing advances will be driven by the number of borrower delinquencies, including those resulting from payment forbearance; the amount of time borrowers remain delinquent; and the level of successful resolution of delinquent payments, all of which will be impacted by the pace at which the economy recovers from the Pandemic.

Financial markets have experienced substantial volatility and reduced liquidity, resulting in unprecedented federal government intervention to lower the federal funds rate to near zero and support market liquidity by purchasing assets in many financial markets, including the mortgage-backed securities market. The CARES Act forbearance requirements and the decline in financial markets have negatively impacted the fair value of our servicing assets. In addition, the CARES Act forbearance requirements and the decline in financial markets have caused PMT to report material losses and negatively affected PMT's shareholders' equity and, as a result, our net assets under management.  Consequently, we have experienced a reduction in our base management fees from PMT, and we do not expect to earn performance incentive fees from PMT for the foreseeable future. Further market volatility may result in additional declines in the value of our servicing assets, lower base management fees and make it increasingly difficult to optimize our hedging activities. Also, our liquidity and/or regulatory capital could be adversely impacted by volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. In addition, if we fail to meet or satisfy any of the covenants in our repurchase agreements or other financing arrangements as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we would be in default under these agreements, which could result in a cross-default or cross-acceleration under other financing arrangements, and our Quarterly Reportslenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable (or such amounts may automatically become due and payable), terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their respective interests against existing collateral.

We may also have difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may adversely affect our access to capital necessary to fund our operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis. This includes renewals of our existing credit facilities with our lenders who are also adversely impacted by the volatility and dislocations in the financial markets and may not be willing to continue to extend us credit on the same terms, or on favorable terms, or at all.

In addition, our business could be disrupted if we are unable to operate due to changing governmental restrictions such as travel bans and quarantines placed on our employees or operations, including, successfully operating our business from remote locations, ensuring the protection of our employees’ health and maintaining our information technology infrastructure. 

Governmental authorities have taken additional measures to stabilize the financial markets and support the economy. The success of these measures are unknown and they may not be sufficient to address the current market dislocations or avert severe and prolonged reductions in economic activity. We may also face increased risks of disputes with our business partners, litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of COVID-19. The scope and duration of COVID-19 and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures put in place to address it are currently unknown. Even after COVID-19 subsides, the economy may not fully recover for some time and we may be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession or economic downturn.

Our Unsecured Notes have increased our overall indebtedness and contain restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in operating our business.

On September 29, 2020 and October 19, 2020, we issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due on October 15, 2025 (the “Unsecured Notes”). As our unsecured obligations, the repayment of the Unsecured Notes will depend in part on our restricted subsidiaries’ generation of cash flow and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or other means. The Unsecured Notes’ indenture contain restrictive covenants that limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to engage in specified types of transactions, including our ability and/or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

84

pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain loans or investments;

incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock;

incur liens on assets;

merge or consolidate with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets to another person;

transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets including capital stock of subsidiaries;

enter into transactions with affiliates; and

allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

We may be unable to take advantage of future business opportunities because of the limitations imposed on us by the Unsecured Notes’ restrictive covenants. If we fail to comply with the Unsecured Notes’ restrictive covenants and are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment, an event of default would result under the terms of the Unsecured Notes’ indenture. In addition, the Unsecured Notes’ restrictive covenants and our overall level of indebtedness including our indebtedness under the Unsecured Notes could limit our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, for working capital and general corporate purposes.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Risk Factors.”

(1)In June 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase to the Company’s common stock repurchase program from $50 million to $500 million. In addition, the Company entered into a privately negotiated transaction with The BlackRock Foundation under the revised stock repurchase program to repurchase 6,975,323 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $34 per share. The stock repurchase program does not require the Company to purchase a specific number of shares, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased are based on market conditions and other factors, including price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. Stock repurchases may be effected through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases, including pursuant to a trading plan implemented pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
