SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-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; |
| ● | descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services; |
| ● | forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and prepayment rates; and |
| ● | 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2022.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:
| ● | interest rate changes; |
| ● | our exposure to risks of loss resulting from adverse weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters, the effect of climate change, and pandemics, such as the corona virus (“COVID-19”); |
| ● | the continually changing federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to the highly regulated industry in which we operate; |
| ● | lawsuits or governmental actions if we do not comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses; |
| ● | the mortgage lending and servicing-related regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and its enforcement of these regulations; |
| ● | our dependence on U.S. government-sponsored entities and changes in their current roles or their guarantees or guidelines; |
| ● | declines in real estate values or significant changes in U.S. housing prices or activity in the U.S. housing market; |
| ● | changes to government mortgage modification programs; |
| ● | foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices; |
| ● | the licensing and operational requirements of states and other jurisdictions applicable to our businesses, to which our bank competitors are not subject; |
3
| ● | our ability to manage third-party service providers and vendors and their compliance with laws, regulations and investor requirements; |
| ● | changes in macroeconomic and U.S. real estate market conditions; |
| ● | difficulties inherent in adjusting the size of our operations to reflect changes in business levels; |
| ● | maintaining sufficient capital and liquidity and compliance with financial covenants; |
| ● | our substantial amount of indebtedness; |
| ● | increases in loan delinquencies and defaults; |
| ● | failure to modify, resell or refinance early buyout loans or defaults of early buyout loans beyond our expectations; |
| ● | our reliance on PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) as a significant contributor to our mortgage banking business; |
| ● | our obligation to indemnify third-party purchasers or repurchase loans if loans that we originate, acquire, service or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances; |
| ● | our exposure to counterparties that are unwilling or unable to honor contractual obligations, including their obligation to indemnify us or repurchase defective mortgage loans; |
| ● | our ability to realize the anticipated benefit of potential future acquisitions of mortgage servicing rights; |
| ● | our obligation to indemnify PMT if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances; |
| ● | decreases in the returns on the assets that we select and manage for PMT, and our resulting management and incentive fees; |
| ● | the extensive amount of regulation applicable to our investment management segment; |
| ● | conflicts of interest in allocating our services and investment opportunities among ourselves and PMT; |
| ● | the effect of public opinion on our reputation; |
| ● | our ability to effectively identify, manage and hedge our credit, interest rate, prepayment, liquidity and climate risks; |
| ● | our initiation of new business activities or expansion of existing business activities; |
| ● | our ability to detect misconduct and fraud; |
| ● | our ability to effectively deploy new information technology applications and infrastructure; |
| ● | our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents; |
| ● | our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders; and |
| ● | our organizational structure and certain requirements in our charter documents. |
Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1—Organization
PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (together, with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicated otherwise, “PFSI” or the “Company”) is a holding corporation and its primary assets are equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”). The Company is the managing member of PNMAC, and it operates and controls all of the businesses and consolidates the financial results of PNMAC and its subsidiaries.
PNMAC is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries, engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PNMAC’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential mortgage loan production and servicing. PNMAC’s investment management activities and a portion of its loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a publicly-traded real estate mortgage investment trust that invests primarily in mortgage-related assets. PNMAC’s primary wholly owned subsidiaries are:
| ● | PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) — a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage loans on behalf of non-affiliates and PMT, purchases, originates and sells new prime credit quality residential mortgage loans and engages in other mortgage banking activities for its own account and the account of PMT. |
PLS is approved as a seller/servicer of mortgage loans by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and as an issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). PLS is a licensed Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and a lender/servicer with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) (each of the above an “Agency” and collectively the “Agencies”).
| ● | PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”) — a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM has an investment management agreement with PMT. |
iNote 2—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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 consolidated financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of income that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
10
Note 3—Concentration of Risk
A portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of gains on loans held for sale, loan origination and fulfillment fees, loan servicing fees, change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing (“ESS”), net interest, management fees, change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT, and expense allocations charged to PMT) totaled i 10% and i 9% of total net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and i 8% and i 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company also purchased i 78% and i 51% of its newly originated loan production from PMT during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and i 65% and i 53% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

iNote 4—Related Party Transactions
Transactions with PMT
Operating Activities
Mortgage Loan Production Activities and Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”) Recapture
Loan Sales
The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. The Company has typically utilized the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans, as well as prime jumbo residential mortgage loans.
MSR Recapture
Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, which was amended and restated for a term of i five years effective July 1, 2020, if the Company refinances mortgage loans for which PMT holds the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to:
| ● | i 40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first i 15% of the “recapture rate”; |
| ● | i 35% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of i 15% and up to i 30%; and |
| ● | i 30% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of i 30%. |
The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all recaptured mortgage loans, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month. The Company has also agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of at least i 15%.
Fulfillment Services
The Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage banking services agreement, the fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:
| ● | the number of loan commitments multiplied by a pull-through factor of either i .99 or i .80 depending on whether the loan commitments are subject to a “mandatory trade confirmation” or a “best efforts lock confirmation”, respectively, and then multiplied by $ i 585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including i 16,500 per quarter and $ i 355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of i 16,500 per quarter, plus |
| ● | $ i 315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans that are sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac up to the and including i 16,500 per quarter and $ i 195 multiplied by the number of such purchased loans in excess of i 16,500 per quarter, plus |
11
| ● | $ i 750 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are sold or securitized to parties other than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; provided however, that i no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae loans. |
Sourcing Fees
PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking services agreement, the Company purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from i one to i two basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company.
While the Company purchases these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT, where the Company has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of PMT.

Loan Servicing
The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company provides subservicing for PMT’s MSRs, loans at fair value held in consolidated variable interest entities and loans held for sale (“Prime Servicing”) and its portfolio of residential mortgage loans purchased with credit deterioration (“Special Servicing”). The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT.
12
Prime Servicing
| ● | The base servicing fees for prime loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $ i 7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $ i 8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans. |
| ● | To the extent that prime loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $ i 10 to $ i 55 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $ i 75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. The Company 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 and a percentage of late charges. |
| ● | The Company also receives certain fees for COVID-19-related forbearance and modification activities provided for under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). |
Special Servicing
| ● | The base servicing fee rates for distressed loans range from $ i 30 per month for current loans up to $ i 95 per month for loans in foreclosure proceedings. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $ i 75 per month. The Company also receives a supplemental servicing fee of $ i 25 per month for each distressed loan. |
| ● | The Company receives activity-based fees for modifications, foreclosures and liquidations that it facilitates with respect to distressed loans, as well as other market-based refinancing and loan disposition fees. The Company may also receive REO rental fees, property lease renewal fees, property management fees, tenant paid application fees, late rent fees, and third-party vendor fees associated with its management of REO. |

Investment Management Activities
The Company has a management agreement with PMT (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by its board of trustees, for which PFSI collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:
| ● | The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) i 1.5% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity up to $ i 2 billion, (ii) i 1.375% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $ i 2 billion and up to $ i 5 billion, and (iii) i 1.25% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $ i 5 billion. |
| ● | The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.” |
13
The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of: (a) i 10% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) an i 8% return on “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a i 12% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus (b) i 15% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) a i 12% return on PMT’s “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a i 16% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus (c) i 20% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds a i 16% return on “equity” plus the “high watermark.”
For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:
“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.
“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four-quarter period.
The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of i 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to i zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.
The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both receivable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than i 50% paid in common shares), at PMT’s option.
In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Expense Reimbursement
Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. With respect to the allocation of the Company’s and its affiliates’ personnel compensation, the Company is reimbursed $ i 165,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by the Company or its affiliates.
14
PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses are allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets owned or managed by the Company as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.
The Company received reimbursements from PMT for expenses as follows:

Investing Activities
Master Repurchase Agreement
On December 19, 2016, the Company, through PLS, entered into a master repurchase agreement with one of PMT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from the Company for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS. PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and PNMAC, 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. Such ESS is now included in PLS's participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS and MSRs, which PLS pledges in connection with the GNMA MSR Facility.
PMT Common Stock
The Company owns i 75,000 common shares of beneficial interest of PMT.

Financing Activities
Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements
The Company has a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “Spread Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may sell to PMT, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae.
To the extent the Company refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS it has issued, the Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. Under the Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, the Company is also required 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 $ i 200,000, the Company may, at its option, settle its obligation to PMT in cash in an amount equal to such fair market value instead of transferring such ESS.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid its outstanding ESS financing through the repurchase of the ESS from PMT.

Exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC Unitholders
On May 8, 2013, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain former owners of PNMAC that provides for the payment from time to time by the Company to PNMAC’s exchanged unitholders of an amount equal to i 85% of the amount of the net tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis of PNMAC’s assets resulting from exchanges of ownership interests in PNMAC and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.
Although a reorganization in November 2018 eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and will be required to make payments, to the extent any of the tax benefits specified above are deemed to be realized, under the tax receivable agreement to those certain prior owners of PNMAC who effected exchanges of ownership interests in PNMAC for the Company’s common stock before the closing of the reorganization.
The Company has recorded $ i 26.7 million and $ i 30.5 million Payable to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC unitholders under tax receivable agreement as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 6—Fair Value
Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. 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 significant inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:
| ● | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. |
| ● | Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where 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 Company 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 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.
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Company identified its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. The Company has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets, Unsecured senior notes and Obligations under capital lease are carried at amortized cost.
These liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these liabilities other than Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.
The Company estimates the fair value of the Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes using indications of fair value provided by non-affiliate brokers. The fair value and carrying value of these notes are summarized below:

Valuation Governance
Most of the Company’s financial assets, and all of its derivatives, MSRs, ESS, and MSLs, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and derivatives and all of its MSRs, ESS, and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.
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:
| ● | The Company’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 Company’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff develops the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs which is reviewed by its Capital Markets Operations group. |
With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management 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, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results as well as 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 the Company’s senior management valuation committee. 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 Company’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s chief financial, investment and credit officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, capital markets and risk management staffs.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
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:
Loans Held for Sale
Most of the Company’s loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of “Level 2” fair value loans are determined using their contracted selling price or quoted market price or market price equivalent.
Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:
| ● | Government guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase a government guaranteed or insured loan arises as the result of the loan being at least three months delinquent on the date of purchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such loans may be resold to investors and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent they become eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security. |
28
Loans become eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae security when the loans become current either through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms or after six months of timely payments following either the completion of certain types of payment deferral programs or borrower reperformance and when the issuance date of the new security is at least 210 days after the date the loan was last delinquent.
| ● | Loans that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect. |
The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment/resale and total prepayment/resale speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.
Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” fair value inputs used in the valuation of loans held for sale:

| (1) | Weighted average inputs are based on the fair value of the “Level 3” loans. |
| (2) | Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). |
| (3) | Total prepayment/resale speed is measured using Life Total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayment/resale speeds. |
Changes in fair value of loans held for sale attributable to changes in the loan’s instrument-specific credit risk are measured with reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the loan will be funded or purchased (the “pull-through rate”).
29
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the estimated fair value of MSRs attributable to the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurement. 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 increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

/Hedging Derivatives
Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities; fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or 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 gains on loans held for sale at fair value, or Net loan servicing fees – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), pricing spread (discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying 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 directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Through December 31, 2021, the Company applied its pricing spread to the United States Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)/swap curve. The change in reference interest rate from the LIBOR/swap curve to the Treasury yield curve did not have a significant effect on the Company’s fair value measurement of MSRs. |

32
Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value
ESS is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value liability. Because ESS is a claim to a portion of the cash flows from MSRs, the fair value measurement of the ESS is similar to that of MSRs. The Company uses the same discounted cash flow approach to measuring the ESS as it uses to measure MSRs except that certain inputs relating to the cost to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs and certain ancillary income are not included as these cash flows do not accrue to the holder of the ESS.
The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS fair value include pricing spread and prepayment speed. Significant changes to either of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value of ESS. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related.
ESS is generally subject to fair value increases when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally discourage mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing the fair value of this financing. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid its outstanding ESS financing payable to PMT.
Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the applicable pricing spread, annual total prepayment speed, and the per-loan annual cost of servicing the underlying loans. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing fees—Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

iNote 8—Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating activities. Derivative financial instruments are created in the Company’s loan production activities and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities. Derivative financial instruments created in the Company’s loan production activities are IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale.
The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of certain of the its assets. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and its MSRs.
The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivatives for hedge accounting. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has multiple borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by loans held for sale at fair value or participation certificates backed by mortgage servicing assets. Eligible assets are sold at advance rates based on the fair value (as determined by the lender) of the assets sold. Interest is charged at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or LIBOR, as applicable. Loans and participation certificates financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the repurchase agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the fair value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets securing those agreements decreases.
Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements
Two of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held 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 mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.
The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback amount is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Note 15—Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rates were i 27.1% and i 26.6% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and i 26.7% and i 26.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increases in the effective income tax rates for the quarter and nine month ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, were primarily attributable to an increase in nondeductible compensation.
/ iNote 16—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments to Purchase and Fund Mortgage Loans
The Company’s commitments to purchase and fund loans totaled $ i 7.1 billion as of September 30, 2022.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, income, or cash flows of the Company.
On November 5, 2019, Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Black Knight, Inc. (“BKI”), filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Duval County, Florida (the “Florida State Court”), captioned Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC v. PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, Case No. 2019-CA-007908 (the “BKI Complaint”). Allegations contained within the BKI Complaint include breach of contract and misappropriation of MSP® System trade secrets in order to develop an imitation mortgage-processing system intended to replace the MSP® System.
The BKI Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets, injunctive relief under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act and declaratory judgment of ownership of all intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of PLS as a result of its wrongful use of and access to the MSP® System and related trade secret and confidential information. On March 30, 2020, the Florida State Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by PLS. While no assurance can be provided as to the ultimate outcome of this claim or the account of any losses to the Company, the Company believes the BKI Complaint is without merit and plans to vigorously defend the matter, which remains pending.
/49
Regulatory Matters
The Company and/or its subsidiaries are subject to various state and federal regulations related to its loan production and servicing operations by the various states it operates in as well as federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), HUD, and the FHA and is subject to the requirements of the Agencies to which it sells loans and for which it performs loan servicing activities. As a result, the Company may become involved in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by such various federal, state and local regulatory bodies.
On January 7, 2021, PLS received a letter from the CFPB notifying PLS that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (“NORA”) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement was considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against PLS for alleged violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Truth in Lending Act. The CFPB's examination covered the period from March 2015 through September 2016. Should the CFPB commence an action, it may seek restitution, civil monetary penalties, injunctive relief, or other corrective action, the extent of which remains uncertain at this time. Notably, certain of the alleged violations were originally self-identified by PLS and remediated before the CFPB's examination, and all alleged violations were fully remediated as of August 2017. PLS confirmed these remediation actions as well as full restitution to any affected borrowers in its response to the NORA letter submitted on February 8, 2021. While the NORA process remains open and pending at this time, and there can be no assurance as to the nature or extent of any actions taken by the CFPB with regard to these alleged violations, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial statements or operations.
Cessation of the LIBOR Index
The Company historically used a LIBOR index to establish the applicable interest rates in lending and financing transactions. One-week and two-month United States Dollar LIBOR rates have been discontinued in 2022 and non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings cease to be representative. The Company has serviced LIBOR-based adjustable rate mortgages and other financial arrangements that may incorporate fallback provisions or replacement provisions related to the LIBOR transition.
The discontinuation of LIBOR could materially affect our interest expense and earnings, our cost of capital, and the fair value of certain of our assets and the instruments we use to hedge their value. Furthermore, the transition away from widely used benchmark rates like LIBOR could result in customers or other market participants challenging the determination of their interest or dividend payments, disputing the interpretations or implementation of contract or instrument “fallback” provisions and other transition related changes.
iNote 17—Stockholders’ Equity
In August 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase to the Company’s common stock repurchase program from $ i 1 billion to $ i 2 billion.

iNote 21—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued.
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are stock-based compensation awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

iNote 22—Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements
The Company, through PLS, is required to maintain specified levels of capital and liquidity to remain a seller/servicer in good standing with the Agencies. Such capital and liquid asset requirements generally are tied to the size of the Company’s loan servicing portfolio, loan origination volume and delinquency rates.
The Company is subject to financial eligibility requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for sellers/servicers eligible to sell or service mortgage loans with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The eligibility requirements include:
| ● | tangible net worth of $ i 2.5 million plus i 25 basis points of the UPB of the Company’s total 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for others; |
| ● | a liquidity requirement equal to i 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus i 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB less i 70% of such nonperforming Agency servicing UPB in excess of 600 basis points where the underlying loans are in COVID-19 forbearance but were current at the time they entered forbearance. |
The Company is also subject to financial eligibility requirements for Ginnie Mae single-family issuers. The eligibility requirements include net worth of $ i 2.5 million plus i 35 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations and a liquidity requirement equal to the greater of $ i 1.0 million or i 10 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities.

In August 2022, the Agencies issued revised capital and liquidity requirements. The requirements will be effective at various dates beginning September 30, 2023, for issuers of securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and seller/servicers of mortgage loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Company believes it is in compliance with Agencies’ revised requirements as currently interpreted as of September 30, 2022.
Noncompliance with an Agency’s requirements can result in such Agency taking various remedial actions up to and including terminating the Company’s ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the respective Agency.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II Item 1A and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Overview
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PFSI and its subsidiaries.
We are a specialty financial services firm primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and the experience of our management team across all aspects of the mortgage business will allow us to profitably engage in these activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.
Our primary assets are equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”). We are the managing member of PNMAC, and we operate and control all of the businesses and affairs of PNMAC, and consolidate the financial results of PNMAC and its subsidiaries. We conduct our business in three segments: production, servicing (together, production and servicing comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management:
| ● | The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities. |
| ● | The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a mortgage real estate investment trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PMT”. |
| ● | The investment management segment represents our investment management activities relating to PMT, which include the activities associated with investment asset acquisitions and dispositions such as sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and settlement. |

Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States.

| (1) | To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that is frequently used in our industry to measure performance and we believe that this measure provides supplemental information that is useful to investors. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. |
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income plus provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding decrease (increase) in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) net of mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), due to changes in the valuation inputs we use in our valuation models, increase (decrease) in
61
fair value of excess servicing spread (“ESS”) payable to PMT, hedging losses (gains) associated with MSRs, stock-based compensation and interest expense on corporate debt or corporate revolving credit facilities and capital lease.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. However, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| a) | they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| b) | they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt; and |
| c) | they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA measures are not intended as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated:

Business Trends
Due to significant inflationary pressures, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and is expected to further increase interest rates in the near term, as well as reduce the federal government’s overall holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. Increasing interest rates are expected to reduce the size of the mortgage origination market from an estimated $4.4 trillion in 2021 to a current forecast of $2.4 trillion for 2022 according to leading economists.
Lower projected mortgage transaction volumes and increasing interest rates are expected to cause a decrease in all mortgage production activities, reduce gains from the redelivery of loans bought out from Ginnie Mae securities and increase competition in the mortgage production business, while also leading to a reduction in prepayment speeds in our mortgage servicing portfolio from the elevated levels experienced in 2021. Rising interest rates will increase the costs of certain floating rate borrowings, as well as provide greater interest income from our placement fees on deposits and loans held for sale. We have reduced and expect to continue to reduce business expenses to align with the lower projected mortgage production activities for the remainder of the year.
Income Before Provisions for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, income before provision for income taxes decreased $154.1 million compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $458.1 million decrease in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, a $60.5 million decrease in Loan origination fees and a $25.5 million decrease in fulfillment fees from PMT due to lower production and redelivery volumes and overall gain on sale margins during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $210.1 million increase in Net loan servicing fees reflecting improved valuation results in our MSRs, net of hedging results and a $156.2 million decrease in total expenses, primarily due to reductions in compensation, loan origination and servicing expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, income before provision for income taxes decreased $527.6 million compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 billion decrease in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, a $154.1 million decrease in Loan origination fees and a $103.0 million decrease in fulfillment fees from PMT due to lower production and redelivery volumes and gain on sale margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $680.3 million increase in Net loan servicing fees reflecting improved valuation results in our MSRs, net of hedging results and a $300.7 million decrease in total expenses.
Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value
In our production segment, revenues reflect the effects of increasing interest rates on both demand for mortgage loans and gain on sale margins during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the strong demand due to the historically low interest rate environment that prevailed during the same periods in 2021.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $168.7 million and $689.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $458.1 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to lower production volumes and decreases in early buyout (“EBO”) loan redelivery gains as a result of lower volumes and modifications during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021.

Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans held for sale
Our gains on loans held for sale include both cash and non-cash elements. We recognize a significant portion of our gains on loans held for sale when we make commitments to purchase or fund mortgage loans. We recognize this gain in the form of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”). We adjust our initial gain amount as the loan purchase or origination process progresses until the loan is either funded or cancelled. We also receive non-cash proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur liabilities for mortgage servicing liabilities (which represent the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for EBO loans we have resold to third party investors) and for the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions.
The MSRs, MSLs, and liability for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 205% and 197% of our gains on sales of loans held for sale at fair value for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 63% and 65% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. These estimates change as circumstances change and changes in these estimates are recognized in income in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs significantly affect our results of operations.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
The methods and key inputs we use to measure and update our measurements of IRLCs, MSRs and MSLs are detailed in Note 6 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Representations and Warranties
Our agreements with the purchasers and insurers include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the purchaser or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit losses on the loans. Our credit losses may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent originators that sold such loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.
Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans sold by us and subject to representation and warranty liability to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.
The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit administration staff and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes senior management in our loan production, loan servicing and credit risk management areas.
The method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, 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.
65
We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $1.7 million and $7.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $6.6 million and $26.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The decreases in the provision relating to current loan sales are primarily attributable to a reduction in loan sales.
We also recorded reductions in the liability of $1.8 million and $7.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $11.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting performance criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limit the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.
Following is a summary of loan repurchase activity and the UPB of loans subject to representations and warranties:

Liability for representations and warranties | | | | | | | | $ | 37,187 | | $ | 45,806 |
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased loans totaling $31.7 million and $77.2 million, respectively. We charged losses of $2.0 million and $7.1 million to the liability during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Our losses arising from representations and warranties have historically been minimized by our ability to either recover most of the losses from our correspondent sellers or from our ability to profitably refinance and resell repurchased loans.
The recent increases in market interest rates may affect certain of our correspondent sellers’ ability to honor their obligations to repurchase defective loans. Furthermore, these market factors and expected economic slowdown may increase the level of borrower defaults, increasing the level of repurchases we are required to make and making it more difficult to minimize losses on repurchased loans. We expect these developments will increase the losses we incur in relation to our representations and warranties compared to our historical experience. However, we believe our recorded liability is presently adequate to absorb such losses.

Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees decreased $60.5 million and $154.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in the volume of loans we produced.
Fulfillment Fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust
Fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. The fulfillment fees are calculated based on the number of loans we fulfill for PMT.
Fulfillment fees decreased $25.5 million and $103.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in loan production volume.
Net Loan Servicing Fees
Our net loan servicing fee income has two primary components: fees earned for servicing the loans and the effects of MSR and MSL valuation changes, net of hedging results as summarized below:

Loan servicing fees from non-affiliates generally relate to our MSRs which are primarily related to servicing we provide for loans included in Agency securitizations. These fees are contractually established at an annualized percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the loan serviced and we collect these fees from borrower payments. Loan servicing fees from PMT are primarily related to PMT’s MSRs and are established at monthly per-loan amounts based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan and the loan’s delinquency or foreclosure status as detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report. Other loan servicing fees are comprised primarily of borrower-contracted fees such as late charges and reconveyance fees.
67
The increases in loan servicing fees from non-affiliates and from PMT for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due to growth of our loan servicing portfolio as compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases in other loan servicing fees for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were primarily due to decreases in fees charged to correspondent lenders related to borrower early loan payoffs resulting from the reduction in prepayment activity we experienced in the current rising interest rate environment as compared to the same periods in 2021.
Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
We have elected to carry our servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value have two components: changes due to realization of the contractual servicing fees and changes due to changes in market inputs used to estimate the fair value of MSRs and MSLs. We endeavor to moderate the effects of changes in fair value by entering into derivatives transactions and, until March 2021, by financing certain of our purchases of MSRs with the sale of a portion of the MSR assets’ cash flows to PMT in the form of ESS.
Change in fair value of MSRs, MSLs and ESS and the related hedging results are summarized below:

Changes in realization of cash flows are influenced by changes in the level of servicing assets and liabilities and changes in estimates of the remaining cash flows to be realized. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, realization of cash flows increased primarily due to the growth in our investment in MSRs.
Other changes in fair value of MSRs increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to significant increases in interest rates and resulting decreases in expected future prepayment speeds in 2022.
Hedging results reflect valuation losses attributable to the effects of interest rate increases on the fair value of the hedging instruments during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net Interest Income (Expense)
We generated net interest income of $29,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to net interest expense of $22.4 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to:
| ● | an increase of $32.5 million in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage due to increased earning rates, partially offset by lower average balances of custodial funds held; |
| ● | a decrease of $19.3 million in interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations, reflecting decreased loan payoffs as a result of lower borrower refinancing activity due to the higher interest rate environment; |
| ● | an increase of $7.0 million in interest income from cash balances; partially offset by |
| ● | a decrease of $24.8 million in interest income from loans held for sale reflecting lower average levels of inventory; and |
| ● | an increase of $11.0 million in interest expense on borrowings due to the higher interest rate environment. |
Net interest expense decreased $25.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to:
| ● | a decrease of $48.1 million in interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations, reflecting decreased loan payoffs as a result of lower borrower refinancing activity due to the higher interest rate environment; |
| ● | an increase of $39.9 million in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage due to increased earning rates, partially offset by lower average balances of custodial funds held; |
| ● | a decrease of $21.0 million in interest expense on borrowing due to lower average assets sold under agreements to repurchase balances, partially offset by higher interest expense from long term debts; |
| ● | an increase of $6.2 million interest income from cash balances; partially offset by |
| ● | a decrease of $90.2 million in interest income from loans held for sale due to lower average inventory balances. |

Management fees decreased $789,000 and $5.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to the non-recurrence of $3.0 million of performance incentive fees earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as result of PMT’s profitability during the measurement period ended September 30, 2021, on which its performance incentive fee was based, in addition to a decrease in PMT’s shareholders’ equity which is the basis for the base management fees.

Compensation expense decreased $91.4 million and $171.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to work force reductions necessitated by reductions in loan production in 2022 and decreased incentive compensation accruals due to reduced staffing levels and lower achievement of profitability targets.
Loan origination
Loan origination expense decreased $52.6 million and $95.4 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to decreased lending activities during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods during 2021.
Servicing
Servicing expenses decreased $7.5 million and $56.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. These decreases were primarily due to a larger reversal of the provision for estimated servicing advance losses recorded in prior periods than during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and decreased purchases of EBO loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools. The reduction reflects the improvements in the performance of our servicing portfolio due to the resolution of delinquent
71
loans relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professional services
Professional expenses decreased $8.2 million and $5.4 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in consulting expenses related to technology infrastructure.
Marketing and advertising
Marketing and advertising expense decreased $3.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to decrease in marketing expenses for consumer direct lending. Marketing and advertising expense increased $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the launch of our new brand marketing campaign in early 2022.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 27.1% and 26.7% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 26.6% and 26.2% during the same periods in 2021. The increases in the effective income tax rates for the quarter and nine month ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, were primarily attributable to an increase in nondeductible compensation.
The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law on August 16, 2022 ("Act"), effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Inflation Reduction Act imposes a 15% Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of applicable corporations. Applicable corporations generally include any corporation whose 3-year average AFSI exceeds $1 billion. Based on the current legislation and the definition of AFSI, we do not expect the Company will be subject to this corporate minimum tax.

Leverage ratios: | | | | | | |
Total debt / Stockholders' equity | | | 2.1 | | | 3.2 |
Total debt / Tangible stockholders' equity | | | 2.2 | | | 3.3 |
Total assets decreased $2.4 billion from $18.8 billion at December 31, 2021 to $16.4 billion at September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $5.6 billion in loans held for sale at fair value, partially offset by an increase of $1.8 billion in MSRs and $1.2 billion in cash. The decrease in loans held for sale at fair value was primarily due to lower origination volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Total liabilities decreased $2.5 billion from $15.4 billion at December 31, 2021 to $12.9 billion at September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $3.9 billion in short-term debt, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 billion of liability for loans eligible for repurchase, $0.5 billion in long-term debt and $0.3 billion of income tax payable. The decrease in short-term debt reflects decreased borrowing requirements relating to our inventory of loans held for sale. As a result of our reduced inventory financing requirements, our leverage ratios decreased significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash and restricted cash of $1.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as discussed below.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $5.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with net cash provided in operating activities of $2.8 billion during the same period in 2021. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by changes in the levels of our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale as shown below:

| | | | | $ | 5,543,826 | | $ | 2,770,083 |
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $483.6 million, primarily due to $810.7 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs and $59.6 million used in acquisition of capitalized software, partially offset by a $425.6 million decrease in margin deposits. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $301.5 million, primarily due to $471.3 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs, partially offset by a $117.1 million decrease in margin deposits.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $3.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease of $3.9 billion in short-term borrowings and $354.8 million of common stock repurchases, partially offset by issuance of a $500 million term note. The reduction in borrowings reflects reduced inventory of loans held for sale. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease of $1.6 billion in borrowings, $700.8 million of repurchase of our common stock and $134.6 million of repayment of ESS financing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans and on our MSR investments), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from bank borrowings and proceeds from and issuance of equity or debt offerings. In addition, we utilized existing borrowings to increase our cash balances to nearly $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2022.
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, liquidity and capital resources remain uncertain and difficult to predict, for further discussion of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic please also see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II. Item 1A and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.
74
Our current borrowing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our primary borrowing activities are in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, notes payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and unsecured senior notes. A significant amount of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for advances with terms ranging from 30 days to 270 days. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consist of short-term debt, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.
Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average, maximum daily and ending balances:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter ended September 30, | | Nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||

Average balance | | $ | 1,949,452 | | $ | 6,031,491 | | $ | 2,622,581 | | $ | 7,336,341 |
Maximum daily balance | | $ | 3,490,082 | | $ | 8,044,148 | | $ | 7,289,147 | | $ | 10,969,029 |
Balance at period end | | | | | | | | $ | 3,490,082 | | $ | 6,903,302 |
The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect both the effect of decreasing loan inventory levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the fluctuations throughout the periods of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.
Our repurchase 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 decrease in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us to comply with various financial covenants. The most significant financial covenants currently include the following:
| ● | a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $100 million; |
| ● | a minimum tangible net worth of $1.25 billion; |
| ● | a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and |
| ● | 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. |
With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under PMT’s debt agreements. Covenants in PMT’s debt agreements are equally, or sometimes less, restrictive than the covenants described above.
Our Unsecured Notes’ indentures contain covenants that limit the Company and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to engage in specified types of transactions, including, but not limited to the following:
| ● | pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain loans or investments; |
| ● | incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock; |
| ● | incur liens on assets; |
| ● | merge or consolidate with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets to another person; |
75
| ● | transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets including capital stock of subsidiaries; |
| ● | enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
| ● | allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us. |
Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect 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.
We are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers, as summarized below:
| ● | The 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; |
| ● | The FHFA net worth requirement is a minimum net worth of $2.5 million plus 0.25% (25 basis points) of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced and a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%; |
| ● | The Ginnie Mae single-family issuer minimum liquidity requirement is equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and |
| ● | The Ginnie Mae net worth requirement is equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations. |
We believe that we are currently in compliance with the applicable Agency requirements. In August 2022, the Agencies issued revised capital and liquidity requirements. The requirements will be effective at various dates beginning September 30, 2023, for issuers of securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and seller/servicers of mortgage loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We believe that we are in compliance with Agencies’ revised requirements as currently interpreted as of September 30, 2022.
On August 4, 2021, our Board of Directors increased our common stock repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion. Share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. From inception through September 30, 2022, we have repurchased approximately $1.7 billion of common shares under our stock repurchase program.
We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our business, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, bank loans, repurchase agreements, securitization transactions and corporate debt. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees
As of September 30, 2022, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
76
Debt Obligations
As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through short-term borrowings with major financial institutions in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. We access the capital market for long-term debt through the issuance of secured term notes and unsecured senior notes. The issuer under our secured term note facilities is PLS or a wholly-owned issuer trust guaranteed by PNMAC. In addition, PFSI has issued unsecured senior notes guaranteed by certain of its restricted wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
Under the terms of these financing agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of September 30, 2022, we believe we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.
Many of our debt financing agreements contain a condition precedent to obtaining additional funding that requires PLS to maintain positive net income for at least one of the previous two consecutive quarters, or other similar measures. PLS is compliant with all such conditions.
The financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. 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.
In addition, the financing agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.
PFSI issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers in 2020 and 2021 under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indentures under which the Unsecured Notes were issued). The Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants under terms of the Unsecured Notes, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We believe the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Unsecured Notes as of September 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires us to make estimates 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. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to our fair value estimates.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates.
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 fair value risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk.
Fair Value Risk
Our IRLCs, mortgage loans held for sale, MSRs and MSLs are reported at their fair values. The fair value of these assets fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates. The fair value risk we face is primarily attributable to interest rate risk and prepayment risk.
79
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates affect both the fair value of, and interest income we earn from, our mortgage-related investments and our derivative financial instruments. This effect is most pronounced with fixed-rate mortgage assets.
In general, rising interest rates negatively affect the fair value of our IRLCs and inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and positively affect the fair value of our MSRs. Changes in interest rates significantly influence the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs, which can have a significant effect on their fair values. Changes in interest rate are most prominently reflected in the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs and the discount rate used in their valuation.
Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income from our investments and our financing costs. Presently much of our debt financing is based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over the relevant index, as determined by the particular financing arrangement.
Prepayment Risk
To the extent that the actual prepayment rate on the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs differs from what we projected when we initially recognized these assets and liabilities when we measure fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of these assets and liabilities will be affected. In general, a decrease in the principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs or an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the MSRs, thereby reducing net servicing income, partially offset by the beneficial effect on net servicing income of a corresponding reduction in the fair value of our MSLs.
Risk Management Activities
We engage in risk management activities primarily in an effort to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our assets. To manage this price risk, we use derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of our assets, primarily prepayment exposure on our MSR investments as well as IRLCs and our inventory of loans held for sale. Our objective is to minimize our hedging expense and maximize our loss coverage based on a given hedge expense target. We do not use derivative financial instruments other than IRLCs for purposes other than in support of our risk management activities.
Our strategies are reviewed daily within a disciplined risk management framework. We use a variety of interest rate and spread shifts and scenarios and define target limits for market value and liquidity loss in those scenarios. With respect to our IRLCs and inventory of loans held for sale, we use MBS forward sale contracts to lock in the price at which we will sell the mortgage loans or resulting MBS, and further use MBS put options to mitigate the risk of our IRLCs not closing at the rate we expect. With respect to our MSRs, we seek to mitigate mortgage-based loss exposure utilizing MBS forward purchase and sale contracts, address exposures to smaller interest rate shifts with Treasury and interest rate swap futures, and use options and swaptions to achieve target coverage levels for larger interest rate shocks.
Fair Value Sensitivities
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 inputs 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
