NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

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 (“shares”). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets.

The Company operates in two segments: correspondent lending and investment activities:

 

    The correspondent lending 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 mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS” or “Servicer”), both subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”).

Most of the loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent lending activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and 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 investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage-related assets, which include distressed mortgage loans, real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”), MBS, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and excess servicing spread (“ESS”). The Company seeks to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that it acquires through proprietary loan modification programs, special servicing or other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes. Where this is not possible, such as in the case of many nonperforming mortgage loans, the Company seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner, including through the use of resolution alternatives to foreclosure.

The Company is externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that specializes in and focuses on residential mortgage loans. Under the terms of a management agreement, PCM is paid a management fee with a base component and a performance incentive component.

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 (the “Internal Revenue Code”), 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.

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 accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Annual Report”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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.

Table of Contents

Reclassification of previously presented balances

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically:

 

    Interest expense is included with Interest income under a new caption, Net interest income, to better reflect the Company’s results due to growth in its portfolio of interest-earning assets. This reclassification results in the presentation of Net interest income in Net investment income and a decrease in Expenses.

Note 2—Concentration of Risks

As discussed in Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in mortgage-related assets, a substantial portion of which are distressed at acquisition. Many of the mortgage loans in its targeted asset class are purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies.

Because of the Company’s investment focus, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks 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 to the effects of fluctuations in the residential real estate market on the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:

 

    changes in the overall economy and 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 the Company’s loan servicers’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of problem mortgage loans;

 

7


Table of Contents
    the accuracy of valuation information obtained during the Company’s due diligence activities;

 

    PCM’s ability to effectively model, and to develop appropriate model assumptions that properly anticipate, future outcomes;

 

    the level of government support for problem loan resolution 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 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 has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. The following tables present purchases for the Company’s investment portfolio of mortgage loans and REO (including purchases under forward purchase agreements), and the portion thereof representing assets purchased from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.:

Other Transactions

In connection with the initial public offering of PMT’s common shares (“IPO”) on August 4, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with PFSI pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse PFSI for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the IPO underwriters if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period (the “Conditional

Table of Contents

Reimbursement”). Effective February 1, 2013, the Company amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement of PFSI of the Conditional Reimbursement if the Company is required to pay PFSI performance incentive fees under the management agreement at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement of the Conditional Reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $1.0 million and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid $36,000 to PFSI.

The reimbursement agreement also provides for the payment to the underwriters in such offering of the payment that the Company agreed to make to them at the time of the offering if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period. As PFSI earns performance incentive fees under the management agreement, such underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by PFSI. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid $72,000 to the underwriters.

In the event the termination fee is payable to PFSI under the management agreement and PFSI and the underwriters have not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.

The Company reimburses PFSI and its affiliates for other expenses, including common overhead expenses and other expenses incurred on its behalf by PFSI, in accordance with the terms of its management agreement as summarized below:

Note 4—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined 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 using net income reduced by income attributable to the participating securities and divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. 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 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.

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 “Notes”), by the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially 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:

Note 5—Loan Sales

The Company is a variable interest holder in various special purpose entities that relate to its loan transfer and financing activities. The Company has segregated its involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) between those VIEs which the Company does not consolidate and those VIEs which the Company consolidates.

Consolidated VIE

On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction in which a wholly-owned VIE issued $537.0 million in offered certificates backed by fixed rate prime jumbo mortgage loans of PMT Loan Trust 2013-J1, at a 3.9% weighted yield. The Company retained $366.8 million of those certificates. Management concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and, as a result, the Company consolidates the VIE. Consolidation of the VIE results in the securitized mortgage loans remaining on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and the certificates issued by the VIE to nonaffiliates being accounted for as secured financing. The certificates are secured solely by the assets of the VIE and not by any other assets of the Company. The assets of the VIE are the only source of funds for repayment of the certificates.

The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the VIE. Intercompany balances have been eliminated for purposes of this presentation.

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk created by its interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”), mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, MBS, ESS and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company has elected to net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained (or posted) by (or 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.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets

Note 7—Fair Value

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated 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 management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets and MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% to be accounted for at estimated fair value. Management has elected to account for these financial statement items 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. Management has also identified its asset-backed secured financing of the variable interest entity 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 held by variable interest entity which are also carried at fair value.

For MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5%, management concluded that such assets present different risks to the Company than MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Management’s risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ values. Management has identified these assets for accounting at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

Table of Contents

The Company’s risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are generally aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, derivatives were used to hedge the fair value changes of the MSRs.

For assets sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowings under forward purchase agreements and the Notes, management 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 usage of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

The Company measures its investment in REO at the respective properties’ estimated fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is measured by cost in the case of purchased REO or by the fair value of the property at the time of 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 management 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 value at which the property was initially recorded is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the 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 assets’ fair value. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair

Table of Contents

value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into pools of mortgage loans with 50 basis point interest rate ranges for fixed-rate mortgage loans with interest rates between 3% and 4.5% and a single pool for mortgage loans with interest rates below 3%. 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 for that pool reduced by the existing valuation allowance, 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 value of the MSRs subsequently increases, the increase in value is recognized in current period income only to the extent of the valuation allowance for the respective impairment stratum.

Management periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover. When management deems recovery of the 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 balances as well as certain of its borrowings are carried at amortized cost. Management has concluded that the estimated fair values of Cash, Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loans at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity sold under agreements to repurchase, Real estate acquired in settlement of loans financed under agreements to repurchase, and Borrowings under forward purchase agreements 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.

Cash is measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company’s assets sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings under forward purchase agreements are carried at amortized cost. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of March 31, 2014 due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values.

Exchangeable Senior Notes are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of the Notes at March 31, 2014 was $242.0 million. The fair value of the Notes is estimated using a broker indication of value. The Company has classified the Notes as “Level 3” financial statement items as of March 31, 2014 due to the lack of current market activity and the reliance on the broker’s quote to estimate the instrument’s fair values.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

Most of the Company’s assets and a portion of its liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of those items are “Level 3” financial statement items which require the use of significant unobservable inputs in the estimation of the assets’ and liabilities’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

PFSI has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items to its Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”), which is responsible for valuing and monitoring the Company’s investment portfolios and maintenance of its valuation policies and procedures.

The FAV group reports to PFSI’s valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The valuation committee includes the chief executive, financial, operating, credit, and asset/liability management officers of PFSI. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” financial statement items, including the models’ performance versus actual results and reports those results to the valuation committee. The results developed in the FAV group’s monitoring activities are used to calibrate subsequent projections used for valuation.

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to PFSI’s valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the Level 3 assets and liabilities it values, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and assumptions. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of each of the changes to the significant inputs to the valuation models.

Table of Contents

The following describes the valuation techniques and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of Level 2 and Level 3 financial statement items:

Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company’s MBS securities are presently Agency MBS. Agency MBS are categorized as “Level 2” financial statement items. Fair value of Agency MBS is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

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 by variable interest entity, are categorized as “Level 2” financial statement items. The fair values of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value are estimated using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent. For mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity, the fair values of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a price for the mortgage loans.

 

    Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value, are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items 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 or contracted selling price, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds and loss severities.

The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of loan population 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 input variables such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the loan valuation. The results of the estimates of fair value of “Level 3” mortgage loans are reported to PFSI’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results.

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 loan’s delinquency status at period-end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements 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 loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” financial statement item. 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 could 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 value when interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the loans underlying the ESS, thereby reducing ESS value. Reductions in the value of ESS affect income primarily through change in fair value.

Interest income for ESS is accrued using the interest method, based upon the expected interest yield from the ESS through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to expected interest yield result in a change in interest income which is recorded in Interest income. Changes to expected cash flows result in a change to fair value that is recognized in Net gain (loss) on investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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 loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will be purchased as a percentage of the commitments it has made (the “pull-through rate”). The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” financial statement items.

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 value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in a significant change in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these assumptions 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 loans that have decreased in fair value.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell loans based on quoted MBS prices. The Company estimates the fair value of the interest rate options and futures it purchases and sells based on observed interest rate volatilities in the MBS market.

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” financial statement item. Fair value of REO is estimated by using a current estimate of value from a broker’s price opinion or a full appraisal, or the price given in a current contract of sale.

 

29


Table of Contents

REO values are reviewed by PCM’s staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of value and there is a significant difference between the values received. PCM’s staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of value. In circumstances where the appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a value conclusion, the staff appraisers will order an additional appraisal to determine the value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the Company’s discounted cash flow model are based on market factors which management believes are consistent with inputs and data used by market participants valuing similar MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment and default rates of the underlying loans, the applicable pricing spread or discount rate, 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. The results of the estimates of fair value of MSRs are reported to PFSI’s valuation committee as part of their review and approval of monthly valuation results.

MSRs are generally subject to loss in value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing MSR value. Reductions in the value of MSRs affect income primarily through change in fair value and impairment charges. 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 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 of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance plus interest earned during the period it holds each such loan.

Note 9—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to price risk relative to its mortgage loans acquired for sale as well as to the IRLCs it issues to correspondent lenders. The Company bears price risk from the time an IRLC is issued to a correspondent lender to the time the purchased mortgage loan is sold. During this period, the Company is exposed to losses if mortgage interest rates increase because the value of the purchase commitment or mortgage loan acquired for sale decreases.

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. 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 IRLCs and inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale.

The Company is also exposed to risk relative to the fair value of its MSRs. The Company is exposed to loss in value of its MSRs when interest rates decrease. The Company periodically includes MSRs in its hedging activities.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into Eurodollar futures, which settle daily, to economically hedge net fair value changes of a portion of fixed-rate mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity and MBS securities at fair value and the related variable rate repurchase agreement liabilities indexed to LIBOR. The Company uses the Eurodollar futures with the intention of moderating the risk of rising market interest rates that will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s fixed-rate assets and economic performance of its LIBOR-indexed variable interest rate repurchase agreement liabilities.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities other than IRLCs, which are generated in the normal course of business when the Company commits to purchase mortgage loans acquired for sale. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

Note 27—Share-Based Compensation Plans

On March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had one share-based compensation plan. Compensation expense relating to grants under the plan of $2.6 million and $1.8 million, which includes dividend equivalents paid to unvested restricted share unit holders, was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company issued no new grants and had vestings of 84,437 and 85,769 units during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 28—Income Taxes

The Company had a tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a tax expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company’s effective tax rate was (4.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 4.7% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior period in 2013 is due primarily to a loss in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary for the first quarter of 2014 compared to income in that entity for the same period in 2013. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is non-taxable REIT income resulting from the deduction for dividends paid.

In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

Note 29—Segments and Related Information

The Company has two segments: correspondent lending and investment activities.

 

    The correspondent lending 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 PCM and PLS, both subsidiaries of PFSI.

Most of the loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent lending activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or through government agencies such as Ginnie Mae.

 

    The investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage-related assets, which include distressed mortgage loans, REO, MBS, MSRs and ESS. The Company seeks to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that it acquires through proprietary loan modification programs, special servicing or other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes. Where this is not possible, such as in the case of many nonperforming mortgage loans, the Company seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner, including through the use of resolution alternatives to foreclosure.

Note 31—Regulatory Net Worth

PMC is a seller-servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. To retain its status as an approved seller-servicer, PMC is required to meet Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s capital standards, which require PMC to maintain a minimum net worth of $53.0 million and $20.6 million, respectively. Management believes that PMC complies with Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s net worth requirement as of March 31, 2014.

Note 32—Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated all events and transactions through the date the Company issued these consolidated financial statements. During this period:

 

    On May 8, 2014, the Company purchased a pool of nonperforming mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $37.9 million.

 

    On April 29, 2014, PFSI entered into a letter of intent with a third party to purchase a $3.5 billion unpaid principal balance portfolio of Ginnie Mae MSRs. The Company intends to purchase from PFSI approximately $26 million of ESS from this MSR portfolio. The MSR acquisition by PFSI and the Company’s purchase of ESS are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, continuing due diligence and customary closing conditions and approvals. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

 

    All agreements to repurchase assets that matured between March 31, 2014 and the date of this Report were extended or renewed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are a specialty finance company that invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, principally through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. We intend to achieve this objective largely by investing in distressed mortgage assets and acquiring, pooling and selling newly originated prime credit quality residential mortgage loans (“correspondent lending”).

We are externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on, residential mortgage loans. Most of our mortgage loan portfolio is serviced by PLS, an affiliate of PCM.

We invest in distressed mortgage loans through direct acquisitions of mortgage loan portfolios from institutions such as banks and mortgage companies. A substantial portion of the nonperforming loans we have purchased has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.

We seek to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that we acquire using means that are appropriate for the particular loan, including both proprietary and nonproprietary loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on avoiding foreclosure, when possible. When we are unable to effect a cure for a mortgage delinquency, our objective is to effect timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the loan through the use, in part, of short sales and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $257.2 million, and we received proceeds from sales, liquidation, and payoffs from our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans and REO totaling $285.6 million.

Changes in the mortgage market have significantly reduced the outlets for sales of newly originated mortgage loans by mortgage lenders who have traditionally sold their loans to larger mortgage companies and banks who, in turn, sold those loans to Agencies and other investors or into securitizations. We believe that these changes are due in part to banks’ responses to changes in regulatory requirements and to loan and securitization-related capital requirements, along with a change in focus toward retail lending; and that the changes provide us with the opportunity to act as a link between loan originators and the Agency and securitization markets.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we purchased loans with fair values totaling $5.0 billion, in furtherance of our correspondent lending business. To the extent that we purchase loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), through the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (“VA”), we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer and servicer and we are not. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent lenders that purchase both government and conventional loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance of each loan that we sell to PLS under such arrangement, and earn interest income on the loan for the time period we hold the loan prior to the sale to PLS. We received sourcing fees totaling $892,000, recorded in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, relating to $3.1 billion of loans at fair value we sold to PLS for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.0 million relating to $3.5 billion of loans at fair value that we sold to PLS for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

We supplement these activities through participation in other mortgage-related activities, including:

 

    Acquisition of MSRs or ESS from MSRs. We believe that MSR and ESS investments may allow us to earn attractive current returns and to leverage the loan servicing and origination capabilities of PLS to improve the assets’ value. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we purchased ESS with a fair value totaling $20.5 million. We also intend to continue to retain the MSRs that we receive as a portion of the proceeds from our sale or securitization of mortgage loans through our correspondent lending operation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we retained MSRs with a fair value at initial recognition totaling $20.9 million, compared to $56.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

 

    To the extent that we transfer correspondent lending loans into private label securitizations, retention of a portion of the securities created in the securitization transaction.

 

    Acquisition of REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities.

 

    Providing inventory financing of mortgage loans for mortgage lenders. We believe this activity may result in attractive investment assets and will supplement and make our correspondent lending business more attractive to lenders from which we acquire newly originated loans.

We conduct substantially all of our operations, and make substantially all of our investments, through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. We are the sole limited partner and one of our subsidiaries is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership.

We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT. We believe that we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet certain asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification. A portion of our activities, including our correspondent lending business, is conducted in a taxable REIT subsidiary (“our TRS”), which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we have made a provision for income taxes with respect to the operations of our TRS. We expect that the effective rate for the provision for income taxes may be volatile in future periods. Our goal is to manage the business to take full advantage of the tax benefits afforded to us as a REIT.

Observations on Current Market Opportunities

Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including economic growth, unemployment rates, the residential housing market and interest rate levels and expectations. During the first quarter of 2014, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 0.1% compared to revised 1.1% and 2.6% annual rates for the first and fourth quarters of 2013. The national unemployment rate was 6.7% at March 31, 2014 and compares to a revised seasonally adjusted rate of 7.5% at March 31, 2013 and 6.7% at December 31, 2013. While delinquency rates on residential real estate loans continue to decrease, they remain elevated compared to historical rates. As reported by the Federal Reserve Bank, during the fourth quarter of 2013, the delinquency rate on residential real estate loans held by commercial banks was 8.2%, a reduction from 10.0% during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Residential real estate activity was impacted by severe winter weather in many parts of the country during the first quarter of 2014. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for March 2014 was 7.5% lower than for March 2013 and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $198,500, a 7.9% increase from March 2013. On a national level, foreclosure filings during the first quarter of 2014 decreased by 23% as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Foreclosure activity across the country decreased throughout 2013; however, it is expected to remain above historical average levels through 2014 and beyond.

Thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 4.30% to a high of 4.43% during the first quarter of 2014 while during the first quarter of 2013, thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 3.41% to a high of 3.57% (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey).

Changes in fixed rate residential mortgage loan interest rates generally follow changes in long term U.S. Treasury yields. Toward the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase in these Treasury yields led to an increase in mortgage loan interest rates. As a result of this increase in mortgage loan interest rates, market volumes for mortgage originations have decreased led by a reduction in refinance activity.

Mortgage lenders originated an estimated $235 billion of home loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, down 58.0% percent from the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Mortgage originations are forecast to continue to decline, with current industry estimates for 2014 totaling $1.2 trillion compared to $1.9 trillion for 2013 (Source: Average of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts).

In the first quarter of 2014, prime jumbo MBS issuances surpassed the first quarter of 2013, with securitizations totaling $1.3 billion in unpaid principal balance. We believe there is significant long-term market opportunity in non-Agency jumbo mortgage loans. However, current investor demand for non-agency MBS is limited as evidenced by weaker pricing for securitizations issued in the second half of 2013. We believe that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) will begin to reduce Agency conforming limits to pre-crisis levels beginning sometime in 2014. This would open a significant portion of the jumbo market to non-Agency securitization and move the market one step closer to normalization. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we produced approximately $12.5 million in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of jumbo loans, compared to $8.1 million in UPB of jumbo loans produced during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our Manager continues to see substantial volumes of distressed residential mortgage loan sales (sales of loan pools that consist of either nonperforming loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale by a limited number of sellers. During the first quarter of 2014, our Manager reviewed 37 mortgage loan pools with UPB totaling approximately $9.2 billion. This compares to our Manager’s review of 27 mortgage loan pools with UPB totaling approximately $5.7 billion during the first quarter of 2013. We acquired distressed loans with fair value totaling $256.3 million and $200.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. While we expect to see a continued supply of distressed whole loans, we believe the pricing for recent transactions has been less attractive. We remain patient and selective in making new investments in distressed whole loans and we continue to monitor the market to assess best execution opportunities for our existing distressed portfolio investments.

In recent periods, we have seen increased competition from new and existing market participants in our correspondent lending business, as well as reductions in the overall level of refinancing activity. We believe that this change in supply and demand within the marketplace has been driving lower production margins in recent periods, which is reflected in our results of operations in our gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale. During the first several months of 2013, gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale benefited from wider secondary spreads (the difference between interest rates charged to borrowers and yields on mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market); however, secondary spreads narrowed in subsequent months and we expect them to continue to normalize toward their long-term averages in 2014.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded net income of $37.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. Our net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 reflects net gains on our investments in financial instruments totaling $52.6 million (comprised of net gain on investments and net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale), including $45.8 million of valuation gains on mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity. These gains were supplemented by $19.6 million of net interest income. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we purchased $5.0 billion in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized gains on such loans totaling approximately $10.0 million. At March 31, 2014, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $344.7 million, including $48.9 million that were pending sale to PLS.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded net income of $53.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share. Our net income for the quarter reflects net gains on our investments in financial instruments totaling $93.3 million (comprised of net gain on investments and net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale), including $55.6 million of valuation gains on mortgage loans, supplemented by $5.6 million of net interest income. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we purchased $8.8 billion in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized gains on such loans totaling approximately $29.3 million. At March 31, 2013, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $1.2 billion.

Our net income decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due to decreased pretax income in both our investment activities and correspondent lending segments. In our investment activities, our average investment portfolio was approximately $2.9 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 145%, over the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized net gain on investments, net interest income and net loan servicing fees totaling approximately $69.6 million in our investment activities segment, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 7%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recognized net gain on investments, net interest income and net loan servicing fees totaling approximately $75.0 million.

In our correspondent lending activities, we received proceeds of $2.0 billion from the sale of loans to nonaffiliates and issued $2.2 billion of IRLCs relating to Agency and jumbo mortgage loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.1 billion, or 49%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During 2014, rising interest rates negatively affected demand for mortgage loans as well as increased competition in the mortgage market, reducing both the volume of loans we purchased and the margins on our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale. As a result, we sold fewer loans during 2014 as compared to 2013, and our net gain on loans acquired for sale decreased by $19.3 million, or 66%.

Net Investment Income

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded net investment income of $76.6 million, comprised primarily of net gain on investments of $42.6 million, supplemented by $19.6 million of net interest income, $10.0 million of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, $7.4 million of net loan servicing fees, and $2.4 million of loan origination fees, partially offset by $6.6 million of losses from results of REO. This compares to net investment income of $107.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2013, comprised primarily of net gain on investments in financial instruments of $64.0 million supplemented by $29.3 million of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, $6.0 million of net loan servicing fees, $5.6 million of net interest income and $5.5 million of loan origination fees, partially offset by $3.3 million in losses from results of REO.

Net investment income includes non-cash fair value adjustments. Because we have elected to record our mortgage loan investments (which include mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity) at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such loans results from non-cash changes in fair value. Net investment income also includes non-cash fair value adjustments related to mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, IRLCs, and the related derivatives we use to hedge such assets and non-cash interest income arising from capitalization of delinquent interest on mortgage loans upon completion of the modification of such loans, as well as non-cash fair value adjustments relating to MSRs and ESS.

Cash is generated when mortgage loan investments are monetized through payoffs or sales, when payment of principal and interest occur on such loans, generally after they are modified, or upon the sale of the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property securing the loan has been sold. We receive proceeds on the sale of mortgage loans acquired for sale that include both cash and our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the loan sales transactions. Cash flows relating to hedging instruments are generally produced when the instruments mature or when we effectively cancel the transactions through an offsetting trade.

The decrease in net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflects the decrease in net fair value gains in our investments in mortgage loans at fair value along with reductions in net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale during 2014 as compared to 2013. Decreases in gain on our investments in mortgage loans are due primarily to decreases in the rate of appreciation in real estate values of the properties underlying our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans.

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, observed market demand for performing distressed loans improved, resulting in valuation gains. This was not repeated in the same magnitude in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The decrease in gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale is due to both the decrease in volume of mortgage loans sold and reduced margin on the loans sold as a result of the increasing interest rate environment that prevailed during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include both cash and our estimate of the fair value of MSRs. We also recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the loan sales transactions.

The change in our cash loss on mortgage loans acquired for sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 reflects the decreased volume of mortgage loan sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as a result of reductions in the size of the mortgage market resulting from rising interest rates beginning in the second half of 2013.

We recognize a substantial portion of our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value before we purchase the loan. In the course of our correspondent lending activities, we make contractual commitments to correspondent lenders to purchase loans at specified terms. We call these commitments IRLCs. We recognize the value of IRLCs at the time we make the commitment to the correspondent lender and adjust the fair value as the loan approaches the point of purchase or the transaction is canceled.

An active, observable market for IRLCs does not exist. Therefore, we estimate the fair value of IRLCs using methods and assumptions we believe that market participants use in pricing IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency MBS prices, our estimates of the fair value of the MSRs we expect to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will be purchased as a percentage of the commitment we have made (the “pull-through rate”).

Our estimates of pull-through rates and MSR fair values are based on our estimates as these inputs are difficult to observe in the mortgage marketplace. Changes in our estimate of the probability that a mortgage loan will fund and changes in interest rates are updated as the mortgage loans move through the purchase process and may result in significant changes in the estimates of the value of the IRLCs. Such changes are reflected in the change in fair value of IRLCs which is a component of our Gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale in the period of the change. The financial effects of changes in these assumptions are generally inversely correlated. 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 loans that decrease in fair value.

MSRs represent the value of a contract that obligates us to service mortgage loans on behalf of the purchaser of the loan in exchange for servicing fees and the right to collect certain ancillary income from the borrower. We recognize MSRs initially at our estimate of the fair value of the contract to service the loans. As economic fundamentals influencing the loans we sell with servicing rights retained change, our estimate of the cash we expect to generate from the MSRs and, therefore, the fair value of MSRs will also change. As a result, we will record changes in fair value as a component of Net loan servicing fees for the MSRs we carry at fair value and we may recognize changes in fair value relating to our MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value depending on the relationship of the asset’s fair value to its carrying value at the measurement date.

(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 LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.
(2) Annual total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the weighted-average pricing spread at the time of initial recognition for MSRs accounted for at amortized cost increased from 7.0% to 8.5% due to the changing interest rate environment and differences in the characteristics of the MSRs capitalized in each period.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the weighted-average life of MSRs carried at amortized cost decreased from 6.4 years to 5.9 years due to an increase in the proportion of 15-year and other mortgage loans with shorter expected lives.

We also provide for our estimate of the future losses that we may be required to incur as a result of our breach of representations and warranties provided to the purchasers of the loans we sold. Our agreements with the Agencies include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell to the Agencies. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent lenders that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.

Unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties

   $ 27,188,848       $ 16,639,996   

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we repurchased mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $4.9 million and incurred no losses relating to such repurchases primarily as a result of our ability to recover any losses inherent in the repurchased loan from the selling correspondent lender. As the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold season, we expect the level of repurchase activity to increase.

As economic fundamentals change, and as investor and Agency evaluation of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change and as the mortgage market and general economic changes affect our correspondent lenders, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change, which may be material to our financial condition and results of operations.

The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of estimated future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis.

Following is a summary of our liability for representations and warranties in the consolidated balance sheets:

The level of the recourse liability is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor loss mitigation strategies, our ability to recover any losses inherent in the repurchased loan from the selling correspondent lender and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. We believe the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Our hedging activities relating to correspondent lending primarily involve forward sales and purchases of our IRLCs and mortgage loans acquired for sale as well as purchases of put and call MBS options.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent lenders relating to our purchase of loans from those lenders. The decrease in fees during 2014 compared to 2013 is due to a decrease in production volume.

Investment Activities

Net Gain on Investments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized net gains on MBS, mortgage loans and ESS totaling $42.6 million. This compares to recognized net gains on investments totaling $64.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior period is primarily due to reduced valuation gains in our portfolio of mortgage loans, including mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements, and reflects the slowing rates of appreciation in the fair value of real estate underlying our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our average investment in mortgage loans. The prior period experienced higher valuation gains due to improvements in actual and expected performance in the residential real estate market. Observed market demand for performing distressed loans improved during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, resulting in valuation gains. This was not repeated in the same magnitude in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The average portfolio balance of distressed mortgage loan investments (mortgage loans at fair value excluding mortgage loans at fair value held in a variable interest entity) increased $840.9 million, or 74%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior period.

Because we have elected to record our mortgage loans and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such loans results from changes in fair value. Valuation changes amounted to $33.2 million and $55.6 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The valuation changes on performing loans reflect the effects of capitalization of delinquent interest on loans we modify. When we capitalize interest in a loan modification, we increase the carrying value of the loan. However, the modification may not result in an immediate increase in the loan’s estimated fair value. As a result, the interest income we recognize is generally offset by a valuation loss. Valuation gains on loans with capitalized interest generally accrue as the borrower demonstrates performance in the periods following the capitalization. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we capitalized interest totaling $12.5 million compared to $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Observed market demand for performing distressed loans improved in the quarter ended March 31, 2013, resulting in valuation gains. This was not repeated in the same magnitude in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Cash is generated when mortgage loans and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements are monetized through payoffs or sales, when payments of principal and interest occur on such loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property has been sold. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we received proceeds from liquidation of mortgage loans and REO of $285.6 million and $93.4 million, respectively. For these liquidations, we had recorded accumulated gains on the liquidated assets during the period we held those assets totaling $56.2 million and $8.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and we recorded additional gains of $9.0 million and $11.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, when the assets were liquidated.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized gains on mortgage loan payoffs as summarized below:

Unpaid principal balance

   $ 79,715       $ 80,642   

Gain recognized at payoff

   $ 5,620       $ 8,364   

The decrease in gains recognized at payoff during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was due to a higher rate of home price appreciation in 2013 compared to 2014 thus resulting in higher gains recognized at payoff.

While we sold $232.1 million in unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized valuation gains totaling $26.9 million relating to the sale of such mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2013 as the loans were subject to a contract of sale at December 31, 2013. The sale was consummated shortly thereafter, and resulted in an additional gain recognized at sale of $1.1 million.

Implementing long-term, sustainable loan modification is one means by which we endeavor to increase the value of the distressed mortgage loans which we have typically purchased at discounts to their unpaid principal balance. Before the disruption of the mortgage securitization markets in 2008, an active market in securitizations of reperforming and modified mortgage loans existed. As a result of the disruptions that occurred in 2008, the market for securities backed by such loans has become illiquid.

As discussed above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we had our first significant sale of reperforming mortgage assets, representing $232.1 million in unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans. However there can be no assurance that this form of monetization will become a reliable means of liquidating reperforming mortgage assets in the future. We continue to monitor and explore the market for loan sales or securitizations backed by reperforming and modified mortgage loans as a means of recovering our investment in such loans in the future.

Absent sale or securitization of reperforming and modified mortgage loans, and unlike liquidation of a defaulted mortgage loan, we expect that recovery of our investment in a performing modified mortgage loan will take place generally over a period of several years, during which we earn and collect interest income on the loan. Our current expectations are that we will receive cash on modified mortgage loans through monthly borrower payments, HAMP incentive payments, payoffs or acquisition of the property securing the loans and liquidation of the property in the event the borrower subsequently defaults. Due to the recent addition of new modification programs, both through HAMP and proprietary programs, trends in default performance are difficult to discern. However, the addition of these new modification programs resulted in an increase in the volume of our modification activity during 2014.

Large-scale refinancing of modified mortgage loans is not expected to occur for an extended period. Borrowers who have recently modified their mortgage loans typically have credit profiles that do not qualify them for refinancing or have loans on properties whose loan-to-value ratios exceed current underwriting guidelines for new mortgage loans. Further, modified mortgage loans require a period of acceptable borrower performance, generally 12 months of timely mortgage payments, for consideration in most Agency refinance programs.

Certain programs such as the FHA’s Negative Equity Refinance Program allow homeowners whose modified mortgage amount exceeds the fair value of the property securing the loan to refinance immediately following a modification. Our utilization of this program remains consistent in 2014 as compared to 2013. We continue to explore methods of accelerating recovery of our investment of modified mortgage loans through solicitations of refinancings of such loans into Agency-eligible loans which result in a full or partial repayment of our investment.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized gains on MBS of $709,000, net of hedging activities. The gains we recorded arose due to decreases in market yields on towards the end of the quarter. At March 31, 2013, we did not hold any MBS.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we earned net interest income of $19.6 million compared to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income between the quarters was primarily due to an increase in our yield-cost spread, supplemented by a 61% increase in average interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

We earned interest income on our portfolio of Agency MBS totaling $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. We did not hold Agency MBS during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

In the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized interest income on mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held by variable interest entity totaling $30.9 million, including $12.5 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications, which compares to $10.5 million, including $5.2 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increases in interest income are due primarily to growth in the average balance of our mortgage loan portfolio of $1.4 billion, or 121%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013.

At March 31, 2014, approximately 76% of the fair value of our mortgage loan portfolio was nonperforming, as compared to 72% at March 31, 2013. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming loans and generally do not recognize revenues during the period we hold REO. We calculate the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio based on the portfolio’s average fair value, which most closely reflects our investment in the mortgage loans. Accordingly, the yield we realize on our distressed mortgage loans is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the loans’ unpaid principal balances as we typically purchase our distressed mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their UPB.

Nonperforming loans and REO generally take longer to generate cash flow than performing loans due to the time required to work with borrowers to resolve payment issues through our modification programs and to acquire and liquidate the property securing the mortgage loans. The value and returns we realize from these assets are determined by our ability to assist borrowers in curing defaults, or when curing of borrower defaults is not a viable solution, by our ability to effectively manage the liquidation process. As a participant in HAMP, we are required to comply with the process specified by the HAMP program before liquidating a loan, and this may extend the resolution process. At March 31, 2014, we held $1.7 billion in fair value of nonperforming loans and $186.9 million in carrying value of REO.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we incurred interest expense totaling $19.8 million as compared to $11.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Our interest cost on interest bearing liabilities was 3.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 3.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in interest expense reflects our increased use of borrowings in support of growth of our balance sheet, partially offset by the effect of lower borrowing costs relating to our mortgage loans at fair value during 2014 as compared to 2013.

Net Loan Servicing Fees

When we sell mortgage loans, we generally enter into a contract to service the mortgage loans and recognize the fair value of such contracts as MSRs. Under these contracts, we are required to perform loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and the right to other compensation. The servicing functions, which are performed on our behalf by PLS, typically include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting 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 foreclosures and property dispositions.

Net loan servicing fees increased $1.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $7.1 million increase in servicing fees, offset by a $5.6 million increase in the effect of MSRs on net loan servicing fees. The increase in servicing fees is attributable to continued growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Offsetting the increase in servicing fees was MSR activity which included increased amortization arising from growth in the MSR asset along with the recognition of fair value decreases and impairment as compared to net increases in fair value in the prior period.

Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement that requires PLS to transfer to us the increases MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in refinancing transactions where PLS refinances a mortgage loan for which we previously held the MSRs. PLS is generally required to transfer MSRs relating to such mortgage loans (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, settle in cash with PMT in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such MSRs. We recognized approximately $8,000 of such income during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Amortization, impairment and changes in fair value of MSRs have a significant effect on net loan servicing fees, driven primarily by our monthly re-estimation of the fair value of MSRs. As our investment in MSRs grows, we expect that the effect of amortization, impairment and changes in fair value will have an increasing influence on our net income. The fair value of MSRs is difficult to determine because MSRs are not actively traded in observable standalone markets and are sensitive to changes in interest rate levels and marketplace expectations of future interest rates. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect our income.

Our MSR valuation process combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value at each balance sheet date. The cash flow and prepayment assumptions used in our Manager’s discounted cash flow model are based on market factors and include the historical performance of its managed MSRs, which our Manager believes are consistent with assumptions and data used by market participants valuing similar MSRs. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. These variables can, and generally do, change from period to period as market conditions change. Therefore, our estimate of the fair value of MSRs changes from period to period. PCM’s valuation committee reviews and approves the fair value estimates of our MSRs.

We account for MSRs either at our estimate of the asset’s fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings or by using the amortization method with the MSRs carried at the lower of estimated amortized cost or fair value based on whether we view the underlying mortgages as being sensitive to prepayments resulting from changing market interest rates. We have identified an initial mortgage interest rate of 4.5% as the threshold for whether such mortgage loans are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

 

    Our risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ fair values.

 

    For MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5%, we have concluded that such assets present different risks than MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Our risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ fair values. We have identified these assets for accounting using the amortization method.

(1) The effect on value of an adverse change in one of the following key inputs may result in recognition of MSR impairment. The extent of impairment recognized will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of MSRs.
(2) Pricing spread represents a margin that is added 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 LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and purchased MSRs not backed by pools of distressed mortgage loans.
(3) Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

Significant changes to any of the key assumptions shown above in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key assumptions are not necessarily directly related. The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes in the variables in relation to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not take into account other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by our Manager to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Results of Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

Results of REO includes the gains or losses we record upon sale of the properties as well as valuation adjustments we record during the period we hold those properties. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded net losses of $6.6 million in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans as compared to net losses of $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The increase in losses from REOs during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was due to slower property value appreciation during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, along with growth in the inventory of properties held between the periods. Since REO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, we recognize valuation losses on properties where decreases in fair value are indicated but are generally unable to record fair value increases until the date of sale of properties.

Expenses decreased $11.6 million, or 22%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of lower fulfillment fees, reflecting decreased correspondent lending activities, partially offset by increased servicing fees reflecting growth in both our investments in mortgage loans at fair value and our MSR portfolio.

Loan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PFSI for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the mortgage loans purchased. Loan fulfillment fees and related fulfillment volume are summarized below:

UPB of loans fulfilled by PLS

   $ 1,919,578       $ 4,786,826   

The decrease in loan fulfillment fees of $19.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 is primarily due to the decrease in the volume of Agency-eligible and jumbo mortgage loans we purchased in our correspondent lending activities.

Loan servicing fees increased by $6.9 million, or 89%, to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. Loan servicing fees increase as our average investment in mortgage loans and MSRs increases. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our average investment in mortgage loans increased by 121%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Our servicing portfolio increased to $27.2 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from $16.6 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Included in loan servicing fees are activity-based fees, which increased by $4.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, generally relating to the increase in loan resolution activities including the sale of reperforming loans during the first quarter. We amended our servicing agreement with PFSI effective January 1, 2014, to limit the supplemental fees we pay PFSI to no more than $700,000 per quarter. During the first quarter of 2014, we paid PFSI $695,000 in supplemental servicing fees relating to our MSR servicing portfolio. Supplemental servicing fees are a component of the total base servicing fee and compensate PFSI for providing certain services that are atypical for servicers to provide but required for us because we have no employees or infrastructure.

Management fees increased by $1.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due to the effect of growth in shareholders’ equity on the base management fee we pay to PFSI and recognition of performance incentive fees in 2014, which only were incurred beginning February 1, 2013. The increase in performance incentive fees resulted in part from a change in our management agreement with PFSI. Effective February 1, 2013, the management agreement was amended to adjust the basis on which both the base management fee and performance incentive fee are determined. Specifically, we amended:

 

    The base management fee rate from 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity to a base management fee schedule based on tiered management fee rates beginning with a rate of 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity for the first $2.0 billion of shareholders’ equity and reduced rates as the balance of shareholders’ equity increases. Our shareholders’ equity did not reach a level that would have resulted in a reduced base management fee rate.

 

    The definition of “net income” for purposes of determining the performance incentive fee to net income as determined in compliance with U.S. GAAP. Previously, “net income” for purposes of determining the performance incentive fee began with net income as determined in compliance with U.S. GAAP and was adjusted for non-cash gains and losses included in our income. As a result of this change, we recognized $2.6 million in performance incentive fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

We expect our management fees to fluctuate in the future based on: (1) changes in our shareholders’ equity with respect to our base management fee; and (2) the level of our profitability in excess of the return thresholds specified in our management agreement with respect to the performance incentive fee.

Professional services expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 by $653,000 due to legal fees incurred during 2013 relating to renegotiation of certain agreements between us and our Manager as well as a decrease in due diligence expenses in 2014 as compared to 2013.

Other expense items decreased due to the decreased expenses associated with certain of our correspondent lending activities.

PFSI Expense Reimbursement

We reimburse PFSI for other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on our behalf, in accordance with the terms of the management agreement. Expense reimbursement amounts paid to PFSI during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 are included in other expenses. The amount of total expense reimbursement that we paid PFSI increased $286,000 from $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The increase was due to growth in PFSI overhead expenses as well as growth in our balance sheet, resulting in an increase in the proportion of PFSI overhead expenses allocated to us.

Income Taxes

Previously, we had elected to treat PMC 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 is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

74


Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes decreased by $4.2 million to a tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from a tax expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company’s effective tax rate was (4.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 4.7% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior period in 2013 is due primarily to a loss in the TRS for the first quarter of 2014 compared to income in the TRS for the same period in 2013. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is non-taxable REIT income resulting from the deduction for dividends paid.

In general, cash dividends declared by us will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we purchased for sale $5.0 billion in fair value of correspondent lending loans compared to $8.8 billion in fair value of correspondent lending loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in correspondent purchases is a result of the effects of increasing interest rates on the size of the mortgage market during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our ability to resume the expansion of our correspondent lending business is subject to, among other factors, our ability to source additional mortgage loan volume, our ability to obtain additional inventory financing and our ability to fund the portion of the loans not financed, either through cash flows from business activities or the raising of additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in sourcing additional sources of mortgage loans, increasing our borrowing capacity or in obtaining the additional equity capital necessary to fund the portion of the loans not financed.

(1) Performance status as of the date of acquisition.
(2) No distressed assets were acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. during quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $200.5 million distressed assets acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our acquisitions during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were financed through the use of a combination of equity and borrowings. We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from our business operations, existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment activities portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

The collateral values presented above do not represent our assessment of the amount of future cash flows to be realized from the mortgage loans and/or underlying collateral. Future cash flows will be influenced by, among other considerations, our asset disposition strategies with respect to individual loans, the costs and expenses we incur in the disposition process, changes in borrower performance and the underlying collateral values.

The collateral values summarized above are estimated and may change over time due to various factors including our level of access to the properties securing the loans, changes in the real estate market or the condition of individual properties. The collateral values presented do not include any costs that would typically be incurred in obtaining the property in settlement of the loan, readying the property for sale or in the sale of a property.

We believe that our current fair value estimates are representative of fair value at the reporting date. However, the market for distressed mortgage assets is illiquid with a limited number of participants. Furthermore, our business strategy is to enhance value during the period in which the loans are held. Therefore, any resulting appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the loans is recorded during such holding period and ultimately realized at the end of the holding period.

We monitor and value our investments in pools of distressed mortgage loans either by acquisition date or by payment status of the loans. Most of the measures we use to value and monitor the loan portfolio, such as projected prepayment and default speeds and discount rates, are applied or output at the pool level. The characteristics of the individual loans, such as loan size, loan-to-value ratio and current delinquency status, can vary widely within a pool.

The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 12.7% at December 31, 2013 to 12.4% at March 31, 2014 as market returns for similar assets decreased during the period and we acquired pools of mortgage loans with lower inherent discount rates.

The weighted average twelve-month projected housing price index (“HPI”) change decreased from 3.7% at December 31, 2013 to 3.5% at March 31, 2014 due to slightly different expectations in various geographies and slightly different state composition of the portfolio.

The total prepayment speed of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 24.3% at December 31, 2013 to 23.6 % at March 31, 2014, largely due to an increase in the proportion of nonperforming loans in the portfolio and our revised expectations of run off compared to our estimate at December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $15.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was due to cash used through our investing and financing activities exceeding cash provided by operations. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $113.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash used in operating activities of $225.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This change primarily reflects the changing levels of correspondent lending during 2014 as compared to 2013. In the first quarter of 2013, our cash investment in our mortgage inventory was increasing, reflecting increasing production; during the first quarter of 2014, our cash investment in our inventory decreased, reflecting decreasing mortgage loan production activity.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $507,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We used cash to purchase mortgage loans at fair value, ESS and REO of $279.9 million and increased our margin deposits by $21.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Offsetting this use in cash were cash inflows from repayments of mortgage loans and MBS, repayments of ESS and sales of REO totaling $300.4 million.

Approximately 47% of our investments, comprised of short-term investments, MBS, non-correspondent lending mortgage loans, ESS, REO and MSRs, were nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets include mortgage loans delinquent 90 or more days and REO. Accordingly, we expect that these assets will require a longer period to produce cash flow and the timing and amount of cash flows from these assets is less certain than for performing assets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we transferred $68.9 million of mortgage loans to REO and realized cash proceeds from the sales and repayments of mortgage loans at fair values and REO totaling $285.6 million.

As discussed above, our investing activities include the purchase of long-term assets which are not presently cash flowing or are at risk of interruption of cash flows in the near future. Furthermore, much of the investment income we recognize is in the form of valuation adjustments we record recognizing our estimates of the net appreciation in fair value of the assets as we work with borrowers to either modify their loans or acquire the property securing their loans in settlement thereof. Accordingly, the cash associated with a substantial portion of our revenues is often realized as part of the proceeds of the liquidation of the assets, either through payoff or sale of the mortgage loan or through acquisition and subsequent sale of the property securing the loans, many months after we record the revenues.

The following table illustrates, for assets liquidated during the periods presented, the net gain (loss) in value that we accumulated over the period during which we owned the liquidated assets, as compared to the proceeds actually received and the additional net gain (loss) realized upon liquidation of such assets:

(1) For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the amounts include a sale of reperforming loans with loan sale proceeds of $194.0 million, accumulated gains of $44.2 million, and $1.1 million gain on liquidation.
(2) Represents valuation gains and losses recognized during the period we held the respective asset but excludes the gain or loss recorded upon sale or repayment of the respective asset.
(3) Represents the gain or loss recognized upon sale or repayment of the respective asset.

The amounts included in accumulated gains and gains on liquidation do not include the cost of managing the liquidated assets which may be substantial depending on the collection status of the loan at acquisition and on our success in working with the borrower to resolve the source of distress in the loan. Accumulated gains include the amount of accumulated valuation gains and

losses recognized throughout the holding period and, in the case of REO, includes direct transaction costs incurred in the sale of the property. Accordingly, the preceding amounts do not represent periodic earnings on a cash basis and the amount of gain will have accumulated over varying periods depending on the holding periods and liquidation speed for individual assets.

The primary expenses incurred at a loan level in managing our portfolio of distressed assets are servicing and activity fees. From the time of acquisition of the distressed assets through their deboarding dates, we incurred servicing and activity fees of $5.0 million and $2.8 million for assets liquidated during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $128.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, during which we received proceeds of $80.0 million, net of offering costs, of additional capital through at-the market equity offerings. Our primary use of cash in financing activities was to repay borrowings relating to our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale which decreased during the period. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continues to evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity.

We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash flows from the liquidation of our investments, which include accumulated gains recorded during the periods we hold those investments, along with our cash earnings, are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment requirements. As our business continues to grow, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including the purchase of loans from correspondent lenders, our operating expenses and, when applicable, retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt and derivatives positions), make investments as our Manager identifies them and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities.

We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be proceeds from liquidations from our portfolio of distressed assets, cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We do not expect repayments from contractual cash flows from our investments to be a primary source of liquidity as the majority of our distressed asset investments are nonperforming. Our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans was acquired with the expectation that the majority of the cash flows associated with these investments would result from liquidation of the property securing the loan, rather than from scheduled principal and interest payments. Our mortgage loans acquired for sale are generally held for fifteen days or less, and therefore are not expected to generate significant cash flows from principal repayments.

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. We have made borrowings in the form of borrowings under forward purchase agreements, and sales of assets under agreements to repurchase. We entered into two long-term financing agreements during the year ended December 31, 2013. To the extent available to us, we expect in the future to obtain long-term financing for assets with estimated future lives of more than one year; this may include term financing and securitization of performing (including newly purchased jumbo mortgage loans), nonperforming and/or reperforming mortgage loans.

The two long-term financing transactions are as follows:

 

    In April 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, PMC, completed a private offering of $250.0 million of Notes due 2020. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semiannually. The exchange rate initially equals 33.5149 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $29.84 per common share). The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes will mature May 1, 2020, unless repurchased or exchanged in accordance with their terms before such date.

 

    In September 2013, we financed $536.8 million at fair value of jumbo loans through a private-label securitization transaction. We sold $174.5 million of senior bonds backed by the loans and retained the remaining securities from the transaction, with a portion intended as long-term investments. We intend to sell a portion of the securities in the future as investor demand for private-label securities increases. We do not have plans to do additional financings through private-label securitizations until market conditions for such transactions improve.

Table of Contents

We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until long-term financing on favorable terms becomes more accessible. Our short-term financings will be primarily in the form of agreements to repurchase and other secured lending and structured finance facilities, pending the ultimate disposition of the assets, whether through sale, securitization or liquidation. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consist of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the assets at a later date. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase securities, mortgage loans, mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans held by variable interest entity and REO totaled $1.8 billion, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $2.7 billion. The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding was due to a decrease in the volume of our loan purchases through our correspondent lending segment and our use of proceeds from the Notes and equity offerings to temporarily reduce our borrowings until those proceeds could be reinvested. The total facility size of our borrowings was approximately $3.2 billion at March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we financed our investments in MBS, our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value held by VIE, and REO under agreements to repurchase and forward purchase agreements as follows:

 

     March 31, 2014     December 31, 2013

Percentage of invested assets pledged

     92     91

Advance rate against pledged assets

     69     71

As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements and forward purchase agreements have short-term maturities:

 

    The transactions relating to mortgage loans and REO under agreements to repurchase mature between July 24, 2014 and February 17, 2015 and provide for the sale to major financial institution counterparties based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans sold. The agreements provide for terms of approximately one year.

We do not currently have secured financing for our investments in MSRs and ESS. Direct leverage on these assets has been difficult to obtain due to the requirement of each Agency that its rights and interest in the MSRs and ESS remain senior to those of any lender extending credit. If we are unable to finance these asset classes in arrangements that do not include secured financing, continued aggregation of MSRs and acquisition of ESS could place stress on our capital and liquidity positions or require us to forego attractive investment opportunities.

Our debt financing agreements require us and certain of our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants. As of the filing of this Report, these financial covenants include the following:

 

    profitability at each of the Company and our Operating Partnership, for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, for both the prior two (2) calendar quarters and the prior three (3) calendar quarters;

 

    a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among the Company and/or our subsidiaries; a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among our Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries; a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents between PMC and PMH; and a minimum of $10 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at each of PMC and PMH;

    a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 10:1 for PMC and 5:1 for the Company, our Operating Partnership and PMH; and

 

    at least two warehouse or repurchase facilities that finance amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements.

Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur and impact our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.

PLS is also subject to various financial covenants, both as a borrower under its own financing arrangements and as our Servicer under certain of our debt financing agreements. The most significant of these financial covenants currently include the following:

 

    positive net income during each calendar quarter;

 

    a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $20 million;

 

    a minimum tangible net worth of $90 million; and

 

    a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1.

Our transactions relating to securities sold under agreements to repurchase contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or additional securities in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decrease in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to an agreement to repurchase, although in some instances we may agree with the lender upon certain thresholds (in dollar amounts or percentages based on the market value of the assets) that must be exceeded before a margin deficit will arise. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

The transactions relating to mortgage loans and/or equity interests in special purpose entities holding real property under agreements to repurchase contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or additional mortgage loans or real property, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decrease in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to an agreement to repurchase. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful.

Management Agreement. We are externally managed and advised by our Manager pursuant to a management agreement, which was amended and restated effective February 1, 2013. Our management agreement requires our Manager to oversee our business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by our board of trustees. Our Manager is responsible for our day-to-day management and will perform such services and activities related to our assets and operations as may be appropriate.

Pursuant to our management agreement, our Manager collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee, both payable quarterly and in arrears. The term of our management agreement expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The base management fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of “shareholders’ equity.” Our “shareholders’ equity” is defined as the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of our equity securities since our inception (weighted for the time outstanding during the measurement period); plus our retained earnings at the end of the quarter; less any amount that we pay for repurchases of our common shares (weighted for the time held during the measurement period); and excluding one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to our management agreement, the base management fee is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per annum of shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per annum of shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per annum of shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. The base management fee is paid in cash.

The performance incentive fee 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.” 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 our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees. For this purpose, “equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of our public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the four-quarter period.

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and escalates as net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) increases over certain thresholds. On each calculation date, the threshold amounts represent a stated return on equity, plus or minus a “high watermark” adjustment. The performance fee payable for any quarter 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.

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 our Manager to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of our 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 performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or in our common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at our option.

Under our management agreement, our Manager is entitled to reimbursement of its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on our behalf. Our Manager may also be entitled to a termination fee under certain circumstances. Specifically, the termination fee is payable for (1) our termination of our management agreement without cause, (2) our Manager’s termination of our management agreement upon a default by us in the performance of any material term of the agreement that has continued uncured for a period of 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof or (3) our Manager’s termination of the agreement after the termination by us without cause (excluding a non-renewal) of our MBWS agreement, our MSR recapture agreement, or our servicing agreement (each as described and/or defined below). The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee and (b) the average annual (or, if the period is less than 24 months, annualized) performance incentive fee, in each case earned by our Manager during the 24-month period before termination.

Our management agreement also provides that, prior to the undertaking by our Manager or its affiliates of any new investment opportunity or any other business opportunity requiring a source of capital with respect to which our Manager or its affiliates will earn a management, advisory, consulting or similar fee, our Manager shall present to us such new opportunity and the material terms on which our Manager proposes to provide services to us before pursuing such opportunity with third parties.

Servicing Agreement. We have entered into a servicing agreement with our Servicer pursuant to which our Servicer provides servicing for our portfolio of residential mortgage loans. The loan servicing provided by our Servicer includes collecting principal, interest and escrow account payments, if any, with respect to mortgage loans, as well as managing loss mitigation, which may include, among other things, collection activities, loan workouts, modifications, foreclosures and short sales. Our Servicer also engages in certain loan origination activities that include refinancing mortgage loans and financings that facilitate sales of real estate owned properties, or REOs. The term of our servicing agreement, as amended, expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The base servicing fees for distressed whole loans are calculated based on a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of such loan or the related underlying real estate. Presently, the base servicing fees for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $125 per month for loans that are severely delinquent and in foreclosure.

Table of Contents

The base servicing fees for loans subserviced by our Servicer on our 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 our 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 loans become delinquent, our Servicer is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan falling within a range of $10 to $75 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or the related underlying real estate. Our Servicer is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, and assumption, modification and origination fees.

Except as otherwise provided in our MSR recapture agreement, when our Servicer effects a refinancing of a loan on our behalf and not through a third-party lender and the resulting loan is readily saleable, or our Servicer originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of the real estate acquired by us in settlement of a loan, our Servicer is entitled to receive from us market-based fees and compensation consistent with pricing and terms our Servicer offers unaffiliated third parties on a retail basis.

To the extent that our Servicer participates in HAMP (or other similar mortgage loan modification programs), our Servicer is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP, provided that, with respect to any incentive payments paid to our Servicer in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which we previously paid our Servicer a modification fee, our Servicer is required to reimburse us an amount equal to the incentive payments.

In addition, because we do not have any employees or infrastructure, our Servicer 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. For these services, our Servicer receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and $3.25 per month for each other subserviced loan; provided, however, that from and after January 1, 2014, the aggregate supplemental servicing fees for all loans that are owned by a third party investor and with respect to which we have acquired the related servicing rights (and that are not distressed whole loans) shall not exceed $700,000 in any fiscal quarter. Our Servicer is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, bona fide reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our Servicer in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

Mortgage Banking and Warehouse Services Agreement. We have also entered into a mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement (the “MBWS agreement”), pursuant to which our Servicer provides us with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, with respect to loans acquired by us from correspondent lenders, and certain warehouse lending services, including fulfillment and administrative services, with respect to loans financed by us for our warehouse lending clients. The term of our MBWS agreement expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Under our MBWS agreement, our Servicer has agreed to provide the mortgage banking services exclusively for our benefit, and our Servicer and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party. However, such exclusivity and prohibition shall not apply, and certain other duties instead will be imposed upon our Servicer, if we are unable to purchase or finance mortgage loans as contemplated under our MBWS agreement for any reason.

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by our Servicer with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans, our Servicer is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that we acquire and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Presently, the applicable percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans sold in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, (iii) 0.80% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 105% or less, (iv) 1.20% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above; provided, however, that PLS may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of the applicable fulfillment fee and credit the amount of such reduction to the reimbursement otherwise due as described below. This reduction may only be credited to the reimbursement applicable to the month in which the related mortgage was funded.

At this time, we do not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under our MBWS agreement, our Servicer currently purchases loans saleable in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from us at cost less an administrative fee paid by the correspondent lender to us plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points.

In the event that we purchase mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $2.5 billion, our Servicer has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing us an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.025%, and (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $2.5 billion and less than or equal to $5.0 billion, plus (b) the product of (i) 0.05%, and (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $5 billion.

Table of Contents

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by our Servicer with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans under our Servicer’s early purchase program, our Servicer is entitled to fees accruing (i) at a rate equal to $25,000 per annum, and (ii) in the amount of $50 for each mortgage loan that we acquire. In consideration for the warehouse services provided by our Servicer with respect to mortgage loans that we finance for our warehouse lending clients, with respect to each facility, our Servicer is entitled to fees accruing (i) at a rate equal to $25,000 per annum, and (ii) in the amount of $50 for each mortgage loan that we finance thereunder. Where we have entered into both an early purchase agreement and a warehouse lending agreement with the same client, our Servicer shall only be entitled to one $25,000 per annum fee and, with respect to any mortgage loan that becomes subject to both such agreements, only one $50 per loan fee.

Notwithstanding any provision of our MBWS agreement to the contrary, if it becomes reasonably necessary or advisable for our Servicer to engage in additional services in connection with post-breach or post-default resolution activities for the purposes of a correspondent lending agreement, a warehouse agreement or a re-warehouse agreement, then we have generally agreed with our Servicer to negotiate in good faith for additional compensation and reimbursement of expenses to be paid to our Servicer for the performance of such additional services.

MSR Recapture Agreement. Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement with our Servicer. Pursuant to the terms of our MSR recapture agreement, if our Servicer refinances via its retail lending business loans for which we previously held the MSRs, our Servicer is generally required to transfer and convey to us, without cost to us, 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 market value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, our Servicer may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such MSRs. The initial term of our MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements. Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which we may acquire from our Servicer the rights to receive certain ESS arising from MSRs acquired by our Servicer from banks and other third party financial institutions. Our Servicer is generally required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for the applicable agency or investor. The terms of each transaction under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement are subject to the terms thereof, as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

To the extent our Servicer refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we have acquired, the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains recapture provisions requiring that our Servicer transfer to us, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, our Servicer may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

On December 30, 2013, we entered into a second master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with our Servicer (the “12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that we only intend to purchase ESS relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

To the extent our Servicer refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we have acquired, the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that our Servicer transfer to us, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, our Servicer is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require our Servicer to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, our Servicer may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

Table of Contents

In connection with our entry into the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, we were also required to enter into a Security and Subordination Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”). Under the terms of the Security Agreement, we pledged to CSFB our rights under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and our interest in any ESS purchased thereunder. The Security Agreement was required as a result of a separate loan and security agreement between our Servicer and CSFB (the “LSA”), pursuant to which our Servicer pledged to CSFB all of its rights and interests in the Ginnie Mae MSRs it owns or acquires, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and our Servicer. As a condition to permitting our Servicer to transfer to us the ESS relating to a portion of those pledged Ginnie Mae MSRs, CSFB required such transfer to be subject to CSFB’s continuing lien on the ESS, the pledge and acknowledgement of which were effected pursuant to the Security Agreement. CSFB’s lien on the ESS remains subordinate to the rights and interests of Ginnie Mae pursuant to the provisions of the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the terms of the acknowledgement agreement.

The Security Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by us that are substantially similar to those contained in our other financing arrangements with CSFB. The Security Agreement also permits CSFB to liquidate our ESS along with the related MSRs to the extent there exists an event of default under the LSA, and it contains certain trigger events, including breaches of representations, warranties or covenants and defaults under other of our credit facilities, that would require our Servicer to either (i) repay in full the outstanding loan amount under the LSA or (ii) repurchase the ESS from us at fair market value. To the extent our Servicer is unable to repay the loan under the LSA or repurchase our ESS, an event of default would exist under the LSA, thereby entitling CSFB to liquidate the ESS and the related MSRs. In the event our ESS is liquidated as a result of certain actions or inactions of our Servicer, we generally would be entitled to seek indemnity under the 12/30/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

Reimbursement Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of our common shares (“IPO”), on August 4, 2009, we entered into an agreement with our Manager pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse our Manager for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the underwriters for the IPO (the “Conditional Reimbursement”) if we satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. Effective February 1, 2013, we amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement of our Manager of the Conditional Reimbursement if we are required to pay our Manager performance incentive fees under our management agreement at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement of the Conditional Reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $1.0 million and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million. The reimbursement agreement also provides for the payment to the IPO underwriters of the payment that we agreed to make to them at the time of the IPO if we satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As our Manager earns performance incentive fees under our management agreement, the IPO underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by our Manager. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million.

In the event the termination fee is payable to our Manager under our management agreement and our Manager and the underwriters have not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk. A substantial portion of our investments are comprised of nonperforming loans. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the fair value of the real estate securing such loans.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value as of March 31, 2014, given several hypothetical (instantaneous) changes in home values from those used in the determination of fair value:

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.
