ORGANIZATION | |
Organization | NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Walker & Dunlop” and the “Company” mean the Walker & Dunlop consolidated companies. The statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise noted herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the Company in the interim periods presented have been included. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or thereafter. Walker & Dunlop, Inc. is a holding company and conducts the majority of its operations through Walker & Dunlop, LLC, the operating company. Walker & Dunlop is one of the leading commercial real estate services and finance companies in the United States. The Company originates, sells, and services a range of multifamily and other commercial real estate financing products, provides multifamily investment sales brokerage services, and engages in commercial real estate investment management activities. The Company originates and sells loans pursuant to the programs of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac,” and together with Fannie Mae, the “GSEs”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, “HUD”). The Company brokers, and in some cases services, loans for various life insurance companies, commercial banks, commercial mortgage backed securities issuers, and other institutional investors, in which cases the Company does not fund the loan. The Company also offers a proprietary loan program offering interim loans (the “Interim Program”). During the second quarter of 2017, the Company formed a joint venture with an affiliate of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. to originate, hold, and finance loans that meet the criteria of the Interim Program (the “Interim Program JV”). The Interim Program JV assumes full risk of loss while the loans it originates are outstanding. The Company holds a 15% ownership interest in the Interim Program JV and is responsible for sourcing, underwriting, servicing, and asset-managing the loans originated by the joint venture. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company acquired JCR Capital Inve stment Corporation and subsidiaries (“JCR”), the operator of a private commercial real estate investment adviser. JCR, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is engaged in the management of debt, preferred equity, and mezzanine equity investments in middle-market commercial real estate funds. The operating results of JCR were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidation —The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Walker & Dunlop, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. When the Company has significant influence over operating and financial decisions for an entity but does not have control over the entity or own a majority of the voting interests, the Company accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting. Subsequent Events —The Company has evaluated the effects of all events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2018. There have been no material events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2018. No other material subsequent events have occurred that would require disclosure. Use of Estimates —The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, including allowance for risk-sharing obligations, capitalized mortgage servicing rights, derivative instruments, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates. Contracts with Customers —Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is not significant and derived from contracts with customers. The Company’s contracts with customers do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The Company had no contract assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following table presents information about the Company’s contracts with customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the three months ended For the nine months ended (in thousands) September 30, September 30, Description 2018 2017 2018 2017 Statement of income line item Certain loan origination fees $ 15,981 $ 13,358 $ 39,637 $ 36,811 Gains from mortgage banking activities Investment sales broker fees, investment management fees, assumption fees, application fees, and other 11,927 7,633 24,345 17,050 Other revenues Total revenues derived from contracts with customers $ 27,908 $ 20,991 $ 63,982 $ 53,861 Loans Held for Investment, net — Loans held for investment are multifamily loans originated by the Company through the Interim Program for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent GSE or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) financing. These loans have terms of generally up to three years and are all multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics. As of September 30, 2018, Loans held for investment, net consisted of ten loans with an aggregate $204.6 million of unpaid principal balance less $0.7 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $0.1 million of allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2017, Loans held for investment, net consisted of five loans with an aggregate $67.0 million of unpaid principal balance less $0.4 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $0.1 million of allowance for loan losses. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company transferred a portfolio of participating interests in loans held for investment to a third party. The Company accounted for the transfer as a secured borrowing. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans of $77.8 million is presented as a component of Loans held for investment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018, and the secured borrowing of $70.1 million is included within Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018. The Company does not have credit risk related to the $70.1 million of loans that were transferred. None of the loans held for investment was delinquent, impaired, or on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Additionally, we have not experienced any delinquencies related to these loans or charged off any loan held for investment since the inception of the Interim Program in 2012. The allowances for loan losses recorded as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were based on the Company’s collective assessment of the portfolio. Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses— The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for risk-sharing obligations within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 5 contains additional discussion related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. Provision (benefit) for credit losses consisted of the following activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Provision (benefit) for loan losses $ 4 $ (100) $ 69 $ (290) Provision for risk-sharing obligations 515 109 773 74 Provision (benefit) for credit losses $ 519 $ 9 $ 842 $ (216) Net Warehouse Interest Income— The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Substantially all loans that are held for sale are financed with matched borrowings under our warehouse facilities incurred to fund a specific loan held for sale. A portion of all loans that are held for investment is financed with matched borrowings under our warehouse facilities. The portion of loans held for sale or investment not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment during the period of time the loan is outstanding. Included in Net warehouse interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are the following components: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Warehouse interest income - loans held for sale $ 16,684 $ 15,263 $ 36,830 $ 36,616 Warehouse interest expense - loans held for sale (14,389) (11,776) (31,945) (27,024) Net warehouse interest income - loans held for sale $ 2,295 $ 3,487 $ 4,885 $ 9,592 Warehouse interest income - loans held for investment $ 3,169 $ 3,213 $ 6,238 $ 13,205 Warehouse interest expense - loans held for investment (1,584) (1,342) (2,994) (5,019) Net warehouse interest income - loans held for investment $ 1,585 $ 1,871 $ 3,244 $ 8,186 Total net warehouse interest income $ 3,880 $ 5,358 $ 8,129 $ 17,778 Income Taxes —The Company records the excess tax benefits from stock compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The Company recorded excess tax benefits of $0.9 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $6.7 million and $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted. Tax Reform changed the rules related to the deductibility of executive compensation under the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax Reform also contains provisions for determining whether compensation agreements executed prior to Tax Reform follow the guidance prior or subsequent to Tax Reform. During the third quarter of 2018, the Treasury Department issued initial guidance for determining, among other things, whether a compensation agreement in place prior to Tax Reform follows the guidance prior or subsequent to Tax Reform. The deductibility of certain of the Company’s compensation agreements with its executives may be impacted by the Treasury guidance upon finalization. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has provisionally recorded approximately $2.6 million of deferred tax assets related to such compensation agreements. The Company expects the accounting for these deferred tax assets to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 once the Treasury guidance is finalized. Pledged Securities, at Fair Value — Pledged securities, at fair value consisted of the following balances as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 and December 31, 2017 and 2016: September 30, December 31, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2017 2016 Pledged cash and cash equivalents: Restricted cash $ 3,434 $ 1,969 $ 2,201 $ 4,358 Money market funds 36,891 91,031 86,584 78,384 Total pledged cash and cash equivalents $ 40,325 $ 93,000 $ 88,785 $ 82,742 Agency debt securities 68,737 2,102 9,074 2,108 Total pledged securities, at fair value $ 109,062 $ 95,102 $ 97,859 $ 84,850 The investments in Agency debt securities consist of multifamily Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) and are all accounted for as available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities.

ASU 2016-02 represents a significant reform to the accounting for leases. Lessees initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and the lessee’s initial direct costs. Lessees generally recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis, which is similar to the accounting treatment today. ASU 2016-02 requires additional disclosures and is effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The new lease standard requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recorded at the earliest comparative period. During the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 (“ASU 2018-11”), Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases was issued. ASU 2018-11 provides companies with the option to apply a practical expedient that allows adoption of the provisions of ASU 2016-02 prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon the date of adoption. The Company intends to adopt the standard when required on January 1, 2019 and to elect the available practical expedients, including ASU 2018-11. The Company has completed its analysis of the new standard and expects to be ready in time for the adoption next year. The Company is also in the process of analyzing the disclosures that will be required for the new standard. The Company expects ASU 2016-02 to have an impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets similar to the amount quantified in the 2017 Form 10-K when it recognizes ROU assets and the corresponding lease liabilities. The Company expects an immaterial impact on the statements of income. There will be no change to the classification of the Company’s leases, which are all currently classified as operating leases. In the second quarter of 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments was issued. ASU 2016-13 ("the Standard") represents a significant change to the incurred loss model currently used to account for credit losses. The Standard requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of the credit exposure upon initial recognition of that exposure. The expected credit losses consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Exposures with similar risk characteristics are required to be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. The initial estimate and subsequent changes to the estimated credit losses are required to be reported in current earnings in the income statement and through an allowance on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-13 is applicable to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The Standard will modify the way the Company estimates its allowance for risk-sharing obligations and its allowance for loan losses and the way it assesses impairment on its pledged AFS securities. ASU 2016-13 requires modified retrospective application to all outstanding, in-scope instruments, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company plans on adopting ASU 2016-13 when the standard is required to be adopted, January 1, 2020. The Company is in the preliminary stages of implementation as it is still in the process of determining the significance of the impact the Standard will have on its financial statements. The Company expects its allowance for risk-sharing obligations to increase when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. In the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement was issued. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the following disclosure requirements; (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and (ii) the entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 adds, among other things, the requirement to (i) provide information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date rather than a point in the future, (ii) disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses related to Level 3 measurements for the period included in other comprehensive income, and (iii) disclose for Level 3 measurements the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs and the way it is calculated. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company early-adopted ASU 2018-13 during the third quarter of 2018 with little impact to its disclosures as the Company has not historically had transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or adjustments to its Level 3 fair value measurements due to unobservable inputs and does not have any Level 3 assets with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. In the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract was issued. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, and the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs is recorded in the same line in the financial statements as the cloud service cost. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the impact ASU 2018-15 will have on its financial statements and when it will adopt ASU 2018-15. There are no other accounting pronouncements previously issued by the FASB but not yet effective or not yet adopted by the Company that have the potential to materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the accounting policies discussed in NOTE 2 of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. Reclassifications — The Company has made certain immaterial reclassifications to prior-year balances to conform to current-year presentation . |

Mortgage Servicing Rights | |
Mortgage Servicing Rights | NOTE 4—MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent the carrying value of the servicing rights retained by the Company for mortgage loans originated and sold. The initial capitalized amount is equal to the estimated fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with the servicing rights. MSRs are amortized using the interest method over the period that servicing income is expected to be received. The fair values of the MSRs at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $857.0 million and $834.5 million, respectively. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach, and the key economic assumption is the discount rate. For example, see the following sensitivities: The impact of a 100 - basis point increase in the discount rate at September 30, 2018 is a decrease in the fair value of $26.7 million. The impact of a 200 - basis point increase in the discount rate at September 30, 2018 is a decrease in the fair value of $55.4 million. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. These estimates do not include interplay among assumptions and are estimated as a portfolio rather than individual assets. Activity related to capitalized MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is shown in the table below: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ $ $ 634,756 $ 521,930 Additions, following the sale of loan 46,107 48,174 119,588 165,748 Purchases — — 1,814 — Amortization (33,157) (30,174) (98,119) (88,398) Pre-payments and write-offs (4,676) (3,250) (10,851) (11,371) Ending balance $ 647,188 $ $ 647,188 $ 587,909 The following tables summarize the components of the net carrying value of the Company’s acquired and originated MSRs as of September 30, 2018: As of September 30, 2018 Gross Accumulated Net (in thousands) carrying value amortization carrying value Acquired MSRs $ 185,529 $ (133,955) $ 51,574 Originated MSRs 884,918 (289,304) 595,614 Total $ 1,070,447 $ (423,259) $ 647,188 As of December 31, 2017 Gross Accumulated Net (in thousands) carrying value amortization carrying value Acquired MSRs $ 183,715 $ (121,643) $ 62,072 Originated MSRs 820,137 (247,453) 572,684 Total $ 1,003,852 $ (369,096) $ 634,756 The expected amortization of MSRs recorded as of September 30, 2018 is shown in the table below.

GUARANTY OBLIGATION AND ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS | |
Guaranty Obligation and Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations | NOTE 5—GUARANTY OBLIGATION AND ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS When a loan is sold under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing TM (“DUS”) program, the Company typically agrees to guarantee a portion of the ultimate loss incurred on the loan should the borrower fail to perform. The compensation for this risk is a component of the servicing fee on the loan. The guaranty is in force while the loan is outstanding. The Company does not provide a guaranty for any other loan product it sells or brokers. Activity related to the guaranty obligation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is presented in the following table: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 42,470 $ 36,492 $ 41,187 $ 32,292 Additions, following the sale of loan 4,078 3,596 9,147 11,332 Amortization (2,057) (1,776) (5,814) (5,242) Other (78) (12) (107) (82) Ending balance $ 44,413 $ 38,300 $ 44,413 $ 38,300 Activity related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is shown in the following table: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 4,070 $ 3,648 $ 3,783 $ 3,613 Provision for risk-sharing obligations 515 109 773 74 Write-offs — — — — Other 78 12 107 82 Ending balance $ 4,663 $ 3,769 $ 4,663 $ 3,769 When the Company places a loan for which it has a risk-sharing obligation on its watch list, the Company transfers the remaining unamortized balance of the guaranty obligation to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. When a loan for which the Company has a risk-sharing obligation is removed from the watch list, the loan’s reserve is transferred from the allowance for risk-sharing obligations back to the guaranty obligation, and the amortization of the remaining balance over the remaining estimated life is resumed. This net transfer of the unamortized balance of the guaranty obligation from a noncontingent classification to a contingent classification (and vice versa) is presented in the guaranty obligation and allowance for risk-sharing obligations tables above as “Other.” The Allowance for risk-sharing obligations as of September 30, 2018 is based primarily on the Company’s collective assessment of the probability of loss related to the loans on the watch list as of September 30, 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, Hurricane Florence made landfall in the United States, causing substantial damage to the affected areas. Located within the affected areas are multiple properties collateralizing loans for which the Company has risk-sharing obligations. Based on its preliminary assessment of these properties, the Company believes that few, if any, of these properties incurred significant damage, and those that did have adequate insurance coverage. Additionally, the Company has not experienced an increase in late payments from risk-sharing loans collateralized by properties in the affected areas. Accordingly, based on information currently available, the natural disaster did not have a material impact on the Allowance for risk-sharing obligations as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company does not believe that this natural disaster will have a material impact on its Allowance for risk-sharing obligations in the future. As of September 30, 2018, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability associated with the Company’s guarantees under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was $6.4 billion. The maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans were determined to be without value at the time of settlement. |

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company executed the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement related to Agency Warehouse Facility #1 that extended the maturity date to October 28, 2019 and lowered the interest rate to 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 120 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company executed the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement related to Agency Warehouse Facility #2 that extended the maturity date to September 9, 2019 and lowered the interest rate to 30-day LIBOR plus 120 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement in 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company executed the ninth amendment to the warehouse agreement related to Agency Warehouse Facility #3. The amendment extended the maturity date to April 30, 2019, increased the permanent committed borrowing capacity to $500.0 million, and established additional uncommitted borrowing capacity of $265.0 million. The uncommitted borrowing capacity expires on January 30, 2019. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company executed the fifth amendment to the warehouse agreement related to Agency Warehouse Facility #4 that extended the maturity date to October 5, 2019 and reduced the interest rate to 30-day LIBOR plus 120 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company executed the first amendment to the warehouse credit and security agreement related to Agency Warehouse Facility #5 that extended the maturity date to July 12, 2019. The amendment also provides the Company the unilateral option to extend the agreement for one additional year. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company executed a warehousing and security agreement to establish Agency Warehouse Facility #6. The warehouse facility has a committed $250.0 million maximum borrowing amount and is scheduled to mature on February 2, 2019. The Company can fund Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and FHA loans under the facility. Advances are made at 100% of the loan balance, and the borrowings under the warehouse agreement bear interest at a rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 130 basis points. The agreement provides $100.0 million of uncommitted borrowing capacity that bears interest at the same rate as the committed facility. No material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, an Agency warehouse line with a $500.0 million aggregate committed and uncommitted borrowing capacity expired according to its terms. The Company believes that the six remaining committed and uncommitted credit facilities from national banks and the uncommitted credit facility from Fannie Mae provide the Company with sufficient borrowing capacity to conduct its Agency lending operations. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company executed the eighth amendment to the credit and security agreement related to Interim Warehouse Facility #1 that extended the maturity date to April 30, 2019. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company executed the third amendment to the repurchase agreement related to Interim Warehouse Facility #3 that extended the maturity date to May 18, 2019 and lowered the minimum interest rate from 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points to 30-day LIBOR plus 190 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2018. The warehouse notes payable are subject to various financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of the current period end. |

The Company has not completed the accounting for the JCR transaction as it is still waiting for certain tax information from JCR’s final 2017 and partial-year 2018 tax returns to be finalized. The initial purchase price allocation contains provisional amounts related to income tax matters. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has fully amortized all material intangible assets obtained from acquisitions prior to the JCR acquisition. As of September 30, 2018, the balance of intangible assets acquired in the JCR acquisition was $2.6 million, which will be amortized evenly over their remaining life of approximately 4.5 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid $5.2 million to settle the contingent consideration liability from the first of three annual earn-out periods related to a previous acquisition. No payments were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The balance of contingent consideration liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $9.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of the amount initially recorded upon acquisition in the first quarter of 2017, net of any payments made. In October 2018, the Company executed a purchase agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of a mortgage banking company in the Southeast in exchange for $20.0 million cash. The Company expects this acquisition to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 9 Months Ended |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |
Fair Value Measurements | NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: · Level 1 —Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. · Level 2 —Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. · Level 3 —Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall valuation. The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. That is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The Company's MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of multifamily MSRs do occur on occasion, precise terms and conditions vary with each transaction and are not readily available. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs was developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency status, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts, when necessary, the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing an MSR asset. MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company's assets and liabilities carried at fair value: · Derivative Instruments —The derivative positions consist of interest rate lock commitments with borrowers and forward sale agreements to the Agencies. These instruments are valued using a discounted cash flow model developed based on changes in the applicable U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value was determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy . · Loans Held for Sale — Loans held for sale are reported at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of the loans held for sale using discounted cash flow models that incorporate quoted observable inputs from market participants. Therefore, the Company classifies these loans held for sale as Level 2 . · Pledged Securities —Investments in cash and money market funds are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. Therefore, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of its AFS investments in Agency debt securities using discounted cash flows that incorporate observable inputs from market participants. Consequently, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 2. The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value: Quoted Prices in Significant Significant Active Markets Other Other For Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Balance as of (in thousands) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Period End September 30, 2018 Assets Loans held for sale $ — $ 2,134,190 $ — $ 2,134,190 Pledged securities 40,325 68,737 — 109,062 Derivative assets — — 28,182 28,182 Total $ 40,325 $ 2,202,927 $ 28,182 $ 2,271,434 Liabilities Derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 524 $ 524 Total $ — $ — $ 524 $ 524 December 31, 2017 Assets Loans held for sale $ — $ 951,829 $ — $ 951,829 Pledged securities 88,785 9,074 — 97,859 Derivative assets — — 10,357 10,357 Total $ 88,785 $ 960,903 $ 10,357 $ 1,060,045 Liabilities Derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 1,850 $ 1,850 Total $ — $ — $ 1,850 $ 1,850 There were no transfers between any of the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Pledged Securities —Consist of cash, highly liquid investments in money market accounts invested in government securities, and investments in Agency debt securities. The investments of the money market funds typically have maturities of 90 days or less and are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. The fair value of the Agency debt securities incorporates the contractual cash flows of the security discounted at market-rate, risk-adjusted yields. Loans Held for Sale —Consist of originated loans that are generally transferred or sold within 60 days from the date that the mortgage loan is funded and are valued using discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable inputs from market participants. Loans Held f or Investment —Consist of originated interim loans which the Company expects to hold for investment for the term of the loan, which is three years or less, and are valued using discounted cash flow models that incorporate primarily observable inputs from market participants and also credit-related adjustments, if applicable (Level 3). As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no credit-related adjustments were required. Derivative Instruments — Consist of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale agreements. These instruments are valued using discounted cash flow models developed based on changes in the U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value is determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company . Secured borrowings —Consist of liabilities associated with loans transferred to a third party but accounted for as secured borrowings. The borrowing rates on the secured borrowings are based upon 30-day LIBOR plus a margin. The unpaid principal balance of secured borrowings approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments and the monthly resetting of the index rate to prevailing market rates (Level 2). Warehouse Notes Payable —Consist of borrowings outstanding under warehouse line agreements. The borrowing rates on the warehouse lines are based upon 30-day LIBOR plus a margin. The unpaid principal balance of warehouse notes payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments and the monthly resetting of the index rate to prevailing market rates (Level 2). Note Payable —Consists of borrowings outstanding under a term note agreement. The borrowing rate on the note payable is based upon 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Company estimates the fair value by discounting the future cash flows at market rates (Level 2). Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Loans Held for Sale — In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments to originate and sell multifamily mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by the Company. All mortgagors are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor . To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company's policy is to enter into a sale commitment with the investor simultaneous with the rate lock commitment with the borrower. The sale contract with the investor locks in an interest rate and price for the sale of the loan. The terms of the contract with the investor and the rate lock with the borrower are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating interest rate risk to the extent practical. Sale commitments with the investors have an expiration date that is longer than our related commitments to the borrower to allow, among other things, for the closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan into the sale commitment . Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to buyers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through Gains on mortgage banking activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable : · the estimated gain from the expected loan sale to the investor (Level 2); · the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan, net of any guaranty obligations retained (Level 2); · the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and · the nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company (Level 3; derivative instruments only). The estimated gain considers the origination fees the Company expects to collect upon loan closing (derivative instruments only) and premiums the Company expects to receive upon loan sale (Level 2). The fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques applicable to MSRs (Level 2). The fair value of the Company's derivative instruments and loans held for sale considers the effects of the market price movement of the same type of security due to interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date. To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company uses applicable published U.S. Treasury prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date or loan origination date and the balance sheet date by the notional amount of the derivative instruments or loans held for sale (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. The Company’s exposure to nonperformance in interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of our counterparties and the short duration of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts, the risk of nonperformance by the Company’s counterparties has historically been minimal (Level 3) . The following table presents the components of fair value and other relevant information associated with the Company’s derivative instruments and loans held for sale as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies | NOTE 10—LITIGATION, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES Fannie Mae DUS Related Commitments —Commitments for the origination and subsequent sale and delivery of loans to Fannie Mae represent those mortgage loan transactions where the borrower has locked an interest rate and scheduled closing and the Company has entered into a mandatory delivery commitment to sell the loan to Fannie Mae. As discussed in NOTE 9, the Company accounts for these commitments as derivatives recorded at fair value. The Company is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program. The Company is required to secure these obligations by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae, which are classified as Pledged securities, at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires restricted liquidity for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Pledged securities held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries is discounted 5%, and Agency MBS are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the restricted liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2018, the Company held the majority of its pledged securities in Agency MBS. NOTE 2 provides a detail of the types of financial assets pledged to Fannie Mae to meet the restricted liquidity requirements. The majority of the loans for which the Company has risk sharing are Tier 2 loans. The Company is in compliance with the September 30, 2018 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of September 30, 2018, reserve requirements for the DUS loan portfolio will require the Company to fund $65.2 million in additional pledged securities over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within the at risk portfolio. Fannie Mae periodically reassesses the DUS Capital Standards and may make changes to these standards in the future. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet these capital standards and does not expect any future changes to have a material impact on its future operations; however, any future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact the Company’s available cash. Fannie Mae has established standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate the Company's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if at any time it determines that the Company's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligations under the DUS agreement. The Company is required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the agreement, and the Company satisfied the requirements as of September 30, 2018. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk sharing. At September 30, 2018, the net worth requirement was $168.1 million, and the Company's net worth, as defined in the requirements, was $724.1 million, as measured at our wholly owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was required to maintain at least $33.1 million of liquid assets to meet operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and Ginnie Mae . As of September 30, 2018, the Company had operational liquidity, as defined in the requirements, of $170.0 million , as measured at our wholly owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC . Litigation — In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which the Company believes is material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and the Company’s reputation and business may be impacted. The Company believes that any liability that could be imposed on the Company in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition. |

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock over a 12-month period. During 2018, the Company has repurchased 75 thousand shares of its common stock under the 2018 share repurchase program at a weighted average price of $54.01 per share and immediately retired the shares, reducing stockholders’ equity by $4.1 million. The Company had $45.9 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining as of September 30, 2018. In 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors has declared aggregate cash dividends of $1.00 per share ($0.25 per share for each quarter during 2018). These dividends represent the first dividend payments the Company has made since its initial public offering in December 2010. The dividends are paid to all holders of record of our restricted and unrestricted common stock and restricted stock units. The dividend for the fourth quarter of 2018 was declared in October and will be paid in December. The Company expects the dividends paid during 2018 to be an insignificant portion of the Company’s net income, retained earnings, and cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s note payable contains direct restrictions to the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and the warehouse credit facilities and agreements with the Agencies contain minimum equity, liquidity, and other capital requirements that indirectly restrict the amount of dividends the Company may pay . The Company does not believe that these restrictions currently limit the amount of dividends the Company intends to pay for the foreseeable future. |

There have been no material events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2018. No other material subsequent events have occurred that would require disclosure. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates —The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, including allowance for risk-sharing obligations, capitalized mortgage servicing rights, derivative instruments, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates. |
Contracts with Customers | Contracts with Customers —Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is not significant and derived from contracts with customers. The Company’s contracts with customers do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The Company had no contract assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Loans Held for Investment, net | Loans Held for Investment, net — Loans held for investment are multifamily loans originated by the Company through the Interim Program for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent GSE or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) financing. These loans have terms of generally up to three years and are all multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics. As of September 30, 2018, Loans held for investment, net consisted of ten loans with an aggregate $204.6 million of unpaid principal balance less $0.7 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $0.1 million of allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2017, Loans held for investment, net consisted of five loans with an aggregate $67.0 million of unpaid principal balance less $0.4 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $0.1 million of allowance for loan losses. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company transferred a portfolio of participating interests in loans held for investment to a third party. The Company accounted for the transfer as a secured borrowing. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans of $77.8 million is presented as a component of Loans held for investment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018, and the secured borrowing of $70.1 million is included within Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018. The Company does not have credit risk related to the $70.1 million of loans that were transferred. None of the loans held for investment was delinquent, impaired, or on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Additionally, we have not experienced any delinquencies related to these loans or charged off any loan held for investment since the inception of the Interim Program in 2012. The allowances for loan losses recorded as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were based on the Company’s collective assessment of the portfolio. |
Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses | Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses— The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for risk-sharing obligations within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Warehouse Interest Income | Net Warehouse Interest Income— The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Substantially all loans that are held for sale are financed with matched borrowings under our warehouse facilities incurred to fund a specific loan held for sale. A portion of all loans that are held for investment is financed with matched borrowings under our warehouse facilities. The portion of loans held for sale or investment not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment during the period of time the loan is outstanding. Included in Net warehouse interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are the following components: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Warehouse interest income - loans held for sale $ 16,684 $ 15,263 $ 36,830 $ 36,616 Warehouse interest expense - loans held for sale (14,389) (11,776) (31,945) (27,024) Net warehouse interest income - loans held for sale $ 2,295 $ 3,487 $ 4,885 $ 9,592 Warehouse interest income - loans held for investment $ 3,169 $ 3,213 $ 6,238 $ 13,205 Warehouse interest expense - loans held for investment (1,584) (1,342) (2,994) (5,019) Net warehouse interest income - loans held for investment $ 1,585 $ 1,871 $ 3,244 $ 8,186 Total net warehouse interest income $ 3,880 $ 5,358 $ 8,129 $ 17,778 |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes —The Company records the excess tax benefits from stock compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The Company recorded excess tax benefits of $0.9 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $6.7 million and $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted. Tax Reform changed the rules related to the deductibility of executive compensation under the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax Reform also contains provisions for determining whether compensation agreements executed prior to Tax Reform follow the guidance prior or subsequent to Tax Reform. During the third quarter of 2018, the Treasury Department issued initial guidance for determining, among other things, whether a compensation agreement in place prior to Tax Reform follows the guidance prior or subsequent to Tax Reform. The deductibility of certain of the Company’s compensation agreements with its executives may be impacted by the Treasury guidance upon finalization. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has provisionally recorded approximately $2.6 million of deferred tax assets related to such compensation agreements. The Company expects the accounting for these deferred tax assets to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 once the Treasury guidance is finalized. |

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncement s —In the first quarter of 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842) was issued. ASU 2016-02 represents a significant reform to the accounting for leases. Lessees initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and the lessee’s initial direct costs. Lessees generally recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis, which is similar to the accounting treatment today. ASU 2016-02 requires additional disclosures and is effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The new lease standard requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recorded at the earliest comparative period. During the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 (“ASU 2018-11”), Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases was issued. ASU 2018-11 provides companies with the option to apply a practical expedient that allows adoption of the provisions of ASU 2016-02 prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon the date of adoption. The Company intends to adopt the standard when required on January 1, 2019 and to elect the available practical expedients, including ASU 2018-11. The Company has completed its analysis of the new standard and expects to be ready in time for the adoption next year. The Company is also in the process of analyzing the disclosures that will be required for the new standard. The Company expects ASU 2016-02 to have an impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets similar to the amount quantified in the 2017 Form 10-K when it recognizes ROU assets and the corresponding lease liabilities. The Company expects an immaterial impact on the statements of income. There will be no change to the classification of the Company’s leases, which are all currently classified as operating leases. In the second quarter of 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments was issued. ASU 2016-13 ("the Standard") represents a significant change to the incurred loss model currently used to account for credit losses. The Standard requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of the credit exposure upon initial recognition of that exposure. The expected credit losses consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Exposures with similar risk characteristics are required to be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. The initial estimate and subsequent changes to the estimated credit losses are required to be reported in current earnings in the income statement and through an allowance on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-13 is applicable to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The Standard will modify the way the Company estimates its allowance for risk-sharing obligations and its allowance for loan losses and the way it assesses impairment on its pledged AFS securities. ASU 2016-13 requires modified retrospective application to all outstanding, in-scope instruments, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company plans on adopting ASU 2016-13 when the standard is required to be adopted, January 1, 2020. The Company is in the preliminary stages of implementation as it is still in the process of determining the significance of the impact the Standard will have on its financial statements. The Company expects its allowance for risk-sharing obligations to increase when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. In the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement was issued. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the following disclosure requirements; (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and (ii) the entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 adds, among other things, the requirement to (i) provide information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date rather than a point in the future, (ii) disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses related to Level 3 measurements for the period included in other comprehensive income, and (iii) disclose for Level 3 measurements the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs and the way it is calculated. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company early-adopted ASU 2018-13 during the third quarter of 2018 with little impact to its disclosures as the Company has not historically had transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or adjustments to its Level 3 fair value measurements due to unobservable inputs and does not have any Level 3 assets with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. In the third quarter of 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract was issued. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, and the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs is recorded in the same line in the financial statements as the cloud service cost. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the impact ASU 2018-15 will have on its financial statements and when it will adopt ASU 2018-15. There are no other accounting pronouncements previously issued by the FASB but not yet effective or not yet adopted by the Company that have the potential to materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the accounting policies discussed in NOTE 2 of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. |
