Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that address activities, events, conditions or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business and these statements are not guarantees of future performance. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements may include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Some of these risks are identified and discussed under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

WMIH Corp.

WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”) is a corporation duly organizedother terms that are used herein, in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and existing under the lawsAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this Form 10-Q.


Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the State of Delaware.  On May 11, 2015, WMIH mergedCompany have been prepared in accordance with its parent corporation, WMI Holdings Corp., a Washington corporationU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“WMIHC”GAAP”), with WMIH as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”).   The Merger occurred as part of the reincorporation of WMIHC from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware effective May 11, 2015 (the “Reincorporation Date”).

WMIH, formerly known as WMIHC and Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”), is the direct parent of WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“WMMRC”), and WMI Investment Corp., a Delaware corporation (“WMIIC”). Since the emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012, our business activities consist of operating WMMRC’s legacy reinsurance business in runoff mode. In addition, we are actively seeking acquisition opportunities across a broad array of industries with a specific focus in the for interim financial services industry, including targets with consumer finance, specialty finance, leasinginformation and insurance operations.

As of September 30, 2017, WMIH was authorized to issue up to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (in one or more series), in each case with a par value of $0.00001 per share.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 206,714,132 and 206,380,800 shares, respectively, of WMIH’s common stock were issued and outstanding. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 1,000,000 shares of WMIH’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) were issued and outstanding.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 600,000 shares of WMIH’s 3% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) were issued and outstanding.

While we remain committed to consummating an acquisition, we also are mindful that the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable on January 5, 2018 if we have not consummated a Qualified Acquisition, as more fully described in Note 6: Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions, or executed a definitive agreement to consummate an Acquisition (as such term is defined in Article VI of WMIH’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”)), prior to that date.  Accordingly, as previously disclosed, we formed the Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Finance Committee”), comprised solely of independent directors, to explore potential financing and refinancing alternatives, including the potential restructuring or refinancing of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Finance Committee has retained financial advisors to provide certain financial advisory services in connection with the Finance Committee’s mandate to review the Company’s capital structure and potential financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that any transaction, including a refinancing of the Series B Preferred Stock, will occur or if so on what terms.

WMMRC

WMMRC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH. Prior to August 2008 (at which time WMMRC became a direct subsidiary of WMI), WMMRC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FA Out-of-State Holdings, Inc., a second-tier subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank (“WMB”) and third-tier subsidiary of WMI. WMMRC is a pure captive insurance company domiciled in the State of Hawaii. WMMRC was incorporated on February 25, 2000, and received a Certificate of Authority, dated March 2, 2000, from the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii.

WMMRC was originally organized to reinsure private mortgage insurance risk for seven primary mortgage insurers then offering private mortgage insurance on loans originated or purchased by former subsidiaries of WMI. The seven primary mortgage insurers are United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (“UGRIC”), Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“GMIC”), Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), PMI Mortgage Insurance Company (“PMI”), Radian Guaranty Incorporated (“Radian”), Republic Mortgage Insurance Company (“RMIC”) and Triad Guaranty Insurance Company (“Triad”).

7


Due to the then deteriorating performance in the mortgage guarantee markets and the closure and receivership of WMB, the reinsurance agreements with each of the primary mortgage insurers were terminated or placed into runoff during 2008. The agreements with UGRIC and Triad were placed into runoff effective May 31, 2008. The agreements with all other primary mortgage insurers were placed into runoff effective September 26, 2008. As a result, effective September 26, 2008, WMMRC’s continuing operations consisted solely of the runoff of coverage associated with mortgages placed with the primary mortgage carriers prior to September 26, 2008. In runoff, an insurer generally writes no new business but continues to service its obligations under in force policies and otherwise continues as a licensed insurer. The reinsurance agreements with Triad, PMI and UGRIC were commuted on August 31, 2009, October 2, 2012 and April 3, 2014, respectively, and the related trust assets were distributed in accordance with the commutation agreements.  On October 23, 2017, the reinsurance agreement with Radian was commutedinstructions to Form 10-Q and the related trust assets were released to WMMRC.  On September 13, 2017, the Insurance DivisionArticle 10 of the State of Hawaii approved this commutation and a related distribution of up to $10.7 million to WMIH, which distribution has not been completedRegulation S-X as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.   For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Events. As a result, WMMRC’s current continuing operations, subsequent to the Radian commutation, consist solely of the runoff of coverage associated with mortgages placed with the following three remaining carriers, GMIC, MGIC and RMIC.

WMIIC

WMIIC does not currently have any operations and is fully eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

WMIH resumed timely filing of all periodic reports for a reporting company under the Exchange Act for all periods after emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”).  

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations ofpromulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included inCommission. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures included are appropriate. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidatedfootnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements as of that date.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filedincluded in the Company’s Annual ReportReports on Form 10-K filed withfor the SEC on March 14, 2017. Interim information presented in the unauditedyear ended December 31, 2021.


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

Share-based compensation for restricted stock units granted to employees of a normal, recurring naturethe Company, consultants, and necessary fornon-employee directors is based on the fair statementmarket value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period on a straight-line basis using an accelerated attribution model. Shares for these awards are issued to employees from treasury stock.

Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial position,statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and those variable interest entities (“VIE”) where the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Assets and liabilities of VIEs and their respective results of operations are consolidated from the date that the Company became the primary beneficiary through the date the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary. The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments where it is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicativeprocedures of the results to be expectedentity and owns less than 50% of the voting interests. These investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently adjusted for Company’s proportionate share of earnings and losses in the full year ending December 31, 2017.

Allinvestee. Investments in certain companies over which the Company does not exert significant intercompanyinfluence are recorded at fair value, or at cost upon election of measurement alternative, at the end of each reporting period. Intercompany balances and transactions and balanceson consolidated entities have been eliminated in preparingeliminated.


Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to factors such as adverse changes in the economy, changes in interest rates, secondary market pricing for loans held for sale and derivatives, strength of underwriting and servicing practices, changes in prepayment assumptions, declines in home prices or discrete events adversely affecting specific borrowers, uncertainties in the economy from the COVID-19 pandemic, and such differences could be material.


Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2021 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to 2022 presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues or net income.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted
The Company did not adopt any accounting guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.


2. Dispositions

Sale of Mortgage Servicing Platform
On March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of its servicing and subservicing technology platform for performing and non-performing mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Servicing Platform”) to Sagent M&C, LLC (“Sagent”), in exchange for Class A-1 Common Units equal to 19.9% ownership of Sagent, and the sale of certain tangible personal property of the Company used in the conduct of the Mortgage Servicing Platform in exchange for $9.9 in cash, for total consideration of $260 (the “Sagent Transaction”). In connection with the Sagent Transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $223, which was included in other income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and recorded $4 transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net carrying amount of assets and liabilities associated with the Sagent Transaction was $31 and reported under Corporate/Other.

The Company accounted for the equity interest under the equity method of accounting, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Sagent’s operating and financial decisions but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control the respective entity. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of Sagent’s earnings or losses and distributions. The initial cost of the equity interest recorded was $250, which represented the fair value as of March 31, 2022.

Sale of Reverse Servicing Portfolio
On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its reverse servicing portfolio, operating under Champion Mortgage brand (“Champion”), to Mortgage Assets Management, LLC and its affiliates (“MAM”) for total consideration of $1,640. Upon close of the transaction, MAM assumed Champion’s reverse portfolio and related operations. The Company recorded no transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities associated with the reverse servicing operation were reported under the Servicing segment. The sale of business represents a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. Therefore, the sale of the reverse servicing portfolio qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations, and disclosurethe related results of contingentoperations are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for prior periods presented.

As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a transitional servicing agreement with MAM, under which the Company was compensated for continuing to subservice the reverse loans through the date that the loans are transferred out of Company’s servicing system. The transfer of the loans out of the Company’s servicing system was completed on April 1, 2022. In addition, the Company retained certain loans related to the reverse servicing portfolio, primarily related to previously liquidated loans. As of March 31, 2022, the retained total assets and total liabilities were $48 and $39, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the retained total assets and total liabilities were $55 and $39, respectively. The retained assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management has made significant estimatesare included in certain areas, including valuing certain financial instruments, other assets, and payables and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of MSRs, of which $342 and none were retained by the Company as subservicer, respectively.


MSRs are segregated between investor type into agency and non-agency pools (referred to herein as “investor pools”) based upon contractual servicing agreements with investors at the respective balance sheet date to evaluate the MSR portfolio and fair value of the portfolio. Agency investors primarily consist of government sponsored enterprises (“GSE”), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or “FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (“Freddie Mac” or “FHLMC”), and the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae” or “GNMA”). Non-agency investors consist of investors in private-label securitizations.

The following table provides a breakdown of UPB and fair value for the Company’s MSRs:

Refer to Note 13, Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Generally,Measurements, for assets that are reported at fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices or valuation models to estimate their fair value. These models incorporatefurther discussion on key weighted-average inputs such as forward yield curves, market volatilities and pricing spreads, utilizing market-based inputs where readily available. The degree of management judgment involvedassumptions used in estimating the fair value of MSRs.

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of an adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a financial instrument orvariation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assetassumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.

Excess Spread Financing - Fair Value
The Company had excess spread financing liability of $815 and $768 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for key weighted-average inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of excess spread financing liability.

Credit Loss for Advances and Other Receivables
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company increased the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve by $4 and $1, respectively. In addition, the Company wrote off $5 of the CECL reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the total CECL reserve was $30, of which $22 and $8 were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the total CECL reserve was $39, of which $22 and $17 were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively.

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

6. Loans Subject to Repurchase from Ginnie Mae

Forward loans are sold to Ginnie Mae in conjunction with the issuance of mortgage backed securities. The Company, as the issuer of the mortgage backed securities, has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including payments not being received from borrowers for greater than 90 days. Once the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, it has effectively regained control over the loan and recognizes these rights to the loan on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and establishes a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of the Company’s intention to repurchase the loan. The Company had loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae of $1,175 and $1,496 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are included in both other assets and payables and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $1,003 and $1,301 loans in forbearance related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), respectively, whereby no payments have been received from borrowers for greater than 90 days.


7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company had goodwill of $120 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and intangible assets of $13 and $14 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill and intangible assets are included in other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


8. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative instruments are used as part of the overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates related to originations. Derivative instruments utilized by the Company primarily include interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), loan purchase commitments (“LPCs”), forward Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”) purchase commitments, Eurodollar and Treasury futures and interest rate swap agreements. The changes in unrealized gains and lossesvalue on investments held at the balance sheet datederivative instruments are recognized and reportedrecorded in earnings as a component of net investment incomegain on mortgage loans held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statement of operations.cash flows, except for a portion of forward MBS trades to hedge MSR pipelines and related fair value changes, which is recorded in service related, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in changes in other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company incurred interest expense related to advance and warehouse facilities, unsecured senior notes and excess spread financing of $86 and $93 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Financial Covenants
The Company’s credit facilities contain various financial covenants which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements, which are measured at the Company’s operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. The Company was in compliance with its required financial covenants as of March 31, 2022.


10. Securitizations and Financings

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

The Company has determined that the SPEs created in connection with certain advance facilities trusts should be consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary of each of these entities.

11. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to potential cash flow generateddividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered participating securities because it has dividend rights determined on an as-converted basis in the event of Company’s declaration of a dividend or distribution for common shares. In 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 14,773 thousand shares of its common stock from affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), a related party of the Company. In addition, in August 2021, the Company repurchased 1,000 thousand shares of its preferred stock from affiliates of KKR. After giving effect to these transactions, KKR no longer held any equity interests in the Company.

12. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the effective tax rate for continuing operations was 24.0%, which differed from the investment portfoliostatutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and reduces subjectivity relatedpermanent differences including nondeductible executive compensation. The effective tax rate increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to evaluating other-than-temporary impairmentthe same period in 2021, primarily due to the impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to the income before taxes for the respective period, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and prior period tax credits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the effective tax rate for continuing operations was 22.8% which differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, as well as unfavorable permanent differences including executive compensation disallowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

13. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and should be determined based on the Company’s investment portfolio.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of their short-term nature.

The carrying value ofassumptions that market participants would use in pricing the loss contract reserve approximates itsasset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value and ismeasurements, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy has been established based on valuation methodologies using discounted cash flows at interest rates which approximate the Company’s weighted-average costlevel of capital.

The carrying value ofobservable inputs used in the derivative embedded conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock is adjusted to its fair value as determined using Level 3 inputs described below under fair value measurement.  

The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value based on time to maturity, underlying collateral, and prevailing interest rates.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company’s estimatesmeasurement of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions.

The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

(e.g., Level 1–Inputs to the valuation methodology are1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in an active markets.

market; Level 2–Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilityincluded within Level 1; and market corroborated inputs.

Level 3–Valuations3 representing estimated values based on models where significant unobservable inputs).


There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

Fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets when available (Level 1). The Company receives the quoted prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service. When quoted prices are not available,used by the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine an estimate of fair value. The fair value is generally estimated using current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality, commonly referred to as matrix pricing (Level 2). These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment. The Company recognizes transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.

Fixed-Maturity Securities

Fixed-maturity securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies and domestic and foreign corporate debt securities. Fixed-maturity securities held in trust are for the benefit of the primary insurers as more fully described in Note 3: Insurance Activity. Investments in fixed-maturity securities are reported at their estimatedestimating fair values and are classified as trading securities in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Realized gains and losses on the sale of fixed-maturity securities are determined using the specific identification methodLevel 2 and are reported as a component of net investment income within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Investments Held in Trust

Investments held in trust consist of cash equivalents, which include highly liquid overnight money market instruments, and fixed-maturity securities which are held in trust for the benefit of the primary insurers, as more fully described in Note 3: Insurance Activity and Note 4: Investment Securities, and are subject to the restrictions on distribution of net assets of subsidiaries as described below.

Third Party Restrictions on Distribution of Net Assets of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

The net assets of WMMRC are subject to restrictions on distribution from multiple sources, including the primary insurers who have approval control of distributions from the trust, and the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii who has approval authority over distributions or intercompany advances.  As more fully described in Note 14: Subsequent Events, a distribution from WMMRC to WMIH of up to $10.7 million was approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii on September 13, 2017.

Premium Recognition

Premiums assumed are earned on a daily pro-rata basis over the underlying policy terms. Premiums assumed relating to the unexpired portion of policies in force at the balance sheet date are recorded as unearned premiums. Unearned premiums also include a reserve for post default premium reserves. Post default premium reserves occur when a loan is in a default position and the servicer continues to advance the premiums. If the loan ultimately goes to claim, the premiums advanced during the period of default are subject to recapture. The Company records a default premium reserve based on information provided by the underlying mortgage insurers when they provide information on the default premium reserve separately from other reserves. The change in the post default premium reserve is reflected as a reduction or increase, as the case may be, in premiums assumed. The Company has recorded unearned premiums totaling $33 thousand and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company recognizes premium deficiencies when there is a probable loss on an insurance contract. Premium deficiencies are recognized if the sum of the present value of expected losses and loss adjustment expenses, unamortized deferred acquisition costs, and maintenance costs, excluding intercompany charges, exceed expected future unearned premiums and anticipated investment income. Premium deficiency reserves have been recorded totaling $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Intercompany administrative costs are excluded from the computation of premium deficiencies.

The Company’s premium deficiency analysis was performed on a single book basis and includes all book years and reinsurance treaties aggregated together using assumptions based on the actuarial best estimates at the balance sheet date. The calculation for premium deficiency requires significant judgment and includes estimates of future expected premiums, claims, loss adjustment expenses and investment income as of the balance sheet date. To the extent ultimate losses are higher or premiums are lower than estimated, additional premium deficiency reserves may be required in the future.

10


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, U.S. Treasury bills and overnight investments. Except as described above in Investments Held in Trust, the Company considers all amounts that are invested in highly liquid overnight money market instruments to be cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures amounts on deposit with each financial institution up to limits as prescribed by law. The Company may hold funds with financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insured amount, however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes (i) amounts held for the express purposes of paying principal, interest and related fees on the Runoff Notes (as defined in Note 7: Notes Payable) pursuant to the terms of the Indentures (as defined in Note 7: Notes Payable) and (ii) proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock offering held in escrow.

Ceding Commission Expense

The Company is required to pay a ceding commission to certain primary insurers pursuant to certain reinsurance agreements.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Reserves

The losses and loss adjustment reserves include case basis estimates of reported losses and supplemental amounts for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. A default is considered the incident (e.g., the failure to make timely payment of mortgage payments) that may give rise to a claim for mortgage insurance. In establishing the losses and loss adjustment reserve, the Company based its estimates primarily on the ceded loss and loss adjustment reserves as provided by the primary mortgage guaranty carriers.

WMMRC has recorded reserves at the ceded case reserves and IBNR loss levels established and reported by the primary mortgage guaranty carriers as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Management believes that the recorded aggregate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses at period end represents the Company’s best estimate, based upon the available data, of the amount necessary to cover the current cost of losses. However, due to the inherent uncertainty arising from fluctuations in the persistency rate of mortgage insurance claims, the Company’s size and lack of prior operating history, external factors such as future changes in regional or national economic conditions, judicial decisions, federal and state legislation related to mortgage restructuring and foreclosure restrictions, claims denials and coverage rescissions by primary carriers and other factors beyond the Company’s control, it is not presently possible to determine whether actual loss experience will conform to the assumptions used in determining the estimated amounts for such liability at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the ultimate liability could be significantly higher or lower, as the case may be, than the amount indicated in the financial statements and there can be no assurance that the reserve amounts recorded will be sufficient. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations.

Loss Contract Reserve

A loss contract reserve relating to contractual obligations of WMMRC was established at March 19, 2012 as a result of applying fresh start accounting and in compliance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-55-21 (b) (1) which defines a loss contract as “a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.”  The value of this reserve is analyzed quarterly and is adjusted accordingly.  The adjustment (if any) to the reserve produces an expense or contra-expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Embedded Conversion Feature

The Company has recorded a derivative embedded conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock which is adjusted to its fair value as determined using Level 3 inputs described above under Fair Value Measurement.  The change in fair value of the derivative embedded conversion feature is calculated at each reporting dateassets and recordedliabilities as other income or other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Other Liabilities

11


At September 30, 2017, the total balance of $13.8 million of other liabilities is comprised of $12.3 million of accrued fees relating to the Series B Preferred Stock offering, an accrual for professional fees and recurring business expenses currently payable of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million of accrued dividends relating to the Series B Preferred Stock. The accrued fees would be paid in the event of a Qualified Acquisition, as more fully described in Note 6: Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has no comprehensive income other than the net income disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Net Income Per Common Share

In calculating earnings per share, the Company follows the two-class method, which distinguishes between the classes of securities based on the proportionate participation rights of each security type in the Company's undistributed income. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are treated as one class for purposes of applying the two-class method, because they have substantially equal rights and share equally on an as converted basis with respect to income available to WMIH common stockholders.

Basic net income per WMIH common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to WMIH’s common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period after subtracting the weighted-average of any unvested restricted shares outstanding, as these are subject to repurchase.  Basic net income attributable to common stockholders is computed by deducting preferred dividends and the basic calculation of undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities from net income.

Diluted net income per WMIH common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to WMIH’s common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period after subtracting the weighted-average of any unvested restricted shares outstanding, as these are subject to repurchase, and adding any potentially dilutive WMIH common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders is computed by deducting preferred dividends and the diluted calculation of undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities from net income.

If common stock equivalents exist, in periods where there is a net loss, diluted net loss per common share would be equal to or less than basic net loss per common share, since the effect of including any common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

Equity-Based Compensation

On May 22, 2012, WMIH’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) approved the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) so that awards of restricted stock could be made to its non-employee directors and to have a plan in place for awards of equity based compensation to executives and others in connection with the Company’s operations and future strategic plans. A total of 2.0 million shares of WMIH’s common stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2012 Plan, which became effective upon the Board approval on May 22, 2012. On February 10, 2014, the Board approved and adopted a First Amendment to the 2012 Plan, pursuant to which the number of shares of WMIH’s common stock reserved and available for grants under the 2012 Plan was increased from 2.0 million shares to 3.0 million shares, and the terms of the 2012 Plan were modified to permit such an increase through action of the Board, except when stockholder approval is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which WMIH’s shares are listed, quoted or traded. On February 25, 2015, the number of shares authorized and available for awards under the 2012 Plan was increased from 3.0 million to 12.0 million shares of WMIH’s common stock, subject to approval of stockholders of WMIH.  This approval was received at the Company’s Annual Meeting of StockholdersReports on April 28, 2015. The 2012 Plan provides for the granting of restricted shares and other cash and share based awards. The value of restricted stock is generally determined using the fair market value determined to be the trading price at the close of business on the respective date the awards were granted.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and losses carried forward and tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws applicable to the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.

12


The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Penalties and interest, of which there are none, would be reflected in income tax expense. Tax years are open to the extent the Company has net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards available to be utilized currently.

Dividend Policy

WMIH has paid no dividends on its common stock on or after the Effective Date and currently has no plans to pay a dividend on its common stock.

WMIH has declared and paid $13.5 million and $18.0 million of dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Additionally, WMIH has accrued unpaid and undeclared dividends of $0.7 million, based on the Series B Preferred Stock 3% interest rate, as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements issued between August 9, 2017, the filing date of our most recent prior Form 10-Q, and the filing date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no pronouncements issued are relevant to the Company, and/or have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosure requirements.

Note 3: Insurance Activity

The Company, through WMMRC, reinsures mortgage guaranty risks of mortgage loans originated by affiliates of the Company during the period from 1997 through 2008. WMMRC is (or was) a party to reinsurance agreements with UGRIC, GMIC, MGIC, PMI, Radian, RMIC and Triad. The agreements with UGRIC and Triad were placed into runoff effective May 31, 2008. The agreements with all other primary mortgage insurers were placed into runoff effective September 26, 2008. The reinsurance agreements with Triad, PMI and UGRIC were commuted on August 31, 2009, October 2, 2012 and April 3, 2014, respectively. On October 23, 2017, the reinsurance agreement with Radian was commuted and the related trust assets were released to WMMRC.  For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Events.

All agreements between WMMRC and the primary mortgage insurers are on an excess of loss basis, except for a reinsurance treaty with GMIC during 2008, which is reinsured on a 50% quota share basis. Pursuant to the excess of loss reinsurance treaties, WMMRC reinsures a second loss layer which ranges from 5% to 10% of the risk in force in excess of the primary mortgage insurer’s first loss percentage which range from 4% to 5%. Each calendar year, or book year, is treated separately from other years when calculating losses. In return for accepting a portion of the risk, WMMRC receives, net of ceding commission, a percentage of the premium that ranges from 25% to 40%.

As security for the ceding insurers, WMMRC has entered into separate trust agreements with each of the primary mortgage insurance companies whereby a portion of the funds from premiums assumed are held in trust accounts for the benefit of each separate insurer. Pursuant to the terms of the reinsurance agreements, WMMRC is required to keep such assets in trust for a minimum of five years and is subject to claims for up to ten years from termination of obligations arising from the last year in which insurance business was written prior to runoff. Release of funds from the trust by WMMRC requires approval from the primary mortgage insurance companies.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s investments is conducted quarterly. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications are reported as transfers in or transfers out of the applicable Level at the end of the calendar quarter in which the reclassifications occur. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, $0.9 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of investments were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 as a result of improving market conditions for short-term and investment grade corporate securities.

Note 5: Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net income attributable to common and participating stockholders of approximately $21.4 million. The Company projects tax losses for the year ending December 31, 2017.  Due to this projected tax loss and the existence of NOL carry-forwards which have a 100% valuation allowance recorded to reduce them to zero, the Company has not recorded an income tax expense or benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to tax losses in that period.

2021.


The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, WMMRC’s federal income tax liability is calculated on a separate return basis determined by applying 35% to taxable income, in accordance withfollowing tables present the provisionsestimated carrying amount and fair value of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that apply to propertyCompany’s financial instruments and casualty insurance companies. WMIH, as WMMRC’s parent, pays federal income taxes on behalf of WMMRC and settles the federal income tax obligation on a current basis in accordance with the tax sharing agreement. WMMRC made no tax payments to WMIH during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016 associated with the Company’s tax liability from the preceding year.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from temporary differences between the valuation ofother assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

14. Capital Requirements

Certain of the Company’s secondary market investors require minimum net worth (“capital”) requirements, as specified in the future.

On March 19, 2012, WMIH emerged from bankruptcy. Prior to emergence, WMI abandoned the stock of WMB, thereby generating a worthless stock deduction of approximately $8.37 billion which gave rise to a NOL for the year ended December 31, 2012. Under Section 382respective selling and servicing agreements. In addition, these investors may require capital ratios in excess of the Code (“Section 382”),stated requirements to approve large servicing transfers. To the extent that these requirements are not met, the Company’s secondary market investors may utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or ultimately termination of the Company’s selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit the Company from further originating or securitizing these specific types of mortgage loans or being an approved servicer. The Company’s various capital requirements related to its outstanding selling and servicing agreements are measured based on the Company’s analysis,operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.



15. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

23

Table of Contents
The Company operates within highly regulated industries on a federal, state and local level. In the normal and ordinary course of its business, the Company is routinely subject to extensive examinations, investigations, subpoenas, inquiries and reviews by various federal, state and local governmental, regulatory and enforcement agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, various State mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General, related to the Company’s residential loan servicing and origination practices, its financial reporting and other aspects of its businesses. Any pending or potential future investigations, subpoenas, examinations or inquiries may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or settlements, and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in the Company’s business practices, and additional expenses and collateral costs. The Company is cooperating fully in these matters. Responding to these matters requires the Company to devote substantial resources, resulting in higher costs and lower net cash flows. Adverse results in any of these matters could further increase the Company’s operating expenses and reduce its revenues, require it to change business practices and limit its ability to grow and otherwise materially and adversely affect its business, reputation, financial condition and results of operation.

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

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

As a legal matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is both probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to legal-related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Legal-related expense for the Company include legal settlements and the fees paid to external legal service providers and are included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $2 of legal-related recoveries, net of legal-related expenses, and $13 of legal-related expense, respectively.

For matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material legal matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. Management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is $10 to $18 in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters as of March 31, 2022. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary substantially from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within the estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what management believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure and the Company cannot provide assurance that its litigations reserves will not need to be adjusted in the future. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or this aggregate amount.

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

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

Other Loss Contingencies
As part of the Company’s ongoing operations, it acquires servicing rights of mortgage loan portfolios that are subject to indemnification based on the representations and warranties of the seller. From time to time, the Company will seek recovery under these representations and warranties for incurred costs. The Company believes all balances sought from sellers recorded in advances and other receivables represent valid claims. However, the Company acknowledges that the claims process can be prolonged due to the required time to perfect claims at the loan level. Because of the required time to perfect or remediate these claims, management relies on the sufficiency of documentation supporting the claim, current negotiations with the counterparty and other evidence to evaluate whether a reserve is required for non-recoverable balances. In the absence of successful negotiations with the seller, all amounts claimed may not be recovered. Balances may be written-off and charged against earnings when management identifies amounts where recoverability from the seller is not likely. As of March 31, 2022, the Company believes all recorded balances for which recovery is sought from the seller are valid claims, and no evidence suggests additional reserves are warranted.

Loan and Other Commitments
The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. The Company also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments, for more information.


16. Segment Information

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

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company updated its presentation of segments to align with a change in the reporting package provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. In 2021, the Company sold its Title business, Valuations business and Field Services business. The Title, Valuations and Field Services businesses were previously reported under the Xome segment. With the sale of the majority of Xome’s operations and the related changes to business structure and internal reporting, the Xome segment is no longer considered a reportable segment. Accordingly, beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company began reporting Xome’s financial results within Corporate/Other. Prior year financial information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the updated presentation.

On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its reverse servicing portfolio, operating under the Champion Mortgage brand, to MAM and its affiliates. The reverse servicing operation was previously reported in the Company’s Servicing segment. The reverse servicing operation is presented as discontinued operations in Company’s condensed financial statements for all periods presented and, as such, is not included in the continuing operations of the Servicing segment.

On March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Mortgage Servicing Platform to Sagent and recorded a gain of $223, which was included in other income, net within the condensed statements of operations and reported under Corporate/Other. Refer to Note 2, Dispositions for further details.

CAUTIONS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, core initiatives, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts, including the projected impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial performance and operating results. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “appears,” “believe,” “foresee,” “intend,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “are likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve predictions of our future financial condition, performance, plans and strategies and are thus dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, assumptions and data that may be imprecise or incorrect. Specific factors that may impact performance or other predictions of future actions have, in many but not all cases, been identified in connection with specific forward-looking statements. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and we are under no obligation to, and express disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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

economic, financial and public health disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic;
our ability to maintain or grow the size of our servicing portfolio;
our ability to maintain or grow our originations volume and profitability;
our ability to recapture voluntary prepayments related to our existing servicing portfolio;
our shift in the mix of our servicing portfolio to subservicing, which is highly concentrated;
delays in our ability to collect or be reimbursed for servicing advances;
our ability to obtain sufficient liquidity and capital to operate our business;
changes in prevailing interest rates;
our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives;
our ability to realize anticipated benefits of our previous acquisitions;
our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes;
changes in our business relationships or changes in servicing guidelines with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae;
our ability to pay down debt;
our ability to manage legal and regulatory examinations and enforcement investigations and proceedings, compliance requirements and related costs;
our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; and
our ability to maintain our licenses and other regulatory approvals.

All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the Company experienced an “ownership change” (generally definedassumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a greater than 50% change (by value) in our equity ownership over a three-year period) on March 19, 2012, and our ability to use our pre-change of control NOLs andrepresentation by us or any other pre-change tax attributes against our post-change income was limited. The Section 382 limitation is applied annually so as to limit the use of our pre-change NOLs to an amount that generally equals the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change multiplied by a designated federal long-term tax-exempt rate. Due to applicable limitations under Section 382 and a reduction of tax attributes due to cancellation of indebtedness, a portion of these NOLs were limited and will expire unused. We believeperson that the total availableresults or conditions described in such statements, or our objectives and utilizable NOL carry-forward at December 31, 2016 was approximately $6.0 billion. At September 30, 2017, there was no limitation on the useplans will be achieved. Please refer to Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of these NOLs. These NOLs will begin to expireFinancial Condition and Results of Operations, included in 2031. The Company’s ability to utilize the NOLs or realize any benefits related to the NOLs is subject to a number of risks. (See Part I-Item 1A. Risk Factorsthis report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016).

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the income tax accounting guidance. The Company has analyzed filing positions in the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file tax returns, as well as the open tax years in these jurisdictions. Tax years 2011 to present are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company believes that its federal income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain federal income tax positions have been recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for federal income taxes. The Company did not incur any federal income tax related interest income, interest expense or penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 6: Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions

WMMRC has engaged a Hawaii-based service provider, Marsh Management Services, Inc., to provide accounting and related management services for its operations. In exchange for performing these services, WMMRC pays such service provider a management fee.

WMIH entered into an Investment Management Agreement and an Administrative Services Agreement with WMMRC on March 19, 2012. Each of these agreements was approved by WMMRC’s primary regulator, the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii. Total amounts incurred under these agreements totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The expense and related income eliminate on consolidation. These agreements are described below.

Under the terms of such Investment Management Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee equal to the product of (x) the ending dollar amount of assets under management during the calendar month in question and (y) .002 divided by 12. WMIH is responsible for investing the funds of WMMRC based on applicable investment criteria and subject to rules and regulations to which WMMRC is subject.

17


Under the terms of such Administrative Services Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee of $110 thousand per month. WMIH is responsible for providing administrative services to support, among other things, supervision, governance, financial administration and reporting, risk management and claims management as may be necessary, together with such other general or specific administrative services that may be reasonably required or requested by WMMRC in the ordinary course of its business.

On March 22, 2012, WMIH and the WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”). Pursuant to the TSA, the Trust makes available certain services and employees. The TSA provides the Company with basic infrastructure and support services to facilitate the Company’s operations. The TSA, as amended, extends the term of the agreement through January 31, 2019, with automatic renewals thereafter for successive additional three-month terms, subject to non-renewal at the end of any additional term upon written notice by either party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the additional term.

In connection with implementing the Company’s Seventh Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (as modified, the “Plan”), certain holders of specified “Allowed Claims” had the right to elect to receive such holder’s “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment.” Essentially, the Plan defines the “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment” as a pro rata share of ten million (10,000,000) shares of WMIH’s common stock (i.e. five percent (5%)) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date. Holders exercising the foregoing election did so in lieu of receiving (i) 50% of such holder’s interest in and to certain litigation proceeds that could be realized by the Trust on account of certain claims and causes of action asserted by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan (“Litigation Proceeds”), and (ii) some or all of the Runoff Notes to which such holder may be entitled (if such holder elected to receive Runoff Notes in accordance with the terms of the Plan).

If a holder exercised the election described above and, as a result of such election, received shares of WMIH’s common stock, then such holder’s share of Runoff Notes to which the election was effective (i.e., One Dollar ($1.00) of original principal amount of Runoff Notes for each share of WMIH’s common stock) were not issued. In addition, as a result of making the aforementioned election, such holders conveyed to WMIH, and WMIH retained an economic interest in Litigation Proceeds, if any, recovered by the Trust in connection with certain litigation brought by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan. Distributions, if any, to WMIH on account of the foregoing will be effected in accordance with the Plan and the court order confirming the Plan.

On or about October 14, 2014, the Trust filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington against 16 former directors and officers of WMI (the “D&O Litigation”). The Trust’s complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants named therein breached their fiduciary duties to WMI and committed corporate waste and fraud by squandering WMI’s financial resources.  In connection with the settlement of the D&O Litigation, during the year ended December 31, 2015, among the Trust, certain former directors and officers of WMI and certain insurance carriers that underwrote director and officer liability insurance policies for the benefit of WMI and its affiliates (including such former directors and officers), such insurance carriers agreed to pay the Trust $37.0 million, of which $3.0 million would be placed into a segregated reserve account (the “RSA Reserve”) to be administered by a third party pursuant to the terms of a Reserve Settlement Agreement (the “RSA”).

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, WMIH had other income of $123 thousand and $7.8 million, respectively, as a result of its receipt of net Litigation Proceeds related to the D&O Litigation.  As of September 30, 2017, $1.5 million remained in the RSA Reserve.  Under the RSA, funds are released from the RSA Reserve to the Trust if and when certain designated conditions are satisfied.  If and when these funds are released to the Trust, and to the extent WMIH is entitled to receive such funds in accordance with the Plan, it is anticipated the Trust will make payments to WMIH in an amount equal to WMIH’s share of Litigation Proceeds as provided under the Plan.  Due to the contingent nature of future distributions from the RSA Reserve, there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions from the remaining balance in the RSA Reserve in the future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, WMIH has recorded income from Litigation Proceeds of $123 thousand.  As of September 30, 2017, WMIH has not received any Litigation Proceeds, other than as described above.  

In preparation for the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock, WMIH engaged KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR & Co. L.P., to act as a joint book-running manager for the Series B Preferred Stock offering.  KCM also acted as an initial purchaser of the Series B Preferred Stock.   During the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of satisfying a post-closing covenant to reincorporate in the State of Delaware within 180 days following the closing of the Series B Preferred Stock offering, we paid $8.25 million to KCM.  Upon consummation of a “Qualified Acquisition” (as such term is defined in Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation), we will pay KCM an additional fee (the “KCM Deferred Fee”) of $8.25 million.  We have recorded the KCM Deferred Fee in “other liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and this amount was included in “accrued fees relating to Series B Preferred Stock issuance” on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.


Note 7: Notes Payable

On the Effective Date, WMIH issued $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior First Lien Notes due 2030 (the “First Lien Notes”) under an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “First Lien Indenture”), between WMIH and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. Additionally, WMIH issued $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Second Lien Notes” and, together with the First Lien Notes, the “Runoff Notes”) under an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Second Lien Indenture” and, together with the First Lien Indenture, the “Indentures”), between WMIH and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as Trustee. On January 5, 2017, The Law Debenture Trust Company of New York notified WMIH that it had completed the transfer of substantially all of its corporate trust business to Delaware Trust Company, and that Delaware Trust Company had become the successor trustee under the Second Lien Indenture. The Runoff Notes were scheduled to mature on March 19, 2030 and pay interest quarterly.

The Runoff Notes were secured by, and had a specified priority in right of payment in, a securities or deposit account into which WMIH was required to deposit distributions it received of Runoff Proceeds (as defined in the Indentures) (the “Collateral Account”). WMIH agreed to cause WMMRC, while the Runoff Notes were outstanding, to deposit all distributions, dividends or other receipts in respect of Runoff Proceeds Distributions (as defined in the Indentures) on the date paid to WMIH in the Collateral Account established in accordance with the terms of the Indentures. On any interest payment date, payments were made from the Collateral Account and from any other Runoff Proceeds Distributions in the priority set forth in the Indentures. In connection with certain interest payments due and payable in respect of the First and Second Lien Notes, WMIH elected, consistent with the terms of the Indentures, to issue payment-in-kind notes in lieu of making such interest payments in cash when no cash was available.

As of April 15, 2015, the First Lien Notes were fully redeemed by the Company, and on April 27, 2015, the First Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged.

Second Lien Note principal outstanding totaled zero and approximately $18.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Approximately $18.8 million of Second Lien Note principal was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $2.9 million of Second Lien Note principal was paid during the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest on Second Lien Notes paid in cash totaled approximately $2.0 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 29, 2017, the Second Lien Notes were fully redeemed by the Company, and on October 2, 2017, the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged. As a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the Second Lien Indenture the Collateral Account was subsequently closed and remaining funds transferred to cash and cash equivalents to be used for general corporate purposes.  For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Events.

Note 8: Financing Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no debt financing arrangements in place.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no debt financing arrangements in place other than the Second Lien Notes which are described in Note 7: Notes Payable.

Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments

On the Effective Date, all shares of common and preferred equity securities previously issued by WMI were cancelled and extinguished. As of the Effective Date, and pursuant to WMIHC’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), WMIHC was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, in one or more series, each with a par value of $0.00001 per share. 200,000,000 shares of common stock were issued by WMIHC pursuant to the Plan and in reliance on Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date.

On the Reincorporation Date all shares of common and preferred equity securities previously issued by WMIHC automatically were converted into one share of the substantially similar common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, of WMIH. At the same time, each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of WMIH’s common stock was converted into an option, right or warrant to acquire an equal number of shares of WMIH’s common stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants. As of the Reincorporation Date, and pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, WMIH is authorized to issue up to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, in one or more series, each with a par value of $0.00001 per share.

All of the terms of the agreements described below and attributed to WMIH are also attributable to WMIHC relative to the various agreements and instruments prior to the Reincorporation Date.  The references to WMIH are based on the date this Form 10-Q has been filed.  The references would have been to WMIHC prior to the Reincorporation Date.

On January 30, 2014, WMIH entered into (i) an investment agreement, dated as of January 30, 2014 (the “Investment Agreement”), with KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (“KKR Fund”) and, for limited purposes, KKR Management Holdings L.P., and (ii) an investor rights agreement, dated as of January 30, 2014 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), with KKR Fund. On January 30, 2014, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, WMIH issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock having the terms, rights, obligations and preferences contained in the Articles of Amendment of WMIH dated January 30, 2014 for a purchase price equal to $11.1 million and has issued to KKR Fund warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 61.4 million shares of WMIH’s common stock, 30.7 million of which have an exercise price of $1.32 per share and 30.7 million of which have an exercise price of $1.43 per share (together, the “Warrants”).  

The Series A Preferred Stock has rights substantially similar to those associated with WMIH’s common stock, with the exception of a liquidation preference, conversion rights and customary anti-dilution protections. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $10.00 per one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares and (ii) the amount that the holder would be entitled to in a relevant transaction had the Series A Preferred Stock been converted to common stock of WMIH.  The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $1.10 per share into shares of common stock of WMIH either at the option of the holder or automatically upon transfer by KKR Fund to a non-affiliated party. As a result of the calculation of a beneficial conversion feature as required by ASC topic 470 - Debt a preferred deemed dividend of $9.5 million was recorded in conjunction with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. This preferred deemed dividend resulted in an increase to our accumulated deficit, and an increase in additional paid in capital. Further, KKR Fund, as the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, has received other rights pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement as described below.

The Warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance and are subject to customary structural adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions. KKR Fund’s rights as a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, and the rights of any subsequent holder that is an affiliate of KKR Fund (together with KKR Fund, the “Series A Holders”) are governed by the Investor Rights Agreement.  

In accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, except for the issuance of WMIH’s common stock in respect of the Warrants and the Series A Preferred Stock, KKR Fund and its affiliates shall not purchase or acquire any equity securities of WMIH or its subsidiaries without WMIH’s prior written consent, subject to certain exceptions.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides the Series A Holders with registration rights, including three long form demand registration rights, unlimited short form demand registration rights and customary piggyback registration rights with respect to WMIH’s common stock (and WMIH’s common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants), subject to certain minimum thresholds, customary blackout periods and lockups of 180 days. On July 1, 2015, WMIH filed a shelf registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering resales of Series B Preferred Stock and WMIH’s common stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.  On November 23, 2015, WMIH amended the Initial Registration Statement to cover WMIH’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of WMIH’s common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in connection with the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock currently outstanding (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act on November 25, 2015.

For as long as the Series A Holders beneficially own any shares of common stock of WMIH or Series A Preferred Stock or any of the Warrants, WMIH has agreed to provide customary Rule 144A information rights, to provide the Series A Holders with regular audited and unaudited financial statements and to allow the Series A Holders or their representatives to inspect WMIH’s books and records.

The foregoing description of (i) the Investor Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Investor Rights Agreement, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.2 on Form 8-K on January 31, 2014, and incorporated by reference, (ii) the Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Form of Tranche A Warrant and Form of Tranche B Warrant, which were filed with the SEC as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4, respectively, on Form 8-K on January 31, 2014, and incorporated by reference, (iii) the Series A Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment of WMIH dated January 30, 2014, which were filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.5 on Form 8-K on January 31, 2014, and incorporated by reference, the Form of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.6 on Form 8-K on January 31, 2014, and incorporated by reference, and the Certificate of Incorporation, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3.1 on Form 8-K12G3 on May 13, 2015, and incorporated by reference, and (iv) the Investment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Investment Agreement, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K on January 31, 2014, and incorporated by reference.

On January 5, 2015, WMIH, in connection with an offering of 600,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, filed with the Secretary of State of Washington Articles of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) containing the Designation of Rights and Preferences of the 3% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) creating the Series B Preferred Stock and designating the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock.

20


The foregoing descriptions of the Articles of Amendment and the Certificate of Designation are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the Articles of Amendment and the Certificate of Designation, filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 4.1 to a Form 8-K on January 5, 2015, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein, and the Certificate of Incorporation, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3.1 on Form 8-K12G3 on May 13, 2015, and incorporated by reference.

On January 5, 2015, in connection with the offering and pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated December 19, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among WMIH, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) and KCM (KCM and Citi together, the “Initial Purchasers”), WMIH entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which WMIH has agreed that, subject to certain conditions, WMIH will use its reasonable efforts to (i) file a shelf registration statement covering resales of WMIH’s common stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock no later than six months after January 5, 2015 (the “Issue Date”); (ii) file a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Series B Preferred Stock no later than one year after the Issue Date; and (iii) cause each of these shelf registration statements to be declared effective under the Securities Act. On July 1, 2015, WMIH filed the Initial Registration Statement covering resales of Series B Preferred Stock and shares of WMIH’s common stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. On November 23, 2015, WMIH amended the Initial Registration Statement to cover WMIH’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of WMIH’s common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in connection with the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock currently outstanding. The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act on November 25, 2015.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, filed on Form 8-K on January 5, 2015, as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

On January 5, 2015, in connection with the offering and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WMIH entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which WMIH caused to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the amount of $598.5 million, representing the proceeds of the offering of Series B Preferred Stock less offering fees payable on the Issue Date but before payment of other offering fees and expenses (including fees contingent upon future events). These net proceeds have been, and will be, released from escrow from time to time to WMIH as instructed by WMIH in amounts necessary to (i) pay certain fees related to the offering that may become payable to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) finance WMIH’s efforts to explore and/or fund, in whole or in part, acquisitions, whether completed or not, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses related thereto, accounting expenses, due diligence and financial advisor fees and expenses, (iii) pay certain amounts that may become payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain put events, (iv) pay certain amounts that would become payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon a mandatory redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, and (v) pay certain expenses related to the offering. The entire net proceeds will be released from escrow as instructed by WMIH upon consummation of a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation). If a Qualified Acquisition is not consummated by January 5, 2018, and no Acquisitions (as defined in Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation) have been consummated such that all of the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding and has not been converted to WMIH’s common stock, the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock becomes redeemable. The aggregate redemption costs, assuming all 600,000 shares remain outstanding, of all of the Series B Preferred Stock is $600.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, whether or not declared. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance remaining in the escrow account totaled approximately $577.2 million and $572.9 million, respectively. The foregoing description of the Escrow Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, filed on Form 8-K on January 5, 2015, as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

If the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemed or determined likely to be redeemed, the Company would be required to record a charge to earnings of approximately $97.8 million to accrete the value of the Series B Preferred Stock to the $600 million redemption value. The Company continues to pursue its business strategy of consummating an acquisition, and to explore potential financing and refinancing alternatives, and as of September 30, 2017, the Company has determined that recording for accretion to the Series B Preferred Stock’s redemption value is not required.

21


The Series B Preferred Stock are hybrid financial instruments that blend characteristics of both equity and debt securities.  The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock provide for either redemption of the principal and interest for cash at maturity or in the event of certain predetermined circumstances (“Forward Component”) or mandatory conversion into WMIH’s common stock (“Embedded Conversion Feature” or “ECF”).  The Series B Preferred Stock also embody contingent equity-linked share price protections on the ECF in the form of a variable conversion price based on a 20 trading day average of volume weighted-average price.  Upon any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms, the Series B Preferred Stock shall convert based on the outstanding principal and accrued interest, subject to a floor of $1.75 per share of WMIH’s common stock and a maximum of $2.25 per share.  As a result, the Company determined that the Series B Preferred Stock contain certain embedded derivative features.  Management’s evaluation resulted in the conclusion that the compound derivative financial instrument required bifurcation and separately accounted for the embedded conversion feature option as a derivative.  A derivative liability results primarily when the Company average stock price (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) exceeds the conversion price, including the ceiling conversion price of $2.25, as defined by the Certificate of Incorporation. A derivative asset results primarily when the Company’s average stock price is less than the conversion price, including the floor price of $1.75. The aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion feature was a liability of $66.2 million on the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock.  At September 30, 2017, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was an asset of $111.9 million, a liability of $58.3 million and an asset of $80.7 million, respectively. Any change in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature will constitute other income or expense, as the case may be, in the applicable reporting period.  Upon conversion or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, any asset or liability related to the embedded conversion feature would be eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature changed by $201.5 million and this change is included as other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivative asset increased by $38.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively.   During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the fair value of the derivative liability increased by $16.2 million and decreased by $62.6 million, respectively.  The change in fair value is included as other income or expense, as the case may be, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the respective periods.

On June 1, 2017 and on June 1, 2016, WMIH issued restricted stock grants to members of the Board totaling $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of aggregate fair value.  The restricted shares noted above vest over a three-year period.

On May 15, 2015, WMIH issued restricted stock grants to our Chief Executive Officer, William C. Gallagher, and our Chief Operating Officer, Thomas L. Fairfield, in conjunction with employment agreements totaling $9.8 million of aggregate fair value (the “Exec Grants”) based on the $2.76 trading price of WMIH shares at the close of business on the date issued.  WMIH may be required to issue additional shares if the conversion price applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock is less than $2.25 per share. The Exec Grants will vest in full and will be recognized as compensation expense upon the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition, subject to the executives continued employment with the Company until such time. The foregoing description of the restricted stock agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement and the Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Executive Agreements”), which were filed as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, of Form 8-K12G3 filed on May 13, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference.  The fair market value of the Exec Grants as of September 30, 2017 approximates $4.3 million as a result of the terms of the Executive Agreements which would result in additional share issuances if the value is below $2.25 per share limited to a maximum of shares based on a minimum conversion price of $1.75 per share.  The stock price was $0.95 per share at the close of the market on September 30, 2017 and if the Exec Grants had vested then the minimum conversion price of $1.75 per share would have been utilized, therefore, a total of 1,015,874 additional shares (the “Exec Additional Shares”) would have been required to be issued, 507,937 additional shares each to both Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Fairfield.

22


The unamortized value related to the unvested restricted share grants totals $5.0 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The unamortized value of $5.0 million at September 30, 2017, if all are ultimately vested, would be amortized according to the following schedule.  The fair value of the Exec Grants will vest and be recognized on the date of the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition.  Additionally, any Exec Additional Shares required to be issued, would be issued and immediately vest on the date of the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition.

ContentsNote 11: Restriction on Distribution of Net Assets from Subsidiary

WMMRC has net assets totaling $17.7 million and $33.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These net assets are not immediately available for distribution to WMIH due to restrictions imposed by trust agreements, and the requirement that the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii must approve dividends from WMMRC. Prior to September 29, 2017, when the Second Lien Notes were fully redeemed by the Company and October 2, 2017 when the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged, distributions from WMMRC to WMIH were further restricted by the terms of the Runoff Notes and Indentures described in Note 7: Notes Payable.  As more fully described in Note 14: Subsequent Events, a distribution from WMMRC to WMIH of up to $10.7 million was approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii on September 13, 2017.

Note 12: Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

In calculating earnings per share, the Company follows the two-class method, which distinguishes between the classes of securities based on the proportionate participation rights of each security type in the Company's undistributed income. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are treated as one class for purposes of applying the two-class method, because they have substantially equal rights and share equally on an as converted basis with respect to income available to WMIH common stockholders.

Basic net income per WMIH share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to WMIH’s common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period after subtracting the weighted-average of any unvested restricted shares outstanding, as these shares are subject to repurchase.  Basic net income attributable to common stockholders is computed by deducting preferred dividends and the basic calculation of undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities from net income.

Diluted net income per WMIH share is computed by dividing net income attributable to WMIH’s common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding after subtracting the weighted-average of any incremental unvested restricted shares outstanding and adding any potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive common equivalent shares are comprised of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants for WMIH’s common stock and the potential conversion of preferred shares to common shares and the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock. Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders is computed by deducting preferred dividends and the diluted calculation of undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities from net income.

The dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and restricted stock subject to repurchase is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. There would be no dilutive effects from any equity instruments for periods presented reflecting a net loss, therefore diluted net loss per share would be the same as basic net loss for periods that reflect a net loss attributable to common stockholders. Certain unvested restricted shares and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share until the non-market based contingency occurs.

Note 13: Fair Value Measurement

We use a fair-value approach to value certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We use a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets;

Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market corroborated inputs; and

Level 3 — Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

On January 5, 2015, WMIH raised $600.0 million of capital (less transaction costs) through the issuance of 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The shares carry a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, equal to the purchase price, and a mandatory redemption right three years from issuance date at a price equal to the purchase price, plus accrued dividends at 3% per annum.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock are to be used to pursue strategic acquisitions. If one or more acquisitions are made on or prior to January 5, 2018 (or such later time as may be permitted pursuant to the terms governing the Series B Preferred Stock), then some or all of such Series B Preferred Stock shall be mandatorily converted into common stock of WMIH at a conversion price that is the lesser of:

i)

$2.25 per share of WMIH common stock; and

ii)

the arithmetic average of daily volume weighted-average prices of WMIH’s common stock during the 20 trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the public announcement by WMIH of its entry into a definitive agreement for such acquisition, subject to a floor of $1.75 per share of WMIH common stock.


The mandatory conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to fair value accounting and, in connection therewith, since the time of issuance, the Company has used a binomial lattice option model to determine fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock embedded conversion feature is revalued each balance sheet date utilizing the binomial lattice option model. The fair value computations are reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as unrealized gain or (loss) on change in fair value of derivative embedded conversion feature, respectively.

Such binomial lattice option model utilizes several inputs to determine such fair value. Such inputs include WMIH’s common stock price as of each reporting date, as well as variable assumptions including, but not limited to, volatility of our stock price, the risk free interest rate, the probability that the Company consummates a Qualified Acquisition and the time of completing any such Qualified Acquisition.

As of September 30, 2017 the following variable assumptions were included in the binomial option model: expected stock price volatility over the term of the convertible preferred securities was estimated at 60%, as compared to 40% as of December 31, 2016; the risk-free interest rate was estimated at 1.1% as compared to 0.6% as of December 31, 2016; the probability of the Company consummating a Qualified Acquisition was estimated at 50% as compared with 90% as of December 31, 2016; and the anticipated timing of the Company consummating a Qualified Acquisition was estimated at 6 months from both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The foregoing assumptions were adopted by the Company’s management in order to determine the market value of the embedded conversion feature applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock. Such assumptions necessarily involved and continue to involve the exercise of management’s judgement, as well as the judgement of the third party the Company uses in connection with the embedded derivative valuation process and for no other purpose. Such assumptions are monitored and adjusted from time to time.  As assumptions and circumstances change, results may differ and past assumptions and valuations are not indicative of future assumptions or results.

Our reported net income attributable to common and participating stockholders (“Year to Date Net Income” or “Year to Date Net Loss”) was approximately $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change to our net income attributable to common and participating stockholders resulting from the calculation of the fair value of the embedded conversion feature is analyzed at the end of each reporting period to assess the impact of a 10% change to the various inputs and the result of each change to Year to Date Net Income is highlighted in the following scenarios. If the closing stock price of our common stock had been 10% lower, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $17.7 million higher ($39.1 million). If the closing stock price of our common stock had been 10% higher, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $17.6 million less ($3.8 million). If our volatility assumption on September 30, 2017 had been 10% lower, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $3.0 million higher ($24.4 million). If our volatility assumption had been 10% higher, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $3.3 million less ($18.1 million). If our probability of a transaction occurring assumption on September 30, 2017 had been 10% lower, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $22.4 million less resulting in Year to Date Net Loss of $1.0 million. If our probability of a transaction occurring assumption had been 10% higher, our Year to Date Net Income would have been approximately $22.4 million higher ($43.8 million).

Note 14: Subsequent Events

On October 23, 2017, the reinsurance agreement with Radian was commuted and the related trust assets were released to WMMRC.  On September 13, 2017, the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii approved this commutation.

On September 13, 2017, the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii approved a transfer of up to $10.7 million from funds which were held in trust at WMMRC as of September 30, 2017.  As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, these funds have not been transferred to WMIH; however, they are no longer held in trust and are available for general corporate purposes.

On October 2, 2017, the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged. As a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the Second Lien Indenture the Collateral Account was subsequently closed and remaining funds transferred to cash and cash equivalents to be used for general corporate purposes.

Overview

We are made,a leading servicer and originator of residential mortgage loans. Our purpose is to keep the dream of homeownership alive, and we do not undertakethis as a servicer by helping mortgage borrowers manage what is typically their largest financial asset, and by helping our investors maximize the returns from their portfolios of residential mortgages. We have a track record of significant growth, having expanded our servicing portfolio from $10 billion in 2009 to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. Therefore, you should not rely on these statements being current$796 billion as of any timeMarch 31, 2022. We believe this track record reflects our strong operating capabilities, which include a low-cost servicing platform, strong loss mitigation skills, a commitment to compliance, a customer-centric culture, a demonstrated ability to retain customers, growing origination capabilities, and significant investment in technology.

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

Improve efficiency by driving continuous improvement in unit costs for Servicing and Originations segments, as well as by taking corporate actions to eliminate costs throughout the time at which this document was filedorganization;
Grow our servicing portfolio to $1 trillion in UPB by acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers;
Achieve a refinance recapture rate of 60%;
Delight our customers and keep Mr. Cooper a great place for our team members to work;
Reinvent the customer experience by acting as the customer’s advocate and by harnessing technology to deliver digital solutions that are personalized and friction-less;

OVERVIEW

Our Business Strategyother counterparties and Operating Environment

WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”) is a corporation duly organizedstrong reputation for compliance and existing under the lawscustomer service.


Impact of the State of Delaware.  On May 11, 2015, WMIH merged with its parent corporation, WMI Holdings Corp., a Washington corporation (“WMIHC”), with WMIH asCOVID-19 Pandemic

We implemented the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”).  The Merger occurred as partprovisions of the reincorporation of WMIHC from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware effective May 11, 2015 (the “Reincorporation Date”).

WMIH, formerly known as WMIHCCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”), is the direct parent of WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. (WMMRC”) and WMI Investment Corp. (WMIIC”)Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which has no assets or liabilities.  Since emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”),makes available forbearance plans for up to eighteen months for borrowers under government and government agency mortgage programs, which we have had limited operations other than WMMRC’s legacy reinsurance business, which is being operatedextended to borrowers in runoff mode. We continue to operate WMMRC’s business in runoff mode and our primary strategic objective is to consummate one or more acquisitions of an operating business, either through a merger, purchase, business combination or other form of acquisition, and grow our business.

We continue to seek, identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities of varying sizes across an array of industries for the purpose of facilitating an acquisition by WMIH of one or more operating businesses. Our management team meets regularly with our Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”), the Finance Committee of the Board (the “Finance Committee”) and the Corporate Strategy and Development Committee of the Board (the “CS&D Committee”), as the case may be, to discuss and evaluate potential acquisition targets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Finance Committee, the CS&D Committee and the Board of Directors met formally and informally numerous times to assess various opportunities. We have focused primarily on acquisition targets in the financial services industry, including targets with consumer finance, commercial finance, specialty finance, leasing and insurance operations. We also may review potential targets in other industries, such as information technology, industrials, business services, healthcare and other sectors.

29


On January 5, 2015, we announced that WMIH had completed an offering (the “Series B Preferred Stock Financing”) of 600,000 shares of its 3% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) in the amount of aggregate gross proceeds equal to $600 million. Net proceeds of $598.5 million were deposited into an escrow account and have been, and will be, released from escrow to us from time to time in amounts needed to finance our efforts to explore and fund, in whole or in part, certain acquisitions, whether completed or not, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, accounting expenses, due diligence and financial advisor fees and expenses. For further information on the Series B Preferred Stock Financing, see Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

WMIH continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities and work with our strategic partner, an affiliate of KKR & CO. L.P. (together with its affiliates, “KKR”), to identify, consider and evaluate potential mergers, acquisitions, business combinations and other strategic opportunities.private label mortgage servicing portfolio. As of September 30, 2017, and through the dateMarch 31, 2022, approximately 1.2% of the filingour customers were on a forbearance plan, down from a peak of this Form 10-Q, we had not entered into definitive documentation relating to an acquisition or consummated an acquisition. If we have not entered into definitive documentation relating to an Acquisition (as defined below), or consummated a Qualified Acquisition (as defined below), on or prior to January 5, 2018, we will be required to redeem all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock on January 5, 2018 (the “Series B Redemption Date”). A “Qualified Acquisition” means an Acquisition (as defined below) that, taken together, with prior Acquisitions (if any), collectively utilizes aggregate net proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock Financing of $450 million. “Acquisition” means any acquisition by the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries),7.2% in a single transaction or a series of transactions, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of, or equity interestsJuly 2020. More customers are now exiting forbearance than are entering. We include loans in or a business line, unit or division of, any person.

Assuming all 600,000 shares are outstanding on the Series B Redemption Date, the aggregate redemption cost will be $600.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, whether or not declared. If, prior to the Series B Redemption Date, we publicly announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement for an Acquisition, the Series B Redemption Date will be extended to the earlier to occur of (i) July 5, 2018, and (ii) the day immediately following (x) the date such definitive agreement is terminated or (y) the date such Acquisition is closed. The consummation of an Acquisition would result in the mandatory conversion of some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock in accordance with provisions set forth in Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation.

While we remain focused on identifying an Acquisition and executing definitive documentation relating to or consummating an Acquisition on or prior to the Series B Redemption Date we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so and, if so, on what terms. In the event we are required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, our available cash, absent a new financing, will be substantially depleted and our ability to (i) utilize our net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward, (ii) access significant alternative uses of capital and (iii) to continue business operations would likely be significantly and adversely impaired.

As previously disclosed, the Finance Committee is authorized, among other things, (i) to review the long-term financial structure, objectives and policies of the Company, and to make recommendations to the Board regarding such structure, objectives and policies, if appropriate, (ii) to evaluate the financing requirements of the Company and management’s proposed financing and refinancing plans and to recommend to the Board those actions, authorizations, filings and applications necessary and appropriate to enable management to execute such plans and (iii) to consider and make recommendations to the Board regarding the terms, timing, amount and other material factors (e.g., potential dilution of existing shareholders and the impact of any financing or restructuring on the Company’s tax attributes under Section 382 of the Code),forbearance related to the possible restructuring or amendmentCARES Act, whereby no payments have been received from borrowers for greater than 90 days, in loans subject to repurchase rights from Ginnie Mae in other assets and payables and other liabilities on a gross basis. The balance decreased to $1,003 as of the Company’s outstanding equity securities, issuanceMarch 31, 2022 from $1,301 as of new equity securities in one or more private or public transactions, redemption of outstanding securities, or other transactionsDecember 31, 2021. See liquidity discussion related to the Company’s outstanding securities, capital structureCOVID-19 pandemic in Liquidity and Capital Resources section in MD&A.


Anticipated Trends

In the first quarter of 2022, our servicing portfolio continued to grow due to strong execution across all channels, primarily through MSR acquisitions and subservicing. We expect to see continued portfolio growth in 2022, at a measured pace of acquisition for the remainder of the year. We completed servicing acquisitions of $81 billion in UPB in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, we expect the servicing segment to benefit from rising interest rates, including lower amortization expense and increased interest income, partially offset by increased interest expense.

28

Our Originations segment produced declining funding volumes as interest rates increased, with a channel mix shifting to direct-to-consumer in the first quarter of 2022. Although the direct-to-consumer channel continues to generate strong margins, we expect origination profit margins to compress quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter of 2022 and overall expect our margins to gradually decline towards the historical average as a result of continued pricing pressure and lower funding volumes.

In 2022, the inflation rate has continued to increase. Inflationary pressures may limit a borrower’s disposable income, which can decrease customers’ ability to enter mortgage transactions. Inflationary pressures, along with supply chain disruptions, may also increase our operation costs. However, we believe changes in interest rates historically have a greater impact on our financial results than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or fundraising to meet the Company’s future liquidity and capital resources needs, in each caseextent as the Finance Committee deems appropriate.

In connection with the foregoing, and as has previously been disclosed, the Finance Committee has retained financial advisors to help the Company assess its overall capital structure and liquidity requirements and to develop potential financing alternatives. As part of these efforts, as of the date of this report, the Finance Committee and its advisers are engaged in discussions relating to, among other things, a possible restructuring or amendment of the Series B Preferred Stock. We can provide no assurance we will be able to restructure, amend or refinance the Series B Preferred Stock and, if so, on what terms.

With respect to our current operations, the Company currently operates a single business through its subsidiary, WMMRC, whose sole activity is the reinsurance of mortgage insurance policies.  WMMRC has been operated in runoff mode since September 26, 2008. Since that date, WMMRC has not underwritten any new policies (and by extension any new risk). WMMRC, through predecessor companies, began reinsuring risks in 1997 and continued reinsuring risks through September 25, 2008.

30


All of WMMRC’s reinsurance agreements are on an excess of loss basis, except for a reinsurance treaty with Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation during 2008, which is reinsured on a 50% quota share basis. Pursuant to the excess of loss reinsurance treaties, WMMRC reinsures a second loss layer which ranges from 5% to 10% of the risk in force in excess of the primary mortgage insurer’s first loss percentages which range from 4% to 5%. Each calendar year, or book year, is treated separately from other years when calculating losses. In return for accepting a portion of the risk, WMMRC receives, net of ceding commission, a percentage of the premium that ranges from 25% to 40%.

WMMRC previously commuted three reinsurance agreements, one each, in 2009, 2012 and 2014, respectively, and the related trust assets were distributed in accordance with the commutation agreements.  On October 23, 2017, the reinsurance agreement with Radian was commuted and the related trust assets were released to WMMRC.  On September 13, 2017, the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii approved this commutation and a distribution of up to $10.7 million to WMIH. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, this distribution has not yet been completed.   For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also may seek opportunities to extract excess capital through commutation of one or more of WMMRC’s remaining reinsurance agreements or otherwise, with a view toward accelerating the distribution of trust assets in excess of the amounts needed to pay claims.

Beginning in 2006, the U.S. housing market and related credit markets experienced a multi-year downturn. During that period, housing prices declined materially, credit guidelines tightened, delays in mortgage servicing and foreclosure activities occurred, and deterioration in the credit performance of mortgage loans occurred. In addition, the macro-economic environment during that period demonstrated limited economic growth, stubbornly high unemployment, and limited median wage gains. Beginning in 2012, home prices began to rise again.  The current outlook for the housing market is optimistic with low interest rates, steady employment growth, increased household formation rates and less restrictive credit conditions. Nevertheless, WMMRC’s operating environment remains somewhat uncertain as much of its results over the next two years will be directly affected by the inventory of pending defaulted mortgages at its ceding companies arising primarily from mortgages originated in calendar years 2007 and 2008. However, its financial exposure to that environment has been materially reduced as the remaining net aggregate risk exposure has decreased due to the runoff nature of its operations.

Our Financial Information

The financial information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that the critical accounting policies set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements describe the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies pertain to premium revenues and risk transfer, valuation of investments, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, our values under fresh start accounting, the resulting loss contract reserve and the valuation of the derivative instrument relating to the embedded conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Recently issued accounting standards and their impact on the Company have been presented under “New Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Segments

The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating segment, mortgage reinsurance, in accordance with GAAP. Within the mortgage reinsurance segment, our current risks arise solely from the reinsurance of mortgage insurance policies that were placed on certain residential mortgage loans prior to the bankruptcy of WMI. The majority of these policies were required by mortgage lenders as a stipulation to approve the mortgage loans. The mortgage insurance policies protect the beneficiaries of the policy from all or a portion of default-related losses.

Overview of Revenues and Expenses

Because WMIH has no current significant operations of its own, its cash flow is derived almost entirely from earnings on its investment portfolio, and payments it receives from, and dividends paid by, WMMRC. All dividends received by WMIH from

31


WMMRC that constituted Runoff Proceeds, historically, were required to be distributed to holders of WMIH’s Second Lien Notes in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Indenture as described below in this Item 2 under “Notes Payable.”  As of September 29, 2017, the Second Lien Notes were fully redeemed by the Company and the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged, therefore future distributions from WMMRC to WMIH will be available for general corporate purposes. 

WMMRC’s revenues consist primarily of the following:

net premiums earned on reinsurance contracts;

inflation rate.

positive changes to (and corresponding releases from) loss reserves; and


net investment income and net gains (losses) on WMMRC’s investment portfolio.

WMMRC’s expenses consist primarily of the following:

underwriting expenses; and


general and administrative expenses.

During the three months and net operatingended March 31, 2022, income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and net operating losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are summarizedfrom continuing operations before income tax expense increased to $866 from $725 in the tables below under the Net Income (Loss) section.2021. The most significant variances between the comparative three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 include (i) increased revenue of approximately $1.0 million, (ii)increase was primarily driven by an increase in generaltotal other income (expenses), net and administrative expensefavorable mark-to-market adjustments. Total other income (expenses), net increased primarily due to completion of $0.8 million, (iii)the Sagent Transaction, which resulted in a minimal change$223 gain in interest expense of $0.1 million, (iv)2022. Meanwhile, the increase in favorable mark-to-market adjustments from our Servicing segment was offset by a net decrease in underwriting expense of $0.2 millionrevenues from our Originations segment due to lower origination volumes, both primarily driven by higher mortgage rates in 2022. See further discussions in Note 2, Dispositions, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and (v) a reductionthe Segment Results section of the loss contract reserve of $0.2 millionMD&A.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus a reductionMarch 31, 2022 was 24.0% as compared to 22.8% in 2021. The change in effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the impact of $0.5 million duringquarterly discrete tax items relative to income before taxes for the samerespective period, in 2016. including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and prior period tax credits.

Segment Results

Our operations are conducted through two segments: Servicing and Originations.

The loss contract reserve decrease, duringServicing segment performs operational activities on behalf of investors or owners of the threeunderlying mortgages, including collecting and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is attributed primarilydisbursing borrower payments, investor reporting, customer service, modifying loans where appropriate to changeshelp borrowers stay current, and when necessary performing collections, foreclosures, and the sale of REO.
The Originations segment originates residential mortgage loans through our direct-to-consumer channel, which provides refinance options for our existing customers, and through our correspondent channel, which purchases or originates loans from mortgage bankers.

Refer to Note 16, Segment Information, in the expected timing of assets being released from trust accounts held at WMMRC which are discounted to present value. When assets are expected to be released from trust earlier than anticipated, a smaller present value discount is appliedNotes to the loss contract reserve, thus reducingCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of segment results.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment’s strategy is to generate income by growing the reserve.  For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Eventsportfolio and maximizing the servicing margin. We believe several competitive strengths have been critical to our long-term growth as a servicer, including our low-cost platform, our skill in mitigating losses for investors, our commitment to strong customer service and regulatory compliance, our history of successfully boarding new loans, and the condensed consolidated financial statementsability to retain existing customers by offering attractive refinance options. We believe that our operational capabilities are reflected in Part I, Itemour strong servicer ratings.

Servicing Segment Revenues
The following provides the changes in revenues for the Servicing segment:

Servicing- Other ancillary revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease from early-buyout revenues associated with loans bought out of GNMA securitization, modified and redelivered following GNMA guidelines driven by a decrease in mortgage loans remaining in forbearance program in 2022, partially offset by an increase in base servicing fees primarily due to a greater servicing UPB portfolio in 2022.

MSR amortization decreased during the resultthree months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to lower prepayments driven by higher mortgage rates in 2022, partially offset by a higher average MSR UPB.

MSR MTM increased and excess spread and financing MTM decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in mortgage rates in 2022 compared to 2021.

32

Subservicing - There were no material changes for Subservicing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021.

Servicing Segment Expenses
Total expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily driven by a change in fair valueforeclosure and other liquidation related expenses (recoveries), net. We had foreclosure and other liquidation related recoveries, net in 2021 due to the release of an embedded derivative.  This embedded derivative was recordedloss reserves on servicing advances as a result of loan modification programs related to COVID-19 pandemic compared to foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses, net in 2022, partially offset by lower servicing support fees.

Servicing Segment Other Income (Expenses), net
Total other expenses, net decreased during the variable conversion featurethree months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to a decrease in other interest expense due to lower compensating interest expense and bank fees.

Delinquency is an assumption in determining the mark-to-market adjustment and is a key indicator of MSR portfolio performance. Delinquent loans contribute to lower MSR values due to higher costs to service and increased carrying costs of advances. Delinquency rates have continued to decrease as the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the macroeconomic environment declines. We do not anticipate a significant increase in foreclosures in excess of pre-pandemic levels due to the effectiveness of the forbearance programs in place and the historically high levels of equity that borrowers have accrued which provides borrowers with additional options.

(2)Workouts consist of other loss mitigation options designed to assist borrowers and keep them in their homes, but do not adjust the terms of the loan. Workouts exclude loans which did not miss a contractual payment during forbearance related to the CARES Act.

Total modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in modifications related to loans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total workouts during the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in customers who were exiting forbearance plans, as there were fewer customers in forbearance.

Excess Spread Financing

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

The servicing fees associated with an MSR can be segregated into (i) a base servicing fee and (ii) an excess servicing fee. The base servicing fee, along with ancillary income and other revenues, is designed to cover costs incurred to service the specified pool plus a reasonable margin. The remaining servicing fee is considered excess. We sell a percentage of the excess fee as a method for efficiently financing acquired MSRs and the purchase of loans. We do not currently utilize these transactions as a primary source of financing due to the availability of lower cost sources of funding.

Excess spread financings are recorded at fair value, and the impact of fair value adjustments varies primarily due to (i) prepayment speeds (ii) recapture rates and (iii) discount rates. See Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities and Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the range of assumptions and sensitivities related to the measurement of the excess spread financing liability as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Originations Segment

The strategy of our Originations segment is to originate or acquire new loans for the servicing portfolio at a more attractive cost than purchasing MSRs in bulk transactions and to retain our existing customers by providing them with attractive refinance options. The Originations segment plays a strategically important role because its profitability is typically counter cyclical to that of the Servicing segment. Furthermore, by originating or acquiring loans at a more attractive cost than would be the case in bulk MSR acquisitions, the Originations segment improves our overall profitability and cash flow. Our Originations segment is one way that we help underserved consumers access the financial markets. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, our total originations included loans for 8,728 customers with low FICOs (<660), 14,592 customers with income below the U.S. median household income, 7,312 first-time homebuyers, and 3,176 veterans. During this time period, we originated a total of 9,979 Ginnie Mae loans, which are designed for first-time homebuyers and low- and moderate-income borrowers, comprising $2.4 billion in total proceeds. Once these loans are originated, these underserved borrowers become our servicing customers.

The Originations segment includes two channels:

Our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) lending channel relies on our call centers, website and mobile apps, specially trained teams of licensed mortgage originators, predictive analytics and modeling utilizing proprietary data from our servicing portfolio to reach our existing customers who may benefit from a new mortgage. Depending on borrower eligibility, we will refinance existing loans into conventional, government or non-agency products. Through lead campaigns and direct marketing, the direct-to-consumer channel seeks to convert leads into loans in a cost-efficient manner.

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

Income before income tax expense item, “change in fair value of derivative - embedded conversion feature” which resulted in $38.6 million of other incomedecreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 as compared to other expense of $16.2 million2021 primarily due to a decrease in total revenues from net gain on loans originated and sold and a decrease in capitalized servicing rights. The Originations Margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This item is solely attributableMarch 31, 2022 increased as compared to 2021 primarily due to a changehigher ratio of revenue as a percentage of pull through adjusted lock volume driven by higher margins from a shift in fair valuechannel mix from correspondent to DTC, partially offset by higher expenses as a percentage of the derivative–embedded conversion feature and is a non-cash item. Fluctuations in the price of WMIH’s common stock directly impact the fair value of the derivative instrument. The fair value of this derivative instrument is analyzed each period and should not be relied upon to produce changes of this magnitude on an on-going basis as it could also result in a non-cash expense or benefit in future periods.  The fair value of the embedded conversion feature will become equity upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, or be reduced to zero upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be. For additional details on the derivative–embedded conversion feature, see Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments and Note 13: Fair Value Measurement to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to this change, several other items had a favorable impact on earningsfunded volume. DTC channel mix for the three months ended September 30, 2017, includingMarch 31, 2022 was 65% compared to 44% in 2021.

Originations Segment Revenues
Total revenues decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by a decline in net revenuesgain on loans originated and sold and a decrease in capitalized servicing rights. Revenues from net gain on loans originated and sold decreased in connection with lower favorable mark-to-market adjustments on loans derivatives and hedges, partially offset by a lower unfavorable mark-to-market on interest expense. Our revenues increasedrate locks and loan commitments and fair value adjustment on loans held for sale. Additionally, the decrease in capitalized servicing rights was primarily driven by lower origination volumes, partially offset by an increase in value of capitalized servicing retained on settlements due to higher mortgage rates in 2022. There were no material changes for repurchase reserves.

Originations Segment Expenses
Total expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased when compared to 2021 primarily due to improved earnings on our investment portfolio includinga decline in salaries, wages and benefits expense, and loan origination expenses. Salaries, wages and benefits expense declined in 2022 primarily due to decreased headcount in the restricted cash equivalents. Interest expense decreaseddirect-to-consumer channel as a result of lower origination volumes. Loan origination expenses declined in 2022 primarily due to cost reduction initiatives and decreased origination volumes.

Originations Segment Other Income (Expenses), Net
Interest income relates primarily to mortgage loans held for sale. Interest expense is associated with the reductionwarehouse facilities utilized to finance newly originated loans. The change in total other income (expense), net, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense driven by lower funded volume.

Corporate/Other

Corporate/Other represents unallocated overhead expenses, including the costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to our Runoff operating segments, and interest expense on our unsecured senior notes. In the third quarter of 2021, we began presenting the Xome financial results under Corporate/Other due to the sale of our Title, Valuation and Field Services businesses. Prior period amounts have been updated to reflect the change in segment presentation. Xome continues to operate its REO exchange business, which facilitates the sale of foreclosed properties. See Note balances discussed16, Segment Information, for further below.  details on the change in reportable segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We measure liquidity by unrestricted cash and availability of borrowings on our MSR facilities and other facilities. We held cash and cash equivalents on hand of $579 as of March 31, 2022 compared to operating income.  Underwriting expenses were lower on a comparative basis, primarily due to smaller increases in premium deficiency reserves in$895 as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022, we bought back 721 thousand shares of our outstanding common stock for a total cost of $35 as comparedpart of our stock repurchase program. We have sufficient borrowing capacity to increasessupport our operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we temporarily increased borrowing on our MSR facilities by $530 to fund MSR acquisitions. As of March 31, 2022, total borrowing capacity was $16,500, of which $11,695 was unused.

The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to result in premium deficiency reservesan increase in servicing advances and liquidity demands related to the utilization of forbearance programs offered by the CARES Act. Forbearance rates have declined since the peak during the second of quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2022, our total advance facility capacity was $1,175, of which $589 remained unused. For more information on our advance facilities, see Note 9, Indebtedness in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of funds for liquidity include: (i) servicing fees and ancillary revenues; (ii) advance and warehouse facilities, other secured borrowings and the unsecured senior notes; and (iii) payments received in connection with the sale of excess spread.

Our primary uses of funds for liquidity include: (i) funding of servicing advances; (ii) originations of loans; (iii) payment of interest expenses; (iv) payment of operating expenses; (v) repayment of borrowings and repurchases or redemptions of outstanding indebtedness; (vi) payments for acquisitions of MSRs; and (vii) payment of our technology expenses.

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

In addition, derivative instruments are used as part of the overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates related to originations. See Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which is incorporated herein for a summary of our derivative transactions.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”) determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which primarily consist of securitization trusts established for a limited purpose. Generally, these SPEs are formed for the purpose of securitization transactions in which we transfer assets to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets. In these securitization transactions, we typically receive cash and/or other interests in the SPE as proceeds for the transferred assets. See Note 10, Securitizations and Financings, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which is incorporated herein for a summary of our transactions with VIEs and unconsolidated balances, and details of their impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating activities
Our operating activities generated cash of $926 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as further described belowMarch 31, 2022 compared to cash used of $76 in this Item 2 of Part I, under “Losses or Benefits Incurred and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.”

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported net income2021. The change in cash attributable to common and participating stockholders of $21.4 millionoperating activities was primarily related to continuing operations, driven by $880 in cash generated from originations net sale activities in 2022 compared to net income attributable to common and participating stockholders$421 of $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This $26.4 million declinecash used in net income attributable to common and participating stockholders, when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, is primarily the result of the change in fair value of an embedded derivative. This embedded derivative was recorded2021, as a result of higher sales proceeds and loan payment proceeds from mortgage loans held for sale on lower volume of mortgage loans originated and purchased for sale, partially offset by the variable conversion featuredecrease in our Series B Preferred Stock and the changecash generated of $137 from working capital in fair value is reflected on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as the other income or expense item “change in fair value of derivative embedded conversion feature” which resulted in $31.2 million of other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022 compared to other income$371 in 2021.


Investing activities
Our investing activities used cash of $62.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This item is solely attributable to a change in fair value of the derivative embedded conversion feature, which is further described above. In addition to this change, the other large variance was the positive impact from the loss contract reserve decreasing by $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $2.3 million in the same period in 2016.

33


The total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to revenue of $1.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in revenue is attributable to improved earnings on our investment portfolio including the restricted cash equivalents, however, WMMRC continues to experience decreasing premium revenue due to operating in runoff mode. In addition, because WMMRC is operating in runoff mode, we expect premiums-earned revenue to continue to decrease, as no new business is being undertaken.

Underwriting expenses (defined as losses and loss adjustment expenses and ceding commission expenses) decreased by $0.2 million to a $0.1 million expense for$964 during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 compared to an expensecash used of $0.3 million$82 in 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to continuing operations, driven by $965 in cash used for the purchase of mortgage servicing rights in 2022 compared to $69 of cash used in 2021.


Financing activities
Our financing activities used cash of $294 during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Underwriting expenses decreased by $0.6 million to a $0.3 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 compared to an expensecash generated of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease$180 in 2021. The change in cash attributable to financing activities was primarily the result of the $0.5 million and $1.0 million additional premium deficiency reserves which were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to a minimal change and a $0.2 million increase in the premium deficiency reserve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  These changes in expense are related to the operationcontinuing operations, driven by a net repayment of WMMRC$204 in runoff mode and the corresponding decrease in revenues and the change in premium deficiency reserves as further described below in this Item 2 of Part I under “Losses or Benefits Incurred and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.” As more fully described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, due to the current condition of the mortgage insurance market, WMMRC has recorded reserves based on ceded case reserves and incurred but not recorded (“IBNR”) loss levels established and reported by the primary mortgage guaranty carriers as of each reporting period. Management believes that its estimate of aggregate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses as of September 30, 2017 represents its best estimate, based upon the available data, of the amount necessary to cover the current cost of losses.

As of September 30, 2017, the loss contract reserve was analyzed and determined to have a value of zero compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2016.  The value of the loss contract reserve decreased by $0.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and decreased by $0.5 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  Consequently, there was a related reduction of expenses due to the change in value of the loss contract reserve for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The loss contract reserve was established at a value of $63.1 million on March 19, 2012 as a result of our reorganization. The loss contract reserve decrease during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is attributed primarily to changes in the expected timing of assets being released from trust accounts held at WMMRC.  For more information see Note 14: Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.   

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our investment portfolio reported net investment income of $1.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, as2022 compared to net investment incomeborrowing of $0.5 million$608 in 2021 on our advance and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increasewarehouse facilities, partially offset by cash used of $35 to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock in investment income is primarily the result of higher short term interest rates during 20172022 compared to 2016. The components$148 in 2021.



Capital Resources

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

Financial Covenants
Our credit facilities contain various financial covenants, which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements. These covenants are measured at our operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our required financial covenants.

Seller/Servicer Financial Requirements
We are also subject to net worth, liquidity and capital ratio requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and Ginnie Mae for single family issuers, as summarized below. These requirements apply to our operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage, LLC.

42

Minimum Net Worth
FHFA - a net worth base of $2.5 plus 25 basis points of outstanding UPB for total loans serviced.
Ginnie Mae - a net worth equal to the base of $2.5 plus 35 basis points of the investment incomeissuer’s total single-family effective outstanding obligations.

Minimum Liquidity
FHFA - 3.5 basis points of total Agency Mortgage Servicing UPB plus incremental 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency, measured at 90+ delinquencies, servicing in excess of 6% total Agency servicing UPB.
Ginnie Mae - the greater of $1 or 10 basis points of our outstanding single-family MBS.

Minimum Capital Ratio
FHFA and Ginnie Mae - a ratio of Tangible Net Worth to Total Assets greater than 6%.

Secured Debt to Gross Tangible Asset Ratio
Ginnie Mae - a secured debt to gross tangible asset ratios no greater than 60%.

As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our seller/servicer financial requirements for FHFA and Ginnie Mae.

Since we have a Ginnie Mae single-family servicing portfolio that exceeds $75 billion in UPB, we are more fully described belowalso required to obtain an external primary servicer rating and issuer credit ratings from two different rating agencies and receive a minimum rating of a B or its equivalent. We are permitted to satisfy minimum liquidity requirements using a combination of AAA rated government securities that are marked to market in this Item 2addition to cash and certain cash equivalents.

In addition, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac may require capital ratios in excess of Part I, under “Net Investment Income.”

General and Administrative Expenses

Forstated requirements. Refer to Note 14, Capital Requirements, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 our general and administrative expenses totaled $2.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. General and administrative expenses primarily increased due to expenses related to assistance with transaction sourcing and debt and equity restructuring activities.

Interest Expense

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of interest expense on the Second Lien Notes which is further described below in this Item 2 of Part I, under “Notes Payable.” This compares to $0.6 million and $2.0 million of interest expense, all of which related to the Second Lien Notes, which was incurred during the threeCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Warehouse facilities principal amount3,419 4,125 
MSR facilities principal amount800 270 
Unsecured senior notes principal amount2,700 2,700 

Advance Facilities
As part of our normal course of business, we borrow money to fund servicing advances. Our servicing agreements require that we advance our own funds to meet contractual principal and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  The interest related to Second Lien Notes decreased primarily due to the reduction of Second Lien Note principal balances by $18.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017payments for certain investors, and by $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.  Because sufficient Runoff Proceeds have not always been available to pay accruedtaxes, insurance, foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. Delinquency rates and prepayment speeds affect the size of servicing advance balances, and we exercise our ability to stop advancing principal and interest onwhere the Runoff Notes,pooling and servicing agreements permit, where the advance is deemed to be non-recoverable from future proceeds. These servicing requirements affect our liquidity. We rely upon several counterparties to provide us with financing facilities to fund a portion of our obligationservicing advances. As of March 31, 2022, we had a total borrowing capacity of $1,175, of which we could borrow an additional $589.

Warehouse and MSR Facilities
Loan origination activities generally require short-term liquidity in excess of amounts generated by our operations. The loans we originate are financed through several warehouse lines on a short-term basis. We typically hold the loans for approximately 30 days and then sell or place the loans in government securitizations in order to repay the borrowings under the warehouse lines. Our ability to fund current operations depends upon our ability to secure these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms and to renew or replace the financings as they expire. As of March 31, 2022, we had a total borrowing capacity of $15,325 for warehouse and MSR facilities, of which we could borrow an additional $11,106.

Unsecured Senior Notes
In 2021, we completed an offering of an unsecured senior note with a maturity date of 2031. We pay interest onsemi-annually to the Runoff Notes has been satisfied using the “pay-in-kind” or “PIK” feature available under the Indentures. The accruedholders of these notes at interest is convertedrates ranging from 5.125% to PIK Notes at the next payment date if there is not sufficient cash available to satisfy the required interest payment. 6.000%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no PIK Notes were issued in satisfaction ofmore information regarding our obligation to pay interest on the Second Lien Notes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, $2.0 million and $2.0 million, of interest was paid in cash.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivative

The fair value of the derivative embedded conversion feature is revalued each reportable balance sheet date with the decrease or increase in fair value being reportedindebtedness, see Note 9, Indebtedness, in the consolidated statements of operations as unrealized gain or (loss) on change in fair value of derivative embedded conversion feature, respectively. The primary factors affecting the fair value of the embedded conversion feature are the probability of occurrence and timing of a Qualified Acquisition, our stock price and our stock price volatility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair value of the asset increased by $38.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively, and unrealized income was recorded.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the fair value of the liability increased by $16.2 million and decreased by $62.6 million, respectively, resulting in the recognition of a respective unrealized loss and gain.

Net Income (Loss)

The net operating (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled an operating loss of $0.3 million and operating income of $3.5 million, respectively, compared to net operating losses of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported net income attributable to common and participating stockholders of $33.9 million and $21.4 million, respectively.  This result compares to net loss attributable to common and participating stockholders of $21.1 million and net income attributable to common and participating stockholders $47.8 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, premiums earned totaled $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, when compared to premiums earned of $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company’s premiums earned are expected to continue to decrease due to WMMRC operating in runoff mode.

Losses or Benefits Incurred and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Losses incurred include losses paid and changes in loss reserves, including reserves for IBNR losses, premium deficiency reserves net of actual and estimated loss recoverable amounts. Details of net losses or benefits incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, are provided in the following table:

We establish reserves for each contract based on estimates of the ultimate cost of all losses including losses incurred but not reported. These estimated reserves are based on reports received from ceding companies, industry data and historical experience as well as our own actuarial estimates. Quarterly, we review these estimates on a contract by contract basis and adjust the estimates as we deem necessary based on updated information and our internal actuarial estimates.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the loss ratios were 14% and 19%, respectively, compared to loss ratios of 23% and 29%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The loss or benefit ratio is calculated by dividing incurred benefit or losses for the period by earned premiums. The ratio provides a measure of underwriting profit or loss. Loss reinsurance contracts (which represent the significant majority of our loss exposure) are generally structured with limits set on the aggregate amount of losses that can be incurred over the life of such contract. Upon reaching such limits, no additional losses may be realized under the terms of the contract. Nevertheless, even when applicable contract limits are reached, revenues from premiums collected continue to be ceded for the remaining life of the contract. Beginning in 2013, a majority of WMMRC’s reinsurance arrangements for the 2006 through 2008 book years reached their respective loss limits. As a result, WMMRC does not expect to incur any additional losses for those book years; however, WMMRC may continue to realize revenues from those book years, to the extent premiums are ceded therefrom.

The components of the liability for losses and loss adjustment reserves are as follows at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

Net Investment Income

The increase in investment income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 is primarily the result of higher short term interest rates during 2017 as compared to 2016.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has no current tax expense or liability due as a result of its tax loss position for periods ended September 30, 2017, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016. More detailed information regarding the Company’s tax position including NOL carry-forwards is provided in Note 6: Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and in Note 5: Income Taxesother subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified the following policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to fair value measurements, particularly those determined to be Level 3 as discussed in Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and valuation and realization of deferred tax assets. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of these critical accounting policies on our condensed consolidated financial statements, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in Part I, Item 1material differences in our results of this Quarterly Reportoperations or financial condition. Fair value measurements considered to be Level 3 representing estimated values based on Form 10-Q.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, WMMRC’s federal income tax liability is calculated on a separate return basis determined by applying 35% to taxable income, in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that apply to mortgage insurance companies. WMIH, as WMMRC’s parent, pays federal income taxes on behalf of WMMRC and settles the federal income tax obligation on a current basis in accordance with the tax sharing agreement. WMMRC made no tax payments to WMIH during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 associated with the Company’s tax liability from the current or preceding periods.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from temporary differences betweensignificant unobservable inputs primarily include (i) the valuation of assetsMSRs, (ii) the valuation of excess spread financing, and liabilities as determined for financial reporting purposes(iii) the valuation of IRLCs. For further information on our critical accounting policies and income tax purposes. Temporary differences principally relateestimates, please refer to discounting of loss reserves, recognition of unearned premiums, changes in value of loss contract reserves and embedded derivatives, net operating losses and unrealized gains and lossesthe Company’s Annual Reports on investments.

We believe WMIH experienced an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code in connection with its bankruptcy plan becoming effective. Prior to emergence from bankruptcy, WMI abandoned the stock of Washington Mutual Bank, thereby generating a worthless stock deduction of approximately $8.37 billion, which gave rise to a NOL carry-forwardForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that the total available2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and utilizable NOL carry-forward atestimates since December 31, 2016 was approximately $6.0 billion and at September 30, 2017 we believe that there was no limit under Section 382 of the Code on the use of these NOLs. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred federal income tax asset due to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to realize these benefits in the future.

On November 2, 2017, the Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a bill containing various amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, including, among other things changes to corporate income tax rates and certain provisions governing NOLs. There can be no assurance that the bill will be approved in its current form or at all and the final form of any tax legislation that is enacted could contain provisions that adversely affect the utility or potential value of the Company’s NOLs.

Investments

General

We hold investments at both WMIH and WMMRC and the two portfolios consist entirely of fixed income instruments, excluding funds in overnight money market funds, totaling $10.4 million and $76.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company held $577.2 million and $572.9 million of restricted cash from the Series B Preferred Stock Financing in its escrow account at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The value of the consolidated Company’s total cash and investments decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cash and investments, which excludes restricted cash of $577.2 million and $573.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, totaled $42.8 million and $81.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The primary factors that contributed to this decrease in investments were (i) the payment of a total of $13.5 million in Series B Preferred Stock cash dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2017; and (ii) the redemption in full of the $18.8 million of Second Lien Notes which were outstanding at December 31, 2016, and the payment of related interest of approximately $2.0 million.

We work with investment broker dealers and, in the case of WMMRC, collateral trustees, in determining whether a market for a financial instrument is active or inactive. We regularly obtain indicative pricing from market makers and from multiple dealers and compare the level of pricing variances as a way to observe market liquidity for certain investment securities. We also obtain trade history and live market quotations from publicly quoted sources, such as Bloomberg, for trade volume and frequency observation. While we obtain market pricing information from broker dealers, the ultimate fair value of our investments is based on portfolio statements provided by financial institutions that hold our accounts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, we transferred $0.9 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of corporate securities that mature within 12 months from Level 2 to Level 1, due to improved liquidity in capital markets for those securities. Please refer to Note 4: Investment Securities to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding our investment securities.

WMIH

WMIH’s investments are valued at fair value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  At September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, WMIH had zero and $45.0 million, respectively, of investments in obligations of U.S. government sponsored enterprises, all of which will mature within the respective next 12 months.  WMIH also had $25.0 million and $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

WMMRC

WMMRC’s investments are valued at fair value and any unrealized gains or losses are reflected in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2017, approximately 89% of WMMRC’s cash and investments were held in four trusts for the benefit of primary mortgage insurers with whom WMMRC established agreements to reinsure private mortgage insurance risk. The total portfolio, excluding funds in overnight money market instruments, was valued at approximately $10.4 million and $31.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, approximately 90% of the portfolio consisted of securities that will mature within the next 12 months and the remainder of the securities will mature between one and two years from September 30, 2017. WMMRC also had $7.3 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

WMIH is organized as a holding company and has limited operations of its own. With respect to its own operations, WMIH’s continuing cash needs are limited to the payment of general and administrative expenses, costs related to possible acquisitions, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and, prior to the redemption thereof, principal and interest payments on the Second Lien Notes described below in this Item 2 of Part I, under “Notes Payable.” As of September 29, 2017, the Second Lien Notes were fully redeemed by the Company and, as of October 2, 2017, the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged.

Our significant business operations are conducted through our wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, WMMRC, which formerly underwrote risks associated with our mortgage reinsurance programs, but has been operated in runoff and has not written any new business since September 26, 2008. There are restrictions on WMMRC’s ability to pay dividends which are described in more detail below. WMIH does not currently expect to pay dividends on its common shares.

WMMRC may seek opportunities to commute one or more of its remaining reinsurance agreements, with a view toward accelerating the distribution of trust assets in excess of the amount needed to pay claims.  Any such distributions would be available for general corporate purposes.  There can be no assurance that any such commutations will be consummated, or if so, on what terms.

In regard to the Series B Preferred Stock, we are required (if and when declared by our Board and until the Series B Preferred Stock is converted, redeemed or repurchased) to pay cumulative regular dividends out of funds legally available therefor at an annual rate of 3% per share of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. WMIH has declared and paid $13.5 million, $13.5 million and $18.0 million of dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and has accrued an additional $0.7 million of dividends based on the 3% interest rate during each of the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

The repayment of $18.8 million of Second Lien Notes and the $13.5 million in dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock were our largest uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Second Lien Notes have been paid in full, however, the dividend obligation is likely to continue to be a significant financial obligation of the Company until we either consummate a Qualified Acquisition or redeem or repurchase the Series B Preferred Stock.

Unless we consummate a Qualified Acquisition, or enter into a definitive agreement to consummate an Acquisition (or the Series B Redemption Date is extended in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock), we will be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock on the Series B Redemption Date. Consummation of an Acquisition would cause the conversion into common stock of shares of Series B Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the cash proceeds utilized in the Acquisition (unless the Acquisition is a Qualified Acquisition, in which case all of the Series B Preferred Stock would be converted into common stock). The redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock would substantially deplete our available cash for acquisitions and business operations; could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; and could adversely impact our ability to continue business operations. While we continue to work diligently to identify and consummate an Acquisition, there can be no assurance that we will consummate, or enter into a definitive agreement to consummate, an Acquisition prior to the Series B Redemption Date.

39


In connection with the foregoing, and because we are mindful of the adverse consequences that could result upon a redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, our Finance Committee and management have been working with financial advisors in an effort to amend and extend the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock. We can provide no assurance we will be able to restructure, amend or refinance the Series B Preferred Stock and, if so, on what terms. For additional information regarding the foregoing, please see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Our Business Strategy and Operating Environment”.

Liquidity Management

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the Company has the continuing ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis. The Company establishes and maintains liquidity guidelines for WMIH as well as for WMMRC, its principal operating subsidiary. Funds held by WMMRC are not available to WMIH to satisfy its liquidity needs. Any dividend or payment by WMMRC to WMIH must be approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii. In light of the restrictions on dividends2021.



Other Matters

Recent Accounting Developments

Below lists recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to WMMRC, WMIH’s principal sources of liquidity are its unrestricted investments, investment income derived from these investmentsus but not yet adopted.

Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 and fees paid to WMIH by WMMRC with respect to services provided pursuant to the two services agreements approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii. Additionally, WMIH also has approximately $577.2 million of restricted cash held in escrow, which was received by WMIH in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Financing. Because of the runoff nature of WMMRC’s business,2021-01, collectively implemented as discussed above, all cash available to WMMRC is primarily used to pay reinsurance losses and loss adjustment expenses, ceding commissions, dividends to WMIH to pay interest and principal obligations on the Runoff Notes (prior to the full redemption which occurred on September 29, 2017), and general and administrative expenses.

The Company monitors operating activities, forecasts liquidity needs and adjusts composition of investment securities in order to address liquidity needs. The Company currently has negative monthly cash flows primarily due to loss expenses at WMMRC, general and administrative costs and dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Company maintains a very high quality and short duration investment portfolio in order to match its liability profile at both levels of the consolidated organization.

WMMRC has net assets totaling $17.7 million and $33.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These net assets are not immediately available for distribution to WMIH due to restrictions imposed by the trust arrangements referenced above, and the requirement that the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii must approve dividends from WMMRC. Distributions from WMMRC to WMIH were, prior to full redemption on September 29, 2017, further restricted by the terms of the Runoff Notes described in Note 7: Notes Payable to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, as more fully described in Note 14: Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a distribution from WMMRC to WMIH of up to $10.7 million was approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii on September 13, 2017.

Capital Structure and Management

WMIH’s capital structure consists of stockholders’ equity, Series B Preferred Stock proceeds held in escrow which is classified as mezzanine and no term debt as of September 30, 2017.  We issued term debt of $130.0 million represented by the Runoff Notes on the Effective Date. The First Lien Notes were redeemed in their entirety on April 15, 2015 and the First Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged on April 27, 2015.  The Second Lien Notes were redeemed in their entirety on September 29, 2017 and the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged on October 2, 2017

On the Effective Date, all shares of common and preferred equity securities previously issued by WMI were cancelled and extinguished. Prior to reincorporation, WMIH was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.00001 per share.  Upon reincorporation in Delaware, which is more fully described in Note 1: The Company and its Subsidiaries to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and pursuant to WMIH’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), WMIH is authorized to issue up to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.00001 per share. As of September 30, 2017, 206,714,132 shares of WMIH’s common stock were issued and outstanding, and 1,600,000 shares of its preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

40


On January 30, 2014, pursuant to an Investment Agreement, WMIH issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for a purchase price of $11.1 million and warrants to purchase 61,400,000 shares of WMIH’s common stock, 30,700,000 of which have an exercise price of $1.32 per share and 30,700,000 of which have an exercise price of $1.43 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock has rights substantially similar to those associated with WMIH’s common stock, with the exception of a liquidation preference, conversion rights and customary anti-dilution protections. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $10.00 per one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares and (ii) the amount that the holder would be entitled to in a relevant transaction had the Series A Preferred Stock been converted to common stock of WMIH. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $1.10 per share into shares of common stock of WMIH, either at the option of the holder or automatically upon transfer by KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (“KKR Fund”) to a non-affiliated party. As a result of the calculation of a beneficial conversion feature as required by Accounting Standards Codification 470, a preferred deemed dividendTopic 848 (“ASC 848”), Reference Rate Reform provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedge accounting and other transactions affected by the transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of $9.5 millioncalculating LIBOR change from current methods for any reasons, interest rates on our floating rate loans, obligation derivatives, and other financial instruments tied to LIBOR rates, may be affected and need renegotiation with its lenders. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 was recordedissued to clarify that all derivatives instruments affected by changes to the interests’ rates used for discounting, margining alignment due to reference rate reform are in conjunction with the issuancescope of ASC 848. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were effective March 2020 and January 2021, respectively, for contract modifications, existing hedging relationships and other impacted transactions through December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have not elected to apply any of the Series amendments through March 31, 2022 and are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

On the Effective Date, WMI and WMIIC (together, the “Debtors”) (and now the WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”)servicer on behalf of the Debtors) continuedowner of a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans, usually through foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a defaulted loan. The servicer or a third-party real estate management firm is responsible for selling the REO. Net proceeds of the sale are returned to dispute whether the interestsowner of certain formerthe related loan or loans. In most cases, the sale of REO does not generate enough to pay off the balance of the loan underlying the REO, causing a loss to the owner of the related mortgage loan.


Recapture. Voluntarily prepaid loans that are expected to be refinanced by the related servicer.

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

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

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

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

(i) P&I Advances cover scheduled payments of principal and interest that have not been timely paid by borrowers. P&I Advances serve to facilitate the cash flows paid to holders of “Equity Interests”securities issued by the residential MBS trust. The servicer is not the insurer or “Claims” (in each case as those terms are definedguarantor of the MBS and thus has the right to cease the advancing of P&I, when the servicer deems the next advance nonrecoverable. 

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

(iii) Corporate Advances pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in foreclosing upon, preserving defaulted loans and selling REO, including attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with foreclosure and liquidation or other legal proceedings arising in the course of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 ofservicing the United States Bankruptcy Code (as modified, the “Plan”)) against the Debtors should be allowed. As a result, pursuantdefaulted mortgage loans. 

Servicing Advances are reimbursed to the Plan, on the Effective Date, a “Disputed Equity Escrow” (as defined in the Plan) was created for the benefit of each holder of a “Disputed Equity Interest” (as defined in the Plan). Such Disputed Equity Escrow was created to hold shares of WMIH’s common stock (as well as any dividends, gains or income attributable in respect of such common stock) allocable, on a pro rata basis, to each holder of such a Disputed Equity Interestservicer if and when such Disputed Equity Interest becomes an “Allowed Equity Interest” (as such termthe borrower makes a payment on the underlying mortgage loan at the time the loan is definedmodified or upon liquidation of the underlying mortgage loan but are primarily the responsibility of the investor/owner of the loan. The types of servicing advances that a servicer must make are set forth in its servicing agreement with the Plan). All such Equity Interestsowner of the mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. In some instances, a servicer is allowed to cease Servicing Advances, if those advances will constitute Disputed Equity Interests pursuantnot be recoverable from the property securing the loan.

47

Subservicing.  Subservicing is the process of outsourcing the duties of the primary servicer to a third-party servicer. The third-party servicer performs the servicing responsibilities for a fee and is typically not responsible for making servicing advances, which are subsequently reimbursed by the primary servicer. The primary servicer is contractually liable to the Plan until such time, or from time to time, as each Disputed Equity Interest has been compromised and settled or allowed or disallowed by a final orderowner of the bankruptcy court.

The liquidating trusteeloans for the activities of the Trust, William Kosturos (the “Liquidating Trustee”subservicer.


Unpaid Principal Balance (“UPB”), acts as escrow agent with respect to the Disputed Equity Escrow. As of December 31, 2016, 1,546,294 shares of WMIH’s common stock were held in the Disputed Equity Escrow.  Until such time as all of WMIH’s common stock has been distributed from the Disputed Equity Escrow in accordance with the Plan (e.g., as a result of all “Disputed Equity Claims” (as such term is defined in the Plan) becoming Allowed Equity Interests or all Disputed Equity Claims being disallowed), the Liquidating Trustee is vested with the authority to exercise voting or consent rights with respect to such stock; provided, however, that the Liquidating Trustee is obligated to vote or consent, as the case may be, as to such stock in the same proportion as all other holders of WMIH’s common stock have voted or consented, in each case on an issue-by-issue basis. .  The Trust has no right to or entitlement in any shares of WMIH’s common stock held in the Disputed Equity Escrow. Additionally, WMIH does not have any right to, or interest in, any shares of its common stock held by the Disputed Equity Escrow.

Notes Payable

On the Effective Date, WMIH issued $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior First Lien Notes due 2030 (the “First Lien Notes”) under an Indenture, dated asprincipal outstanding on a mortgage loan or a pool of March 19, 2012 (the “First Lien Indenture”), between WMIH and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. In addition, WMIH issued $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Second Lien Notes” and,mortgage loans. UPB is used together with the First Lien Notes,servicing fees and ancillary incomes as a means of estimating the “Runoff Notes”) under an Indenture, dated asfuture revenue stream for a servicer.

Warehouse Facility.  A type of line of credit facility used to temporarily finance mortgage loan originations to be sold in the “Indentures”), between WMIH and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as Trustee. On January 5, 2017, we were notified by The Law Debenture Company of New York that it had completedsecondary market. Pursuant to a warehouse facility, a loan originator typically agrees to transfer to a counterparty certain mortgage loans against the transfer of substantially all of its corporate trust businessfunds by the counterpart, with a simultaneous agreement by the counterpart to Delaware Trust Company, and that Delaware Trust Company had becometransfer the successor trustee under the Second Lien Indenture. The First Lien Notes were redeemed in their entirety on April 15, 2015, and the First Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged on April 27, 2015. The Second Lien Notes were redeemed in their entirety on September 29, 2017, and the Second Lien Indenture was satisfied and discharged on October 2, 2017.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

WMMRC has engaged a Hawaii-based service provider, Marsh Management Services Inc., to provide accounting and related management services for its operations. In exchange for performing these services, WMMRC pays such service provider a management fee.

On March 19, 2012, WMIH entered into an Investment Management Agreement with WMMRC. Under the terms of this agreement, WMIH receives a fee from WMMRC equalloans back to the productoriginator at a date certain, or on demand, against the transfer of (x) the ending dollar amount of assets under management during the calendar month in question and (y) .002 divided by 12. WMIH is responsible for investing the funds of WMMRC based on applicable investment criteria and subject to rules and regulations to which WMMRC is subject. The Investment Management Agreement has been approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii.

On March 19, 2012, WMIH entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with WMMRC. Under the terms of this agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee of $110 thousand per month. WMIH is responsible for providing administrative services to support, among other things, supervision, governance, financial administration and reporting, risk management and claims management as may be necessary, together with such other general or specific administrative services that may be reasonably required or requested by WMMRC in the ordinary course of its business. The Administrative Services Agreement has been approved by the Insurance Division of the State of Hawaii.

Total amounts incurred under the Investment Management Agreement and Administrative Services Agreement totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The expense and related income eliminate on consolidation.

On March 22, 2012, WMIH and the WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”). Pursuant to the TSA, the Trust makes available certain services and employees to the Company. The TSA provided the Company with office space (prior to the Company entering into its own lease) for its current employees and continues to provide basic infrastructure and support services to facilitate the Company’s operations. The TSA as amended, extends the term of the agreement through January 31, 2018, with automatic renewals thereafter for successive additional three-month terms, subject to non-renewal at the end of any additional term upon written notice by either party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the additional term.

In connection with implementing the Plan, certain holders of specified “Allowed Claims” had the right to elect to receive such holder’s “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment.” Essentially, the Plan defines the “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment” as a pro rata share of ten million (10,000,000) shares of WMIH’s common stock (i.e. five percent (5%)) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date. Holders exercising the foregoing election did so in lieu of receiving (i) 50% of such holder’s interest in and to certain litigation proceeds that could be realized by the Trust on account of certain claims and causes of action asserted by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan (“Litigation Proceeds”), and (ii) some or all of the Runoff Notes to which such holder may be entitled (if such holder elected to receive Runoff Notes in accordance with the terms of the Plan).

If a holder exercised the election described above and, as a result of such election, received shares of WMIH’s common stock, then such holder’s share of Runoff Notes to which the election was effective (i.e., One Dollar ($1.00) of original principal amount of Runoff Notes for each share of WMIH’s common stock) were not issued. In addition, as a result of making the aforementioned election, such holders conveyed to WMIH, and WMIH retained an economic interest in Litigation Proceeds, if any, recovered by the Trust in connection with certain litigation brought by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan. Distributions, if any, to WMIH on account of the foregoing will be effected in accordance with the Plan and the court order confirming the Plan.

On or about October 14, 2014, the Trust filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington against 16 former directors and officers of WMI (the “D&O Litigation”). The Trust’s complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants named therein breached their fiduciary duties to WMI and committed corporate waste and fraud by squandering WMI’s financial resources.  In connection with the settlement of the D&O Litigation, during the year ended December 31, 2015, among the Trust, certain former directors and officers of WMI and certain insurance carriers that underwrote director and officer liability insurance policies for the benefit of WMI and its affiliates (including such former directors and officers), such insurance carriers agreed to pay the Trust $37.0 million, of which $3.0 million was placed into a segregated reserve account (the “RSA Reserve”) to be administered by a third party pursuant to the terms of a Reserve Settlement Agreement (the “RSA”).

During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, WMIH had other income of $123 thousand and $7.8 million, respectively, as a result of its receipt of its share of net Litigation Proceeds related to the D&O Litigation.  As of September 30, 2017, $1.5 million remained in the RSA Reserve.  Under the RSA, funds are released from the RSA Reserve to the Trust if and when certain designated conditions are satisfied.  If and when these funds are released to the Trust, and to the extent WMIH is entitled to receive such funds in accordance with the Plan, it is anticipated the Trust will make payments to WMIH in an amount equal to WMIH’s shareoriginator.


48

Table of Litigation Proceeds as provided under the Plan.  Due to the contingent nature of future distributions from the RSA Reserve, there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions from the remaining balance in the RSA Reserve in the future.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, WMIH has recorded income from Litigation Proceeds of $123 thousand.  As of September 30, 2017, WMIH had not received any Litigation Proceeds, other than as described above.

As a member of the Litigation Subcommittee of the Trust, Mr. Willingham, who serves as a WMIH Board member and Chairman of the WMIH Audit Committee, participates in overseeing the prosecution of recovery claims by the Trust.

As a result of the Company’s reorganization in bankruptcy, an intangible asset was identified related to reinsurance contracts which were held by WMMRC. The contracts were evaluated to determine whether the value attributable to such contracts was either above market or in a loss contract position. After taking such evaluation into consideration, a loss contract reserve totaling $63.1 million was recorded on the Effective Date. The reserve will be evaluated at each reporting date for changes to its value. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the loss contract reserve was analyzed and determined to have a value of zero and $5.6 million, respectively.  The value of this reserve decreased by $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and decreased by $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The value of this reserve has been reduced to zero, primarily due to the extraction of cash proceeds from WMMRC occurring earlier than initially projected and the elimination of the higher cost of capital associated with the Runoff Notes which have now been paid in their entirety. For additional information see Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ContentsAs of January 30, 2014, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, WMIH sold to KKR Fund 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, having the terms, rights, obligations and preferences contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, for a purchase price equal to $11.1 million and issued to KKR Fund warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 61.4 million shares of WMIH’s common stock, 30.7 million of which have an exercise price of $1.32 per share and 30.7 million of which have an exercise price of $1.43 per share (together, the “Warrants”). KKR Fund’s rights as a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, and the rights of any subsequent holder that is an affiliate of KKR Fund (together with KKR Fund, the “Holders”) are governed by the Investor Rights Agreement. The Investor Rights Agreement provides the Holders with registration rights, including three long form demand registration rights, unlimited short form demand registration rights and customary piggyback registration rights with respect to WMIH’s common stock (and WMIH’s common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants), subject to certain minimum thresholds, customary blackout periods and lockups of 180 days. On July 1, 2015, WMIH filed a shelf registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering resales of Series B Preferred Stock and WMIH’s common stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.  On November 23, 2015, WMIH amended the Initial Registration Statement to cover WMIH’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and shares of WMIH’s common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in connection with the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock currently outstanding (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act on November 25, 2015. Moreover, for as long as the Holders beneficially own any shares of common stock of WMIH or Series A Preferred Stock or any of the Warrants, WMIH has agreed to provide customary Rule 144A information rights, to provide the Holders with regular audited and unaudited financial statements and to allow the Holders or their representatives to inspect WMIH’s books and records. For further information on the Investment Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, see Note 8: Financing Arrangements and Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In conjunction with the Series B Preferred Stock Financing, the Company is contractually committed to make certain fee payments if future events occur.  These fees are recorded and presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as other liabilities. At September 30, 2017, the total balance of $13.8 million of other liabilities is comprised of $12.3 million of accrued fees relating to the Series B Preferred Stock Financing, an accrual for professional fees currently payable of approximately $0.8 million, $0.7 million of accrued dividends relating to the Series B Preferred Stock and several small accruals for recurring business expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are principally exposed


Refer to three typesthe discussion included in Part II, Item 7A of market risk:

interest rate risk;

credit risk; and

liquidity risk.

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2021. There have been no material changes in the types of market risks faced by us since December 31, 2021. Our market risks include the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic’s effect on the macroeconomic environment has yet to be fully determined and could continue for months or years, the pandemic and governmental programs created as a response to the pandemic, has affected and will continue to affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

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

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

We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on MSRs. The discounted cash flow model incorporates prepayment speeds, discount rate, costs to service, delinquencies, ancillary revenues, recapture rates and other assumptions that management believes are consistent with the assumptions that other similar market participants use in valuing the MSRs. The key assumptions to determine fair value include prepayment speed, discount rate and cost to service. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between MBS, swaps and U.S. Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. For mortgage loans, IRLCs and forward delivery commitments on MBS, we rely on a model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. In addition, the primary assumption used for IRLCs, is the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment.

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

We used March 31, 2022 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of March 31, 2022 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.
