MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (“PHH” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

In addition to the notable items presented above, our results include expenses associated with the sale and separation of our Fleet business, net of transition services revenue, which for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1 million and $14 million, respectively, and $2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Glen A. Messina, president and CEO of PHH Corporation, said, "We have spent extensive time during the third quarter to gain additional insight into our outstanding regulatory matters and to refine the expected capital requirements associated with these regulatory matters, as well as our inorganic growth and servicing portfolio re-balancing initiatives. As a result, our Board of Directors has extended the authorization for the Share Repurchase Program through December 31, 2016 and we expect to commence up to $100 million in open market share repurchases effective at our next available securities purchase window. We continue to realize the benefits of our re-engineering activities, as our Core loss before notable items narrowed during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the prior quarter. Looking forward to 2016, we expect to be breakeven to modestly profitable for the full year 2016, on the same basis, assuming market and interest conditions materialize as expected and the successful execution of our strategic initiatives."

Messina added, "We are resolute in our commitment to executing a capital deployment framework to achieve our long-term return objectives. The current dynamics in the mortgage industry reinforce the need to meaningfully increase scale in both our production and servicing segments to achieve sustained profitability. We are making the necessary investments in our business that we believe will generate shareholder value, and we look forward to continuing to respond to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for our business."

Mortgage Production

Mortgage Production Segment Results

Mortgage Production segment loss in the third quarter of 2015 was $10 million, compared to a segment profit of $3 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a segment loss of $28 million in the third quarter of 2014. The $13 million unfavorable change in segment results during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2015 was due to a $25 million decrease in Net revenues that was partially offset by a $9 million decrease in Total expenses. The decline in Total revenues was due to a $17 million decrease in Gain on loans held for sale, net driven a 20% decline in IRLCs expected to close and a $12 million decrease in Origination and other loan fees driven by a 13% decline in the number of retail closing units that was partially offset by a $4 million improvement in Net interest income resulting from a reduction in our unsecured debt. These decreases in Net revenues were partially offset by a $9 million decrease in Total expenses primarily related to lower closing volume. The $18 million improvement in segment results in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 was due to a $17 million increase in Total revenue primarily driven by an $8 million improvement in Unsecured interest expense and $7 million of operating benefits from amendments to our private label agreements.

Mortgage Production Statistics

Total third quarter 2015 mortgage closings were $10.3 billion, down 14% from the second quarter of 2015 and up 5% from the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in total closing compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to the short-term decrease in interest rates during the early part of 2015 that led to a brief increase in refinance application volumes. The increase in total closings compared to the third quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by a 13% increase in refinance closings from lower relative interest rates.

Fee-based closings as a percentage of total closings continued to remain high in the third quarter of 2015, representing 66% of total closings, the same level as the second quarter of 2015 and increasing from 65% of total closings in the third quarter of 2014. Our Mortgage production results reflect the progress we have made to realize operating benefits from amendments to our private label agreements; however, the higher mix of fee-based closings has adversely impacted profitability since the revenue per loan on fee-based closings is generally lower than saleable closings.

IRLCs expected to close of $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2015 decreased 20% from the second quarter of 2015 and 6% from the third quarter of 2014. Total loan margin on IRLCs expected to close for the third quarter of 2015 was 319 bps, a 20 bps increase from the second quarter of 2015 and a 41 bps increase from the third quarter of 2014. The increase in total loan margin from the second quarter of 2015 is consistent with a lower relative interest rate environment as loan margins tend to widen in periods of declining interest rates as industry participants attempt to balance origination volume with operational capacity.

Mortgage Servicing

Mortgage Servicing Segment Results

Mortgage Servicing segment loss in the third quarter of 2015 was $77 million, compared to a segment loss of $46 million and $71 million in the second quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2014, respectively. We continued to incur higher provisions for legal and regulatory matters as our segment results include provisions of $44 million, $34 million and $20 million for the third quarter of 2015, second quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2014, respectively. In addition, during the third quarter of 2015, we recorded $22 million of unfavorable market-related fair value adjustment to our MSRs, net of related derivatives compared to favorable adjustments of $20 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $22 million unfavorable market-related fair value adjustment for the third quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable a decrease in mortgage interest rates. Total expenses were down $9 million from the second quarter of 2015, due to lower delinquent servicing expenses and loss provisions that were partially offset by higher provisions for legal and regulatory matters. Total expenses were up $12 million compared to the third quarter of 2014 driven by higher provisions for legal and regulatory matters that was partially offset by decreases in Professional and third-party service fees and Repurchase and foreclosure-related charges.

Mortgage Servicing Statistics

At September 30, 2015, the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of our capitalized servicing portfolio was $101.8 billion, down 10% from December 31, 2014, and 15% from September 30, 2014. Our capitalized servicing portfolio continues to decline as payoffs, curtailments and sales have exceeded additions from new loan production. During the third quarter of 2015, we continued to execute sales of newly-created MSRs for which we retain the right to subservice the underlying loans.

At September 30, 2015, the UPB of our total loan servicing portfolio was $226.9 billion, which was nearly unchanged from both December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014. Activity in our total loan servicing portfolio since the end of 2014 reflects the declines in our capitalized servicing portfolio and a sale of a delinquent GNMA portfolio which transferred in the first quarter of 2015, that was partially offset by an increase in our subservicing UPB driven by fee-based closings and sales of newly-created MSRs.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

At September 30, 2015, the book value of our MSR was $927 million, representing a 91 bps capitalized servicing rate. The MSR book value and capitalized servicing rate at December 31, 2014 was $1.0 billion and 89 bps of the capitalized loan servicing portfolio. The MSR book value at September 30, 2014 was $1.1 billion, representing a 93 bps capitalized servicing rate. During the third quarter of 2015, there was a $72 million decrease from market-related fair value adjustments, a $43 million decrease related to prepayments and the receipt of recurring cash flows and a $10 million decrease from MSR sales that was partially offset by $32 million in MSR book value that was added from loans sold.

Liquidity Update

Liquidity at September 30, 2015 included $881 million in unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash held in variable interest entities. As of September 30, 2015, we had $615 million total principal of unsecured debt outstanding with our next maturity date in September 2019.

Open Market Share Repurchases

We intend to commence open market share repurchases of up to $100 million dollars effective upon the next available securities purchase window. The execution of share repurchases is subject to market and business conditions and the trading price of our common stock. In addition, our Board of Directors has extended its prior authorization for up to $250 million in open market share repurchases from March 31 to December 31, 2016. In considering the implementation of open market share repurchases in excess of $100 million, we will closely monitor regulatory developments and evaluate our overall capital structure, liquidity position and the nature of other potential uses of cash, including investments in growth.

* NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP financial measures for all periods presented reflect the continuing operations of the Company and exclude the results of the Fleet business and amounts related to the disposition of the business.

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

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share involves differences from Segment profit or loss, Income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation computed in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Segment profit or loss, Income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation or Basic earnings or loss per share from continuing operations computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted cash flow excludes the change in the Cash balance of discontinued operations and involves differences from Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted cash flow should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Tangible book value and tangible book value per share involve differences from Total PHH Corporation stockholders’ equity computed in accordance with GAAP. Tangible book value and tangible book value per share should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Total PHH Corporation stockholders’ equity computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s financial position.

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

The Company also believes that any meaningful analysis of the Company’s financial performance by investors requires an understanding of the factors that drive the Company’s underlying operating performance which can be obscured by significant unrealized changes in value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights, as well as any gain or loss on derivatives that are intended to offset market-related fair value adjustments on the Company’s mortgage servicing rights, in a given period that are included in Segment profit or loss, Income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic earnings or loss per share from continuing operations attributable to PHH Corporation in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

Value lost from actual prepayments and recurring cash flows are recorded when actual cash payments or prepayments of the underlying loans are received, and are included in core earnings based on the current fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at the time the payments are received.

The presentation of core earnings is designed to more closely align the timing of recognizing the actual value lost from prepayments in the mortgage servicing segment with the associated value created through new originations in the mortgage production segment.

Limitations on the use of Core Earnings: Since core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share measure the Company’s financial performance from continuing operations excluding unrealized changes in value of mortgage servicing rights, such measures may not appropriately reflect the rate of value lost on subsequent actual payments or prepayments over time. As such, core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share may tend to overstate operating results in a declining interest rate environment and understate operating results in a rising interest rate environment, absent the effect of any offsetting gains or losses on derivatives that are intended to offset changes in fair value on the Company’s mortgage servicing rights.

Adjusted cash flow

Adjusted cash flow excludes the change in the Cash balance of discontinued operations and measures the Company’s Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations for a given period excluding changes resulting from the issuance or repurchase of equity, the purchase of derivative securities related to the Company’s stock or the issuance or repayment of unsecured or other debt by PHH Corporation. The Company believes that Adjusted cash flow is a useful measure for investors because the Company’s ability to repay future unsecured debt maturities or return capital to equity holders is highly dependent on a demonstrated ability to generate cash. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted cash flow may assist investors in determining the amount of cash and cash equivalents generated from business activities during a period that is available to repay unsecured debt or distribute to holders of the Company’s equity.

Adjusted cash flow can be generated through a combination of earnings, more efficient utilization of asset-backed funding facilities, or an improved working capital position. Adjusted cash flow can vary significantly between periods based upon a variety of potential factors including, but not limited to, timing related to cash collateral postings, mortgage origination volumes and loan margins.

Limitations on the use of Adjusted Cash Flow: Adjusted cash flow is not a substitute for the Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for a period and is not intended to provide the Company’s total sources and uses of cash or measure its change in liquidity. As such, it is important that investors review the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for a more detailed understanding of the drivers of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.

Tangible book value and Tangible book value per share

Tangible book value is a measure of Total PHH Corporation stockholders’ equity computed in accordance with GAAP excluding the value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is a measure of tangible book value, on a per share basis, using the number of shares of outstanding PHH Corporation common stock as of the applicable measurement date.
