REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust
3043 Townsgate Rd
Westlake Village, CA 91361
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Organization
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on May 18, 2009, and commenced operations on August 4, 2009, when it completed its initial offerings of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage-related assets.
The Company operates in four segments: correspondent production, credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies and corporate:
| • | The correspondent production segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality mortgage loans either directly or in the form of MBS using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”). |
Most of the mortgage loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent production activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or through government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.”
| • | The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in distressed mortgage loans, real estate acquired in settlement of mortgage loans (“REO”), credit risk transfer agreements (“CRT Agreements”), non-Agency subordinated bonds and small balance commercial real estate mortgage loans. |
| • | The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”), Agency and senior non-Agency MBS and the related interest rate hedging activities. |
| • | The corporate segment includes certain interest income, management fee and corporate expense amounts. |
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with its taxable period ended on December 31, 2009. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company has to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.
Note 2—Concentration of Risks
As discussed in Note 1— Organization above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, a substantial portion of which were distressed at acquisition. The mortgage loans at fair value not acquired for sale or held in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) are generally purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies.
Due to the nature of the Company’s investments, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks associated with loan resolution, including that borrowers may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments when due, and that fluctuations in the residential real estate market may affect the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:
| • | changes in the overall economy, unemployment rates and residential real estate values in the markets where the properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans are located; |
| • | PCM’s ability to identify and PLS’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of certain mortgage loans; |
| • | the accuracy of valuation information obtained during the Company’s due diligence activities; |
F-7
| • | PCM’s ability to effectively model, and to develop appropriate model inputs that properly anticipate, future outcomes; |
| • | the level of government support for resolution of certain mortgage loans and the effect of current and future proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory changes on the Company’s ability to effect cures or resolutions to distressed mortgage loans; and |
| • | regulatory, judicial and legislative support of the foreclosure process, and the resulting effect on the Company’s ability to acquire and liquidate the real estate securing its portfolio of distressed mortgage loans in a timely manner or at all. |
Due to these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that risk management activities identified and executed on PMT’s behalf will prevent significant losses arising from the Company’s investments in real estate-related assets.
A substantial portion of the distressed mortgage loans and REO purchased by the Company in prior years has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc., as presented in the following summary:
| | December 31, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |
| | (in thousands) | |
Mortgage loans at fair value | | $ | 519,698 | | | $ | 855,691 | |
REO | | | 49,048 | | | | 88,088 | |
| | $ | 568,746 | | | $ | 943,779 | |
Total carrying value of distressed mortgage loans at fair value and REO | | $ | 1,628,641 | | | $ | 2,442,240 | |
Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies
PMT’s significant accounting policies are summarized below.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Manager to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMT and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. PMT has no significant equity method or cost-basis investments. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company also consolidates assets and liabilities included in a securitization transaction, and CRT Agreements as discussed below.
Securitization Transactions
The Company enters into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which are trusts that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions. In a securitization transaction, the Company transfers mortgage loans on its balance sheet to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of beneficial interests in those assets. In a securitization transaction, the Company typically receives a combination of cash and interests in the SPE in exchange for the assets transferred by the Company.
SPEs are generally Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is an entity having either a total equity investment at risk that is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors at risk lack the ability to control the entity’s activities. Variable interests are investments or other interests that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of the VIE’s expected residual returns. Expected residual returns represent the expected positive variability in the fair value of a VIE’s net assets.
F-8
PMT consolidates the assets and liabilities of VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE and holds a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.
The Company evaluates the securitization trust into which mortgage loans are transferred to determine whether the entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and therefore is required to consolidate the securitization trust.
Jumbo Mortgage Loan Financing
On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction in which PMT Loan Trust 2013-J1, a VIE, issued $537.0 million in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of certificates backed by fixed-rate prime jumbo mortgage loans at a 3.9% weighted yield. The VIE is consolidated by the Company as the Manager determined that PMT is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Manager concluded that PMT is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has the power, through its affiliate, PLS, in its role as servicer of the mortgage loans, to direct the activities of the trust that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. Further, the retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates expose the Company to losses and returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The asset-backed securities issued by the consolidated VIE are backed by the expected cash flows from the underlying fixed-rate prime jumbo mortgage loans. Cash inflows from these fixed-rate prime jumbo mortgage loans are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with the contractual priority of payments and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay the senior certificates. After the senior certificates are settled, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated certificates until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest in the trust that the Company owns.
The Company retains beneficial interests in the securitization transaction, including subordinated certificates and residual interests issued by the VIE. The Company retains credit risk in the securitization because the Company’s beneficial interests include the most subordinated interests in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on those assets. The Manager expects that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets will likely be limited to the Company’s subordinated and residual interests. The Company has no obligation to repurchase or replace securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default other than pursuant to breaches of representations and warranties.
For financial reporting purposes, the mortgage loans owned by the consolidated VIE are included in Mortgage loans at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are also shown under a separate statement following the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The securities issued to third parties by the consolidated VIE are included in Asset-backed financing of a variable interest entity at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the interest income earned on the mortgage loans owned by the VIE and the interest expense attributable to the asset-backed securities issued to nonaffiliates by the VIE on its consolidated income statements.
Credit Risk Transfer
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), entered into CRT Agreements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which PMC, through subsidiary trust entities, sells pools of mortgage loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining a portion of the credit risk underlying such mortgage loans (“Recourse Obligations”) as part of the retention of an interest-only (“IO”) ownership interest in such mortgage loans. The mortgage loans subject to the CRT Agreements are transferred by PMC to subsidiary trust entities which sell the mortgage loans into Fannie Mae mortgage loan securitizations. Transfers of mortgage loans subject to CRT Agreements receive sale accounting treatment upon fulfillment of the criteria for sale recognition contained in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC.
The Manager has concluded that the Company’s subsidiary trust entities are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it is the holder of the primary beneficial interests which absorb the variability of the trusts’ results of operations. Consolidation of the VIEs results in the inclusion on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of the fair value of the Recourse Obligations, retained IO ownership interest and the cash pledged to fulfill the Recourse Obligations in the form of a derivative financial instrument and the pledged cash. The pledged cash represents the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to claims under its Recourse Obligations and is the sole source of settlement of losses under the CRT Agreements. Gains and losses on net derivatives related to CRT Agreements are included in Net gain on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
F-9
Fair Value
PMT groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. These may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and other inputs.
•Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.
As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Manager is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these financial statement items and their fair values. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.
The Manager reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Short-term investments represent deposit accounts. The Company categorizes its short-term investments as “Level 1” fair value assets.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company invests in Agency and non-Agency MBS. Purchases and sales of MBS are recorded as of the trade date. The Company’s investments in MBS are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Changes in fair value arising from amortization of purchase premiums and accrual of unearned discounts are recognized using the interest method and are included in Interest income. Changes in fair value arising from other factors are included in Net gain (loss) on investments. The Company categorizes its investments in MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets.
Interest Income Recognition
Interest income on MBS is recognized over the life of the security using the interest method. The Manager estimates, at the time of purchase, the future expected cash flows and determines the effective interest rate based on the estimated cash flows and the security’s purchase price. The Manager updates its cash flow estimates monthly.
Estimating cash flows requires a number of inputs that are subject to uncertainties, including the rate and timing of principal payments (including prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), coupon interest rate, interest rate fluctuations, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying mortgage loans, the likelihood of modification and the timing of the magnitude of credit losses on the mortgage loans underlying the securities. The Manager applies its judgment in developing its estimates. However, these uncertainties are difficult to predict; therefore, the outcome of future events will affect the timing and amount of interest income.
Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans are carried at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans are recognized in current period income. Changes in fair value, other than changes in fair value attributable to accrual of unearned discounts and amortization of purchase premiums, are included in Net gain on investments for mortgage loans classified as mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale for mortgage loans classified as mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value. Changes in fair value attributable to accrual of unearned discounts and amortization of purchase premiums are included in Interest income on the consolidated statements of income.
F-10
Sale Recognition
The Company purchases from and sells mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage market without recourse for credit losses. However, the Company maintains continuing involvement with the mortgage loans in the form of servicing arrangements and the liability under the representations and warranties it makes to purchasers and insurers of the mortgage loans.
The Company recognizes transfers of mortgage loans as sales based on whether the transfer is made to a VIE:
| • | For mortgage loans that are not transferred to a VIE, the Company recognizes the transfer as a sale when it surrenders control over the mortgage loans. Control over transferred mortgage loans is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the mortgage loans have been isolated from the Company, (ii) the transferee has the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred mortgage loans, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred mortgage loans through either (a) an agreement that entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific mortgage loans. |
| • | For mortgage loans that are transferred to a VIE, the Company recognizes the transfer as a sale when the Manager determines that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as the Company does not both have the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the VIE and does not hold a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. |
Interest Income Recognition
The Company has the ability but not the intent to hold mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans at fair value other than mortgage loans held in a VIE, and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements for the foreseeable future. Therefore, interest income on mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans at fair value other than mortgage loans held in a VIE, and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements is recognized over the life of the loans using their contractual interest rates.
The Company has both the ability and intent to hold mortgage loans held in a VIE for the foreseeable future. Therefore, interest income on mortgage loans held in a variable interest entity is recognized over the estimated remaining life of the mortgage loans using the interest method. Unearned discounts and purchase premiums are accrued and amortized to interest income using the effective interest rate inherent in the estimated cash flows from the mortgage loans.
Income recognition is suspended and the accrued unpaid interest receivable is reversed against interest income when mortgage loans become 90 days delinquent, or when, in the Manager’s opinion, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current.
Excess Servicing Spread
The Company has acquired the right to receive the ESS related to MSRs owned by PFSI. ESS is carried at its fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in current period income in Net gain on investments. Because ESS is a claim to a portion of the cash flows from MSRs, its valuation process is similar to that of MSRs. The Manager uses the same discounted cash flow approach to value the ESS as it uses to value the related MSRs except that certain inputs relating to the cost to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs and certain ancillary income are not included as these cash flows do not accrue to the holder of the ESS. The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value asset.
Interest Income Recognition
Interest income for ESS is accrued using the interest method, based upon the expected yield from the ESS through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to the expected interest yield result in a change in fair value which is recorded in Interest income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In its correspondent production activities, the Company makes contractual commitments to correspondent sellers to purchase mortgage loans at specified interest rates (“interest rate lock commitments” or “IRLCs”). These commitments are accounted for as derivative financial instruments. The Company manages the risk created by IRLCs relating to mortgage loans acquired for sale by entering into forward sale agreements to sell the resulting mortgage loans and by the purchase and sale of interest rate options and futures. Such agreements are also accounted for as derivative financial instruments. These instruments may also be used to manage the risk created by changes in interest rates on certain of the MBS and MSRs the Company holds. The Company classifies its IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities and the derivative assets and liabilities it acquires to manage the risks created by IRLCs and from holding MBS, mortgage loans pending sale and MSRs as “Level 1” or “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.
F-11
The Company enters into CRT Agreements whereby it retains a portion of the credit risk relating to mortgage loans it sells into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations and retains an IO ownership interest in such mortgage loans. These investments are classified as “Level 3” fair value assets.
All other derivative financial instruments are used for risk management activities.
The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments as free-standing derivatives. The Company does not designate its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting. All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in current period income. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is included in Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities and changes in fair value are included in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, in Net gain on investments or in Net mortgage loan servicing fees, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
When the Company has master netting agreements with its derivatives counterparties, the Company nets its counterparty positions along with any cash collateral received from or delivered to the counterparty.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
REO is measured at the lower of the acquisition cost of the property (as measured by purchase price in the case of purchased REO; or the fair value of the mortgage loan immediately before REO acquisition in the case of acquisition in settlement of a mortgage loan) or its fair value reduced by estimated costs to sell. The Company categorizes REO as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Changes in fair value to levels that are less than or equal to acquisition cost and gains or losses on sale of REO are recognized in the consolidated statements of income under the caption Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs arise from contractual agreements between the Company and investors (or their agents) in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Under these contracts, the Company is obligated to provide mortgage loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting mortgage loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising the acquisition and disposition of REO. The Company has engaged PFSI to provide these services on its behalf.
The Company recognizes MSRs initially at their fair values, either as proceeds from sales of mortgage loans where the Company assumes the obligation to service the mortgage loan in the sale transaction, or from the purchase of MSRs. The precise fair value of MSRs is difficult to determine because MSRs are not actively traded in observable stand-alone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect the Company’s earnings. Therefore, the Company categorizes its MSRs as “Level 3” fair value assets.
The fair value of MSRs is derived from the net positive cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. The Company receives a servicing fee of generally 0.25% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of conventional mortgage loans. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors. The Company generally receives other remuneration including rights to various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges and the Company is generally entitled to retain any interest earned on funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.
The Company accounts for MSRs at either the asset’s fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings or using the amortization method with the MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the class of MSR. The Company has identified two classes of MSRs: originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5%; and originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% are accounted for using the amortization method. Originated MSRs backed by loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period income.
MSRs Accounted for Using the MSR Amortization Method
The Company amortizes MSRs that are accounted for using the MSR amortization method. MSR amortization is determined by applying the ratio of the net MSR cash flows projected for the current period to the projected total remaining net MSR cash flows. The estimated total net MSR cash flows are estimated at the beginning of each month using prepayment inputs applicable at that time.
F-12
The Company assesses MSRs accounted for using the amortization method for impairment monthly. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the asset’s amortized cost. If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period income and the carrying value (carrying value is amortized cost reduced by a valuation allowance) of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance. If the fair value of impaired MSRs subsequently increases, the Company recognizes the increase in fair value in current-period earnings and adjusts the carrying value of the MSRs through a reduction in the valuation allowance to adjust the carrying value only to the extent of the valuation allowance.
The Company stratifies its MSRs by risk characteristic when evaluating for impairment. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its servicing portfolio on the basis of certain risk characteristics including mortgage loan type (fixed-rate or adjustable-rate) and note interest rate. Fixed-rate mortgage loans are stratified into note interest rate pools of 50 basis points for note interest rates between 3.0% and 4.5% and a single pool for note interest rates below 3%. Adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the note interest rate pools is below the amortized cost of the MSRs for that pool, impairment is recognized to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the existing carrying value for that pool.
The Manager periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the fair value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover in the foreseeable future. When the Manager deems recovery of the fair value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.
Amortization and impairment of MSRs are included in current period income as a component of Net mortgage loan servicing fees.
MSRs Accounted for at Fair Value
Changes in fair value of MSRs accounted for at fair value are recognized in current period income as a component of Net mortgage loan servicing fees.
Servicing Advances
Servicing advances represent advances made on behalf of borrowers and the mortgage loans’ investors to fund delinquent balances for property tax and insurance premiums and out of pocket costs (e.g., preservation and restoration of mortgaged property REO, legal fees, appraisals and insurance premiums). Servicing advances are made in accordance with the Company’s servicing agreements and, when made, are deemed recoverable. The Company periodically reviews servicing advances for collectability. Servicing advances are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.
Borrowings
Borrowings, other than Asset-backed financing of a VIE at fair value, are carried at historical cost. Costs of creating the facilities underlying the agreements are included in the carrying value of the borrowing facilities and are amortized to Interest expense over the term of the borrowing facility on the straight-line basis.
Asset-backed financing of a VIE at Fair Value
The certificates issued to nonaffiliates by the Company relating to the asset-backed financing are recorded as borrowings. Certificates issued to nonaffiliates have the right to receive principal and interest payments of the mortgage loans held by the consolidated VIE. Asset-backed financings of the VIE are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in current period income as a component of Net gain on investments. The Company categorizes asset-backed financing of the VIE at fair value as a “Level 2” fair value liability.
Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties
The Company provides for its estimate of the losses that it expects to incur in the future as a result of its breach of the representations and warranties that it provides to the purchasers and insurers of the mortgage loans it has sold. The Company’s agreements with the Agencies and other investors include representations and warranties related to the mortgage loans the Company sells to the Agencies and other investors. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency and other investor origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the mortgage loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
F-13
In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, the Company may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it has to correspondent lenders that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to the Company and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.
The Company records a provision for losses relating to representations and warranties as part of its mortgage loan sale transactions. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and mortgage loan repurchase rates, the estimated severity of loss in the event of default and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent mortgage loan seller. The Company establishes a liability at the time mortgage loans are sold and periodically updates its liability estimate. The level of the liability for representations and warranties is reviewed and approved by the Manager’s management credit committee.
The level of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying mortgage loans. The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, the Manager believes that the current unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans sold by the Company to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. The Manager believes the range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to the Company’s financial condition or income.
Underwriting Commissions and Offering Costs
Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with the Company’s share offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Contingent offering costs that are deemed by the Manager as probable of being paid are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
Mortgage Loan Servicing Fees
Mortgage loan servicing fees and other remuneration are received by the Company for servicing mortgage loans. Mortgage loan servicing fees are recorded net of Agency guarantee fees paid by the Company. Mortgage loan servicing fees are recognized as earned over the life of the loans in the servicing portfolio. Mortgage loan servicing fees are deemed to be earned when they are collected.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company amortizes the fair value of previously granted share-based awards to compensation expense over the vesting period using the graded vesting method. Expense relating to share-based awards is included in Compensation expense on the consolidated statements of income.
The initial cost of restricted share units awarded is established at the Company’s closing share price on the date of the award. The Company adjusts the cost of its share-based compensation awards depending on whether the awards are made to its trustees and officers or to non-employees such as officers and employees of affiliates:
| • | For awards to officers and trustees of the Company, compensation cost relating to restricted share units is generally fixed at the fair value of the award date. Compensation relating to performance share units is adjusted for changes in expected performance attainment in each subsequent reporting period until the units have vested or expired. |
| • | Compensation cost for share-based compensation awarded to employees of the Manager is adjusted to reflect changes in the fair value of awards, including changes in the Company’s share price for both restricted share units and performance share units and, in the case of performance share units, for changes in expected performance attainment in each subsequent reporting period until the award has vested or expired, the service being provided is subsequently completed, or, under certain circumstances, is likely to be completed, whichever occurs first. |
The Manager’s estimates of compensation costs reflect the expected portion of share-based compensation awards that are expected to vest.
F-14
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT and the Manager believes the Company complies with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to REITs. Accordingly, the Manager believes the Company will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income that is distributed to shareholders as long as certain asset, income and share ownership tests are met. If PMT fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it will be subject to income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year of loss of the Company’s REIT qualification.
The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal and state income taxes. Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Manager expects those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.
A valuation allowance is established if, in the Manager’s judgment, realization of deferred tax assets is not more likely than not. The Company recognizes a tax benefit relating to tax positions it takes only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this standard is recognized as the largest amount that exceeds 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company will classify any penalties and interest as a component of income tax expense.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company was not under examination by any federal or state income taxing authority.

Operating Activities
Correspondent Production Activities
The Company’s mortgage banking services agreement provides for a fulfillment fee paid to PLS based on the type of mortgage loan that the Company acquires. The fulfillment fee is equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans purchased by the Company. PLS has also agreed to provide such services exclusively for the Company’s benefit, and PLS and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other party.
Prior to September 12, 2016, the applicable fulfillment fee percentages were (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans sold in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, and (iii) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above; provided, however, that PLS was permitted, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of the applicable fulfillment fee and credit the amount of such reduction to any reimbursement that would have otherwise been due based on volumes tied to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans purchased by the Company in the related month. This reduction was only credited to the reimbursement applicable to the month in which the related mortgage was funded.
Effective as of September 12, 2016, the applicable fulfillment fee percentages are (i) 0.35% for mortgage loans sold or delivered to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and (ii) 0.85% for all other mortgage loans; provided however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae mortgage loans. The Company does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking services agreement, PLS currently purchases loans salable in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company at cost less any administrative fees paid by the Correspondent to PMT plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days loans are held by the Company prior to purchase by PLS. The discretionary reductions and volume reimbursements described above are no longer in effect.
In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by PLS with respect to the Company’s acquisition of mortgage loans under PLS’s early purchase program, PLS is entitled to fees accruing (i) at a rate equal to $1,500 per annum per early purchase facility, and (ii) in the amount of $35 for each mortgage loan that the Company acquires.
The mortgage banking services agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Mortgage Loan Servicing Activities
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, has a mortgage loan servicing agreement with PLS. The servicing agreement provides for servicing fees earned by PLS that are based on a percentage of the mortgage loan’s unpaid principal balance to fixed per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced mortgage loan or the REO. PLS is also entitled to market-based fees and charges including boarding and deboarding, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges relating to mortgage loans it services for the Company. The servicing agreement was amended and restated as of September 12, 2016; however, the fee structure was not amended in any material respect.
| • | The base servicing fees for distressed mortgage loans are calculated based on a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each mortgage loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of such mortgage loan or the related underlying real estate. Presently, the base servicing fees for distressed mortgage loans range from $30 per month for current mortgage loans up to $100 per month for mortgage loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. PLS is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed mortgage loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from 0.50% for a streamline modification to 1.50% for a liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. PLS is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee in any 18-month period. |
| • | The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month. To the extent that the Company rents its REO under an REO rental program, the Company pays PLS an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to PLS’ cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9% of gross rental income if PLS provides property management services directly. PLS is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third party vendor fees. |
| • | The base servicing fees for non-distressed mortgage loans subserviced by PLS on the Company’s behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees for loans subserviced on the Company’s behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable rate mortgage loans. |
| • | To the extent that these non-distressed mortgage loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per mortgage loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the mortgage loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees. |
F-16
| • | PLS is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement because the Company does not have any employees or infrastructure. For these services, PLS received a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan. PLS is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performance of its servicing obligations. |
| • | PLS, on behalf of the Company, currently participates in the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) (and other similar mortgage loan modification programs). HAMP establishes standard loan modification guidelines for “at risk” homeowners and provides incentive payments to certain participants, including loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The loan servicing agreement entitles PLS to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS under HAMP in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which the Company previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS shall reimburse the Company an amount equal to the incentive payments. |
The term of the servicing agreement, as amended, expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the servicing agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement, if PLS refinances through its consumer direct lending business mortgage loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries without cost to the Company, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. Where the fair value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, pay cash to the Company in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such MSRs.

Management Fees
Under a management agreement, the Company pays PCM management fees as follows:
| • | A base management fee that is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. |
| • | A performance incentive fee that is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.” |
The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.
For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:
“Net income” is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between PCM and PMT’s independent trustees and after approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.
“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four-quarter period.
The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the Fannie Mae MBS yield (the target yield) for such quarter. The “high watermark” starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. If the net income is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for PCM to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s net income over (or under) the target yield, until the net income in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.
The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both payable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at the Company’s option.
The management agreement was amended and restated as of September 12, 2016; however, the fee structure was not amended in any material respect. Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees payable to PCM recorded by the Company:
| | Year ended December 31, | |

In the event of termination of the management agreement between the Company and PFSI, PFSI may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by PFSI, in each case during the 24-month period before termination.

Financing Activities
PFSI held 75,000 of the Company’s common shares at both December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Repurchase Agreement with PLS
On December 19, 2016, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), entered into a master repurchase agreement with PLS (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from PLS for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS. PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC, as guarantor (the “PC Repurchase Agreement”). The Issuer Trust was formed for the purpose of allowing PLS to finance MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs (the “GNMA MSR Facility”).
In connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in MSRs and ESS pursuant to the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. In return, the Issuer Trust (a) has issued to PLS, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016, known as the “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2016-MSRVF1” (the “VFN”), and (b) may, from time to time pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture, issue to institutional investors additional term notes (“Term Notes”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis by the participation certificates relating to the MSRs and ESS. The maximum principal balance of the VFN is $1,000,000,000.
The principal amount paid by PLS for the participation certificates under the PMH Repurchase Agreement is based upon a percentage of the market value of the underlying ESS. Upon PMH’s repurchase of the participation certificates, PMH is required to repay PLS the principal amount relating thereto plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and consistent with the weighted average note rate of the VFN and any outstanding Term Notes) to the date of such repurchase. PLS is then required to repay the Issuer Trust the corresponding amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement.
Note Payable to PLS
Before entering into the PMH Repurchase Agreement, PLS was a party to a repurchase agreement between it and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) (the “MSR Repo”), pursuant to which PLS financed Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advance receivables and pledged all of its rights and interests in any Ginnie Mae MSRs it owned to CSFB, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and PLS.
In connection with the MSR Repo, the Company was party to an underlying loan and security agreement with PLS, pursuant to which the Company was able to borrow up to $150 million from PLS for the purpose of financing its investment in ESS (the “Underlying LSA”). The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA was based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged to PLS, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, the Company granted to PLS a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings, and PLS, in turn, re-pledged such ESS to CSFB under the MSR Repo. Interest accrued on the Company’s note relating to the Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. The underlying LSA was terminated in connection with the execution of the PMH Agreement.
F-20
In connection with its initial public offering of common shares on August 4, 2009 (“IPO”), the Company conditionally agreed to reimburse PCM up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by PCM on the Company’s behalf (the “Conditional Reimbursement”). Also in connection with its IPO, the Company agreed to pay the IPO underwriters up to $5.9 million in contingent underwriting fees.

Note 5—Earnings Per Share
The Company grants restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. Unvested share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method.
Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income, reduced by income attributable to the participating securities, by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to diluted shareholders, which adds back to net income the interest expense, net of applicable income taxes, on the Company’s exchangeable senior notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”), by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Jumbo Mortgage Loan Financing
On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction in which PMT Loan Trust 2013-J1, a VIE, issued $537.0 million in UPB of certificates backed by fixed-rate prime jumbo mortgage loans, at a 3.9% weighted yield. The Company initially retained $366.8 million in fair value of such certificates. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, the Company sold $111.0 million and $208.8 million in UPB of those certificates, respectively, which reduced the fair value of the certificates retained by the Company to $8.9 million as of December 31, 2016.
Note 7—Netting of Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk created by its MBS, interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, ESS and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company has elected to net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from (or posted to) its counterparties when subject to a legally enforceable master netting arrangement. The derivative financial instruments that are not subject to master netting arrangements are IRLCs and the derivatives related to CRT Agreements. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not enter into reverse repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions that are required to be disclosed in the following tables.

Note 8—Fair Value
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their fair values. Measurement at fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Manager has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Manager identified all of the Company’s non-cash financial assets and MSRs relating to non-commercial real estate secured mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%, to be accounted for at fair value. The Manager has elected to account for these assets at fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.
The Manager has also identified the Company’s CRT financing and asset-backed financing of a VIE to be accounted for at fair value to reflect the generally offsetting changes in fair value of these borrowings to changes in fair value of mortgage loans at fair value collateralizing these financings. For other borrowings, the Manager has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is measured at cost as indicated by the purchase price in the case of purchased REO or as measured by the fair value of the mortgage loan immediately before REO acquisition in the case of acquisition in settlement of a loan. REO may be subsequently revalued due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value
The Company evaluates its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value for impairment with reference to the asset’s fair value. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into pools with 50 basis point interest rate ranges for fixed-rate mortgage loans with interest rates between 3.0% and 4.5% and a single pool for mortgage loans with interest rates below 3.0%. MSRs relating to adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the interest rate pools is below the amortized cost of the MSRs, those MSRs are impaired.
When MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period income and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted using a valuation allowance. If the fair value of the MSRs subsequently increases, the increase in fair value is recognized in current period income only to the extent of the valuation allowance for the respective impairment stratum.
The Manager periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the fair value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover. When the Manager deems recovery of fair value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
The Company’s Cash as well as certain of its borrowings are carried at amortized cost. Cash is measured using a “Level 1” fair value input. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreements, Notes payable, Exchangeable senior notes and Federal Home Loan Bank advances are classified as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values.
The Manager has concluded that the fair values of Cash, Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreements, Notes payable and Federal Home Loan Bank advances approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the immediate realizability of Cash at its carrying amount and to the borrowing agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates. The fair value of the Exchangeable senior notes at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $240.7 million and $230.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Exchangeable senior notes is estimated using a broker indication of value.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Most of the Company’s assets, and the Asset-backed financing of a VIE, the Interest-only security payable and Derivative liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.
F-34
Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Manager has assigned responsibility for estimating fair value of these items to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant executive management oversight. The Manager’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures.
With respect to the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the FAV group reports to PCM’s valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PCM’s valuation committee. During 2016, PCM’s valuation committee included PFSI’s chief executive, financial, risk, business development and asset/liability management officers.
The FAV group is responsible for reporting to PCM’s valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.
The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff and is reviewed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Operations group.
The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company categorizes its current holdings of MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets. Fair value of MBS is established based on quoted market prices. Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Loans
Fair value of mortgage loans is estimated based on whether the mortgage loans are saleable into active markets:
| • | Mortgage loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value are established using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent. For the mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, the quoted fair values of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a fair value for the mortgage loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliated brokers based on comparable securities and validates the brokers’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Manager believes are similar to the models and inputs used by other market participants. |
| • | Mortgage loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of distressed mortgage loans, are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets and their fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status, property type, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds, loss severities and contracted selling price where applicable. |
The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of the mortgage loans’ fair values and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The FAV group computes the effect on the valuation of changes in inputs such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the mortgage loan valuation.
Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are measured by the effect on fair value of the change in the respective mortgage loan’s delinquency status and performance history at year-end from the later of the beginning of the year or acquisition date.
F-35
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the mortgage loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans at fair value are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value:
Key inputs | | December 31, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |
Discount rate | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 2.6% – 15.0% | | | 2.5% – 15.0% | |

Weighted average | | | 17.7% | | | | 19.6% | |
(1) | Prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). |
(2) | Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR. |
Excess Servicing Spread Purchased from PFSI
The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value asset. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of ESS. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of ESS include prepayment speed and discount rate. Significant changes to those inputs in isolation may result in a significant change in the ESS fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.
ESS is generally subject to loss in fair value when interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage market interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to ESS. Reductions in the fair value of ESS affect income primarily through change in fair value. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of ESS:
Key inputs | | December 31, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |
UPB of underlying mortgage loans (in thousands) | | $32,376,359 | | | $51,966,405 | |
Average servicing fee rate (in basis points) | | | 34 | | | | 32 | |
Average ESS rate (in basis points) | | | 19 | | | | 17 | |
Pricing spread (1) | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 3.8% - 4.8% | | | 4.8% - 6.5% | |
Weighted average | | | 4.4% | | | | 5.7% | |
Life (in years) | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 1.4 - 8.6 | | | 1.4 - 9.0 | |
Weighted average | | 6.8 | | | | 6.9 | |
Annual total prepayment speed (2) | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 7.0% - 41.3% | | | 5.2% - 52.4% | |
Weighted average | | | 10.5% | | | | 9.6% | |
(1) | Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to ESS. |
(2) | Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR. |

Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loans will be purchased under the commitment (the “pull-through rate”).
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in fair value. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but increase the pull-through rate for mortgage loan principal and interest payment cash flows that have decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:
Key inputs | | December 31, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |
Pull-through rate | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 60.7% - 100.0% | | | 60.2% - 100.0% | |
Weighted average | | | 88.5% | | | | 92.4% | |
MSR value expressed as: | | | | | | | | |
Servicing fee multiple | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 2.6 - 6.0 | | | 2.1 - 6.2 | |
Weighted average | | | 5.0 | | | | 4.9 | |
Percentage of UPB | | | | | | | | |
Range | | 0.7% - 1.5% | | | 0.5% - 3.8% | |
Weighted average | | | 1.3% | | | | 1.2% | |
Hedging Derivatives
The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell mortgage loans based on quoted MBS prices. These derivative financial instruments are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities for those based on exchange traded market prices or as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities for those based on observable interest rate volatilities in the MBS market. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, Net mortgage loan servicing fees, Net gain on investments or, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from a broker’s price opinion, a full appraisal, or the price given in a current contract of sale.
REO fair values are reviewed by the Manager’s staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the fair values received. PCM’s staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers will order an additional appraisal to determine fair value. Changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread, prepayment and default rates of the underlying mortgage loans, and annual per-loan cost to service mortgage loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net mortgage loan servicing fees in the consolidated statements of income.
F-37
MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected life of the underlying mortgage loans, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to the MSRs. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through change in fair value and change in impairment. For MSRs backed by mortgage loans with historically low interest rates, factors other than interest rates (such as housing price changes) take on increasing influence on prepayment behavior of the underlying mortgage loans.
Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs at the time of initial recognition:

The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only account for the estimated effect of the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes in the inputs in relation to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made by the Manager to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is based on the accrued cost of the agreements, which approximates the fair values of the agreements, due to the short maturities of such agreements.

The Company is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. The Company transfers government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that it purchases from correspondent lenders to PLS, which is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer, and earns a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days that mortgage loans are held prior to purchase by PLS.
Note 11—Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s activities involving derivative financial instruments are summarized below:
| • | The Company generates IRLCs in the normal course of business when it commits to purchase mortgage loans acquired for sale. |
| • | The Company enters into CRT Agreements whereby it retains a portion of the credit risk relating to certain mortgage loans it sells into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations and an IO ownership interest in such mortgage loans. The fair values of the Recourse Obligations and the Company’s retention of the IO ownership interest are accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. |
| • | The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. To manage the price risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s MBS, inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans held by VIE, ESS, IRLCs and MSRs. |
The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.
The Company is exposed to price risk relative to the IRLCs it issues to correspondent sellers and to the mortgage loans it purchases as a result of issuing the IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time an IRLC is issued to a correspondent seller to the time the purchased mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair value of the purchase commitment or mortgage loan acquired for sale to decrease.

Note 16—Mortgage Loan Participation and Sale Agreements
Two of the borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans acquired for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of such mortgage loans and the sale of the resulting security. A commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.
The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Note 28—Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has adopted an equity incentive plan which provides for the issuance of equity based awards, including share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, unrestricted common share awards, LTIP units (a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership) and other awards based on PMT’s common shares that may be made by the Company directly to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PFSI, or their affiliates and to PCM, PFSI and other entities that provide services to PMT and the employees of such other entities.
The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the board of trustees, which has the authority to make awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the awards.
The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for grants of share-based awards up to an aggregate of 8% of PMT’s issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis at the time of the award.
The shares underlying award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:
| • | any shares subject to an award granted under the equity incentive plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered; |
| • | an award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant; or |
| • | shares are surrendered or withheld by PMT as payment of either the exercise price of an award and/or withholding taxes for an award. |
Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to employees of PFSI at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to three-year period.

Note 30—Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, PMT generally will not be subject to corporate federal or state income tax to the extent that qualifying distributions are made to shareholders and the Company meets REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company believes that it has met the distribution requirements, as it has declared dividends sufficient to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Taxable income will generally differ from net income. The primary differences between net income and the REIT taxable income (before deduction for qualifying distributions) are the taxable income of the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and the method of determining the income or loss related to valuation of the mortgage loans owned by the qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”).
F-55
In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. The approximate tax characterization of the Company’s distributions is as follows:
Year ended December 31, | | Ordinary income | | | Long term capital gain | | | Return of capital | |
2016 | | | 60 | % | | | 40 | % | | | 0 | % |
2015 | | | 41 | % | | | 25 | % | | | 34 | % |
2014 | | | 86 | % | | | 14 | % | | | 0 | % |
The Company had elected to treat two of its subsidiaries as TRSs. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company revoked the election to treat its wholly owned subsidiary that is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership as a TRS. As a result, beginning September 1, 2012, only one subsidiary, PMC, is treated as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions have been made to date. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC and, for the periods for which TRS treatment had been elected, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns for both the REIT and TRSs. These federal income tax returns for 2013 and forward are subject to examination. The Company’s state income tax returns are generally subject to examination for 2012 and forward. No returns are currently under examination.
The following table details the Company’s income tax benefit which relates primarily to the TRSs for the years presented:

Note 31—Segments
The Company has diversified its investment activities and has focused its broadened investment base on two classes of investments: credit sensitive and interest rate sensitive mortgage related assets. As this focus has developed, new reporting is used by the chief operating decision maker in the management of the Company’s investments. Accordingly, the Manager re-evaluated this new
F-57
information in relation to its definition of the Company’s operating segments and the Company has redefined its segment reporting to separately distinguish its investment activities between credit sensitive and interest rate sensitive investments, and certain of its corporate activities.
The Company operates in four segments: correspondent production, credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies and corporate:
| • | The correspondent production segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality mortgage loans either directly or in the form of MBS using the services of the Manager and PLS. |
| • | The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in distressed mortgage loans, REO, CRT Agreements, non-Agency subordinated bonds and small balance commercial real estate mortgage loans. |
| • | The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in MSRs, ESS, Agency and senior non-Agency MBS and the related interest rate hedging activities. |
| • | The corporate segment includes certain interest income, management fee and corporate expense amounts. |
Financial highlights by operating segment are summarized below:

Note 35—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the guidance in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers.
Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts.
The FASB has issued several amendments to the new revenue standard ASU 2014-09, including:
| • | In May 2014, ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2015-14”). This update deferred the initial effective date of ASU 2014-09. As a result of the issuance of ASU 2015-14, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. |
| • | In March 2015, ASU 2016-08, Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments to this update are intended to improve the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09 by clarifying how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e. the specified good or service) and how an entity should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. |
| • | In May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments to this update clarify certain core recognition principles and provide practical expedients available at transition. The improvements address collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition. |
The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, and the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
F-62
ASU 2016-01 requires that:
| • | All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) with readily determinable fair values will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. |
| • | When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The accumulated gains and losses due to these changes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings if the financial liability is settled before maturity. |
| • | For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, public business entities will be required to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. |
| • | Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or fair value) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities). |
| • | Public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost. |
| • | Entities will have to assess the realizability of a deferred tax asset related to a debt security classified as available for sale in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. |
The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income is permitted and can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including:
| • | Modifies the accounting for income taxes relating to share-based payments. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of income. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in capital; tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or in the consolidated statement of income in the period they reduce income taxes payable. |
| • | Changes the classification of excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity. |
| • | Changes the requirement to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. Under ASC 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest as presently required or account for forfeitures when they occur. Under current GAAP, accruals of compensation cost are based on the number of awards that are expected to vest. |
| • | Changes the tax withholding requirements for share-based payment awards to qualify for equity accounting. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Under current GAAP, for an award to qualify for equity classification is that an entity cannot partially settle the award in cash in excess of the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements. |
| • | Establishes GAAP for the classification of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax- withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This guidance establishes GAAP related to the classification of withholding taxes in the statement of cash flows as there is no such guidance under current GAAP. |
ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
F-63
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.
Under GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities.
ASU 2014-15 extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on (1) how to perform a going-concern assessment and (2) when going-concern disclosures are required under GAAP.
Under ASU 2014-15, an entity would be required to evaluate its status as a going concern as part of its periodic financial statement preparation process and would be required to disclose information about its potential inability to continue as a going concern when “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern for the period of one year from the earlier of the date its financial statements are issued or are ready to be issued.
If management concludes that there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,” it must disclose the principal conditions or events causing substantial doubt to be raised, management’s evaluation of the conditions and management’s plans. If substantial doubt is not alleviated as a result of management’s plans, the entity is required to include a statement that there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” ASU 2014-15 also requires an entity to disclose how the substantial doubt was resolved in the period that substantial doubt no longer exists.
ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2016. The requirements of ASU 2014-15 are not expected to have an effect on the financial statements of the Company upon adoption.
Note 36—Parent Company Information
The Company’s debt financing agreements require PMT and certain of its subsidiaries to comply with financial covenants that include a minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $860 million; a minimum tangible net worth for the Company’s subsidiaries including the Operating Partnership of $700 million (net worth was $1.4 billion, which includes PMH and PMC); a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million (net worth was $835 million); and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $150 million (net worth was $1.1 billion). The Company’s subsidiaries are limited from transferring funds to the Parent by these minimum tangible net worth requirements.
