Net earnings (loss) includes fair value adjustments for changes in the contingent consideration, long-term debt and net trust assets. The contingent consideration is related to the CashCall Mortgage (“CCM”) acquisition transaction, while the other fair value adjustments are related to our legacy portfolio. These fair value adjustments are non-cash items and are not related to current operating results. Although we are required by GAAP to record a change in fair value and accretion of the contingent consideration, management believes operating income excluding contingent consideration changes and the related accretion is more useful to discuss the ongoing and future operations. The table below shows operating income (loss) excluding these items:

Operating income, excluding the changes in contingent consideration, increased to $33.5 million for 2015 as compared to a loss of $(13.2) million for 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, we completed the acquisition of the CCM operations. The increase in operating income in 2015 was primarily due to higher origination volumes and higher margins associated with CCM.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, operating income, excluding the changes in contingent consideration, improved by $2.2 million over the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to an improvement in gain on sale margins. Gain on sale margins increased in 2015, due to the increase in retail volume which earns higher margins than the other origination channels. The increase in retail originations were a result of the CCM acquisition.
Operating income (loss), excluding the changes in the contingent consideration, decreased to a loss of $(593) thousand in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to operating income of $8.5 million in the third quarter. This decline was primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of loans due to a 16% decline in volume (as discussed below) combined with an 18 bps decrease in gain on sale margins to 187 bps in the quarter. Offsetting this decline in gain on sale revenue was a $2.7 million decline in marketing expenses in the fourth quarter. With the expected decline in demand in the fourth quarter for refinance loans associated with normal seasonal declines combined with an increase in mortgage rates, we reduced the amount of TV and radio advertising in the fourth quarter.

As a result of the acquisition of the CCM consumer direct channel in 2015, total originations increased 225% to $9.3 billion as compared to $2.8 billion in 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, and consistent with the rest of the market, total originations decreased to $1.9 billion, from $2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2015. However, total originations increased approximately 75% from the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fourth quarter origination volumes declined due to the normal seasonal decline, and implementation of the new TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures (“TRID”) requirements. Beginning in October 2015, lenders were required to start using new integrated disclosure forms, Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, as required by TRID. The new forms and disclosure rules were a significant change to the mortgage lending process. Although the Company was prepared for the implementation of TRID in its consumer direct channel, the Company’s business to business customers, who were equipped with lesser resources, experienced longer turn times in closing loans as a result of these new closing demands from TRID.
To manage the capital needs of the Company and to reduce the mortgage servicing rights asset concentration, in the fourth quarter the Company sold $4.5 billion of mortgage servicing rights for approximately $46.0 million.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s mortgage servicing portfolio decreased to $3.6 billion, a 41% decrease from September 30, 2015, which correspondingly decreased our retained mortgage servicing rights to $36.4 million at December 31, 2015 as compared to $63.3 million at September 30, 2015. The decrease in the value of mortgage servicing rights is primarily due to decreases in interest rates and prepayments.
The contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of the expected future earn-out payments to be paid to the seller of the CCM operations which was acquired in the first quarter of 2015. In the fourth quarter, similar to the third quarter, we updated assumptions based on current market conditions, resulting in a decline in projected volumes and in turn a lower estimated value of the contingent consideration. As a result, we recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration in the third quarter reducing the contingent consideration liability by $17.7 million over the remaining earn-out period of two years.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The information above contains a financial measure, operating income excluding contingent consideration changes and the related accretion, that is a non-GAAP measure. We have provided above a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management believes operating income excluding contingent consideration changes and the related accretion is more useful to discuss the ongoing and future operations. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures for financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented herein, and the reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP measure should be reviewed carefully.
