PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (“PHH” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported Net loss attributable to PHH Corporation of $27 million or $0.50 per basic share. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, core loss (after-tax)* and core loss per share*, which exclude a $13 million pre-tax unfavorable market-related mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") fair value adjustment, net of derivative losses related to MSRs, were $19 million and $0.35, respectively.

Glen A. Messina, President and CEO of PHH Corporation, said, “We have made substantial progress in our evaluation of strategic alternatives and have made two critical decisions. First, we are pleased to announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all our GNMA MSR portfolio and related servicing advances to Lakeview for a slight premium to book value before considering customary transaction and other expenses. In addition, after exhaustive consideration of the available alternatives, we have decided to exit from the PLS origination business. We are committed to achieving an orderly and well-managed exit in the quickest and most cost effective way possible while meeting our regulatory and contractual requirements. We are continuing to evaluate possible additional sales of our remaining MSR portfolio and to evaluate the best course of action for our Real Estate and servicing platforms, which we expect to complete by the end of January 2017.”

Messina also commented, “Our financial performance reflects continued volume reduction from the previously announced Merrill Lynch insourcing decisions and lower revenue and higher expenses related to our owned servicing asset, offset by continued strong momentum in our portfolio recapture initiative and higher loan origination margins. Our increase in legal reserves is a result of continued progress in resolving legacy regulatory matters, which has also led to a reduction in our reasonably possible losses in excess of reserves by $20 million.”

(1) Final proceeds are dependent on the portfolio composition and market conditions at each sale date.

Mortgage Production

Segment Results

Mortgage Production segment profit in the third quarter of 2016 was $22 million, compared to a segment profit of $13 million in the second quarter of 2016 and a segment loss of $10 million in the third quarter of 2015. The $9 million increase in segment profit for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was due to a $6 million increase in Net revenues and a $6 million decrease in Total expenses, partially offset by $3 million in higher net income attributable to non-controlling interest. The improvement in Net revenues was due primarily to a $10 million increase in Gain on loans held for sale, net driven by a 10% increase in loans sold and a 45 basis point increase in average total loan margins, that was partially offset by a $4 million decrease in Origination and other loan fees primarily caused by a decline in Origination assistance fees from a 7% decrease in fee-based closing units. The $6 million decrease in Total expenses was primarily driven from a $4 million decrease in Salaries and related expenses as a result of severance costs incurred in the second quarter of 2016.

The $32 million favorable change in segment results in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $19 million increase in Net revenue and a $16 million decrease in Total expenses, partially offset by $3 million in higher net income attributable to non-controlling interest. The increase in Net revenue was primarily driven from a 69 basis point increase in average total loan margins that was partially offset by a decline in volume. The exit from wholesale/correspondent lending during the second quarter of 2016 resulted in a lower cost to acquire loans, which had a positive impact on Gain on loans held for sale, net. The decline in Total expenses was primarily driven by a $5 million decrease in Loan origination expenses from lower overall closing and application volumes in the third quarter of 2016, $4 million in reduced Occupancy and other office expenses due to one-time expenses for the consolidation of facilities in the third quarter of 2015 and $3 million in lower Professional and third-party service fees from reduced consulting expenses on compliance and re-engineering.

Statistics

Total third quarter of 2016 mortgage closings were $10.0 billion, down 3% from both the second quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in total closings compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to seasonal declines in our purchase volume. The decrease in total closings compared to the third quarter of 2015 was driven by the exit from our wholesale/correspondent lending channel during the second quarter of 2016 and lower closing units from our private label channel that were offset by a significant increase in closings from our portfolio recapture efforts.

IRLCs expected to close of $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2016 decreased by 9% as compared to the second quarter of 2016 but decreased by 31% from the third quarter of 2015. Total loan margin on IRLCs expected to close for the third quarter of 2016 was 388 bps, a 45 bps increase from the second quarter of 2016 and a 69 bps increase from the third quarter of 2015. The increase in margins is consistent with the decline in interest rates experienced beginning in June through the third quarter of 2016 as loan margins tend to widen in periods of declining interest rates as industry participants attempt to balance origination volume with operational capacity.

As announced above, as an outcome of our strategic review process we plan to exit our PLS business, which represented 78% of our total closing volume (based on dollars) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, in the third quarter of 2016, Merrill Lynch Home Loans, a division of Bank of America, National Association exercised its right to terminate their private label services agreement, effective as of March 31, 2017. At this time, we believe we will be in a position to substantially exit the PLS business by the first quarter of 2018, subject to certain transition support requirements.

Mortgage Servicing

Segment Results

Mortgage Servicing segment loss in the third quarter of 2016 was $52 million, compared to a segment loss of $33 million in the second quarter of 2016 and a segment loss of $77 million in the third quarter of 2015. The $19 million decline in segment results for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was due to a $5 million decrease in Net revenues and a $14 million increase in Total expenses. The decrease in Total revenues was due primarily to higher prepayments of MSRs from a 15% increase in payoffs in our capitalized portfolio and lower loan servicing income. The increase in Total expenses was primarily due to the $11 million provision for legal and regulatory matters recorded during the third quarter of 2016 and $2 million in higher Repurchase and foreclosure-related charges.

The $25 million favorable change in segment results in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 represents a $9 million increase in Net revenues and a $16 million decrease in Total expenses. Net revenues increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily driven by favorable changes in the fair value of our MSRs, net of related derivatives of $15 million that was partially offset by a $5 million decline in loan servicing income from the decline in our average capitalized loan servicing portfolio. Total expenses for the third quarter of 2016 declined compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily from $33 million of lower provisions for legal and regulatory matters that was partially offset by an $8 million increase in Repurchase and foreclosure-related charges, a $4 million increase in Professional and third-party service fees and a $3 million increase in Salaries and related expenses.

Statistics

At September 30, 2016, the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of our capitalized servicing portfolio was $88.6 billion, down 10% from December 31, 2015, and 13% from September 30, 2015. Our capitalized servicing portfolio continues to decline due to a low interest rate environment leading to high prepayment activity that has exceeded the additions from our new loan production. In 2016, we have reduced sales under our MSR flow sale arrangements; during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, sales were $742 million, or 17% of our additions compared to $3.1 billion, or 43% of our additions during the prior year (based on UPB).

At September 30, 2016, the UPB of our total loan servicing portfolio was $227.9 billion, which has marginally improved from both December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Activity in our total loan servicing portfolio since the end of 2015 includes an increase in our subservicing UPB driven by the addition of a subservicing portfolio of approximately 35,000 loans during the first quarter of 2016 that was partially offset by declines in our capitalized servicing portfolio. However, as we have previously announced, by December 31, 2016, we are expecting our subservicing units to decline by approximately 222,000, or 47% of September 30, 2016 balances, when certain subservicing associated with HSBC and Merrill Lynch transfers from our portfolio.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

At September 30, 2016, the book value of our MSR was $645 million, representing a 73 bps capitalized servicing rate. The MSR book value and capitalized servicing rate at December 31, 2015 were $880 million and 89 bps and at September 30, 2015 were $927 million, and 91 bps, respectively. During the third quarter of 2016, there was a $37 million decrease in the asset value related to prepayments and the receipt of recurring cash flows, a $9 million decrease from market-related fair value adjustments, and a $3 million decrease from MSR sales that was partially offset by $15 million in MSR book value added from loan sales.

As announced above, in November 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of our Ginnie Mae MSR portfolio and related advances to Lakeview Loan Servicing. As of September 30, 2016, the underlying loans in our Ginnie Mae MSR portfolio totaled $14.8 billion. Additionally, as of September 30, 2016, the fair value of our Ginnie Mae MSR was $104 million, representing a 70 bps capitalized servicing rate, and the related Servicing advance receivables were $16 million. The MSR sale agreement with Lakeview Loan Servicing is subject to Ginnie Mae approval as well as approvals of the certain origination sources of the loans. Approximately 70% of our Ginnie Mae MSR underlying this sale agreement is able to be sold without the consent of any origination source.

Based on the portfolio composition as of September 30, 2016, current market conditions, and assuming the receipt of all required approvals, the expected proceeds from this sale are $122 million, excluding transaction and other related costs. The final proceeds received from this transaction are dependent on the portfolio composition and market conditions at each respective sale date and the aggregate amount of origination source consents received. Upon sale, the subservicing responsibilities with respect to the related mortgage loans will transfer to a successor subservicer appointed by Lakeview.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Our significant outstanding legal and regulatory matters at the end of the third quarter include matters with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “CFPB”), a multistate coalition of certain mortgage banking regulators, the New York Department of Financial Services (the "NYDFS"), and the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the third quarter of 2016, we recorded an $11 million provision for all of our outstanding legal and regulatory matters based on recent developments and our current expectations.

In October 2016, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the Director of the CFPB's $109 million final order related to our former mortgage reinsurance activities, and remanded the case to the CFPB to determine our compliance with certain provisions of RESPA specific to whether any mortgage insurers paid more than reasonable market value to our reinsurance business. There was no significant impact to our results from this decision, as our recorded reserve for this matter was not material and had been substantially less than the Director's final order.

In the second quarter of 2016, the NYDFS proposed terms for a consent order to close out pending examination report findings, including New York findings stemming from the MMC examination. We have reached an agreement in principle with the NYDFS on the terms of the consent order; however, the final consent order has not been executed by the NYDFS. Although there can be no assurances, we expect final resolution to be imminent and believe in any event that it will happen in the fourth quarter of 2016. At this time, we believe that any final consent order will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2016, we included an estimate of probable losses from this consent order in connection with the NYDFS matter in the recorded liability.

With respect to the MMC and FHA matters, we remain highly engaged and expect that resolution of these matters will extend to at least year end. We are acting with a sense of urgency to resolve these matters in order to provide certainty to our investors while attempting to preserve shareholder value.

Liquidity and Capital Update

Liquidity at September 30, 2016 included $935 million in unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held in variable interest entities. As of September 30, 2016, we had $615 million total principal of unsecured debt outstanding with our next maturity date in September 2019.

We have authorizations from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $150 million of common shares through December 31, 2016 under an open market repurchase program. As we currently intend to complete the final phase of our strategic review in January 2017, we do not expect to complete any further repurchases under this authorization. However, at that time, we expect to provide guidance with respect the amount and timing of any future shareholder distributions.

* NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings or loss per share, and adjusted cash flow, are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. See Non-GAAP Reconciliations below for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as required by Regulation G.

These Non-GAAP measures are used in managing certain aspects of the Company’s business. For example, management’s reviews of results incorporate Non-GAAP measures and certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain covenants calculated using a measure similar to the calculations of the Non-GAAP measures. The Company has also designed certain management incentives based upon the achievement of targets related to Non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures can be useful to investors because they provide a means by which investors can evaluate the Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period.

The Company also believes that any meaningful analysis of the Company’s financial performance by investors requires an understanding of the factors that drive the Company’s underlying operating performance which can be obscured by significant unrealized changes in value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights, as well as any gain or loss on derivatives that are intended to offset market-related fair value adjustments on the Company’s mortgage servicing rights.

The Company believes these Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors that is supplementary to our results in accordance with GAAP; however, there are inherent limitations to these measures and they should not be viewed as a substitute for our results in accordance with GAAP as measurements of the Company's financial performance.

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share

Core earnings or loss (after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share involves differences from Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation computed in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share measure the Company’s financial performance excluding unrealized changes in fair value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights that are based upon projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments as well as realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivatives that are intended to offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. The changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and related derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates and are dependent upon the level of current and projected interest rates at the end of each reporting period.

Adjusted cash flow

Adjusted cash flow measures the Company’s Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for a given period excluding changes resulting from the issuance or repurchase of equity or the issuance or repayment of unsecured or other debt by PHH Corporation.

The Company believes that Adjusted cash flow is a useful measure for investors because the measure may assist investors in determining the amount of cash and cash equivalents generated from business activities during a period that is available to repay unsecured debt or distribute to holders of the Company’s equity. Adjusted cash flow can be generated through a combination of earnings, more efficient utilization of asset-backed funding facilities, or an improved working capital position and can vary significantly between periods based upon a variety of potential factors including, but not limited to, timing related to cash collateral postings, mortgage origination volumes and loan margins.
