PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

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

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

 

   

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

Most of the loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent lending activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies”.

 

   

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

The Company is externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that specializes in and focuses on residential mortgage loans. Under the terms of a management agreement, PCM is paid a management fee with a base component and a performance incentive component. Determination of the amount of management fees is discussed in Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties.

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

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

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Annual Report”).

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the periods ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Note 2—Concentration of Risks

As discussed in Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in real estate-related assets, a substantial portion of which are distressed at acquisition. Because of the Company’s investment strategy, many of the mortgage loans in its targeted asset class are purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies. Before acquiring loans or other assets, PCM validates key information provided by the sellers that is necessary to determine the value of the acquired asset. A substantial portion of the distressed loans purchased by the Company has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup, Inc. Because of the Company’s investment focus, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks that borrowers may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments when due, and to the effects of fluctuations in the residential real estate market on the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:

 

   

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

 

   

PCM’s ability to identify and the Company’s loan servicers’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of problem mortgage loans;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

On July 12, 2011 and December 20, 2011, the Company entered into forward purchase agreements with Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“CGM”), a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., to purchase certain nonperforming residential mortgage loans and residential real property acquired in settlement of loans (collectively, the “CGM Assets”). The CGM Assets were acquired by CGM from unaffiliated money center banks. The commitment under the forward purchase agreement dated July 12, 2011 was settled during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The commitment under the forward purchase agreement dated December 20, 2011 was settled during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. There were no similar forward purchase agreements entered into or outstanding as of March 31, 2013.

The CGM Assets were included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as Mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value and Real estate acquired in settlement of loans under forward purchase agreements and the related liabilities were included as Borrowings under forward purchase agreements. The CGM Assets were held by CGM within a separate trust entity deemed a variable interest entity. The Company’s interests in the CGM Assets were deemed to be contractually segregated from all other interests in the trust. When assets are contractually segregated, they are often referred to as a “silo.” For these transactions, the silo consisted of the CGM Assets and its related liability. The Company directed all of the activities that drive the economic results of the CGM Assets. All of the changes in the fair value and cash flows of the CGM Assets were attributable solely to the Company, and such cash flows could only be used to settle the related liability.

Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees

Before February 1, 2013, under a management agreement, PMT paid PCM a base management fee payable quarterly and in arrears. The base management fee was calculated at 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity. The performance incentive fee was calculated at 20% per year of the amount by which “core earnings,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before the incentive fee, exceeded an 8% “hurdle rate” as defined in the management agreement.

Effective February 1, 2013, the management agreement was amended to provide that:

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

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

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company’s Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees.

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of our public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the four-quarter period.

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

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

Mortgage Loan Servicing

The Company, through its Operating Partnership, has a loan servicing agreement with PLS. Before February 1, 2013, the servicing fee rates were based on the risk characteristics of the mortgage loans serviced and total servicing compensation was established at levels that management believed were competitive with those charged by other servicers or specialty servicers, as applicable.

 

   

Servicing fee rates for nonperforming loans ranged between 50 and 100 basis points per year on the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans serviced on the Company’s behalf. PLS was also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges, as well as interest on funds on deposit in custodial accounts. In the event PLS either effected a refinancing of a loan on the Company’s behalf and not through a third party lender and the resulting loan was readily saleable, or originated a loan to facilitate the disposition of real estate that the Company had acquired in settlement of a loan, PLS was entitled to receive from the Company market-based fees and compensation.

 

   

For mortgage loans serviced by the Company as a result of acquisitions and sales with servicing rights retained in connection with the Company’s correspondent lending business, PLS was entitled to base subservicing fees and other customary market-based fees and charges as described above.

Effective February 1, 2013, the servicing agreement was amended to provide for servicing fees payable to PLS that changed from being based on a percentage of the loan’s unpaid principal balance to fixed per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the REO. PLS also remains entitled to market-based fees and charges relating to boarding, deboarding, liquidation, disposition, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges relating to loans it services for the Company.

The term of the servicing agreement, as amended, expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the servicing agreement. The base servicing fees for distressed whole loans are calculated based on a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of such loan or the related underlying real estate. Presently, the base servicing fees for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $125 per month for loans that are severely delinquent and in foreclosure.

The base servicing fees for loans subserviced by PLS on our behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees for loans subserviced on our behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable rate mortgage loans. To the extent that these loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan falling within a range of $10 to $75 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or the related underlying real estate. PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, and assumption, modification and origination fees.

PLS is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement because the Company does not have any employees or infrastructure. For these services, PLS receives a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and $3.25 per month for each other subserviced loan. PLS is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

PLS, on behalf of the Company, currently participates in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) (and other similar mortgage loan modification programs), which establishes standard loan modification guidelines for “at risk” homeowners and provides incentive payments to certain participants, including loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The loan servicing agreement entitles PLS to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS under HAMP in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which the Company previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS shall reimburse the Company an amount equal to the incentive payments.

Correspondent Lending

Effective February 1, 2013, the mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement provides for a fulfillment fee paid to PLS based on the type of mortgage loan that the Company acquires. The fulfillment fee is equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans purchased, with the addition of potential fee rate discounts applicable to the Company’s monthly purchase volume in excess of designated thresholds. PLS has also agreed to provide such services exclusively for the Company’s benefit, and PLS and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party. Before February 1, 2013, the Company paid PLS a fulfillment fee of 50 basis points of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans sold to non-affiliates where the Company is approved or licensed to sell to such non-affiliate.

PLS is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that the Company acquires and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Presently, the applicable percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, (iii) 0.80% for Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 105% or less, (iv) 1.20% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above. At this time, the Company does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement, PLS currently purchases loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from us at our cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points.

In the event that the Company purchases mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $2.5 billion and less than $5 billion, PLS has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing PMT an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.025%, (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $2.5 billion and (iii) the percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal balance relating to mortgage loans for which PLS collected fulfillment fees in such month. In the event the Company purchases mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in any month greater than $5 billion, our PLS has agreed to discount the amount of such fulfillment fees by reimbursing us an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.05%, (ii) the amount of unpaid principal balance in excess of $5 billion and (iii) the percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal balance relating to mortgage loans for which PLS collected fulfillment fees in such month.

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

The term of our mortgage banking and warehouse services agreement expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Investment Activities

Pursuant to the terms of a MSR recapture agreement, effective February 1, 2013, if PLS refinances through its retail lending business loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), without cost to PMC, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. MSR recapture amounts are shown in Note 24—Net loan servicing fees. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Pursuant to the spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement, PMT may acquire from PLS the rights to receive certain excess servicing spread arising from MSRs acquired by PLS, in which case PLS generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans. The terms of each transaction under the spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement will be subject to the terms of such agreement as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.

Other Transactions

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

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

The Company reimburses PCM and its affiliates for other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on its behalf by PCM and its affiliates, in accordance with the terms of its management agreement.

Note 4—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined using net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.

The Company makes grants of restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, unvested

share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common shares and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends.

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk created by the commitments it makes to correspondent lenders to purchase loans at specified interest rates, also called interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The

Note 7—Fair Value

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

Fair Value Accounting Elections

Management identified all of its non cash financial assets, including short-term investments and mortgage loans, as well as its MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% that were acquired as a result of its correspondent lending operations, to be accounted for at estimated fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

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

The Company’s risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are generally aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values. During the period, a portion of the IRLCs, the fair value of which typically increases when prepayment speeds increase, were used to mitigate the effect of changes in fair value of the servicing assets, which typically decreases as prepayment speeds increase.

For loans sold under agreements to repurchase, REO financed through agreements to repurchase and borrowings under forward purchase agreements, management has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the usage of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

The Company measures its investment in REO at the respective properties’ estimated fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is established as the lesser of (a) either the fair value of the loan at the date of transfer, (b) the fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell as of the date of transfer or (c) the purchase price of the property. REO may be subsequently revalued due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or management receiving indications that the property’s value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the value at which the property was initially recorded is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value

The Company evaluates its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value for impairment with reference to the assets’ fair value. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into note rate pools of 50 basis point ranges for fixed-rate mortgage loans with note rates between 3% and 4.5% and a single pool for note rates below 3%. MSRs relating to adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the note rate pools is below the carrying value of the MSRs for that pool reduced by the existing valuation allowance, those MSRs are impaired.

 

21


Table of Contents

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s cash balances as well as its borrowings secured by its inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale and its investments in nonperforming loans and REO in the form of repurchase agreements are carried at amortized cost.

Management has concluded that the estimated fair values of Cash, Mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loans at fair value sold under agreements to repurchase and Real estate acquired in settlement of loans financed under agreements to repurchase approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the immediate realizability of cash at its carrying amount and to the borrowing agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates.

Cash is measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company’s borrowings carried at amortized cost do not have active markets or observable inputs and the fair value is measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of March 31, 2013 due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair value.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

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

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

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

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

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

Mortgage Loans

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

 

   

Mortgage loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, are categorized as “Level 2” financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent.

 

   

Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value, are categorized as “Level 3” financial statement items, and their fair

values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status and property type, and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds and loss severities. The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of loan population and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The FAV group computes the effect on the valuation of changes in input variables such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the loan valuation. The results of the estimates of fair value of “Level 3” mortgage loans are reported to PCM’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results.

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are measured by the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status at period-end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value:

(1) Prepayment speed is measured using life voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).
(2) Total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC 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 percentage of loans that the Company expects to ultimately fund as a percentage of the commitments it has made (the “pull-through rate”).

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in a significant change in fair value measurement. The financial impact of these assumptions are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but increase the pull-through rate for loans that have decreased in market value in comparison to the agreed-upon purchase price.

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

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

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

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

Mortgage Servicing Rights

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

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSRs are pricing spreads, prepayment speeds (or life) and annual per-loan cost of servicing. 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 assumptions are not necessarily directly related.

MSRs are generally subject to loss in value when mortgage rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing MSR value. Reductions in the value of MSRs affect income primarily through change in fair value and impairment charges. For MSRs backed by mortgage loans with historically low interest rates, factors other than interest rates (such as housing price changes) take on increasing influence on prepayment behavior of the underlying mortgage loans.

(1) Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.
(2) Prepayment speed is measured using CPR.

(1) Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and purchased MSRs not backed by pools of distressed mortgage loans.
(2) Prepayment speed is measured using CPR.

The preceding 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 in the variables in relation to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is based on the accrued cost of the agreements, which approximates the agreements’ fair values, due to the agreements’ short maturities.

Note 8—Short-Term Investments

The Company is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. As discussed in Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties, the Company transfers government insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that it purchases from correspondent lenders to PLS, which is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer, and earns a sourcing fee of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance of each such loan.

Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments

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

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. To manage this price risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s IRLCs and inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale.

The Company is also exposed to risk relative to the fair value of its MSRs. The Company is exposed to loss in value of its MSRs when interest rates decrease. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company includes MSRs in its hedging activities.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the loans securing those agreements decreases. The Company had no margin deposits as of March 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012, the Company had $379,000 on deposit with its loan repurchase agreement counterparties. Margin deposits are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

(1) The amount the Company is able to borrow under repurchase agreements is subject to a sublimit of the commitment amount available pursuant to the repurchase facility for mortgage loans at fair value. The facility is tied to the fair value of unencumbered REO eligible for contribution to the subsidiary, whose stock is pledged to secure those agreements, and the Company’s ability to fund the agreements’ margin requirements relating to the collateral so contributed.
(2) Weighted-average interest rate during the period excludes the effect of amortization of debt issuance costs of $125,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The repurchase agreement collateralized by REO has a remaining term of approximately 2.2 months at March 31, 2013.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the REOs decreases.

Note 20—Recourse liability

The Company’s agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac include representations and warranties related to the loans the Company sells to those Agencies. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, the Company may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it has to correspondent lenders that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to the Company and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that originator.

The Company records a provision for losses relating to the representations and warranties it makes as part of its loan sale transactions. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates and the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. The Company establishes a liability at the time loans are sold and continually updates its liability estimate.

The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, management believes that the current unpaid principal balance of loans sold by the Company to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. The level of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies, and other external conditions that will change over the lives of the underlying loans, However, management believes the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 21—Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various proceedings, claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was not involved in any such proceedings, claims or legal actions that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Note 22—Shareholders’ Equity

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold common shares under a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Pursuant to the Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement, the Company sold a total of 2,531,310 of its common shares at a weighted average price of $18.41 per share, providing net proceeds to the Company of approximately $45.7 million, net of sales commissions. The sales agent received a total of approximately $917,000, which represents an average commission of approximately 2.0% of the gross sales price.

As more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report, certain of the underwriting costs incurred in the Company’s IPO were paid on PMT’s behalf by PCM and a portion of the underwriting discount was deferred by agreement with the underwriters of the offering. On February 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Underwriting Fee Reimbursement Agreement (“Reimbursement Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and PCM. The Reimbursement Agreement provides that, to the extent the Company is required to pay PCM performance incentive fees under the management agreement, the Company will reimburse PCM for underwriting costs it paid on the offering date at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $980,422, and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million.

The Reimbursement Agreement also provides for the payment to the IPO underwriters of the payment that the Company agreed to make to them at the time of the IPO if the Company satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As PCM earns performance incentive fees under the management agreement, the IPO underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by PCM. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $1,960,844 and the maximum

Table of Contents

amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million. The reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019. Management has concluded that these amounts are likely to be paid and has recognized a liability for reimbursement to PCM and payment of the contingent underwriting discount as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Note 25—Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has adopted an equity incentive plan which provides for the issuance of equity based awards, including share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, unrestricted common share awards, LTIP units (a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership) and other awards based on PMT’s shares that may be made by the Company directly to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PLS, or their affiliates and to PCM, PLS and other entities that provide services to PMT and the employees of such other entities. The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the board of trustees, which has the authority to make awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the awards.

 

38


Table of Contents

The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for grants of equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 8% of PMT’s issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis at the time of the award.

The shares underlying award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:

 

   

any shares subject to an award granted under the equity incentive plan are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered;

 

   

an award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant; or

 

   

shares are surrendered or withheld by PMT as payment of either the exercise price of an award and/or withholding taxes for an award.

Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to employees of PCM and PLS at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to four-year period. Each share option awarded under the equity incentive plan will have a term of no longer than ten years, and will have an exercise price that is no less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant of the award.

The Company’s estimate of value included assumed grantee forfeiture rates of 15% per year for employees of PCM and its affiliates and no turnover for certain of PMT’s officers and its board of trustees.

As of March 31, 2012, 541,630 restricted share units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.53 per share unit are expected to vest over their average remaining vesting period of 2.2 years. The grant date fair values of share unit awards are based on the market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

Note 26—Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, PMT generally will not be subject to corporate federal or state income tax to the extent that qualifying distributions are made to shareholders and the Company meets REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company believes that it has met the distribution requirements, as it has declared dividends sufficient to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Taxable income will generally differ from net income. The primary

 

39


Table of Contents

difference between net income and the REIT taxable income (before deduction for qualifying distributions) is the income of the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and the method of determining the income or loss related to valuation of the mortgage loans owned by the qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”). Other differences between REIT book income and REIT taxable income are not material.

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

The Company had elected to treat two of its subsidiaries as TRSs. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company revoked the election to treat its wholly owned subsidiary that is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership as a TRS. As a result, beginning September 1, 2012, one subsidiary, PMC, is treated as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions have been made to date. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC and, for the periods for which TRS treatment had been elected, the sole general partner of the Company’s Operating Partnership is included in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns for both the REIT and TRSs. These returns for 2009 and forward are subject to examination. No returns are currently under examination.

The following table details the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) which relates primarily to the TRSs:

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any increase in unrecognized tax benefits. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is the Company’s policy to record such accruals in the Company’s income tax accounts. No such accruals existed at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 27—Segments and Related Information

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

 

   

The correspondent lending segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage originators, particularly mortgage lenders, and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling the loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the operations of the Manager and the Servicer.

 

   

The investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments in distressed mortgage loans, REO, MBS and MSRs. Management seeks to maximize the value of the mortgage loans acquired by the Company through proprietary loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes. Where this is not possible, such as in the case of many nonperforming mortgage loans, the Company seeks to effect property resolution in a timely, orderly and economically efficient manner. The Company also invests in mortgage-related securities and other mortgage-related real estate and financial assets.

Note 30—Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

After March 31, 2013, PMC issued approximately $250.0 million in exchangeable notes guaranteed by the Company. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company as to all payments due on the notes whether at their stated maturity date, by acceleration, repurchase or otherwise. In the case of PMC’s failure to pay punctually any principal, premium or interest on the notes, PMT will cause any such payment to be made (without duplication) as it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, repayment or otherwise.

The guarantee is PMT’s senior unsecured obligation and will rank senior in right of payment to any of PMT’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the guarantee, equal to any of PMT’s other unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of PMT’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) and preferred equity of PMT’s subsidiaries.

The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, the condensed consolidating balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows for the Company as guarantor, for PMC as the issuer of the exchangeable notes, and for the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries as of and for the periods presented:

Note 31—Subsequent Events

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

 

   

On April 19, 2013, PCM committed to acquire on the Company’s behalf mortgage loans with purchase prices totaling approximately $294.1 million. The transaction will be recorded as mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements. The pending transaction is subject to continuing due diligence and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

On April 23, 2013, the Company’s board of trustees declared a cash dividend of $0.57 per share payable on May 31, 2013 to holders of record of the Company’s common shares as of May 16, 2013.

 

   

On April 30, 2013, PMC issued in a private offering $250 million aggregate principal amount of its Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semiannually, and the Notes have an approximate 25% conversion premium to the Company’s common share price on the date of the pricing. The Notes will mature May 1, 2020, unless repurchased or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and exchangeable for the Company’s common shares at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The net proceeds from the offering are intended to be used to fund the business and investment activities of the Company, which may include the acquisition of distressed mortgage loans or other investments; the funding of the continued growth of its correspondent lending business, including the purchase of jumbo loans; the repayment of other indebtedness; and for general corporate purposes.

 

   

On May 8, 2013, the Company, through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PMC and PMITH, entered into an amendment to its amended and restated master repurchase agreement, dated as of August 25, 2011, by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) and PMC, PMITH and the Company (the “NPL Facility”).

Under the terms of the amendment to the NPL Facility, the Company modified certain of its financial covenants, which now include maintaining the following: (i) a minimum tangible net worth of $860 million at the Company, $250 million at PMITH and $150 million at PMC, (ii) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, on a consolidated basis, in minimum amounts of $40 million at the Company, $10 million at each of PMITH and PMC, and $25 million at PMITH and PMC in the aggregate, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 5:1 at each of the Company and PMITH and 10:1 at PMC; and (iv) profitability at each of PMITH and PMC for at least one (1) of the previous two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

 

   

On May 8, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, entered into an amendment to its master repurchase agreement, dated September 28, 2012, by and among CSFB and the Operating Partnership and the Company (the “Re-warehouse Facility”).

Under the terms of the amendment to the Re-warehouse Facility, the Company modified certain of its financial covenants, which now include maintaining the following: (i) a minimum tangible net worth of $860 million at the Company and $700 million at the Operating Partnership, (ii) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, on a consolidated basis, in minimum amounts of $40 million at each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 5:1 at each of the Company and the Operating Partnership; and (iv) profitability at the Operating Partnership for at least one (1) of the previous two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

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

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

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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we purchased loans with fair values totaling $8.8 billion, in furtherance of our correspondent lending business. To the extent that we purchase loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration, we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer and servicer. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent lenders that purchase both government and conventional loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS of three basis points on the unpaid principal balance of each loan that we sell to PLS under such arrangement, and earn interest income on the loan for the time period we hold the loan prior to the sale to PLS. We received sourcing fees totaling $1.0 million and $244 thousand relating to $3.5 billion and $838.1 million of fair value loans we sold to PLS for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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

We seek to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that we acquire using means that are appropriate for the particular loan, including both proprietary and nonproprietary loan modification programs (such as the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and Housing and Urban Development’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”)), special servicing and other initiatives focused on avoiding foreclosure, when possible. When we are unable to effect a cure for a mortgage delinquency, our objective is to effect timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the loan through the use, in part, of short sales and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $200.3 million and we received proceeds from liquidation, payoffs and sales from our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans and REO totaling $93.4 million.

We supplement these activities through participation in other mortgage-related activities, which are in various states of analysis, planning or implementation, including:

 

   

Acquisition of MSRs or excess servicing spread from MSRs from financial institutions. We believe that MSR investments may allow us to earn attractive current returns and to leverage the loan servicing and origination capabilities of PLS to improve the assets’ value. We also intend to continue to retain the MSRs that we receive as a portion of the proceeds from our sale or securitization of mortgage loans through our correspondent lending operation.

 

   

Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement entered into with PLS effective February 1, 2013, if PLS refinances loans for which we previously created and held the MSRs through our correspondent lending activities, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to us, without cost to us, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated.

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

Acquisition of REIT-eligible mortgage-backed securities.

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

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

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

Observations on Current Market Opportunities

The U.S. economy continues its pattern of modest growth as reflected in recent economic data. During the first quarter of 2013, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 2.5% compared to a revised 2.0% and 0.4% annual rates for the first and fourth quarters of 2012, respectively. Modest economic growth and pressure on state and federal government spending continued to affect unemployment rates during the first quarter of 2013. The national unemployment rate was 7.6% at March 31, 2013 and compares to a revised seasonally adjusted rate of 8.2% at March 31, 2012 and 7.8% at December 31, 2012. Declining unemployment is partially reflective of a declining workforce labor participation rate. Delinquency rates on single family residential mortgage loans linger at historically high rates. As reported by the Federal Reserve, during the fourth quarter of 2012, charge-off and delinquency rates on loans and leases at commercial banks were 10.07%, an improvement from 10.30% during the first quarter of 2012.

Residential real estate activity appears to be modestly improving. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for March 2013 was 10.3% higher than for March 2012 and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $184,300, an 11.8% increase from March 2012. On a national level, foreclosure filings during the first quarter of 2013 decreased 12% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and 23% as compared to the first quarter of 2012, representing the ninth consecutive quarter with an annual decrease in foreclosure activity. A previously expected increase in foreclosure activity at the national level as lenders resolve their operational issues relating to the foreclosure of delinquent loans has not yet materialized; however it is anticipated that foreclosure activity within select markets may increase during the remainder of 2013 and beyond.

Thirty-year fixed rate mortgage interest rates ranged from a high of 3.57% to a low of 3.41% during the first quarter of 2013 (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey). During the first quarter of 2012, interest rates for the thirty-year fixed rate mortgage ranged from a high of 3.95% to a low of 3.89%.

Total mortgage originations in the first quarter of 2013 were approximately $500 billion, an increase of 19.0% compared to originations of $420 billion during the first quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 4.8% compared to originations of $525 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012 (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance).

The potential market opportunity in non-agency jumbo is significant. First quarter prime jumbo MBS issuance surpassed the total for all of 2012. Investor appetite is growing for non-agency MBS and borrower demand is growing as low rates and improving home values drove increased origination activity. We believe that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) will execute upon its stated goal to reduce the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in mortgage finance, and part of that goal will be to reduce agency conforming limits to pre-crisis levels. This would open a significant portion of the jumbo market to non agency securitization and move the market one step closer to normalization. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we acquired approximately $8.1 million in unpaid principal balance jumbo loans compared to $10.8 million in unpaid principal balance during all of 2012.

The Manager continues to see substantial volumes of distressed residential mortgage loan sales (sales of loan pools that consist of either nonperforming loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale by a limited number of sellers. During the first quarter of 2013, our Manager reviewed 27 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $5.7 billion. This compares to our Manager’s review of 25 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $4.9 billion during the first quarter of 2012. We acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling $200.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013; there were no distressed mortgage loan acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

Our net income increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to growth in our investment activities segment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we sold $8.6 billion in fair value of mortgage loans and issued $4.2 billion of IRLCs, an increase of $6.8 billion or 350% and $1.8 billion or 75%, respectively, from the quarter ended March 31, 2012. As a result of these increases, our gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale increased $15.9 million or 119%. In our investment activities, our average investment portfolio was approximately $1.2 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $340.4 million or 40% from the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We recognized interest income and net gains (losses) from investments totaling approximately $15.0 and $64.0 million during the quarter ended March 2013, increases of $1.8 million or 13% and $52.5 million or 457%, respectively, from the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net Investment Income

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded net investment income of $119.1 million, comprised primarily of net gains on investments in financial instruments of $93.3 million supplemented by $16.9 million of interest income, $5.5 million of loan origination fees and $6.7 million of net loan servicing fees, partially offset by $3.3 million from results of REO. This compares to net investment income of $46.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, comprised primarily of net gains on investments in financial instruments of $24.9 million supplemented by $16.4 million of interest income and $3.7 million from results of REO.

The growth in net investment income reflects the growth in the distressed loan portfolio and correspondent lending activities.

Correspondent Lending

Net Gain on Mortgage Loans Acquired for Sale

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a net gain of $29.3 million on mortgage loans acquired for sale which included approximately $56.2 million in fair value of MSRs received as part of the proceeds from our correspondent lending loan sales. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a net gain of $13.4 million on mortgage loans acquired for sale, which included $12.9 million of MSRs received as part of the proceeds from our correspondent lending sales.

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

The change in our cash gain on sale from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflects the differing market environments prevailing during the respective periods. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, mortgage interest rates were generally decreasing, resulting in larger cash gains; during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, mortgage interest rates were generally increasing, resulting in reduced cash gains. As well, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, pricing margins were compressed as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, due to increasing competition in the market for mortgage loans.

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

(1) Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs acquired as proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.
(2) Annual total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR.

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

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

We evaluate the adequacy of our estimate based on our loss experience and our assessment of future losses to be incurred relating to loans we have previously sold and which remain outstanding at the balance sheet date. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates and the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and continually update our liability estimate.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased mortgage loans with unpaid balances totaling $648,000 and incurred no losses relating to such repurchases. However, as the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold season, we expect the level of repurchase activity to increase. In addition, as economic fundamentals change and as investor and Agency evaluation of their loss mitigation strategies, including claims under representations and warranties change, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change and such changes may be material to us.

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

Our hedging activities relating to correspondent lending primarily involve forward sales of our inventory and commitments to purchase mortgage loans as well as purchases of options to sell and options to purchase MBS. We hedged the interest rate fluctuations on indebtedness incurred to acquire our investment in Agency MBS using interest rate swaption agreements.

Investment Activities

Net Gain (Loss) on Investments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recognized net gains on mortgage loans at fair value totaling $64.0 million. This compares to gains on mortgage loans at fair value and MBS of $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to valuation gains in our portfolio of mortgage loans, reflecting continuing improvements in actual and expected performance in the residential real estate market. This appreciation was compounded by growth in our average investment in mortgage loans at fair value. The average portfolio balance of mortgage loans at fair value (including mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements) increased $397.2 million or 54% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net gains on mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements at fair value are summarized below for the periods presented:

   $ 63,980       $ 11,131   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The net gains on mortgage loans arising from valuation changes were due to improvements in observed market demand for performing and re-performing distressed loans, changes in the value of loans as the loans moved through the resolution process and continuing improvement in actual and expected performance in the residential real estate market.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized gains on mortgage loan payoffs as summarized below:

   $ 8,364       $ 4,847   

The increase in gains recognized at payoff for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was due to the higher level of payoff activity due to a larger portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we earned interest income of $15.0 million compared to $13.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

We earned interest income of $574,000 on our portfolio of MBS during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. As noted above, we sold this portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and therefore had no income relating to such securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recognized interest income on mortgage loans at fair value of $15.0 million, which compares to $13.0 million (including interest earned on mortgage loans under forward purchase agreements) in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increases in interest income are due primarily to growth in the average balance of our mortgage loan portfolio of $340.4 million or 40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recognized annualized interest of 5.00 % on our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value as measured by the portfolio’s average fair value. This compares to 6.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in yield during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 is due primarily to the large number of modifications we made in which we recovered delinquent interest during 2012 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and the decrease in the weighted average coupon of performing mortgage loans. At March 31, 2013, our investment in performing mortgage loans had a weighted average coupon of 4.10% compared to 4.27% at March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2013, approximately 67% of the fair value of our portfolio of mortgage loans was nonperforming, which compares to 68% at March 31, 2012. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming loans and generally do not recognize revenues during the period we hold REO. We calculate the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio based on the portfolio’s average fair value, which most closely reflects our investment in the mortgage loans. Accordingly, the yield we realize is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the loans’ unpaid balances as we purchase our mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their unpaid principal balances.

The revenue benefits of nonperforming loans and REO generally take longer to realize than those of performing loans due to the time required to work with borrowers to resolve payment issues through our modification programs and to acquire and liquidate the property securing the mortgage loans. The value and returns we realize from these assets are determined by our ability to cure the borrowers’ defaults, or when curing of borrower defaults is not a viable solution, by our ability to effectively manage the liquidation process. As a participant in HAMP, we are required to comply with the process specified by the HAMP program before liquidating a loan, and this may extend the liquidation process. At March 31, 2013, we held $918.9 million in fair value of nonperforming loans and $84.5 million in carrying value of REO.

Results of Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

Results of REO includes the gains or losses we record upon sale of the properties as well as valuation adjustments we record during the period we hold those properties. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded net losses of $3.3 million in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans as compared to net gains totaling $3.7 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

The shift in results of REO from a gain during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to a loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to recognition of large valuation losses on several properties in the Company’s portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, along with the effect on gain on sale of REO related to enhancements in the measurement of fair value of mortgage loans immediately before transfer to REO, which has resulted in larger valuation gains on mortgage loans at fair value immediately before the transfer to REO. These gains were partially offset by more exposure to valuation adjustments during the period we hold the respective properties and to reduced gains on sale when we ultimately sell the properties.

Net Loan Servicing Fees

When we sell mortgage loans, we generally enter into a contract to service the mortgage loans and recognize the value of such contracts as MSRs. Under these contracts, we perform loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and the right to other compensation. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.

(1) Includes contractually specified servicing and ancillary fees.

Our servicing fees increased $10.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to the growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Correspondent lending activity—presently the primary source of our mortgage loan servicing portfolio—began to increase in the fourth quarter of 2011. As a result, our mortgage loan servicing portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was much smaller than during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement that requires PLS to transfer to us the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in refinancing transactions where PLS refinances a mortgage loan for which we previously held the MSRs. PLS is generally required to transfer MSRs relating to such mortgage loans (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. We recognized approximately $133,000 of such income during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

Increased expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 were primarily a result of the growth in the Company’s investment portfolio, the use of borrowings to finance that growth and the substantial growth in our correspondent lending activities.

Loan fulfillment fees payable to an affiliate represent fees we pay to PLS for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans purchased. The increase of $22.0 million in the fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 is due to the substantial growth in the volume of Agency-eligible and jumbo mortgage loans we purchase in our correspondent lending activities.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we incurred interest expense totaling $11.2 million as compared to $6.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Our interest cost was 3.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 3.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense reflects our increased use of borrowings in support of growth of our balance sheet throughout 2012 and 2013, partially offset by declining interest rates from 2012 to 2013 and a shift in borrowings toward financing more liquid assets which are financeable with lower borrowing rates.

Loan servicing expenses grew from $4.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $8.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as our average investment in mortgage loans increased by 112% from the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Included in loan servicing fees were activity-based fees of which the amount increased by $2.1 million, generally relating to the liquidation of loans.

Loan servicing expenses are summarized below for the periods presented:

Management fees increased by $4.7 million compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the increase in the base management fee, which increased due to the increase in shareholders’ equity, and the incentive fee. This was the first quarter the incentive fee was earned by our Manager and is linked to the Company’s profitability.

Compensation expense increased due to the effect on 2012 stock-based compensation expense of restricted share units granted during the second quarter of 2012 to our officers and trustees as well as certain employees of PCM and its affiliates.

Professional services expense increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to the heightened level of mortgage investment acquisition activity which requires support in the form of due diligence and legal consultations.

Other expense items increased commensurately with increased business activity and asset growth.

Income Taxes

We had elected to treat two of our subsidiaries as TRSs. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we revoked the election to treat our wholly owned subsidiary that is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership as a TRS. As a result, beginning September 1, 2012, only PMC is treated as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT.

No such dividend distributions have been made to date. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC and, for the period for which TRS treatment had been elected, the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

In general, cash dividends declared by us will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. Of the 2012 distributions, approximately 83% were characterized as ordinary income and 17% were characterized as a return of capital.

Below is a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to estimated taxable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the allocation between the TRS and the REIT:

Total assets increased by approximately $367.5 million or 14% during the period from December 31, 2012 through March 31, 2013. Growth in total assets reflects growth of investments totaling $381.2 million or 16% from December 31, 2012. We financed our asset growth through additional borrowings of $358.9 million or 29% compared to December 31, 2012. We made net mortgage loan investments (excluding the purchase of correspondent lending loans) of $177.0 million or an increase of 15% compared to December 31, 2012. The increase is related to purchases of $200.5 million and fair valuation changes of $64.0 million partially offset by repayments of $61.4 million during the period the valuation changes resulted from a continuing stabilization in home prices and fair value appreciation of the loans as they progress toward their ultimate resolution. Through our correspondent lending activities, we also purchased newly-originated mortgage loans totaling $8.8 billion. Our acquisitions are summarized below.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we purchased for sale $8.8 billion in fair value of correspondent lending loans compared to $1.9 billion in fair value of correspondent lending loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase is a result of our growing correspondent seller network relationships as well as the refinance activity due to the low interest rate environment. Our ability to continue the expansion of our correspondent lending business is subject to our ability to obtain additional inventory financing and our ability to fund the portion of the loans not financed, either through cash flows from business activities or the raising of additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in increasing our borrowing capacity or in obtaining the additional equity capital necessary or that we will be able to identify additional sources of mortgage loans.

(1) Performance status as of the date of acquisition.
(2) All of our distressed asset purchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.

Our acquisition during the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were financed primarily through the use of borrowings. We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment activities portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

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

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

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

The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 13.1% at December 31, 2012 to 12.5% at March 31, 2013 as market participant expected returns for similar assets have decreased during the quarter.

The weighted average twelve-month projected housing price index (“HPI”) change increased from 1.1% at December 31, 2012 to 3.6% at March 31, 2013 due to recent improvements observed in the residential housing sector increasing the expectation of positive home price appreciation.

The total prepayment speed of our mortgage loans at fair value portfolio increased from 20.6% at December 31, 2012 to 21.0% at March 31, 2013, primarily due to increase in mortgage loans moving from nonperforming to performing and an increase in mortgage loans moving towards resolution.

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

Cash Flows

Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $14.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to cash used in our operating and investing activities exceeding cash provided through our financing activities. Cash used by operating activities totaled $225.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to our purchase of mortgage loans acquired for sale exceeding cash proceeds from our sales by $166.0 million. Cash provided by operating activities totaling $47.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the reduction of our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale. While our mortgage loan acquisition activity continued to increase during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we realized the benefit of increased operational efficiency in the packaging and sale of the mortgage loans, thereby reducing the time we held the loans pending sale.

Net cash used by investing activities was $114.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This use of cash reflects the growth of our investment portfolio. We used cash to purchase mortgage loans with fair values of $200.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Offsetting this use in cash were cash inflows from repayments of mortgage loans and sales of REO totaling $61.4 million and $32.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by investing activities totaled $109.5 million due to the maturity of a $50.0 million United States Treasury security and proceeds of $68.4 million from certain investments.

Approximately 40% of our investments, comprised of non-correspondent lending mortgage loans, REO and MSRs, were nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2013. Nonperforming assets include mortgage loans delinquent 90 or more days and REO. Accordingly, we expect that these assets will require a longer period to begin producing cash flow and the timing and amount of cash flows from these assets is less certain than for performing assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we transferred $31.7 million of mortgage loans to REO and realized cash proceeds from the sales and repayments of mortgage loans at fair values and REO totaling $61.4 million and $32.0 million, respectively.

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

(1) Represents valuation gains and losses recognized during the period we held the respective asset but excludes the gain or loss recorded upon sale or repayment of the respective asset.
(2) Represents the gain or loss recognized as of the date of sale or repayment of the respective asset.

The amounts included in accumulated gains and gain on liquidation do not include the cost of managing the liquidated assets. Rather, they include the amount of accumulated valuation gains and losses recognized throughout the holding period—which may be substantial depending on the collection status of the loan at acquisition and on our success in working with the borrower to resolve the source of distress in the loan—and in the case of REO, includes direct transaction costs incurred in the sale of the property. Accordingly, the preceding amounts do not represent periodic earnings on a cash basis and the amount of gain will have accumulated over varying periods depending on the liquidation period for individual assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $325.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, during which we increased borrowings through repurchase agreements in order to finance growth in our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans at fair value and recording of MSRs through our sale activity. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continues to evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be proceeds from or through earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We believe our current liquidity is sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs.

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent and appropriate. We have made borrowings in the form of borrowings under forward purchase agreements, sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, and a note payable secured by mortgage loans at fair value. To the extent available to us, we expect in the future to obtain long-term financing for assets with estimated future lives of more than one year; this may include term financing and securitization of performing (including newly purchased jumbo mortgage loans), nonperforming and/or re-performing mortgage loans.

Until attractive long-term financing is procured, we will continue to finance our assets on a short-term basis through agreements to repurchase and other secured lending and structured finance facilities, pending the ultimate disposition of the assets, whether through sale, securitization or liquidation. Because our current debt facilities consist solely of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

We use debt financing, primarily through the use of repurchase agreements and forward purchase agreements, as a means of extending our balance sheet capacity. Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the assets at a later date. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase mortgage loans and REO totaled $1.2 billion, and the maximum daily amount

 

76


Table of Contents

outstanding under such agreements totaled $1.6 billion. The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding was due to the continuing growth of our investments in these assets. The total facility size of our borrowings was $2.7 billion at March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we financed our investments in mortgage loans at fair value and REO, and our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, under agreements to repurchase and forward purchase agreements as follows:

 

     March 31, 2013     December 31, 2012  
     (in thousands)

Percentage of invested assets pledged

     91     86

Advance rate against pledged assets

     69     65

The increase in the percentage of assets pledged and advance rate against pledged assets at March 31, 2013 was primarily due to financing of purchases of mortgage loans for investment and for our correspondent lending segment.

As discussed above, all of our borrowings have short-term maturities:

 

   

The transactions relating to mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase mature between May 23, 2013 and January 2, 2014 and provide for sale to major financial institution counterparties based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans sold. The agreements provide for terms of approximately one year.

 

   

The transactions relating to REO are secured financings that mature on June 5, 2013 and provide for sale to a major financial institution counterparty at advance rates based on the estimated fair value of the REO.

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

 

   

profitability at each of the Company and two of our subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership and PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust Holdings I, LLC (“PMITH”), for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and at our subsidiary, PMC, for the prior three (3) calendar quarters;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 3:1 for the Company, 10:1 for PMC and 5:1 for the Operating Partnership and PMITH;

 

   

a maximum ratio of indebtedness related to other than newly originated mortgage loans to tangible net worth, of less than 3:1 for PMC; and

 

   

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful. Further, counterparty credit sensitivity and collateral documentation requirements have made it difficult to obtain financing for REO, the result of which could place stress on our capital and liquidity positions at certain times during the foreclosure cycles of the related nonperforming loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

As of March 31, 2013, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2013, all of our known on-balance sheet contractual obligations that relate to financing agreements mature within one year. As of March 31, 2013, we had on-balance sheet contractual obligations of $1.6 billion to finance assets under agreements to repurchase with maturities between May 23, 2013 and January 2, 2014. All agreements to repurchase that matured between March 31, 2013 and the date of this Report have been renewed, extended or repaid and are described in Note 15—Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase at Fair Value, Note 16—Mortgage Loans Acquired for Sale Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Note 17—Mortgage Loans at Fair Value Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The amount at risk (the fair value of the assets pledged plus the related margin deposit, less the amount advanced by the counterparty and interest payable) relating to the Company’s assets sold under agreements to repurchase and forward purchase agreements is summarized by counterparty below as of March 31, 2013:

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

The performance incentive fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.” For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee, “net income” is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees. For this purpose, “equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of our public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the four-quarter period.

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and escalates as net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) increases over certain thresholds. On each calculation date, the threshold amounts represent a stated return on equity, plus or minus a “high watermark” adjustment. The performance fee payable for any quarter is equal to: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.

The high watermark starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. The quarterly adjustment reflects the amount by which the net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the Fannie Mae MBS Yield (the target yield) for such quarter. If the net income is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for our Manager to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of our net income over (or under) the target yield, until the net income in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or in our common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at our option.

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

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

Servicing Agreement. We have entered into a servicing agreement with our Servicer pursuant to which our Servicer provides servicing for our portfolio of residential mortgage loans. The loan servicing provided by our Servicer includes collecting principal, interest and escrow account payments, if any, with respect to mortgage loans, as well as managing loss mitigation, which may include, among other things, collection activities, loan workouts, modifications, foreclosures and short sales. Our Servicer also engages in certain loan origination activities that include refinancing mortgage loans and financings

that facilitate sales of real estate owned properties, or REOs. The term of our servicing agreement, as amended, expires on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

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

The base servicing fees for loans subserviced by our Servicer on our behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fees for loans subserviced on our behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate mortgage loans. To the extent that these loans become delinquent, our Servicer is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan falling within a range of $10 to $75 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or the related underlying real estate. Our Servicer is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, and assumption, modification and origination fees.

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

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

In addition, because we do not have any employees or infrastructure, our Servicer is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, our Servicer receives a supplemental fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan and $3.25 per month for each other subserviced loan. Our Servicer is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, bona fide reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our Servicer in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

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

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

In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by our Servicer with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans, our Servicer is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that we acquire and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Presently, the applicable percentages are (i) 0.50% for conventional mortgage loans, (ii) 0.88% for loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, (iii) 0.80% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 105% or less, (iv) 1.20% for HARP mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater than 105%, and (v) 0.50% for all other mortgage loans not contemplated above. At this time, we do not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under our MBWS agreement, our Servicer currently purchases loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from us at our cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee of three basis points.

Table of Contents

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

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

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

MSR Recapture Agreement. Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into an MSR recapture agreement with our Servicer. Pursuant to the terms of our MSR recapture agreement, if our Servicer refinances via its retail lending business loans for which we previously held the mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, our Servicer is generally required to transfer and convey to us, without cost to us, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. The initial term of our MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on February 1, 2017, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

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

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

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In response to this Item 3, the information set forth on pages 81 through 83 is incorporated herein by reference.

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 (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 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 5. Other Information

On May 8, 2013, the Company, through two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, PMC and PMITH, entered into an amendment to our amended and restated master repurchase agreement, dated as of August 25, 2011, by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) and PMC, PMITH and the Company (the “NPL Facility”).

Under the terms of the NPL Facility, (i) PMITH may sell to CSFB eligible nonperforming mortgage loans, and (ii) PMC may sell to CSFB eligible nonperforming mortgage loans and equity interests (the “SPE Entity Interest”) in a special purpose entity that owns real property acquired upon settlement of mortgage loans (“REO Property”). The principal amount paid by CSFB is based on a percentage of the market value of the mortgage loans or the REO Property underlying the SPE Entity Interest (each, a “Facility Asset”), as applicable. The obligations of PMC and PMITH, as applicable, are fully guaranteed by the Company, and the mortgage loans and real property are serviced by PLS pursuant to the terms of the NPL Facility.

Upon our repurchase, or the sale, securitization or liquidation, of a Facility Asset pursuant to the terms of the NPL Facility, we are required to repay CSFB the principal amount related to such Facility Asset plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and based on CSFB’s cost of funds plus a margin) to the date of such repurchase, sale, securitization or liquidation. We are also required to pay CSFB a commitment fee for the NPL Facility, as well as certain other administrative costs and expenses in connection with CSFB’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the NPL Facility.

Under the terms of the amendment to the NPL Facility, we modified certain of our financial covenants, which now include maintaining the following: (i) a minimum tangible net worth of $860 million at the Company, $250 million at PMITH and $150 million at PMC, (ii) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, on a consolidated basis, in minimum amounts of $40 million at the Company, $10 million at each of PMITH and PMC, and $25 million at PMITH and PMC in the aggregate, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 5:1 at each of the Company and PMITH and 10:1 at PMC; and (iv) profitability at each of PMITH and PMC for at least one (1) of the previous two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. All other terms and conditions of the NPL Facility and the related guaranty remain the same in all material respects.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the NPL Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, which has been filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.51, the full text of the NPL Facility, which was filed as Exhibit 10.28 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 8, 2011, the full text of the related guaranty, which was filed as Exhibit 1.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 14, 2011, and the full text of any amendments to the NPL Facility filed thereafter.

On May 8, 2013, the Company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, entered into an amendment to our master repurchase agreement, dated September 28, 2012, by and among CSFB and the Operating Partnership and the Company (the “Re-warehouse Facility”).

Under the terms of the Re-warehouse Facility, the Operating Partnership may sell to CSFB, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans for which the Operating Partnership provides financing to third party mortgage loan originators. The principal amount paid by CSFB for each eligible mortgage loan is based upon a percentage of the lesser of the market value or the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. The obligations of the Operating Partnership are fully guaranteed by the Company, and the mortgage loans and real property are serviced by PLS pursuant to the terms of the Re-warehouse Facility.

Upon our repurchase of a mortgage loan pursuant to the terms of the Re-warehouse Facility, we are required to repay CSFB the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and based on CSFB’s cost of funds plus a margin) to the date of such repurchase. We are also required to pay CSFB certain administrative costs and expenses in connection with CSFB’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the Re-warehouse Facility.

Under the terms of the amendment to the Re-warehouse Facility, we modified certain of our financial covenants, which now include maintaining the following: (i) a minimum tangible net worth of $860 million at the Company and $700 million at the Operating Partnership, (ii) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, on a consolidated basis, in minimum amounts of $40 million at each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 5:1 at each of the Company and the Operating Partnership; and (iv) profitability at the Operating Partnership for at least one (1) of the previous two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. All other terms and conditions of the Re-warehouse Facility and the related guaranty remain the same in all material respects.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the Re-warehouse Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, which has been filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.80, and the full text of the Re-warehouse Facility and the related guaranty, which were filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2012.
