Forward-Looking Statements

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.

Note 1: The Company has provided a glossary of terms, which defines certain industry-specific and its Subsidiaries

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, 2022.


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 and that all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature and necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods have been included. Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share data and other key metrics, unless otherwise noted.

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 flowsprocedures of the entity and owns less than 50% of the voting interests. These investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently adjusted for the periods presentedCompany’s proportionate share of earnings and losses in accordance with GAAP. the investee. Investments in certain companies over which the Company does not exert significant influence are recorded at fair value, or at cost and updated for observable price changes upon election of measurement alternative, at the end of each reporting period. Intercompany balances and transactions on consolidated entities have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicativepreparation of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparing 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 amountsin 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, macro-economic uncertainty, changes in interest rates, secondary market pricing for loans held for sale and derivatives, strength of underwriting and servicing practices, changes in prepayment assumptions, declines in home prices or discrete events adversely affecting specific borrowers and such differences could be material.


Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2022 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to 2023 presentation. Such reclassifications were not material and did not affect total revenues or net income.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted
The Company did not adopt any accounting guidance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

2. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Assets
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Rushmore Loan Management Services, LLC (“Rushmore”) for a total purchase price of $34 (the “Rushmore Transaction”). Assets acquired were recorded in the Servicing segment and primarily included subservicing contracts and related servicing advances and receivables. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), whereby the purchase price represents relative fair value of assets and liabilities acquired.

Acquisition of Roosevelt Management Company and disclosureAffiliated Companies
In July 2023, the Company acquired all the equity interests of contingentRoosevelt Management Company, LLC (“Roosevelt”), an investment management firm, and its affiliated subsidiaries including Rushmore Loan Management Services, LLC and other entities, for a total purchase price of $28 (“Roosevelt Transaction”). The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase price over those fair values allocated to goodwill. The Company recorded $4 of intangible assets and $21 of goodwill based on preliminary purchase price allocation. $5 and $16 of the goodwill is assigned to Servicing segment and Corporate/Other segment, respectively. The goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $8 of acquisition costs related to the Roosevelt Transaction. The financial results of Rushmore and Roosevelt were included in Servicing segment and Corporate/Other segment, respectively.

Acquisition of Home Point Capital Inc.
In May 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and a mortgage servicing rights purchase and sale agreement with Home Point Capital Inc.(“Home Point”), a Delaware corporation. Per the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Point, other than certain excluded shares. The Home Point transaction closed in the third quarter of 2023 for total consideration of approximately $658. The transaction was executed in two steps. The first step was a bulk purchase of a portion of Home Point’s mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) portfolio for $335. The second step of the transaction was the tender offer to acquire outstanding shares of common stock of Home Point, which included the benefit of the cash paid in the bulk purchase of Home Point’s MSR portfolio. The net consideration paid for the two steps of the transaction was $323, or $2.33 per share.

The Company accounted for the combined transaction as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired $1.2 billion MSR and assumed a senior note with a principal balance of $500, among other acquired net assets. The Company recorded a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $96 in “other income (expense), net” within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and reported under Corporate/Other segment, which represents the excess of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired over the consideration transferred. The Company believes it was able to negotiate a bargain purchase price due to seller’s operational challenges from significant market volatility, as well as the seller’s desire to exit the business in an expedited manner. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $5 of acquisition costs related to the Home Point transaction.


3. Dispositions

Sale of Mortgage Servicing Platform
On March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities atof 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 datesale of certain tangible personal property of the financial statements. Management has made significant estimatesCompany used in certain areas, including valuing certain financial instruments, otherthe 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 (expense), net” within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and recorded $4 transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. No transaction costs were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The net carrying amount of assets and liabilities transferred in connection with the Sagent Transaction was $31 and reported under Corporate/Other.

9

Table of Contents
The Company accounts 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. The Company recorded a loss of $4 and $15 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the Company's proportionate share of net loss of Sagent. The Company recorded a $5 loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the Company's proportionate share of net loss of Sagent. The Company’s investment in Sagent was $222 as of September 30, 2023.


4. Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities

The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Company’s MSR and the related liabilities. In estimating the fair value of all mortgage servicing rights and related liabilities, the impact of the current environment was considered in the determination of key assumptions.

unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of MSRs, of which $22,640 and $19,692 were retained by the Company as subservicer, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, certain agencies entered into agreements with the Company to purchase excess servicing cash flows (“excess yield”) on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $41,958 for total proceeds of $294. The Company recorded a gain of $33 through the mark-to-market adjustments within “revenues - service related, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
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 Home Loan Mortgage Corp (“Freddie Mac” or “FHLMC”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or “FNMA”), 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 14, 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 a financial instrument or other asset is dependent uponMSRs.

(1)Beginning in the marketplace or whose values are basedsecond quarter of 2023, the Company valued MSRs using a stochastic option adjusted spread (“OAS”) instead of a static discount rate. Refer to Note 14, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on readily available marketfair value data, little judgmentof 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 variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is necessary when estimating the instrument’s fair value. When observable market prices and data are not readily available, significant management judgment often is necessary to estimate fair value.calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In those cases, different assumptions could result in significantreality, changes in valuation.

(1)Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company valued excess spread financing using a stochastic OAS instead of a static discount rate. Refer toNote 14, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The carryingeffect on fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair valuesan adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because of their short-term nature.

The carrying valuethe relationship of the loss contract reserve approximates itschange in assumptions to the fair value andmay not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is based on valuation methodologies using discounted cash flows at interest ratescalculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which approximatecould impact the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital.

Also, a positive change in the above assumptions would not necessarily correlate with the corresponding decrease in the net carrying valueamount of the derivative embedded conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock is adjusted to itsexcess spread financing. Excess spread financing’s cash flow assumptions that are utilized in determining 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 estimates 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 berelated cash flow assumptions used in the valuations when available. The disclosure offinanced MSRs. Any fair value estimateschange recognized in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is basedfinanced MSRs attributable to related cash flows assumptions would inherently have an inverse impact on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the levelcarrying amount 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:

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.

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.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing - Fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets when available (Level 1). Value
The Company receives the quoted prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service. When quoted prices are not available, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine an estimatehad MSR financing liability of fair value. The fair value is generally estimated using current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms$21 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 estimated 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 method 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$19 as of September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively.

Refer to Note 14, Fair Value Measurements, for key weighted-average inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of the MSR financing liability.

(1)The Company recognizes premium deficiencies when there is a probable lossrevenue on an insurance contract. Premium deficiencies are recognized ifearned basis for services performed. Amounts include subservicing related revenues. Amounts also include servicing fees from loans sold with servicing retained of $175 and $172 for 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 ofthree months ended September 30, 20172023 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 basis2022, respectively, and includes all book years$528 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.

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 date and recorded 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 Stockholders 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$488 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2022, respectively.

Credit Loss for Advances and Other Receivables
As of September 30, 20172023, the total current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve was $36, of which $29 and December 31, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements

$7 were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the total CECL reserve was $34, of which $27 and $7 were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively. There were no material changes to CECL reserves during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.


The Company determined that the credit-related risk associated with applicable financial instruments typically increases 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.

(1)Non-accrual UPB includes $32 and $90 of UPB related 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.

7. Loans Subject to Repurchase from Ginnie Mae

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 economically hedges the pipeline separately from the MSR portfolio primarily using third-party derivative instruments. Such derivative instruments utilized by the Company include IRLCs, LPCs, forward MBS and Treasury futures. The changes in value on the derivative instruments associated with pipeline hedging are recorded in earnings as a component of “revenues - net gain on mortgage loans held for sale” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, while changes in the value of derivative instruments associated with the MSR portfolio fair value are recorded in “revenues - service related, net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in “(gain) loss adjustment reserve activityon MSR hedging activities” on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

11. 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.

A summary of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s transactions with VIEs included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets is presented below:

12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and any dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are share-based awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding share-based awards. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 10 million preferred shares authorized at par value of $0.00001 per share, with zero shares issued and $11.0 million, respectively,outstanding and aggregate liquidation preference of investments were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 as a resultzero dollars.

13. Income Taxes

For


The effective tax rate for operations was 21.7% and 22.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net income attributable to common2023, and participating stockholders of approximately $21.4 million. The Company projects tax losses26.4% and 24.7% for the year ending December 31, 2017.  Due to this projected tax lossthree 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, 2017.2022, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible executive compensation.

The change in effective rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to income before taxes for the respective period, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.


14. Fair Value Measurements

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

There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Company recorded no income tax expense or benefitin estimating fair values of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to tax losses in that period.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – Fair Value (Level 3) The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, WMMRC’s federal income tax liability is calculatedestimates the fair value of its MSRs on a separate returnrecurring basis determined by applying 35%using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to taxable income,arrive at an estimate of fair value. Beginning in accordancethe second quarter of 2023, the Company valued MSRs using a stochastic option adjusted spread (OAS) instead of a static discount rate. OAS is the incremental spread added to the risk-free rate to reflect embedded (prepayment) optionality and other risk inherent in the MSRs to discount cash flows. The cash flow assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model incorporate prepayment speeds, OAS, costs to service, delinquencies, ancillary revenues, recapture rates and other assumptions, with the provisionskey assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, OAS, and cost to service. The cash flow assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by the Company and can have a significant impact on the fair value of the Internal Revenue CodeMSRs. Quarterly, management obtains third-party valuations to assess the reasonableness of 1986,the fair value calculations provided by the internal cash flow model. Because of the nature of the valuation inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as amended (the “Code”)Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. See Note 4, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities, that apply to property and casualty insurance companies. WMIH, as WMMRC’s parent, pays federal income taxes on behalf of WMMRC and settles the federal income tax obligationfor more information.

Excess Spread Financing (Level 3) – The Company estimates fair value on a currentrecurring basis in accordancebased on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the tax sharing agreement. WMMRCdiscount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company valued excess spread financing using a stochastic OAS instead of a static discount rate. The cash flow assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds and OAS. Quarterly, management obtains a third-party valuation to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculations provided by the internal cash flow model. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. Excess spread financing is recorded in MSR related liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

15. Capital Requirements

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and certain private label mortgage investors require the Company to maintain minimum net worth (“capital”) requirements, as specified in the respective selling and servicing agreements. In addition, these investors may require capital ratios in excess of the stated requirements to approve large servicing transfers. To the extent that these requirements are not met, the Company’s secondary market investors may utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or ultimately termination of the year ended December 31, 2016 associatedCompany’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 primary operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC, as well as Rushmore Loan Management Services, LLC, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2023 in connection with the Company’s tax liability from the preceding year.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from temporary differences between the valuation of assets and liabilities as determined for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. Temporary differences principally relate to discounting of loss reserves, accruals, derivate instruments, net operating losses and unrealized gains and losses on investments.Roosevelt Transaction. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2023, the Company recordedwas in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory
The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely and currently involved in a valuation allowance equalnumber of legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, 100%judicial, arbitration, regulatory and governmental proceedings related to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of the net deferred federal income tax asset dueCompany’s business. While it is not possible to uncertainty regardingpredict the Company’s ability to realizeoutcome of any of these benefits 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 382 of the Code (“Section 382”), andmatters, based on the Company’s analysis,assessment of the facts and circumstances, it does not believe any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.


The Company will continue to monitor legal matters for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Legal-related expenses 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. The Company recorded legal-related expenses, net of recoveries, which includes legal settlements and fees paid to external legal service providers, of $8 and $29 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $7 and $15 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which are included in “expenses - general and administrative” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is $2 to $3 in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters as of September 30, 2023. 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.

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. As of September 30, 2023, 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.

As a seller of mortgage loans to Agencies and other third parties, the Company may be required to indemnify or repurchase mortgage loans that fail to meet certain customary representations and warranties made in conjunction with sales of mortgage loans. The repurchase reserve liability related to such customary representations and warranties was $81 and $22 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are included in “payables and other liabilities” within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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


17. Segment Information

The Company’s segments reflect the internal reporting the chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate operating performance and are based upon the Company’s organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the services offered. A brief description of our current business segments is as follows:

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company collapsed a securitization with a bond balance of $82, secured by mortgage loans with an approximate UPB of $207. The loans were sold to a third party. A net gain on sale of $67 was recorded on the transaction, which was included in “gain on mortgage loans held for sale”, within the condensed statements of operations and reported under Servicing.
27

Table of Contents

Originations: This 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.

Corporate/Other: Functional expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the actual cost of services performed, direct resource utilization, or headcount percentage for shared services. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company began allocating shared services based on headcount instead of an estimate of percentage use as it changed its segment measures provided to and used by the chief operating decision maker. As a result, all costs for shared services are allocated to individual segments based on headcount. The Company recast segment information for the historical periods presented herein to reflect the allocation method change and to conform to the current presentation. The change affects total expenses for Servicing and Originations segments and Corporate/Other, but had no effect on condensed consolidated statements of operations. Non-allocated corporate expenses include the administrative costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to the Company’s operating segments. Revenues generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties. Eliminations are included in Corporate/Other, including the eliminations related to intersegment hedge fair value changes.

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. 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:

macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions;
changes in prevailing interest rates and/or changes in home prices;
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;
disruptions in the secondary home loans market;
our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives and hedging strategies;
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;
third-party credit, servicer and correspondent risks;
our ability to pay down debt;
our ability to manage legal and regulatory examinations and enforcement investigations and proceedings, compliance requirements and related costs;
health pandemics, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural catastrophic events;
our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; and
our ability to maintain our various 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.

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.

Shares subject to repurchase totaled 4,053,640 on September 30, 2017 and 4,039,591 on December 31, 2016. The Exec Grants vest upon future events, and are not time specific, and for this reason we have used 1st quarter 2018 as the vesting date in the following table as this date corresponds with the Series B Preferred Stock potential redemption date.  The shares subject to repurchase at September 30, 2017 will vest, assuming circumstances remain unchanged, according to the following schedule:

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 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$937 billion as of any timeSeptember 30, 2023. 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:

Strengthen our balance sheet by building capital and liquidity, and managing interest rate and other thanforms of risk;
Improve efficiency by driving continuous improvement in unit costs for our Servicing and Originations segments, as well as by taking corporate actions to eliminate costs throughout the time at which this document was filed withorganization;
Grow our servicing portfolio to $1 trillion in UPB by acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers;
Achieve and sustain a refinance recapture rate of 60%;
Delight our customers and keep Mr. Cooper a great place for our team members to work;
Reinvent the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

Our Business Strategy and Operating Environment

WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”) is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  On May 11, 2015, WMIH merged with its parent corporation, WMI Holdings Corp., a Washington corporation (“WMIHC”), with WMIHcustomer experience by acting as the surviving corporationcustomer’s advocate and by harnessing technology to deliver digital solutions that are personalized and friction-less;

Sustain the talent of our people and the culture of our organization; and
Maintain strong relationships with agencies, investors, regulators, and other counterparties and a strong reputation for compliance and customer service.

Anticipated Trends

In the third quarter of 2023, our Servicing segment generated income before income tax expense of $361, and our servicing portfolio grew to $937 billion, bringing us very close to our $1 trillion UPB target. We anticipate achieving this target early next year, as we expect MSR bulk purchases and boarding of subservicing customers in the merger (the “Merger”).  The Merger occurred as partfourth quarter 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 WMIHC2023 and Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”), is the direct parent of WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. (WMMRC”) and WMI Investment Corp. (WMIIC”), which has no assets or liabilities.  Since emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), we have had limited operations other than WMMRC’s legacy reinsurance business, which is being operated in runoff mode.early 2024. We continue to operate WMMRC’s business in runoff modeexpect a favorable market for acquisitions and bulk purchases due to macro-economic conditions. Overall, we expect our primary strategic objective isServicing segment to consummate one or morecontinue generating strong earnings over time as our servicing portfolio grows with acquisitions and bulk purchases.


In the third quarter of an operating business, either through a merger, purchase, business combination or other form2023, our Originations segment generated income before income tax expense of acquisition, and grow our business.

We continue to seek, identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities$29 on funded volume of varying sizes across an array of industries for$3,412. With mortgage rates above 7% at 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 Committeeend of the Board (the “Finance Committee”)third quarter of 2023, and considering the seasonality of Originations, which is weakest during the fourth quarter due to the day count shortened by the holidays, we expect the Originations segment to operate at lower levels of profitability in the fourth quarter of 2023 and early next year.


31

While the recent inflation rate increase appears to have subsided, the inflation rate remains relatively high. Inflationary pressures may limit a borrower’s disposable income, which can decrease a borrowers’ ability to enter into mortgage transactions. Inflationary pressures may also increase our operating costs. However, historically changes in interest rates have a greater impact on our financial results than changes in inflation. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or extent as the inflation rate.

(1)Revenues - operational consists of total revenues, excluding mark-to-market.

Income before income tax expense increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in total revenues and the Corporate Strategychange in total other income (expense), net. Revenues increased in 2023 primarily due to an increase in operational revenues in our Servicing segment largely driven by bulk MSR purchases and Development Committeeacquisitions in 2023, and a gain from the sale of loans that were acquired in connection with the collapse of a securitization trust due to over-collateralization. The change in other income (expense), net in 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $96 recorded in 2023 upon completion of the Board (the “CS&D Committee”), as the case may be,Home Point Transaction, partially offset by a loss of $35 related to discuss and evaluate potential acquisition targets. Duringfair value changes in certain equity investments.

Income before tax expense decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to a decrease in total revenues, partially offset by lower total expenses. The decrease in revenue in 2023 was primarily attributable to lower favorable MTM adjustment as the increase in mortgage rates was greater in 2022 compared to 2023. The MTM adjustment was partially offset by the increase in operational revenue in our Servicing segment driven by a larger servicing UPB portfolio in 2023, partially offset by decreased origination revenues due to lower origination volumes. The decrease in total expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by lower salaries, wages and benefits in our Originations segment due to lower headcount in both the direct-to-consumer and correspondent channels as a result of reducing headcount commensurate with lower origination volumes in 2022.    

The effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2023, was 21.7% as compared to 26.4% in 2022, and the yeareffective tax rate during the nine months ended December 31, 2016,September 30, 2023 was 22.3% as compared to 24.7% in 2022. The changes in effective rate are primarily attributable to the Finance Committee,impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to income before taxes for the CS&D Committeerespective period, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.

Segment Results

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

The Servicing segment performs operational activities on behalf of investors or owners of the underlying mortgages and mortgage servicing rights, including collecting and disbursing borrower payments, investor reporting, customer service, modifying loans where appropriate to help borrowers stay current, and when necessary performing collections, foreclosures, and the Boardsale of Directors met formallyREO.
The Originations segment originates residential mortgage loans through our direct-to-consumer channel, which provides refinance options for our existing customers, and informally numerous timesthrough our correspondent channel, which purchases or originates loans from mortgage bankers.

Refer to assess various opportunities. We have focused primarily on acquisition targetsNote 17, Segment Information, in the financialNotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of segment results.


Servicing Segment

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

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

Servicing- MSR Operational revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in base servicing fees as a result of a larger average servicing UPB portfolio in 2023 and an increase in other industries, suchancillary revenues driven by $67 gain on the sale of mortgage loans that were acquired in connection with the collapse of a securitization trust due to over-collateralization.

MSR amortization decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as information technology, industrials, business services, healthcarecompared to 2022, primarily due to lower prepayments driven by higher mortgage rates in 2023, partially offset by a higher average MSR UPB.

MSR MTM increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 2022, primarily driven by the positive impact of the newly acquired MSRs and less volatility in key assumptions in the valuation model. Loss on MSR hedging activities increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to larger average servicing portfolio and higher hedge coverage ratio in 2023.

Subservicing - Subservicing fees increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022, primarily due to fees related to the deboarding of a subservicing client in third quarter of 2023 as well as the specialty portfolio acquired as part of the Rushmore Transaction during the second quarter of 2023, which was fully operational for the entire third quarter of 2023.

35

Servicing Segment Expenses
Total expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily driven by an increase in corporate and other sectors.

29


On January 5, 2015, we announced that WMIH had completedgeneral and administrative expenses and servicing support fees, partially offset by a change in foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses (recoveries), net. The increase in both corporate and other general and administrative expenses and servicing support fees were primarily due to growth in our MSR servicing portfolio and an offering (the “Series B Preferred Stock Financing”)increase in allocated cost in 2023 primarily due to a higher percentage 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”)total headcount in the amountServicing segment following the workforce reduction in the Originations segment in 2022. The change in foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses (recoveries), net, was primarily driven by non-operating expense accruals and increases in reserves for advances and settlements in 2022.


Servicing Segment Other Income, net
Total other income, net increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily due to higher interest income attributable to higher interest rates, partially offset by higher interest expense from MSR and advance financing.

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

Servicing- MSR Operational revenue increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in base servicing fees as a result of a larger average servicing UPB portfolio in 2023 and increase in other ancillary revenues as a result of $67 gain from the sale of mortgage loans that were acquired in connection with the collapse of a securitization trust due to over-collateralization.

MSR amortization decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022, primarily due to lower prepayments driven by higher mortgage rates in 2023, partially offset by a higher average MSR UPB.

MSR MTM and Loss on MSR hedging activities decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 2022, as the increase in mortgage rates was greater in 2022 compared to 2023, partially offset by an increase in hedge coverage ratio.

Subservicing - Subservicing fees increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022, primarily due to the specialty UPB portfolio acquired as part of the Rushmore Transaction during the second quarter of 2023, which was fully operational for the entire third quarter of 2023.

Servicing Segment Expenses
Total expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily driven by an increase in corporate and other general and administrative expenses and salaries, wages, and benefits. The increase in corporate and other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to growth in our MSR servicing portfolio and an increase in allocated cost in 2023 primarily due to a higher percentage of total headcount in Servicing following the workforce reduction in the Originations segment in 2022. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits was primarily driven by higher headcount due to growth of our MSR servicing portfolio.

Servicing Segment Other Income (Expenses), net
Total other income (expenses), net changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily due to higher interest income attributable to higher interest rates, partially offset by higher interest expense from MSR and advance financing.

Both modifications and workouts during the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased compared to 2022, primarily due to the condensed consolidated financial statementsextension of the COVID-19 Recovery Loss Mitigation Options, which expanded the options to include additional eligible borrowers and resulted in Item 1an increase in modifications and workouts. Total modifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased compared to 2022 primarily due to a decrease in modifications related to loans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total workouts during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased compared to 2022 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 4, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities,in the date of the filing 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), 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 interests 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, priorNotes to the Series B Redemption Date, we publicly announce thatCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have entered into sale and assignment agreements treated as financing arrangements whereby the acquirer has the right to receive a definitive agreementspecified 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 have utilized these types of arrangements historically as a method for an Acquisition,efficiently financing acquired MSRs and the Series B Redemption Date will be extendedpurchase of loans, however we have not done so in recent years due to the earlier to occuravailability 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.

Excess spread financings 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 shareholdersrecorded at fair value, and the impact of any financing or restructuringfair value adjustments on future revenues and capital resources varies primarily due to prepayment speeds and option-adjusted spread levels.

Originations Segment

The strategy of our Originations segment is to originate or acquire new equity securitiesMSRs for our 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 and purchase 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 MSRs 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, our total originations included loans for 7,296 customers with low FICOs (<660), 8,245 customers with income below the U.S. median household income, 9,705 first-time homebuyers, and 2,417 veterans. During this time period, we originated a total of 11,173 Ginnie Mae loans, which are designed for first-time homebuyers and low- and moderate-income borrowers, comprising $3 billion in total proceeds. Once these loans are originated, the 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 more private or public transactions, redemptionnon-agency products. Through lead campaigns and direct marketing, the direct-to-consumer channel seeks to convert leads into loans and ultimately MSRs in a cost-efficient manner.

Our correspondent lending channel facilitates the acquisition of outstanding securities, orMSRs through purchasing 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 acquisitions.

Originations Segment Revenues
Total revenues decreased during the Finance Committeethree and its advisers are engagednine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2022 primarily driven by lower originations volume in discussions relating to, among other things,2023 that resulted in 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 operateddecrease 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 commutationcapitalized servicing rights and a distributiondecline in net gain on loans originated and sold.

Table 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 andContents

Originations Segment Expenses
Total expenses during the reporting period. We believe thatthree and nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased when compared to 2022 primarily due to a decline in salaries, wages and benefits expense, and loan origination expenses. Salaries, wages and benefits expense declined in 2023 primarily due to decreased headcount and lower originations volumes in both the critical accounting policies set forthdirect-to-consumer and correspondent channels. Loan origination expenses declined in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements describe the more significant judgments and estimates used2023 primarily due to cost reduction initiatives in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies pertainconnection with decreased origination volumes.

Originations Segment Other (Expenses) Income, Net
Interest income relates primarily 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 flowheld for sale. Interest expense 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

WMMRC that constituted Runoff Proceeds, historically, were required to be distributed to holders of WMIH’s Second Lien Notes in accordanceassociated with the terms ofwarehouse facilities utilized to finance newly originated loans. There were no material changes for other (expenses) income, net, during the Second Lien Indenturethree months ended September 30, 2023 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 WMMRCcompared to WMIH will be available for general corporate purposes. 

WMMRC’s revenues consist primarily of the following:

net premiums earned on reinsurance contracts;

positive changes2022. Due to (and corresponding releases from) loss reserves; and

net investmentdecreased originations volume, both interest income and interest expense declined, partially offset by higher interest rates, resulting in immaterial changes for total other (expenses) income, net, gains (losses) on WMMRC’s investment portfolio.

WMMRC’s expenses consist primarily ofduring the following:

Originations Margin

32


Results of Operations

The Originations Margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 decreased as compared to 2022 primarily due to lower revenue as a percentage of pull through adjusted lock volume driven by lower margins from a shift in channel mix from higher margin direct-to-consumer to lower margin correspondent and September 30, 2016  

Fordecline in total revenues as a result of lower originations volume from both the threedirect-to-consumer and ninecorrespondent channels. Direct-to-consumer channel mix was 48% and 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, we reported a net operating loss of $0.3 million2023, and net operating income of $3.5 million, respectively.  This compares to net operating losses of $0.4 million2022, and $1.3 million for the three45% and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The components that gave rise to a net operating loss for the three months and net operating income61% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and net2022, respectively.

Corporate/Other includes the results of Xome’s operations, the Company’s unallocated overhead expenses (which include the costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to our operating losses for the threesegments), changes in equity investments and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are summarized in the tables below under the Net Income (Loss) section.  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) an increase in general and administrative expense of $0.8 million, (iii) a minimal change in interest expense of $0.1 million, (iv) a net decrease in underwriting expense of $0.2 million and (v) a reduction ofon our unsecured senior notes. In addition, Corporate/Other includes eliminations related to intersegment hedge fair value changes.

Total revenues remained consistent during the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus a reduction of $0.5 million2023 as compared to 2022. Total revenues increased during the same periodnine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to increased revenue from Xome driven by greater sales volume in 2016. The loss contract reserve decrease,connection with exchange inventory growth.

Total expenses increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is attributed2023 primarily due to changes 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 applied to the loss contract reserve, thus reducing the reserve.  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. The most significant variances between the comparative nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 include (i) an increase in revenueallocated costs in 2023, driven by higher percentage of approximately $1.7 million, (ii) an increasetotal headcount in general and administrative expense of $1.0 million (iii) aCorporate/Other in 2023 following the workforce reduction in interest expense of $0.2 million, (iv) a net decreasethe Originations segment in underwriting expense of $0.6 million and (v) a reduction of the loss contract reserve of $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus a reduction of $2.3 million during the same period in 2016.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we reported net income attributable to common and participating stockholders of $33.9 million compared to a net loss attributable to common and participating stockholders of $21.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This $55.0 million reduction in net loss attributable to common and participating stockholders, when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the three months ended September 30, 2016, is primarily the result of the change in fair value of an embedded derivative.  This embedded derivative was recorded as a result of the variable conversion feature in our Series B Preferred Stock and the change 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 $38.6 million of other income for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to other expense of $16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This item is solely attributable to a change in fair value 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 earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017, including net revenues and decreased interest expense. Our revenues increased primarily due to improved earnings on our investment portfolio including the restricted cash equivalents. 2022.


Interest expense decreased as a result of the reduction in our Runoff Note balances discussed further below.  The loss contract reserve decreased by $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, resulting in a positive improvement to operating income.  Underwriting expenses were lower on a comparative basis, primarily due to smaller increases in premium deficiency reserves in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to increases in premium deficiency reserves during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as further described below 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 income attributable to common and participating stockholders of $21.4 million compared to net income attributable to common and participating stockholders of $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This $26.4 million decline 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 recorded as a result of the variable conversion feature in our Series B Preferred Stock and the change 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, compared to other income 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 the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an expense of $0.3 million for 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, 2017 compared to an expense of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily the result of the $0.5 million and $1.0 million additional premium deficiency reserves which were recordedincreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,2023 as compared to a minimal2022 primarily due to the senior note assumed from the acquisition of Home Point.


45

The change and a $0.2 million increasein other income (expense), net, in the premium deficiency reserve duringthree months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $96 recorded in the three andthird quarter of 2023 upon completion of the Home Point Transaction, partially offset by a loss of $35 related to fair value changes in certain equity investments. The change in other income (expense), net, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  These changes in expense are related2023 as compared to the operation of WMMRC 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,2022 was primarily due to a gain of $223 that was recorded in the current conditionfirst quarter of 2022 upon completion of the mortgage insurance market, WMMRC has recorded reserves basedSagent Transaction.

We measure liquidity by unrestricted cash and availability of collateralized borrowing capacity on ceded case reservesour MSR and incurred but not recorded (“IBNR”) loss levels establishedother debt facilities. We held cash and reported by the primary mortgage guaranty carriers ascash equivalents on hand of each reporting period. Management believes that its estimate of aggregate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses$553 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 zero2023 compared to $5.6 million at$527 as of December 31, 2016.  The value of2022. During the loss contract reserve decreased by $0.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023, we generated net cash of $772 from operating activities and decreased by $0.5bought back 4.3 million shares of our outstanding common stock for a total cost of $204 as part of our stock repurchase program. We have sufficient borrowing capacity to support our operations. As of September 30, 2023, total available borrowing capacity for advance, warehouse, and $2.3 million duringMSR facilities was $11,451, of which $2,119 was collateralized and immediately available to draw. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  Consequently, there was a related reduction2023, we increased capacity on our MSR facilities by $2,600.

Cash Flows
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 primarilytable below presents cash flows information:

Operating activities
Cash generated from operating activities decreased 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, as compared to net investment income of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in investment income is primarily the result of higher short term interest rates during 2017 compared to 2016. The components of the investment income are more fully described below in this Item 2 of Part I, under “Net Investment Income.”

General and Administrative Expenses

For 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 three 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$772 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and2023 from $3,144 in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decline of $4,235 in cash generated from originations net sales activities driven by $2.9 millionhigher mortgage rates, partially offset by a decrease of $1,920 in cash used for the repurchase of loan assets out of Ginnie Mae securitizations.


Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities increased to $1,088 during the year ended December 31, 2016.  Because sufficient Runoff Proceeds have not always been available to pay accrued interest on the Runoff Notes, a portion of our obligation to pay interest on the Runoff Notes has been satisfied using the “pay-in-kind” or “PIK” feature available under the Indentures. The accrued interest is converted to PIK Notes at the next payment date if there is not sufficient cash available to satisfy the required interest payment. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 from $987 in 2022. The increase was primarily due to cash used of $522 for acquisitions of business in 2023 related to the Roosevelt Transaction and 2016, no PIK Notes were issuedHome Point Transaction, partially offset by a decrease of $184 in satisfactioncash used for the purchase of our obligation to pay interestmortgage servicing rights in 2023 and an increase of $276 in cash generated from the proceeds on the Second Lien Notes.  Forsale of mortgage servicing rights in 2023.

Financing activities
Our financing activities generated cash of $318 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, $2.0 million and $2.0 million,2023 compared to cash used of interest$2,520 in 2022. The change was paidprimarily due to a net borrowing of $617 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 reported 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,2023 compared to net operating lossesrepayment of $0.4 million$1,933 in 2022 on our advance, warehouse and $1.3 million, respectively, for the threeMSR facilities.

As of September 30, 2023, Nationstar Mortgage, LLC and Rushmore Loan Management Services, LLC were in compliance with our seller/servicer financial requirements for FHFA and Ginnie Mae.

In 2022, the FHFA and Ginnie Mae revised its Seller/Servicers and single-family issuers minimum financial eligibility requirements. All revisions are effective in 2023 or 2024, as summarized below.

Capital Requirements (effective December 31, 2024)
Ginnie Mae – a Risk-based Capital Ratio (“RBCR”) of at least 6%. RBCR is adjusted net worth less excess MSRs divided by total risked-based assets

Since our Ginnie Mae single-family servicing portfolio for Nationstar Mortgage LLC exceeds $75 billion in UPB, we are also 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 met this requirement for all financial periods presented.

In addition, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac may require capital ratios in excess of stated requirements. Refer to Note 15, Capital Requirements, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

MSR facilities principal amount2,195 1,410 
Unsecured senior notes principal amount3,200 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 actuarial estimates. Quarterly,funds to meet contractual principal and interest payments for certain investors, and to pay taxes, insurance, foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. Delinquency rates and prepayment speeds affect the size of servicing advance balances, and we review these estimatesexercise our ability to stop advancing principal and interest where the 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 servicing advances. As of September 30, 2023, we had a total borrowing capacity of $925, of which we could borrow an additional $377.

48

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 contract by contract basisshort-term basis. We typically hold the loans for approximately 30 days and adjustthen sell or place the estimatesloans 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 we deem necessary based on updated informationthey expire. Our MSR facilities provide financing for our servicing portfolio and our internal actuarial estimates.

For the three and nine months endedinvestments. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we had a total borrowing capacity of $5,226 and $5,300 for warehouse and MSR facilities, of which we could borrow an additional $4,409 and $3,105, respectively.


Unsecured Senior Notes
In 2020 and 2021, we completed offerings of unsecured senior notes with maturity dates ranging from 2027 to 2031. In connection with the loss ratios were 14% and 19%Home Point transaction in the third quarter of 2023, we assumed an unsecured senior note with a maturity date in 2026. We pay interest semi-annually to the holders of these notes at interest rates ranging from 5.000% to 6.000%. For more information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 10, Indebtedness, respectively, comparedin the Notes to loss ratiosthe Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations
As 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 for2023, no material changes to our outstanding contractual obligations were made from the period by earned premiums. The ratio provides a measure of underwriting profit or loss. Loss reinsurance contracts (which represent the significant majority ofamounts previously disclosed in 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:

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, 20162022.


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 14, 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, and liabilities as determined for financial reporting purposes(ii) the valuation of excess spread financing.

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.

Other Matters

Recent Accounting Developments

Below lists recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us but not yet adopted.

Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, 2021-01 and 2022-06, collectively implemented as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 (“ASC 848”), Reference Rate Reform provides 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 the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating 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 approximately $6.0 billion and at September 30, 2017 we believeissued to clarify that thereall derivative instruments affected by changes to the interest rates used for discounting, margining alignment due to reference rate reform are in scope of ASC 848. In December 2022, ASU 2022-06 was no limit under Section 382issued to defer the sunset date of the Code on the use of these NOLs. As of September 30, 2017 andTopic 848 from December 31, 2016,2022 to December 31, 2024. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications, existing hedging relationships and other impacted transactions through December 31, 2024. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. At present, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equalhas limited exposure 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 amendmentsLIBOR based index rates. Due 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 valueshort-term maturities of the Company’s NOLs.

Investments

General

We hold investments at both WMIHadvance, warehouse and WMMRCMSR facilities, substantially all the Company’s facilities have matured and the two portfolios consist entirely of fixed incometransitioned away from LIBOR to alternative reference rates in 2022 when renewed. In addition, our derivative financial 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.are not tied to LIBOR rates. 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 (ifASU 2020-04 and when declared by our Board and until the Series B Preferred Stock is converted, redeemed or repurchased)ASU 2021-01 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 effectimpact 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 dividends applicable to WMMRC, WMIH’s principal sources of liquidity are its unrestricted investments, investment income derived from these investments 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, 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 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 more fully described in Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1statements.

(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.

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.

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.


54

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.

2022. There have been no material changes in the types of market risks faced by us since December 31, 2022, except that we have increased the target hedge ratio on our MSR hedge position from 25% of the net duration risk in our MSR portfolio at year-end 2022 to a target of 75% as of September 30, 2023, with the goal of mitigating the risk to capital and tangible book value in a declining interest rate environment.

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, OAS, 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, OAS 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, forward delivery commitments on MBS and treasury futures, we rely on a model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. In addition, the primary assumption used for IRLCs, is the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment.

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

We used September 30, 2023 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of September 30, 2023 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.

Employment and Transition Agreement with Chris Marshall

On October 24, 2023, Chris Marshall, our Vice Chairman and President, announced his intention to retire from the Company effective December 31, 2024 (the “Retirement Date”). In connection with his retirement, on October 24, 2023, we entered into an Employment and Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with Mr. Marshall to detail his employment terms until his retirement and provide for an orderly and smooth transition of his role and responsibilities.

57

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, until his Retirement Date, Mr. Marshall shall continue to (i) receive his current base salary of $750,000 on an annualized basis, (ii) participate in the Company’s Executive Management Incentive Plan (“EMIP”), its annual cash incentive plan, pursuant to the terms of such plan, (iii) be eligible to be granted annual equity awards, consistent with current grant practices, plans and applicable award agreement(s), with an allocation of no less than sixty percent (60%) of such awards for the Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 to be time-based and the remainder of such awards for the Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 to be performance-based. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transition Agreement provides that at least fifty percent (50%) of Mr. Marshall’s total compensation earned under the EMIP and his equity awards, as described above, shall be paid in cash. Under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Marshall will continue to be eligible for his current paid time off and entitled to participate in the Company’s health benefit plans.

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, if Mr. Marshall’s employment with the Company is terminated due to his death, disability or voluntary resignation, he (or his estate) is entitled to receive his accrued payments and benefits to which he is entitled (the “Accrued Obligations”). If the Company terminates Mr. Marshall’s employment for Cause (as defined in his offer letter with the Company (the “Offer Letter”)) Mr. Marshall is entitled to receive his Accrued Obligations but not any annual bonus payment. Under the Transition Agreement, if the Company terminates Mr. Marshall’s employment other than for Cause or Mr. Marshall terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in his Offer Letter) then he shall be entitled to (i) his Accrued Obligations and (ii) the “Severance” payments and benefits described in his Offer Letter, contingent upon Mr. Marshall executing and not revoking a release of claims in a form provided by the Company.

The Transition Agreement provides that in the event Mr. Marshall remains continuously employed with the Company through his Retirement Date, he will be considered to have retired under the terms of all outstanding equity awards, irrespective of whether such award contemplates retirement, and will be (i) fully vested in all time-based awards, and (ii) eligible for full vesting of all performance-based awards, based on actual performance. Additionally, after his Retirement Date, or earlier if mutually agreed upon by the parties, Mr. Marshall and the Company intend to negotiate a consulting agreement for Mr. Marshall’s provision of consulting services to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and to further promote a successful transition of Mr. Marshall’s responsibilities. Subject to further negotiation, the parties have agreed that the consulting agreement is intended to have a term of at least four (4) months and the Company intends to pay to Mr. Marshall a monthly fee of $62,500 per month, plus reimbursement for business and travel expenses required to perform such services.
In exchange for the Company extending to Mr. Marshall the opportunity to vest in his equity awards and providing the other benefits described above, Mr. Marshall agreed in the Transition Agreement extend the length of his post-employment non-competition, non-solicitation and non-hire restrictive covenants running in favor of the Company from 12 months to 24 months, respectively. In addition, the Transition Agreement contains broad confidentiality, inventions and intellectual property, and post-employment cooperation covenants in favor of the Company.

The foregoing summary of the Transition Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Transition Agreement, which is being filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference.

Employment and Retention Agreement with Jay Bray & Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award

On October 24, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into an Employment & Retention Agreement (the “Retention Agreement”) with Jay Bray, our Chairman and CEO, to facilitate the retention of our CEO over the next five years. The term of the Retention Agreement is from the Effective Date through the fifth year following the Effective Date.

The Retention Agreement provides for Mr. Bray’s (i) current base salary of $1,000,000 on an annualized basis, which is subject to review and adjustment, (ii) continued participation in the Company’s EMIP at a target annual incentive opportunity for the 2024 fiscal year at $2,500,000, (iii) continued eligibility to be granted long-term incentive opportunity awards with a target long-term incentive opportunity award for the 2024 fiscal year at $7,250,000. Mr. Bray’s target total compensation, which consists of his base salary, annual incentive opportunity and long-term incentive opportunity, as described above, is set $10,750,000, provided, however, this target total compensation may be subject to review and adjustment by the Company at any time it deems necessary to remain competitive with industry.

58

Additionally, the Retention Agreement provides for a Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award on the terms set forth in the grant agreement. In general, the Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award has a target award opportunity of $15,000,000 and is comprised (i) 40% in time-vested restricted stock units, 50% of which will vest on December 31, 2026 and 50% will vest on December 31, 2028, provided that Mr. Bray is still employ as CEO and/or Chairman on the applicable vesting dates and (ii) 60% in performance-based restricted stock units, 50% of which are generally eligible to vest following a three-year performance period and 50% of which are generally eligible to vest following a five-year performance period. The award agreement provides that one-half of the performance-based restricted stock units shall be earned based on the Company’s achievement of Book Value goals set above the standard long-term award targets and the other half of the performance-based restricted stock units are earned based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return set above the standard long-term award targets. To earn any performance-based restricted stock units, the Company must achieve a positive Total Shareholder Return at the end of the applicable performance period. The Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award does not contain any retirement provisions. In the event of Mr. Bray’s termination due to death or disability, he (or his estate) will retain all restricted stock units and would be eligible to vest in a pro-rata number of performance-based restricted stock units, contingent on actual performance. Absent such circumstances, Mr. Bray will forfeit all unvested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units upon any other termination of employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, for cause or without cause.

Under the Retention Agreement, if Mr. Bray’s employment with the Company is terminated due to his death, disability or voluntary resignation, he (or his estate) is entitled to receive his accrued payments and benefits to which he is entitled (the “Accrued Obligations”). If the Company terminates Mr. Bray’s employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Retention Agreement) or if Mr. Bray terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Retention Agreement), Mr. Bray is entitled to (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) if not previously paid prior to his termination date, his annual cash bonus under the EMIP for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, (iii) an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months’ worth of his base salary paid in installments over two years, (iv), an amount equal to (A) the greater of (1) the target annual incentive opportunity under the EMIP for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs or (2) the actual annual incentive payment earned for the immediately preceding fiscal year, plus (B) his target annual incentive opportunity for the fiscal year in which the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurred, payable in a single cash lump sum payment, and (v) a single cash lump sum payment for COBRA benefits for a period of eighteen (18) months. Additionally, the Retention Agreement provides that if Mr. Bray’s employment is terminated other than for Cause or Mr. Bray terminates his employment for Good Reason, such termination shall be considered a “Retirement” for purposes of any outstanding equity awards to the extent the equity award contains a retirement provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any successor or replacement plan thereto) or any award agreement granted thereunder other than the Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award, the Retention Agreement provides that Mr. Bray will be considered to have retired under the terms of all outstanding equity awards, irrespective of whether such award contemplates retirement and shall be (1) fully vested in all time-based awards, and (2) eligible for full vesting of all performance-based awards, based on actual performance.

In exchange for the severance protections described above, the Retention Agreement contains a broad array of restrictive covenants in favor of the Company to which Mr. Bray was not previously subject. In particular, the Retention Agreement provides for a non-competition covenant covering Mr. Bray’s employment with the Company and for twenty-four months (24) following his termination of employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”). Likewise, Mr. Bray is barred from soliciting any of the Company’s customers and prevented from hiring Company employees during his employment and the post-employment Restricted Period. In addition, the Retention Agreement protects the Company’s confidential information, and contains robust inventions and intellectual property covenants running in favor of the Company. Finally, Mr. Bray has agreed that he will provide the Company with any post-employment support and cooperation it should need or require following his departure.

The foregoing summaries of the Retention Agreement and the Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Retention Agreement, which is being filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference, and the Form of Value-Driver Retention and Performance Award, which is being filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference.
