SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions.

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:

projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.

descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.

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.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2017.21, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization

PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on May 18, 2009, and commenced operations on August 4, 2009, when it completed its initial offerings of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage-related assets.

The Company operates in four4 segments: correspondent production, credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies, correspondent production, and corporate:

The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in credit risk transfer (“CRT”) arrangements, including CRT agreements (“CRT Agreements”) and CRT securities (together, “CRT arrangements”), distressed loans, real estate, and non-Agency subordinated bonds.

The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”) purchased from PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), Agency and senior non-Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and the related interest rate hedging activities.

The correspondent production segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PFSI.

The correspondent production segment representsCompany primarily sells 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 the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”).

Most of the mortgage loans the Company has acquired init acquires through its correspondent production activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or through government agencies such asto PLS for sale into securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.”

The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in distressed mortgage loans, real estate acquired in settlement of mortgage loans (“REO”), credit risk transfer agreements (“CRT Agreements”), non-Agency subordinated bonds and small balance commercial real estate mortgage loans.

The corporate segment includes management fees, corporate expense amounts and certain interest income.

The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”), Agency and senior non-Agency MBS and the related interest rate hedging activities.  

The corporate segment includes certain interest income, management fee and corporate expense amounts.

The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with its taxable period ended on December 31, 2009. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company has to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.

The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Accounting Change

Basis of Presentation

The accompanyingCompany’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 GAAP for complete financial statements. TheThis interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2020.

The accompanyingThese unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be anticipated for the full year. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the ManagerCompany to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Pending Accounting Change

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments in subtopic 470-20, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Under the amendments in this update:


the embedded conversion features in debt instruments no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will generally be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost;

Diluted earnings per share guidance is changed to require that:

an entity is required to include shares issuable pursuant to conversion of convertible debt instruments in the determination of diluted earnings per share; current guidance allows an entity to exclude such shares from the diluted earnings per share calculation if the company has a history and policy of cash settlement;

an average market price should be used to calculate the diluted EPS denominator in cases in which the exercise prices may change on the basis of an entity’s share price or changes in the entity’s share price may affect the number of shares that may be used to settle a financial instrument; and

an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count.

ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2022 with early adoption allowed beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2021 using either the modified retrospective or full retrospective method. The Company intends to adopt ASU 2020-06 beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2022.

As detailed in Note 14 – Long-Term Debt, the Company has issued $555 million in unpaid principal balance of exchangeable senior notes that are exchangeable for common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes will be subject to the guidance included in ASU 2020-06. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have the following effects on PMT:

The exchange feature included in the Exchangeable Notes can be settled either in cash or common shares at the option of PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”). As a result of this feature and PMT’s intent to cash settle the Exchangeable Notes, the Company presently excludes the effect of exchange of the Exchangeable Notes from diluted earnings per share as allowed under current accounting standards. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 will require the Company to include common shares issuable pursuant to exchange of the Exchangeable Notes in its determination of diluted earnings per share.

The Company recognized the fair value of the exchange feature as a component of Additional paid-in capital as of the date of issuance of the Exchangeable Notes as required by current guidance. The issuance discount charged to the Exchangeable Notes resulting from the allocation of the issuance discount to Additional paid-in capital is presently accrued to interest expense using the interest method. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the value originally attributed to Additional paid-in capital as of the date of issuance of the Exchangeable Notes will be added to the carrying value of the Exchangeable Notes and the accumulated accrual of the exchange value to interest expense through the date of adoption of ASU 2020-06 will be credited to retained earnings net of income taxes as the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Note 3—Concentration of Risks

As discussed in Note 1— Organization above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, a substantial portion of which were distressed at acquisition. The mortgageincluding CRT arrangements, MSRs and MBS. CRT arrangements are more sensitive to borrower credit performance than other mortgage-related investments such as traditional loans at fair value not acquired for sale or heldand MBS. MSRs are sensitive to changes in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) are generally purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies.prepayment activity and expectations.

Due to the nature of a substantial portion ofCredit Risk

Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities details the Company’s investments PMTin CRT arrangements whereby the Company sells pools of recently-originated loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while either:

through May 2018, entering into CRT Agreements, whereby it retains a portion of the credit risk underlying such loans as part of the retention of an interest-only (“IO”) ownership interest in such loans and an obligation to absorb scheduled credit losses arising from such loans reaching a specific number of days delinquent (“Recourse Obligations”); or

11


from June 2018 through 2020, entering into firm commitments to purchase and purchasing CRT securities and, upon purchase of such securities, holding CRT strips representing an IO ownership interest that absorbs realized credit losses arising from such loans.

The Company’s retention of credit risk through its investment in CRT arrangements subjects it to risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure similar to the risks of loss associated with owning the underlying loans, which is exposed,greater than the risk of loss associated with selling such loans to Fannie Mae without the retention of such credit risk.

CRT Agreements are structured such that loans that reach a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors,specific number of days delinquent (including loans in forbearance which also includes those subject to the forbearance provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)) trigger losses chargeable to the CRT Agreements based on the size of the loan and a contractual schedule of loss severity. Therefore, the risks associated with loan performancedelinquency and resolution, includingforeclosure may in some instances be greater than the risks associated with owning the related loans because the structure of the CRT Agreements provides that borrowersthe Company may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwillingrequired to make payments when due, and that fluctuationsabsorb losses in the residential real estateevent of delinquency or foreclosure even when there is ultimately no loss realized with respect to such loans (e.g., as a result of a borrower’s re-performance). In contrast, the structure of the Company’s investment in CRT strips requires PMT to absorb losses only when the reference loans realize actual losses.

Fair Value Risk

The Company is exposed to fair value risk in addition to the risks specific to credit and, as a result of prevailing market conditions or the economy generally, may affectbe required to recognize losses associated with adverse changes to the performancefair value of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:

changes in the overall economy, unemployment rates and residential real estate fair values in the markets where the properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans are located;

PCM’s ability to identify and PLS’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of certain mortgage loans;

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

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

the level of government support for resolution of certain mortgage loans and the effect of current and future proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory changes on the Company’s ability to effect cures or resolutions to distressed mortgage loans; and

regulatory, judicial and legislative support of the foreclosure process, and the resulting effect on the Company’s ability to acquire and liquidate the real estate securing its portfolio of distressed mortgage loans in a timely manner or at all.

Due to these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that risk management activities identified and executed on PMT’s behalf will prevent significant losses arising from the Company’s investments in real estate-related assets.

A substantial portion of the distressed mortgage loansMSRs, CRT arrangements, and REO has been acquired by the Company in prior years from or through one or more subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., as presented in the following summary:

MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when prepayment speeds increase as a result of decreasing mortgage interest rates, when estimates of cost to service the underlying loans increase or when the returns demanded by market participants increase.

The fair value of CRT arrangements is sensitive to market perceptions of future credit performance of the underlying loans as well as the actual credit performance of such loans and to the returns required by market participants to hold such investments.

The fair value of MBS is sensitive to changes in market interest rates.

Prime Servicing

The base servicing fees for non-distressed loans subserviced by PLS on the Company’s behalf are based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

To the extent that these non-distressed loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”).

PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees.

Effective July 1, 2020, PLS also receives certain fees for COVID-19 pandemic-related forbearance and modification activities it provides as required by the CARES Act.

Presently, themortgage property has become REO. The base servicing feesfee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans range from $30 per month for current mortgage loans up to $100$95 per month for mortgage loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. PLS is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed mortgage loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from 0.50% for a streamline modification to 1.50% for a liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. PLS is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee in any 18-month period.

foreclosure proceedings have commenced. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month. To the extent that the Company rents its REO under anits REO rental program, the Company pays PLS is entitled to an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to PLS’its cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9%9 percent of gross rental income if PLS provides property management services directly. PLS is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third party vendor fees.

MSR Recapture Agreement

The base servicing fees for non-distressed mortgage loans subserviced by PLS on the Company’s behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees for loans subserviced on the Company’s behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate mortgage loans.

To the extent that these non-distressed mortgage loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per mortgage loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the mortgage loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees.

PLS is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement because the Company has limited employees and infrastructure. For these services, PLS received a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan. PLS is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performance of its servicing obligations.

PLS, on behalf of the Company, is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Plan (“HAMP”); provided, however, thatan MSR recapture agreement with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS under HAMP in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which the Company previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS shall reimburse the Company an amount equal to the incentive payments.

The term of the servicing agreement, as amended, expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the servicing agreement.

PFSI. Pursuant to the terms of anthe MSR recapture agreement, if PLSPFSI refinances mortgage loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PLS isthrough June 30, 2020, PFSI was generally required to transfer and convey to onethe Company cash in an amount equal to 30% of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries without cost to the Company,fair market value of the MSRs with respectrelated to new mortgageall such loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than so originated.

Effective July 1, 2020, the 2020 MSR recapture agreement changed the recapture fee payable by PLS to a tiered amount equal to:

40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 15% of the “recapture rate”;

35% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the recapture rate in excess of 15% and up to 30%; and

30% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the recapture rate in excess of 30%.

The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all therecaptured loans, so originated. Where the fair value ofto (ii) the aggregate MSRs to be transferredunpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, pay cash towhich the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in an amount equalsuch month. PFSI has further agreed to such fair value insteadallocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of transferring such MSRs.15%.

The MSR recapture agreement was amended and restated as of September 12, 2016; however, the fee structure was not amended in any material respect. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement,its terms, on September 12, 2020,June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods.periods, unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

Management Fees

UnderThe Company has a management agreement with PCM pursuant to which the Company pays PCM management fees as follows:

A base management fee that is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

A base management fee that is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

A performance incentive fee that is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

A performance incentive fee that is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to:to the sum of: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income attributable to common shares of beneficial interest and“net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity“equity” plus the high watermark,“high watermark”, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity;“equity”; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income“net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity“equity” plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity;“equity”; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income“net income” for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity“equity” plus the high watermark.“high watermark”.

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to common shares of beneficial interest computedCommon Shares calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussionsdiscussion between PCMthe Company’s Manager and the Company’s independent trustees and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent trustees.

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common shareCommon Share of all of the Company’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common sharesCommon Shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four-quarter period.


The “high“High watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the net income“net income” (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS yield (the target yield) for such quarter.the four quarters then ended. The “high watermark” starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. If the net income“net income” is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income“net income” is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for PCM to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s net income“net income” over (or under) the target yield, until the net income“net income” in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.“high watermark” amount.

The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both payable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares)Common Shares), at the Company’s option.

The management agreement was amended and restated as of September 12, 2016; however, the fee structure was not amended in any material respect. Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees payable to PCM recorded by the Company:15

Investing Activities

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

Effective February 1, 2013, the Company entered into a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which it purchased from PLS the rights to receive certain ESS from MSRs acquired by PLS from banks and other third party financial institutions. PLS was generally required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for the applicable Agency or investor.

To the extent PLS refinanced any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS sold to the Company, the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contained recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to the Company, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month was less than $200,000, PFSI was, at its option, permitted to pay cash to the Company in an amount equal to such fair value instead of transferring such ESS. The Company, only used the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement for the purpose of acquiring ESS relating to Fannie Mae MSRs.

Effective December 19, 2014, the Company entered intothrough a second master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement”wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) with PLS. The terms of the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that the Company only purchased ESS relating to Freddie Mac MSRs under the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement.

On February 29, 2016, the Company and PLS terminated the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and all amendments thereto. In connection with the termination of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, PLS reacquired from the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Fannie Mae ESS previously sold by PLS to the Company under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement. On February 29, 2016, PLS also reacquired from the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Freddie Mac ESS previously sold by PLS to the Company under the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement. The amount of ESS sold by the Company to PLS under these reacquisitions was $59.0 million.

On December 19, 2016, the Company, has an amended and restated a third master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PLS (the “12/19/16 Spread“Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar, pursuant to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that the Company has only purchased ESS relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs under the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement. Pursuant to the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement,which the Company may purchase from PLS, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by PLS, in which case PLS generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by the Company in connection with the parties’its participation in the GNMA MSR Facility (as defined below).

To the extent PLS refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS the Company has acquired, the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to the Company, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where

16


the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalentequal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, PLS 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 equivalentequal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require PLS 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, PLS may, at its option, wire cashsettle its recapture liability to the Company in cash in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.The remaining balance of the ESS was repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Financing Activities

PFSI held 75,000 of the Company’s common shares at both September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016.2020.

Repurchase Agreement with PLS

On December 19, 2016, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”),PMH, entered into a master repurchase agreement with PLS (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from PLS for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS acquired from PLS under the 12/19/16 Spread Acquisition Agreement. PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC, as guarantor (the “PC Repurchase Agreement”). The Issuer Trust was formed for the purpose of allowing PLS to finance MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs (the “GNMA MSR Facility”). In the first quarter of 2021, PLS repurchased the ESS from PMH at fair market value, effectively terminating the borrowing arrangements allowing PMH to finance its participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS.  

In connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in MSRs and ESS pursuant to the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. In return, the Issuer Trust (a) has issued to PLS, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016, known as the “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2016-MSRVF1” (the “VFN”), and (b) may, from time to time pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture, issue to institutional investors additional term notes (“Term Notes”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis by the participation certificates relating to the MSRs and ESS. The maximum principal balance of the VFN is $1,000,000,000.

The principal amount paid by PLS for the participation certificates under the PMH Repurchase Agreement is based upon a percentage of the market value of the underlying ESS. Upon PMH’s repurchase of the participation certificates, PMH is required to repay PLS the principal amount relating thereto plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and consistent with the weighted average note rate of the VFN and any outstanding Term Notes) to the date of such repurchase. PLS is then required to repay the Issuer Trust the corresponding amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement.

Note Payable to PLS

Before entering into the PMH Repurchase Agreement, PLS was a party to a repurchase agreement between it and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) (the “MSR Repo”), pursuant to which PLS financed Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advance receivables and pledged all of its rights and interests in any Ginnie Mae MSRs it owned to CSFB, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and PLS. In connection with the MSR Repo, the Company was party to an underlying loan and security agreement with PLS, pursuant to which the Company was able to borrow up to $150 million from PLS for the purpose of financing its investment in ESS (the “Underlying LSA”). The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA was based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged to PLS, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, the Company granted to PLS a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings, and PLS, in turn, re-pledged such ESS to CSFB under the MSR Repo. Interest accrued on the Company’s note relating to the Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. The underlying LSA was terminated in connection with the execution of the PMH Agreement.


Conditional Reimbursement of Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Underwriting Fees

In connection with its IPO, the Company conditionally agreed to reimburse PCM up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by PCM on the Company’s behalf (the “Conditional Reimbursement”). Also in connection with its IPO, the Company agreed to pay the IPO underwriters up to $5.9 million in contingent underwriting fees.$1 billion.

Consolidated VIEsNote 6—Variable Interest Entities

The Company is a variable interest holder in various Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) that relate to its investing and financing activities.

Credit Risk Transfer AgreementsArrangements

The Company has entered into certain loan sales arrangements pursuant to which it accepts credit risk relating to the loans sold in exchange for a portion of the interest earned on such loans. These arrangements absorb credit losses on such loans and include CRT Agreements, CRT strips and sales of loans that include firm commitments to purchase CRT securities.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”),PMC, entered into CRT Agreements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which PMC, through subsidiary trust entities, sellssold pools of mortgage loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining a portion of the credit risk underlying such mortgage loans (“Recourse Obligations”)Obligations as part of the retention of an interest-onlyIO ownership interestinterests in such mortgage loans. The mortgage loans subject to the CRT Agreements are transferred by PMC to subsidiary trust entities which sell the mortgage loans into Fannie Mae mortgage loan securitizations. Transferstransfers of mortgage loans subject to CRT Agreements receive sale accounting treatment upon fulfillment ofarrangements were accounted for as sales. The Company placed Deposits securing CRT arrangements into the criteria for sale recognition contained in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC.subsidiary trust entities to secure its Recourse Obligations. The pledged cash representsDeposits securing CRT arrangements represent the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to claims under its Recourse Obligations and isare the sole source of settlement of losses under the CRT Agreements.

The Company’s exposure to losses under its Recourse Obligations was initially established at rates ranging from 3.5% to 4.0% of the UPB of the loans sold under the CRT arrangements. As the UPB of the underlying loans subject to each CRT arrangements is reduced through repayments, the percentage exposure of each CRT arrangement will increase to maximums ranging from 4.5% to 5.0% of outstanding UPB, although the total dollar amount of exposure to losses does not increase. The final sales of loans subject to the CRT Agreements were made during May 2018.

Effective in June 2018, the Company began entering into different types of CRT arrangements. Under the new arrangements, the Company sold loans subject to agreements that required the Company to purchase securities that absorb incurred credit losses on such loans. The Company recognized these purchase commitments initially as a component of Net gains on loans acquired for sale; subsequent changes in fair value were recognized in Net gains (losses) on investments. The final sales of loans subject to this CRT arrangement were made during September 2020.

The Company purchased the securities subject to the firm commitments. Similar to the CRT Agreements, the Company accounts for the deposits collateralizing these securities as Deposits securing CRT arrangements and recognizes its IO ownership interests and Recourse Obligations as CRT strips which are included on the consolidated balance sheet in Derivative and credit risk transfer strip assets and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities. Like CRT Agreements, the Deposits securing CRT

Note 6—7— Fair Value

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured at or based on their fair values. Measurement at or based on fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the ManagerCompany has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.


The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. These may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and other inputs.

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing assets and liabilities, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the ManagerCompany is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and to their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

The Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

The ManagerCompany identified all of the Company’sPMT’s non-cash financial assets, its Firm commitment to purchase CRT securitiesand MSRs relating to non-commercial real estate secured mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%, to be accounted for at fair value. The ManagerCompany has elected to account for these assets at fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in incomeits results of operations as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

The ManagerCompany has also identified the Company’s asset-backedits Asset-backed financing of a VIE at fair value and interest onlyInterest-only security payable at fair value 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 loansthe assets at fair value or other assets collateralizing these financings. For other borrowings, the ManagerCompany has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt facility, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

The Company remeasures its REO based on fair value when it evaluates the REO for impairment. The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is measured at cost as indicated by the purchase price in the case of purchased REO or as measured by the fair value of the mortgage loan immediately before REO acquisition in the case of acquisition in settlement of a mortgage loan.sell. REO may be subsequently revalued after acquisition due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s fair value may not be supported by developing


market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loansin the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value

The Company evaluates its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value for impairment with reference to the asset’s fair value. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into pools with 50 basis point interest rate ranges for fixed-rate mortgage loans with interest rates between 3.0% and 4.5% and a single pool for mortgage loans with interest rates below 3.0%. MSRs relating to adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the interest rate pools is below the amortized cost of the MSRs, those MSRs are impaired.

When MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period income and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted using a valuation allowance. If the fair value of the MSRs subsequently increases, the increase in fair value is recognized in current period income only to the extent of the valuation allowance for the respective impairment stratum.

The Manager periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the fair value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover. When the Manager deems recovery of fair value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

CertainMost of the Company’s borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets, Exchangeable senior notes,and Assets sold to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. under agreements to repurchase are classified as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values.

The ManagerCompany has concluded that the fair values of Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchasethese borrowings other than Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and sale agreements, Notes payablemortgage servicing assets and Assets sold to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. under agreements to repurchaseExchangeable senior notes approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the borrowing agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates. rates and short maturities.

Valuation Governance

Most of the Company’s assets, its Asset-backed financing of a VIE at September 30, 2017fair value, Interest-only security payable at fair value and December 31, 2016 was $246.9 millionDerivative and $240.7 million, respectively.credit risk transfer strip liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period results of operations. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair value of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight. PFSI’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures. The fair value of the ExchangeableCompany’s IRLCs is developed by PFSI’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff and is reviewed by the PFSI’s Capital Markets Operations group.

With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to PFSI’s senior notesmanagement valuation committee, which oversees the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee. PFSI’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s chief operating, financial, investment, and risk officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, capital markets and risk management staffs.

The FAV group is estimated using a broker indicationresponsible for reporting to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value.value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Most of the Company’s assets, its Asset-backed financing of a VIE, Interest-only security payable and Derivative liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Manager’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Manager has assigned responsibility for estimating fair value of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant executive management oversight. The Manager’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures.

With respect to the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the FAV group reports to PCM’s valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PCM’s valuation committee. PCM’s valuation committee includes PFSI’s executive chairman, and chief executive, chief financial, chief enterprise operations, chief risk and deputy chief financial officers.

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to PCM’s valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.


The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff and is reviewed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Operations group.

The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:

Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company categorizes its current holdings of MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets. Fair value of these MBS is established based on quoted market prices for the Company’s MBS holdings or similar securities. Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net gain (loss)gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.operations.

Mortgage


Loans

Fair value of mortgage loans is estimated based on whether the mortgage loans are saleable into active markets:

Mortgage loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value are established using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent. For the mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, the quoted fair values of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a fair value for the mortgage loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliated brokers based on comparable securities and validates the brokers’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Manager believes are similar to the models and inputs used by other market participants.

Mortgage loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of distressed mortgage loans are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets and their fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status, property type, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds, loss severities or contracted selling price when applicable.

The valuation process for “Level 3” fair value mortgage loans includes the computation by stratum of the mortgage loans’ fair values and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The FAV group computes the effect on the valuation of changes in inputs such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the mortgage loan valuation.

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are measured by the effect on fair value of the change in the respective mortgage loan’s delinquency status and performance history at 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 are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the mortgage loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans at fair value are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.

(2)

Total

For loans acquired for sale, the fair values are established using the loans’ contracted selling price or quoted market price or market price equivalent.

For the loans at fair value held in a VIE, the quoted indications of fair value of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a fair value for the loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliated brokers based on comparable securities and validates the brokers’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Company believes are similar to the models and inputs used by other market participants.

Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of previously sold loans that the Company repurchased pursuant to the representation and warranties it provided to the purchaser and distressed loans, are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets:

For loans acquired for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets, fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status, property type, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speedspeeds, default speeds, loss severities or contracted selling price when applicable.

Distressed loan fair values are estimated based on the expected resolution to be realized from the individual asset’s disposition strategy. When a cash flow projection is measured using Life Total CPR.used to estimate the fair value of the resolution, those cash flows are discounted at annual rates up to 20%.

Excess Servicing Spread Purchased from PFSI

The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value asset. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of ESS. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of ESS include pricing spread (discount rate) and prepayment speed and discount rate.speed. Significant changes to those inputs in isolation may result in a significant change in the ESS fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.

ESS is generally subject to loss in fair value when interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to ESS. Reductions in the fair value of ESS affect income primarily through change in fair value. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net gain (loss) gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.operations. The remaining balance of the ESS was repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Derivative and Credit Risk Transfer Strip Assets and Liabilities

CRT Derivatives

The Company categorizes CRT derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The fair value of CRT derivatives is based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliated brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trust holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the Recourse Obligations and the IO ownership interests. Together, the Recourse Obligation and the IO ownership interest comprise the CRT derivative. Fair value of the CRT derivative is derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the fair value of the certificates.

The Company assesses the fair values it receives from nonaffiliated brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of CRT derivatives and CRT strips are the discount rate, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT derivatives are included in Net gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Involuntary prepayment speed is measured using Life Involuntary CPR. The negative involuntary prepayment speed reflects the expectation for reinstatement to the reference pool of a significant portion of the loans that previously triggered losses due to delinquency while under CARES Act forbearance upon their projected re-performance, as contractually provided for in certain CRT Agreements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

(4)

Remaining loss expectation is measured as expected future contractual losses divided by the UPB of the reference loans. The negative remaining loss expectation reflects the expectation of contractual reversals of previously incurred contractual losses due to the projected re-performance of a significant portion of the reference loans in the future.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, itsthe probability that the loan will be purchased under the commitment (the “pull-through rate”) and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in theupon sale of the mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loan will be purchased under the commitment (the “pull-through rate”).loan.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in the IRLCs’ fair value. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but also increase the pull-through rate for the mortgage loan principal and interest payment cash flow component that has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gaingains on mortgage loans acquired for sale in the consolidated statements of income.operations.

Hedging Derivatives

The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell mortgage loans based on quoted MBS prices. Fair values of derivative financial instruments basedactively traded on exchange traded market pricesexchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities; fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest raterates, volatilities and prices in the MBS marketor other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gaingains on mortgage loans acquired for sale,, Net gain (loss)gains (losses) on investments, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees – from nonaffiliates – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income.operations.

Repurchase Agreement Derivatives

Credit Risk Transfer Strips

The Company has a master repurchase agreement that includes incentives for financing mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics. These incentives are classified as embedded derivatives in the master repurchase agreement and are accounted for separate from the master repurchase agreement. The Company classifies these derivativescategorizes CRT strips as “Level 3” fair value assets. assets or liabilities. The fair value of CRT strips is based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliated brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interest in the trust holding the CRT strips and Deposits securing CRT arrangements, the IO ownership interest and Recourse Obligations. Together, the Recourse Obligation and the IO Ownership interest comprise the CRT strip. The Company applies adjustments to the fair value derived from these indications to account for contractual restrictions limiting PMT’s ability to sell certain of the certificates. Fair value of the CRT strips is derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing CRT arrangements from the fair value of the certificates derived from indications provided by the nonaffiliated brokers.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from either a broker’s price opinion, or a full appraisal, or the price given in a currentpending contract of sale.

REO fair values are reviewed by the Manager’sPLS staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the fair values received. PCM’sPLS staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the staff appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers will orderobtain an additional appraisal to determine fair value. ChangesRecognized changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.operations.


Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The fair value of MSRs is derived from the net positive cash flows associated with the servicing agreements. The Company receives a servicing fee based on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans subject to the servicing agreements. The Company generally has the right to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and the Company is generally entitled to retain any placement fees earned on funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.

The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread, the prepayment and default rates of the underlying mortgage loans (“prepayment speed”) and the 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. Recognized changesChanges in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net mortgage loan servicing fees – from nonaffiliates – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of income.operations.

MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected lifedecrease, annual per-loan cost of the underlying mortgage loans, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to the MSRs.servicing increases, or when returns required by market participants increase. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through recognition of the change in fair value and change in impairment. For MSRs backed by mortgage loans with historically low interest rates, factors other than interest rates (such as housing price changes) take on increasing influence on prepayment behavior of the underlying mortgage loans.value.

Weighted-average inputs are based on the UPB of the underlying loans.

The Company applies a pricing spreadspreads to the forward rates implied by the United States Dollar LIBORLIBOR/swap curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.

(2)

For MSRs carried at fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs is expected to result in a reduction in fair value which will be recognized in income. For MSRs carried at lower of amortized cost or fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs may result in recognition of MSR impairment. The extent of the recognized MSR impairment will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of such MSRs.

The Company records all derivative and CRT strip assets and liabilities at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period results of operations.

Derivative Activities

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating, investing and financing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and the Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.

Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations include:

IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase mortgage loans acquired for sale;

IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase loans acquired for sale;

CRT Agreements whereby the Company retains a Recourse Obligation relating to certain mortgage loans it sells into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations and an interest-only ownership interest in such mortgage loans; and

CRT Agreements whereby the Company retained a Recourse Obligation relating to certain loans it sold into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations as part of the retention of an IO ownership interest in such loans; and

Derivatives that are embedded in a master repurchase agreement that provides for the Company to receive interest expense offsets if it finances mortgage loans approved as satisfying certain consumer credit relief characteristics under the master repurchase agreement.

Derivatives that were embedded in a master repurchase agreement that provided for the Company to receive interest expense offsets if it financed loans approved as satisfying certain consumer credit relief characteristics under that master repurchase agreement.

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to price risk relative to the IRLCs it issues to correspondent sellers and to the mortgage loans it purchases as a result of issuing the IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time an IRLC is issued to a correspondent seller until the time the purchased mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair value of the IRLC or mortgage loan acquired for sale to decrease. The Company is exposed to losses related to its investmentmortgage production, servicing and MBS financing activities due to changes in MSRs if market mortgage interest rates decrease, because market interest rate decreases generally encourages mortgage refinancing activity, which reduces the expected life of the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs, causing the fair value of MSRs to decrease.as discussed below:

The Company is exposed to loss if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair value of MBS, IRLCs and loans acquired for sale to decrease.

The Company is exposed to losses if market mortgage interest rates decrease, because market interest rate decreases generally cause the fair value of MSRs and ESS to decrease.

To manage the price risk resulting from these interest rate risk,risks, the Company uses derivative financial instruments with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s MBS, inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans held in a VIE, ESS, IRLCs, MSRs and MSRs.MBS financing.

The Company records all derivative financial instrumentsand CRT strip assets at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.results of operations. The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting.

Note 13—Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

Certain borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans acquired for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of such mortgage loans and the sale of the resulting security. AThe commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount. The holdback amount is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Note 27—22—Income Taxes

  

The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.7% and 2.1%21.3% with consolidated pretax income of $91.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 21.3% and 6.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.March 31, 2021. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) recognized a tax expense of $4.8$19.4 million on pretax income of $12.0$88.1 million andfor the quarter ended March 31, 2020. For the same period in 2020, the TRS recognized tax expense of $0.9$10.1 million on incomepretax loss of $4.5$21.8 million, while the Company’s reported consolidated pretax income was $24.2 million and $78.6 millionloss for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the same periods in 2016, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary recognized tax expense of $9.7 million and $3.6 million on income of $24.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively, while the Company’s reported consolidated pretax incomeMarch 31, 2020 was $45.0 million and $47.9 million during such periods. The relative values between the tax benefit or expense at the taxable REIT subsidiary and the Company’s consolidated pretax income drive the fluctuation in the effective tax rate.$584.4 million. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is duegenerally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2021, the valuation allowance was reduced to $0 from the $110,000 valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2020 as the result of positive GAAP income at the TRS for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.

The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, introduced a number of tax law changes which are generally taxpayer favorable and, in December 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act was signed into law.  No material changes in our effective income tax rates resulted from either Act.  The CARES Act does provide for carry back of losses from 2018, 2019 and 2020. However, the TRS does not have taxable income from prior years to which the losses could be carried back.

In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends.


Note 28—23—Earnings Per Share

The Company grants restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. Unvested share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method.

Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income reduced by preferred dividends and income attributable to the participating securities,securities) by the weighted-averageweighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to diluted shareholders, which adds back to net income the interest expense, net of applicable income taxes, on the Company’s Exchangeable2020 Notes, by the weighted-averageweighted average common shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued. In periods in whichThe Company issued the Exchangeable Notes. The Exchangeable Notes include cash conversion options. The Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities areintends to cash settle the Exchangeable Notes. Therefore, the effect of conversion of the Exchangeable Notes is excluded from the diluted lossearnings (loss) per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.share.

Note 29—24—Segments and Related Information

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company changed the composition of its operating segments. The reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker has changed as the Company’s investment activities have become more diversified. The Manager has focused this broadened investment base on two classes of investments: credit sensitive and interest rate sensitive mortgage related assets.  As this focus has developed, the Manager’s reporting on and management of the Company’s investments has also developed along these lines.  Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Manager re-evaluated this new information in relation to its definition of its operating segments.

The Company has redefined its segment reporting to separately distinguish its investment activities between credit sensitive and interest rate sensitive investments and certain corporate activities.

Credit sensitive investment strategies include investmentsoperates in distressed mortgage loans, REO, CRT Agreements, non-Agency subordinated bonds and small balance commercial real estate mortgage loans. Interest rate sensitive strategies include investments4 segments as described in MSRs, ESS, Agency and senior non-Agency MBS and the related interest rate hedging activities.  The corporate segment includes certain interest income, management fee and corporate expense amounts.

Segment results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been restated to conform prior year presentation to the new segment composition.Note 1Organization.

A tangible net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of the UPB of the Company’s total 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for others;

A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%; and

A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%; and

Liquidity equal to or exceeding 3.5 basis points multiplied by the aggregate UPB of all mortgages secured by 1-4 unit residential properties serviced for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (“Agency Mortgage Servicing”) plus 200 basis points multiplied by the sum of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that exceeds 6% of Agency Mortgage Servicing.


A liquidity requirement effective June 30, 2020 equal to 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB less 70% of such nonperforming Agency servicing UPB in excess of 600 basis points where the underlying loans are in forbearance but were current at the time they entered forbearance.

Note 32—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the guidance in the Revenue Recognition topic of the ASC. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers.

Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts.

The FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including:

In August 2015, ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2015-14”). This update deferred the initial effective date of ASU 2014-09. As a result of the issuance of ASU 2015-14, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

In March 2016, ASU 2016-08, Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments to this update are intended to improve the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09 by clarifying how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e. the specified good or service) and how an entity should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements.

In May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments to this update clarify certain core recognition principles and provide practical expedients available at transition. The improvements address collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.

In December 2016, ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments to this update:

o

Clarify that guarantee fees within the scope of the Guarantees topic of the ASC (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC. Entities should see the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the ASC, for guarantees accounted for as derivatives.


o

Clarify the Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers subtopic of the ASC that when performing impairment testing an entity should (a) consider expected contract renewals and extensions and (b) include both the amount of consideration it already has received but has not recognized as revenue and the amount it expects to receive in the future.

o

Clarify the interaction of impairment testing with guidance in other ASC topics that impairment testing first should be performed on assets not within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other and the Property, Plant, and Equipment topics (such as assets within the Inventory topic of the ASC), then assets within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs topic of the ASC, then asset groups and reporting units within the scope of the Other Assets and Deferred Costs, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other and the Property, Plant, and Equipment topics of the ASC.

o

Clarify that all contracts within the scope of the Financial Services – Insurance topic of the ASC are excluded from the scope of the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic.

o

Provide optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue and expands the information that is required to be disclosed when an entity applies one of the optional exemptions.

o

Clarify that the disclosure of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods applies to all performance obligations and is not limited to performance obligations with corresponding contract balances.

In February 2017, ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition ofNonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) (“ASU 2017-05”). The amendments to this update clarify the scope of the Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 clarifies that:

o

A financial asset is within the scope of the Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and defines the term in substance nonfinancial asset, in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets.

o

It excludes all businesses and nonprofit activities from the scope of the Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets subtopic of the ASC. Derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities should be accounted for in accordance with the Consolidation—Overall subtopic of the ASC.

o

An entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it.

o

An entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations.

o

An entity must derecognize a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it (1) does not have (or ceases to have) a controlling financial interest in the legal entity that holds the asset in accordance with the Consolidations topic and (2) transfers control of the asset in accordance with the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC. Once an entity transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset, it is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives (or retains) at fair value.

The Manager has evaluated the effect of adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its amendments and their effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and has concluded that ASU 2014-09 will not have a significant effect on such financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, and the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.


ASU 2016-01 requires that:

All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) with readily determinable fair values will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.

When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The accumulated gains and losses due to these changes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings if the financial liability is settled before maturity.

For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, public business entities will be required to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or fair value) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities).

Public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost.

Entities will have to assess the realizability of a deferred tax asset related to a debt security classified as available for sale in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income is permitted and can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The Manager does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including:

Modifies the accounting for income taxes relating to share-based payments. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of income. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in capital; tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or in the consolidated statement of income in the period they reduce income taxes payable.

Changes the classification of excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity.

Changes the requirement to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. Under ASC 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest as presently required or account for forfeitures when they occur. Under current GAAP, accruals of compensation cost are based on the number of awards that are expected to vest.

Changes the tax withholding requirements for share-based payment awards to qualify for equity accounting. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Under current GAAP, for an award to qualify for equity classification is that an entity cannot partially settle the award in cash in excess of the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements.

Establishes GAAP for the classification of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax- withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This guidance establishes GAAP related to the classification of withholding taxes in the statement of cash flows as there is no such guidance under current GAAP.


ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. The adoption ASU 2016-09 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 33—27—Subsequent Events

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

On October 27, 2017,period.

Our Company

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, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. Our investment focus is on the mortgage-related assets that we create through our correspondent production activities, including mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and credit risk transfer agreements (“CRT Agreements”). We have pursued this objective largely by acquiring, pooling and selling newly originated prime credit quality residential mortgage loans (“correspondent production”CRT”) and retaining the MSRs relating to such mortgage loans and investing inarrangements, which include CRT Agreements relating to mortgage loan sales.and CRT strips that absorb credit losses on certain of the loans we sold. We also invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”) on MSRs acquired by PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), and commercial real estate loans that finance multifamily and other commercial real estate.. We have also historically invested in distressed mortgage assets (mortgage loans(loans and real estate acquired in settlement of mortgage loans)loans (“REO”)), which are no longer our primary focus for new investments.we have substantially liquidated.

We are externally managed by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on U.S residentialU.S. mortgage loans. Most of our mortgage loan portfolio isassets. Our loans and MSRs are serviced by PLS.

To the extent that we purchase mortgage loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) through the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”), or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (the “VA”) or U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such mortgage loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer and we are not. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent lenders that purchase both government and conventional mortgage loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days that mortgage loans are held by us prior to purchase by PLS, on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of each mortgage loan.

Credit Sensitive Investments

CRT AgreementsArrangements

At present, we are no longer creating new CRT investments as the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) instructed the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) to gradually wind down new front-end lender risk share transactions such as CRT investments as of the end of 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recognized investment gain of $154.2 million relating to our holdings of CRT securities. We believe that CRT Agreements are a long-term investment that can produce attractive risk-adjusted returns through our own mortgage production while aligning with Fannie Mae’s strategic goal to attract private capital investment in GSE credit risk. As of September 30, 2017, ourheld net CRT-related investments in CRT Agreements totaled $602.6 million, comprised(comprised of deposits securing CRT Agreementsarrangements, CRT derivatives, CRT strips and CRT derivatives. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made deposits securing CRT Agreementsinterest-only security payable) totaling $45.0 million and $102.1 million, respectively, and committed to fund an additional $108.1 million and $264.2 million, respectively.

Distressed Mortgage Assets

We have invested in distressed mortgage assets through direct acquisitions of mortgage loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”) from institutions such as banks and mortgage companies. A substantial portion of the distressed mortgage assets we have purchased has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc.

We seek to maximize the fair 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 loan delinquency, our objective is timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the mortgage loan through the use, in part, of short sales and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. We held distressed mortgage loans and REO with carrying values totaling $1.2 billion and $1.6$2.6 billion at September 30, 2017, and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, respectively.2021.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we continued to reduce our investment in distressed mortgage assets. During these periods we received proceeds from liquidation, payoffs, paydowns and sales from our portfolio of mortgage loans and REO as shown below:

We supplement our investments in distressed mortgage assets through our participation in other credit-sensitive mortgage-related activities, including:

Acquisition of small balance (typically under $10 million) commercial real estate loans. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired $25.4 million and $65.2 million, respectively, in fair value of small balance commercial real estate loans as compared to $3.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. We held commercial real estate secured mortgage loans for sale with fair values totaling $8.9 million and $9.0 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

To the extent that we transfer correspondent production loans into a private label securitization, retention of a portion of the securities created in the securitization transaction. Our private label securitization is accounted for as a financing arrangement. Sales of securities included in the securitization are treated as issuances of debt. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we did not issue any of such securities. Our equity in the mortgage loans subject to a private label securitization, net of asset-backed financings of $318.4 million and $353.9 million, totaled $13.5 million and $13.3 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.


Interest Rate Sensitive Investments

Our interest rate sensitive investments include:

Mortgage servicing rights. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we received $407.7 million of MSRs as proceeds from sales of loans acquired for sale. We held $2.4 billion of MSRs at fair value at March 31, 2021.

REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities. We purchased and sold $1.3 billion of MBS during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The purchases and sales during the period reflect a restructuring of our investment in MBS aimed at reducing prepayment and price risk relating to these assets. We held MBS with fair values totaling $1.9 billion at March 31, 2021.

Mortgage servicing rights. 58


Correspondent Production

Our correspondent production activities involve the acquisition and sale of newly originated prime credit quality residential loans. Correspondent production serves as the source of our investments in MSRs are primarily created in ourand, through 2020, CRT arrangements. Our correspondent production activities, where we receive MSRs as a portion of the proceeds from our sale of mortgage loans. We received MSRs totaling $82.8 million and $207.4 million during the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $77.6 million and $173.9 million during the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Ourresulting investment in MSRs totaled $790.3 million and $656.6 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.activity are summarized below:

REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities. We purchased MBS with fair values totaling $251.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, none of which were purchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $301.7 million and $551.7 million, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our investment in MBS totaled $1.0 billion and $865.1 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

ESS relating to MSRs held by PFSI. We did not purchase any ESS from PFSI during 2016 or 2017. However, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of ESS pursuant to a recapture agreement with PFSI, compared to receipt of $1.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of ESS pursuant to such recapture agreement for the same periods in 2016. Our investment in ESS totaled $248.8 million and $288.7 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Initial recognition of firm commitment upon sale of loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued $310.0 million of cumulative redeemable preferred shares with initial dividend rates of 8.000-8.125%. These shares are redeemable at our option beginning at various dates in 2024, at which dates, the dividend rates will also convert to floating rates indexed to three-month LIBOR or its replacement.

Our board of trustees has authorized a repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $200 million of our outstanding common shares. We repurchased and retired approximately 1.0 million and 1.1 million common shares at a cost of $16.4 million and $18.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and approximately 0.7 million and 7.0 million common shares at a cost of $10.6 million and $93.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. A cumulative total of approximately 9.5 million common shares have been repurchased at a cost of $133.4 million under the program since its inception.Taxation

We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We believe that weREIT and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet certainapplicable REIT 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 production business, is conducted in our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we have mademake 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.

ResultsWe evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required based on the consideration of Operationsall available positive and negative evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Our evaluation considers, among other factors, taxable loss carryback availability, expectations of sufficient future taxable income, trends in earnings, existence of taxable income in recent years, the future reversal of temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented, if required.  The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which the related deferred tax assets become deductible.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, certain states were impacted by hurricanes, primarily in Texas, Florida and Georgia. Non-Cash Income

A substantial portion of our investments are secured by or otherwise tied to real estate in government-declared disaster areas affected by these events. We have evaluated the effect of these events on our assets, including the valuation of our MSRs and CRT Agreements, based on the information that is currently available to us. With respect to our MSRs, we have concluded that most of our loss exposure is addressed by borrower hazard insurance and the Agency guarantees relating to the affected loans. With respect to our CRT Agreements we believe their fair value was affected during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, by market reaction to prospective credit losses as a result of these events. Prospectively, we expect to incur increased delinquency-based servicing fee expense to address temporary increases in delinquencies in the affected areas, and we expect our CRT Agreements to absorb greater losses as a result of delinquencies. However, we do not expect significant negative effects on our future earnings as a result of these events.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded net income of $19.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, and net income of $76.9 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale of $18.0 million and $54.3 million, respectively, supplemented by net mortgage loan servicing fees of $21.9 million and $49.3 million, respectively, net gain on investments of $13.8 million and $58.1 million, respectively, and net interest income of $11.3 million and $36.2 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) totaling $17.4 billion and $50.1 billion, respectively. Net gains on such mortgage loans included $82.8 million and $207.4 million of MSRs retained upon sale of such loans. At September 30, 2017, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $1.3 billion, $202.3 million of which were pending sale to PLS.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net income of $35.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, and net income of $44.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects net interest income of $17.8 million and $55.3 million, and net mortgage loan servicing fees of $15.8 million and $47.0 million, respectively, net gain on investments totaling $14.3 million and net loss on investments totaling $5.1 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we issued IRLCs totaling $21.6 billion and $47.9 billion, respectively. We recognized net gains on such IRLCs and mortgage loans totaling approximately $43.9 million and $83.1 million, respectively, including $77.6 million and $173.9 million of MSRs retained upon sale of such loans. At September 30, 2016, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $2.0 billion, $575.5 million of which were pending sale to PLS.  

Our net income decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to decreased net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale. Our net income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to increased gains from our investments in CRT Agreements and reduced loss from our investments in ESS. Net gains on investments were $13.8 million and $58.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing a decrease of $0.4 million and an increase of $63.3 million from the same periods in 2016.  


Non-Cash Income

Net investment income includesis comprised of non-cash items, including fair value adjustments, andrecognition of the fair value of assets created and liabilities incurred in mortgage loan sale transactions and the capitalization and amortization of certain assets and liabilities. Because we have elected, or are required by generally accepted accounting principles, to record certain of our financial assets (comprised of MBS, mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value ESS, and derivatives)ESS), a portion ofour firm commitment to purchase CRT securities, our derivatives, our MSRs, and our asset-backed financing and interest-only security payable at fair value, a substantial portion of the income or loss we record with respect to such assets and liabilities results from non-cash changes in fair value. Net investment income also includes non-cash interest income arising from capitalization of delinquent interest on mortgage loans upon completion of the modification of such loans and accrual of unearned discounts relating to MBS, mortgage loans held in a VIE, and asset-backed financing.

Cash is generated when mortgage loan investments are paid down, paid off or sold, when payments of principal and interest occur on such mortgage loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property securing the mortgage 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 mortgage loan sales transactions. We receive cash related to MSRs in the form of mortgage loan servicing fees and we pay cash relating to our provision for representations and warranties when we repurchase mortgage loans or settle loss claims from investors. 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 following table illustrates the proceeds received during the period from dispositions and paydowns of distressed mortgage loan and REO investments, net gain in fair value that we accumulated over the period during which we owned such investments liquidated during the period, and additional net gain realized upon liquidation of such assets:

During 2020, the United States was significantly impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic (the “Pandemic” or “COVID-19”) and the effects of market and government responses to the Pandemic. These developments have resulted in continued economic uncertainty, financial hardships and unemployment for many existing borrowers.

As part of its response to the Pandemic, the federal government included requirements in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that we provide borrowers with loans we service subject to Agency securitizations with substantial payment forbearance. As a result of this requirement, we have seen a large increase in delinquencies in our servicing portfolio which has increased our cost to service those loans and may require us to finance substantial amounts of advances of principal and interest payments to the holders of the securities holding those loans, as well as property tax and insurance costs to protect investor’s interest in the properties collateralizing the loans. As of December 31, 2020, 2.3% of the loans in our MSR portfolio were in COVID-19 pandemic related forbearance provided for under the CARES Act.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic created significant disruption in the financial markets as well as changing market perceptions of future credit losses to be incurred on investments in mortgage loans. The primary effect of this disruption on the Company has been on our credit sensitive strategies. Since the first quarter of 2020, the credit markets have recovered somewhat, as reflected most recently in the $154.0 million in fair value gains we recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The mortgage origination market for 2020 was estimated at $4.0 trillion. Current forecasts estimate the origination market to approximate $3.6 trillion for 2021. The uncertainties and strains on many mortgage lenders induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting disruptions in the financial markets caused some market participants to scale back or exit mortgage loan production activities early in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, combined with constraints on mortgage industry origination capacity that existed before the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed us to realize higher gain-on sale margins in our correspondent production activities during most of 2020. With the return of other market participants, our gain-on-sale margins in our correspondent production activities have moderated from 2020 levels.

The current environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States is historically unprecedented and the source of much uncertainty surrounding future economic and market prospects and the ongoing effects of this continuing situation on our future

61


prospects are difficult to anticipate. For further discussion of this and other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Our results of operations increased by $666.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, reflecting the effect of the improved the fair value performance of our CRT-related investments partially offset by declines in both MSR valuation performance net of hedging results and MBS fair values during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in pretax results is summarized below:

Our credit sensitive strategies segment reflects the severe impact of the market conditions during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 on our investments in CRT arrangements; during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a $1.1 billion increase in net gains on our CRT arrangements as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Our interest rate sensitive strategies segment was negatively affected by a decrease in net servicing fees of $194.5 million caused by fair value adjustments net of hedging results to our investment in MSRs, a $187.1 million decrease in gains on MBS and a $15.4 million decrease in net interest income.

Growth in production volume in our correspondent production business.segment was more-than offset by reductions in our gain on sale margins during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as industry capacity caught up with loan demand resulting in a $29.7 million decrease in pretax income as compared to the same period in 2020.

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 mortgage loan at acquisition and on our success in working with the borrower to resolve the distress in the mortgage loan. Accumulated gains include the amount of accumulated valuation gains and losses recognized throughout the holding period and, in the case of REO, include estimated direct transaction costs to be 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 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 $8.6 million and $18.0 million for assets liquidated during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $3.3 million and $28.0 million during the same periods in 2016.

Net Investment Income

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recordedOur net investment income of $75.8 million and $224.2 million, respectively, comprised primarily of $18.0 million and $54.3 million, respectively, of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, $13.8 million and $58.1 million, respectively, of net gain on investments, $21.9 million and $49.3 million, respectively, of net loan servicing fees, $11.3 million and $36.2 million, respectively, of net interest income, and $11.7 million and $30.5 million of mortgage loan origination fees, partially offset by $3.1 million and $10.9 million of losses from results of REO.is summarized below:

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net investment income of $103.3 million and $203.2 million, respectively, comprised primarily of $43.9 million and $83.1 million of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, $15.8 million and $47.0 million of net loan servicing fees, $17.8 million and $55.3 million of net interest income and $12.7 million and $28.1 million of loan origination fees, partially offset by $3.3 million and $11.9 million of losses from results of REO and $14.3 million and $(5.1) million of net gain (loss) on investments.

The changes in gain on loans acquired for sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, reflect both the effects of increasing demand in the mortgage market on our loan sales volume and of industry capacity catching up with demand on our gain on sale margins.

Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans

Our net gain on sale of loans includes our estimates of gains or losses we expect to realize upon the sale of mortgage loans acquired for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceedswe have committed to purchase but have not yet purchased or sold. Therefore, we recognize a substantial portion of our net gain on sale that include both cashbefore we purchase the loans. This gain is reflected on our balance sheet as IRLC derivative assets and liabilities. We adjust the fair value of our IRLCs as the loan acquisition process progresses until we complete the acquisition or the commitment is canceled. Such adjustments are included in our gain on sale of loans. The fair value of our IRLCs become part of the carrying value of our loans when we complete the purchase of the loans.

63


The MSRs and liability for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of MSRs. future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 756% of our gain on sale of loans at fair value for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 511% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These estimates change as circumstances change, and changes in these estimates are recognized in our results of operations in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs significantly affect our results of operations. During the time we were selling loans into CRT arrangements we recognized the fair value of our commitment to purchase CRT securities when we sold loans subject to CRT arrangements. This fair value represents the difference between the expected fair value of the CRT securities we committed to purchase and their contractual purchase price. How we measure and update our measurements of our firm commitment to purchase CRT securities and MSRs is detailed in Note 7 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

We also recognize a liability for potential losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties createdwe provide to purchasers in the mortgageour loan sales transactions.

The decrease in gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to the effect of decreased production profit margins during 2017 as compared to 2016. The decrease in interest rate lock volume during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, reflects the generally rising interest rates in the mortgage market, which has a negative influence on demand for mortgage lending. Reduced demand negatively influences profit margins by causing increased price competition in the mortgage marketplace.


Provision for Losses on Representations and Warranties

We 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 to the purchasers. Our agreements with the purchasers include representations and warranties related to the mortgage loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and issuerinsurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the mortgage loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

We recorded a provision for losses relating to representations and warranties relating to current loan sales of $8.5 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in the provision relating to current loan sales reflects the increase on our loan sales volume as well as fewer loans being subject to credit risk transfer arrangements.

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.insurer against credit losses attributable to the loans with indemnified defects. 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 lenderssellers 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 relatedthose repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.

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

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased mortgage loans with UPBs totaling $2.6 million and $8.7 million and charged netThe losses to the liability foron representations and warranties totaling $83,000 and $135,000, respectively, as compared to repurchases of $3.3 million and $9.9 million and recorded net losses of $14,000 and $424,000, respectively, during the same periods in 2016. The losses we have recorded to date have been moderated by our ability to recover most of the losses inherent in the repurchased mortgage loans from the correspondent sellers. As the outstanding balance of mortgage loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, andas the mortgage loans sold season, as our investors’ and guarantors’ loss mitigation strategies change and as our correspondent sellers’ ability and willingness to repurchase loans change, we expect that the level of repurchase activity and associated losses may increase.


The method we use to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of our estimates of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, severity of loss in the event of default 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.

The amount of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable 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 mortgage loan from the selling correspondent originatorseller and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying mortgage loans. We may be required to incur losses related to such representations and warranties for several periods after the mortgage loans are sold or liquidated.

AsWe record adjustments to our liability for losses on representations and warranties as economic fundamentals change, and as investor and Agency evaluations of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change and as economic conditions affect our correspondent sellers’ ability or willingness to fulfill their recourse obligations to us, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change, and we may be required to recordus. Such adjustments to our recorded liability for losses on representations and warranties which may be material to our financial conditionposition and income. Such adjustmentsincome in future periods.

Adjustments to our liability for representations and warranties are included as a component of our Net gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value. We recorded a $1.6 million and $7.5$1.4 million reduction in liabilitiesliability for representations and warranties during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 due to our revised expectation of lower than originally anticipated losses along withthe effects of certain mortgage loans reaching specified performance histories identified by the Agencies as sufficient to limit repurchase claims relating to such mortgage loans.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent sellers relating to our purchase of mortgage loans from those sellers. The changesincrease in fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016 is reflective2020, reflects an increase in our purchases of the changes in the volume of mortgage loans we purchased during the 2017 periods.with delivery fees.

The increaseshift in net gain (loss) on investments duringfrom a net loss for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, as compared to 2016, was caused by gainsa gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, reflects the effect of the disruption in the credit markets during 2020 on our CRT Agreementsinvestments, which has partially reversed as reflected in the valuation gains recognized during the periodsquarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the periods ended September 30, 2016 as a result of both tightening of credit spreads during the first half of 2017 as compared to 2016 and growth in our investments in CRT Agreements. This improvement was supplemented by a significantly reduced loss on the Company’s investment in ESS during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The reduced loss reflects interest rates which did not decrease as sharply during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and thus did not have as negative an impact on the expected life and fair value of ESS, along with a smaller average investment in ESS as compared to 2016.March 31, 2021.

Mortgage Loans at fair value – Held in a VIE

Loans at fair value held in a VIE incurred a loss of $2.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to a loss of $2.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 reflect increasing interest rates during the quarter whereas the losses recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 related to the uncertainty surrounding borrower performance at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because we have elected to record our mortgage loans at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such mortgage loans results from changes in fair value. Valuation changes amounted to gains of $2.8 million and $5.3 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to losses of $4.8 million and $6.3 million for the same periods in 2016. We recognize gain (loss) relating to mortgage loans subject to pending sales contracts in the valuation changes. Gains and losses on sales represent settlement adjustments realized at the date of sale.

Implementing long-term, sustainable loan modification is one means by which we endeavor to increase the fair value of the distressed mortgage loans which we have typically purchased at discounts to their UPB. Loan modifications typically include capitalization of delinquent interest on such mortgage loans.

The valuation changes on performing mortgage 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 mortgage loan. However, the fair value of the mortgage loan does not immediately increase significantly. Therefore, the interest income we recognize is offset by a valuation loss of corresponding magnitude. Changes in other inputs may result in further valuation changes to the mortgage loan, and subsequent performance of a modified mortgage loan will be reflected in its future fair value. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized interest totaling $7.0 million and $27.7 million, respectively, as compared to $23.1 million and $62.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Valuation gains on performing mortgage loans increased by $1.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the comparable periods in 2016, due to strong observed market activity in the periods for portfolios with similar performance characteristics. Valuation losses on the nonperforming mortgage loans increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016, as home price indications were below prior forecasts,2020. The increase in addition to increased uncertainty regardingresults reflects the realization of cash flows on the remaining population of loans.

Our disposition strategy includes identification of the most financially beneficial resolution. Such resolutions may include modification, acquisition of the property securing the distressed mortgage loan or sale of the loan. Absent sale or securitization of reperforming and modified mortgage loans, and unlikesubstantial liquidation of a defaulted mortgage loan, we expect that recovery of our remaining investment in a performing modified mortgage loan will take place generally over a perioddistressed loans. Our investment in distressed loans was $7.8 million as of several years, during which we earn and collect interest income on such mortgage loan. Our current expectation is that we will receive cash on modified mortgage loans through monthly borrower payments, payoffs or acquisition of the property securing the mortgage loans and liquidation of the property in the event the borrower subsequently defaults.

Large-scale refinancing of modified distressed 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 mortgage loans on properties whose loan-to-value ratios exceed current underwriting guidelines for new mortgage loans. Further, modified mortgage loans generally require a period of acceptable borrower performance for consideration in most Agency refinance programs.

Net Mortgage Loan Servicing Fees

Our correspondent production activity is the primary source of our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. When we sell mortgage loans, we generally enter into a contract to service the mortgagethose loans and we recognize the fair value of such contracts as MSRs. Under these contracts, we are required to perform mortgage 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 mortgage loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest,the loan; holding and remitting custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.

Net mortgage loan servicing fees increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the comparable periods in 2016 by $6.1decreased $194.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The increase in net mortgage servicing fees during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, asMarch 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, wasMarch 31, 2020, due primarily attributable to growththe change in valuation results, net of hedging results. We recognized appreciation in fair value of our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The increase in net servicing feesasset during the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 as compared to 2016 was due to growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio that was partially offset by decreased MSR hedging gains.

We have entered into an MSR recapture agreement that requires PLS to transfer to us the 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 us in an amount equal to such fair market value in place of transferring such MSRs. We recognized MSR recapture incomeloss during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $333,000 and $859,000, respectively, as compared to $409,000 and $849,000, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020. This improvement was more-than offset by an increase in hedging losses.

We have identified two classes of MSRs: originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%. Our accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% are accounted for using the amortization method. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period income.68

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we earned net interest income of $11.3 million and $36.2 million, respectively, as compared to $17.8 million and $55.3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in net interest income between quarters was due primarily to a decrease in average investment in distressed mortgage loans, which are our highest yielding assets, compounded by the growth in our borrowings to finance non-interest earning MSRs and CRT. This reduction was partially offset by growth in our average investment in MBS.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized interest income on distressed mortgage loans and mortgage loans held by VIEs totaling $18.0 million and $64.8 million, respectively, including $7.0 million and $27.7 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications, which compares to $33.0 million and $95.7 million, including $23.1 million and $62.8 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in interest income was due to both the result of continuing sales and liquidations of our distressed mortgage loans and a reduction in yield on our portfolio caused by reduced capitalization of delinquent interest pursuant to mortgage loan modifications.


At September 30, 2017, approximately 48% of the fair value of our distressed mortgage loan portfolio was nonperforming, as compared to 55% at December 31, 2016. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming mortgage 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 is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the mortgage loans’ UPBs and performance status as we generally have purchased our distressed mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their UPB.

Nonperforming mortgage loans and REO generally take longer than performing mortgage loans to generate cash flow 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. At September 30, 2017, we held $488.1 million in fair value of nonperforming mortgage loans and $185.0 million in carrying value of REO, as compared to $743.0 million in fair value of nonperforming mortgage loans and $274.1 million in carrying value of REO at December 31, 2016.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred interest expense totaling $40.3 million and $115.9 million, respectively, as compared to $40.3 million and $108.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our interest cost on interest bearing liabilities was 3.44% and 3.36% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 3.28% and 3.22% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The change in interest expense reflects higher interest rates.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded net losses of $3.1 million and $10.9 million, respectively, as compared to $3.3 million and $11.9 million for the same periods in 2016, respectively, in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

Losses from REOs during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 decreased fromMarch 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in losses from REOs during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, was2020, is due to the smaller overall REO portfolio during 2017 as compared to 2016.to:


An increase in interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations resulting from the increased levels of prepayment activity in our MSR portfolio. In many cases, when a borrower repays a loan, we are responsible for paying the full month’s interest to the holders of the Agency securities that are backed by the loan regardless of when in the month the borrower repays the loan.

A decrease in earnings from placement fees relating to custodial funds managed for borrowers and investors and deposits securing CRT arrangements which reflect the effect of decreasing interest rates we earn on these assets.

Mortgage Loan Fulfillment Fees

Mortgage loanLoan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PLS 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. Mortgageincrease in loan fulfillment fees and relatedof $18.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 2020, is primarily due to an increase in the volume of loans fulfilled for us by PFSI, partially offset by a change in the fulfillment volumefee structure described in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties.

The decrease in loan fulfillmentLoan servicing fees of $3.7increased by $4.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, is primarily due to a decrease in the volume of Agency-eligible mortgage loans we purchased in our correspondent production activities, partially offset by a decrease in the average fulfillment fee rate charged by PFSI due to contractual reductions in the fulfillment fee following a change in the mortgage banking services agreement with PFSI in September 2016.

Mortgage Loan Servicing Fees

Mortgage loan servicing fees decreased by $6.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2020. We incur mortgage loan servicing fees primarily in support of our investment in mortgage loans at fair value and our mortgage loan servicingMSR portfolio. The decreaseincrease in mortgage loan servicing fees was primarily due to a reductiongrowth in our portfolio of MSRs and the fees largely driven by activity-based fees assessed in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 for a large sale of reperforming loans, which did not recur in 2017 along with a decrease from continuing liquidations of our distressed mortgage loan portfolio. This decrease was offset by an increase in servicing fees resulting from the ongoing growth of our MSR portfolio. Servicing feeswe incur relating to distressed mortgage loans are significantly higher than those relating to MSRs due to the increased cost of servicing such loans. Therefore, reductions in the balance of distressed mortgage loans have a much more significant effect on mortgageCARES Act loan servicing fees than the additions of new MSRs.

Our base management fees are based on the level of our total shareholders’ equity.2020. The level of our performance incentive fee is based on our profitability in relation to our common shareholders’ equity.

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.


Compensation

Compensation expense decreased $441,000 and increased $103,000, duringdecrease for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2021, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016,2020, is due to the decrease in base management fees. The decrease in base management fees reflects the decrease during 2021, as compared to 2020, in the adjusted average shareholders’ equity on which our base management fees are based. We did not recognize performance incentive fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to the effect of the losses we incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 on our performance compared to the high watermark, which is required to be exceeded to earn quarterly performance incentive fees.

Loan origination

Loan origination expenses increased $5.1 million, or 119%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily reflecting the increases in our loan originations produced through our correspondent production activities.

Loan collection and liquidation

Loan collection and liquidation expenses increased $3.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, due to borrower assistance expenses we incurred relating to loans in our CRT reference pools. We incurred this expense to assist certain borrowers in mitigating loan delinquencies they incurred as a result of dislocations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic as an alternative to incurring losses in the CRT arrangements.

Compensation expense increased $1.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 2020, primarily due to fluctuations inincreased share-based compensation expense, reflecting the fluctuationincrease in expected future vestings of equity awards as a result of our common share price, which affectsprojected earnings performance achieving the expense relating to our grants accounted for using variable accounting.

Mortgage Loan Collection and Liquidation

Mortgage loan collection and liquidation expenses decreased $5.3 million and $8.2 million during the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due to non-recurrencetargets included in the 2017 period of certain forbearance costs incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we also realized increased recoveries of previously incurred costs, as compared to 2016.outstanding performance-based awards.

Other expenses increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, by $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, primarily due to higher expenses incurred in the management of our real estate held for investment and to increased bank service charges.


Income Taxes

We have elected to treat PMC as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“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.us. 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 operations.

OurThe Company’s effective tax rate was 19.7% and 2.1% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 21.3% and 6.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Our taxable REIT subsidiary recognized a tax expense of $4.8 million on income of $12.0 million and tax expense of $0.9 million on income of $4.5 million while our reportedwith consolidated pretax income was $24.2 million and $78.6of $91 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the same periods in 2016, theMarch 31, 2021. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) recognized tax expense of $9.7 million and $3.6$19.4 million on pretax income of $24.2$88.1 million and $9.0for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. For the same period in 2020, the TRS recognized tax expense of $10.1 million respectively,on pretax loss of $21.8 million, while ourthe Company’s reported consolidated pretax incomeloss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $45.0 million and $47.9 million during such periods. The relative values between the tax benefit or expense at the taxable REIT subsidiary and our consolidated pretax income drive the fluctuation in the effective tax rate.$584.4 million. The primary difference between ourthe Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is duegenerally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2021, the valuation allowance was reduced to $0 from the $110,000 valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2020 as the result of positive GAAP income at the TRS for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.

The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, introduced a number of tax law changes which are generally taxpayer favorable and in December 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act was signed into law.  No material changes in our effective income tax rates resulted from either Act.  While the CARES Act provides for carry back of losses from 2018, 2019 and 2020, the TRS does not have taxable income from prior years to which the losses could be carried back.

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

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we purchased for sale $18.2$53.2 billion and $49.8 billion, respectively, in fair value of correspondent production loans as compared to $19.8$33.2 billion and $45.3 billion, respectively, in fair valueduring the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Our ability to increase the level of correspondent production loans duringreflects the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in correspondent purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, is primarily due to continued growth in our correspondent production seller network.

Our ability to continue thefavorable interest rate environment along with continuing expansion of our correspondent production business is subject to, among other factors, our ability to source additional mortgage loan volume, our ability to obtain additional inventory financingseller network and our abilityefforts aimed at maximizing the share of our correspondent sellers’ production that is sold to fund the portion of the mortgage 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 increasing our borrowing capacity or in obtaining the additional equity capital necessary or that we will be able to identify additional sources of mortgage loans.us.

We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from our business activities, existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays.

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 and the timing of such dispositions, the costs and expenses we incur in the disposition process, changes in borrower performance and the underlying collateral values. Ultimate realization in a disposition of these assets will be net of any servicing advances held on the balance sheet in relation to these investments.

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 mortgage loan, readying the property for sale, holding the property while it is being marketed 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.Credit Risk Transfer Transactions

Following is a summary of the distribution of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value (excluding mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held by a VIE):

Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

We monitor and value our investments in pools of distressed mortgage loans 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 slightly from 7.1% at December 31, 2016 to 6.7% at September 30, 2017 due to shifting characteristics of the portfolio given liquidations and loans sales in the period and increased projections of costs relating to liquidation and loan-related foreclosure litigation on the remaining population of non-performing loans.

The weighted average twelve-month projected housing price index change used in the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value increased from 3.7% at December 31, 2016 to 4.6% at September 30, 2017, due to slightly higher near-term forecasts for real estate price appreciation in the geographic areas in which our portfolio of mortgage loans is concentrated.

The weighted average total prepayment speed used in the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value decreased slightly from 17.7% at December 31, 2016 to 16.7% at September 30, 2017 due to our projections of longer liquidation periods for certain of our mortgage loans.

Net cash provided by our investing activities was $415.5$930.9 million for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021, as compared to $168.2net cash used in our investing activities of $604.0 million for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2016. The increaseMarch 31, 2020, due primarily to a shift in investment cash flows from investing activities reflects a reductionrelating to our investment in MBS. During the level ofquarter ended March 31, 2020, we made net purchases of MBS totaling $1.0 billion; during 2017 as compared to 2016.

Our investing activities have included the purchasequarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net sales and repayments of long-term assets which are not presently cash flowing or are at riskMBS totaling $223.8 million. This shift was compounded by settlement of interruptionexcess servicing spread payable from PFSI 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 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 mortgage loans, many months after we record the revenues.$134.6 million.

Net cash used inprovided by our financing activities was $633.6$973.5 million for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, as compared to net cash providedused by our financing activities of $704.4$106.0 million for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020. This change reflects repayment ofthe increased borrowings caused byto finance the shrinkage of our balance sheet during 2017 which is heavily financed by borrowings, as compared to growth in both our balance sheet during 2016.inventory of loans acquired for sale and MSRs.

As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continually evaluates and pursues 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 ourthe 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. However, 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,sellers, 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, pursue our share repurchase program 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 liquidationscash flows from our investment portfolio, including distressed assets, cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, liquidation of existing investments and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. When we finance a particular asset, the amount borrowed is less than the asset’s fair value and we must provide the cash in the amount of such difference. Our ability to continue making investments is dependent on our ability to invest the cash representing such difference. Further, certain of our CRT Agreements may allow us, at the time we sell a mortgage loan, to deposit less than the full amount of cash we would otherwise be required to deposit with respect to such loan until the end

The impact of the aggregation period relating to the applicable CRT Agreement. At the end of such aggregation period, we will be required to deposit all remaining cash necessary to fully secure the related CRT Agreement, and our ability to fully invest in such CRT Agreement is dependentPandemic on our abilityoperations, liquidity and capital resources remains uncertain and difficult to depositpredict. For further discussion of this and other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the required cash. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

We do not expect repayments from contractual cash flows from our investments in mortgage loans to be a primary source of liquidity as a substantial portion of such investments are distressed assets that are nonperforming. Our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans was acquired withyear ended December 31, 2020 under the expectation that the majority of the cash flows associated with these investments would result from liquidation of the mortgage loan or 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.heading “Risk Factors.”

Our current leveragedebt financing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. We have mademake collateralized borrowings in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements and notes payable. We also previously made collateralized borrowings in the form of borrowings under forward purchase agreements and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. To the extent available to us, we expect in the future to obtain long-termpayable, including secured term financing for assets with estimated future lives ofour MSRs and our CRT arrangements which has allowed us to more than one year; this may includeclosely match the term financing and securitization of performing, nonperforming and/or reperforming mortgage loans.

We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until long-term financing becomes more available. Our short-term financings will be primarily inborrowings to the form of agreements to repurchase and other secured lending and structured finance facilities, pending the ultimate dispositionexpected lives of the assets whether through sale, securitization or liquidation. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-termsecuring those borrowings. Our leverage ratio, defined as all borrowings we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquiditydivided by shareholders’ equity at the date presented, was 4.10 and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

As of September 30, 20173.78 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016, we financed our investments in MBS, mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value held by a VIE, MSRs, ESS, REO and deposits securing CRT Agreements and related CRT derivatives with sales under agreement to repurchase, mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, notes payable, asset sold to PFSI under agreement to repurchase and asset-backed financing.

The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is primarily due to timing of loan purchases and sales in our correspondent acquisitionproduction business. The total facility size of our assets sold under agreements to repurchase was approximately $6.2$9.8 billion at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.

Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to either 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.

As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements, notes payable, and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements have short-term maturities:

The transactions relating to mortgage loans and REO under agreements to repurchase generally provide for terms of approximately one year.

The transactions relating to loans and REO under agreements to repurchase generally provide for terms of approximately one to two years;

The transactions relating to mortgage loans under mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements provide for terms of approximately one year.

The transactions relating to loans under mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements provide for terms of approximately one year; and

The transactions relating to assets under notes payable provide for terms ranging from two to five years.

The transactions relating to assets under notes payable provide for terms of approximately one year.


As of September 30, 2017, leverage on MSRs and ESS continues to be limited in availability due to the requirement of each Agency that its rights and interest in the MSRs remain senior to those of any lender extending credit. As we continue to aggregate MSRs and ESS, the limited availability of financing 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 the Company for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and at the Company and our Operating Partnership over 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; a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at PMC; and a minimum of $10 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents;

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 minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $1.25 billion; a minimum tangible net worth for our Operating Partnership of $1.25 billion; a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million; and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $300 million;

a minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $860 million; a minimum tangible net worth for our Operating Partnership of $700 million; a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million; and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $150 million;

a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 10:1 for PMC and PMH and 7:1 for the Company and our Operating Partnership; and

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

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

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 for at least one (1) of the previous 2 consecutive fiscal quarters, measured quarterly;

positive net income for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters;

a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $40 million;

a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $40 million;

a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million; and

a minimum tangible net worth of $1.25 billion;

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

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

at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets that are similar to those being financed under certain of our existing secured financing agreements.

In addition to the financial covenants imposed upon us and PLS under our debt financing agreements, we and/or PLS, as applicable, are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by FHFA for Agency seller/sellers/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and their net worth requirements for approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of FHFA, and for approved single-family issuers in the case of Ginnie Mae, as summarized below:

A minimum net worth of a base of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced.

A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%.


A minimum net worth of a base of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential loans serviced;

 

A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

Effective June 30, 2020, FHFA liquidity requirement is equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of the amount by which total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (reduced by 70% of the UPB of nonperforming Agency loans that are in COVID-19 payment forbearance and were current when they entered such forbearance) exceeds 6% of the applicable Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines;

In the case of PLS, liquidity equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and

In the case of PLS, net worth equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.

On January 31, 2020, FHFA proposed changes to the eligibility requirements:

A tangible net worth requirement of a base of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of the UPB of loans serviced for Ginnie Mae and 25 basis points of the UPB of all other 1-4 unit loans serviced;

80


Liquidity equal to or exceeding 3.5four basis points multiplied by the aggregate UPB of all mortgages secured by 1-4 unit residential properties serviced for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plus 10 basis points multiplied by the aggregate UPB of mortgages serviced for Ginnie Mae (“Agency Mortgage Servicing”) plus 200300 basis points multiplied by the sum of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that exceed 6%exceeds 4% of the UPB of total Agency Mortgage Servicing.Servicing; and

In the case of PLS, liquidity equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents.

In the case of PLS, net worth equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.

On June 15, 2020, FHFA announced that it will be re-proposing changes to these requirements.

Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement, 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.

On August 7, 2020, PMC entered into a master repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch providing PMC with the ability to finance servicing advances made to support monthly principal and interest to mortgage-backed securities holders as well as other corporate and escrow advances related to servicing delinquent loans. The committed amount available to PMC under the master repurchase agreement is $300 million.

Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, 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.

Item 3. 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. Our primary trading asset is our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable recently-originated mortgage loans. Our other market-risk assets are a substantial portion of our investments and are primarily comprised of distressed mortgage nonperforming loansMSRs, ESS, CRT arrangements and MSRs.MBS. We believe that the fair values of MSRs, ESS and MBS also respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable mortgage loans.loans or yields on MBS. Changes in interest rates are reflected in the prepayment speeds underlying these investments and in the pricing spread (an element of the discount rate) used in their valuation. We believe that the primary market risks to the fair values of our investment in distressed mortgage loans respond primarily toCRT arrangements are changes in market credit spreads and the fair value of the real estate securing the loans underlying such loans.arrangements.

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.
