SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:
|
• |
projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items; |
|
• |
descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services; |
|
• |
forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets; and |
|
• |
descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues. |
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022.

changes in interest rates; |
|
• |
our exposure to risks of loss and disruptions in operations resulting from adverse weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters, climate change and pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic; |

|
• |
limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules for us to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and qualify for an exclusion from the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to qualify as REITs or as taxable REIT subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, and our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to operate effectively within the limitations imposed by these rules; |
|
• |
changes in governmental regulations, accounting treatment, tax rates and similar matters (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs, or the exclusions from registration as an investment company); |

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1—Organization
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage-related assets. The Company operates in four segments: credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies, correspondent production, and corporate:
|
• |
The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in credit risk transfer (“CRT”) arrangements, including CRT agreements (“CRT Agreements”) and CRT securities (together, “CRT arrangements”), subordinate mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), distressed loans and real estate. |
|
• |
The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”) purchased from PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), a publicly-traded mortgage banking and investment management company, Agency and senior non-Agency MBS and the related interest rate hedging activities. |
|
• |
The correspondent production segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PFSI. |
The Company primarily sells the loans it acquires through its correspondent production activities to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or to PLS for sale into securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.”
|
• |
The corporate segment includes management fees, corporate expense amounts and certain interest income. |
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Accounting Change
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be anticipated for the full year. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
The Company held no restricted cash during the periods presented. Therefore, the consolidated statements of cash flows do not include references to restricted cash.

Accounting Change
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in ASC subtopic 470-20, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options for convertible instruments.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company reclassified approximately $50.3 million of issuance discount originally recognized in the issuance of Exchangeable senior notes from Additional paid-in capital to the carrying value of the Exchangeable senior notes and $9.4 million of previously recognized accrual of the issuance discount, as an adjustment to the Accumulated deficit effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 reduced Interest expense by approximately $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as the result of the elimination of the issuance discount.
Note 3—Concentration of Risks
As discussed in Note 1 – Organization above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, including CRT arrangements, subordinate MBS and MSRs. CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS are more sensitive to borrower credit performance than other mortgage-related investments such as traditional loans and Agency MBS. MSRs are sensitive to changes in prepayment rate activity and expectations.
Credit Risk
Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities details the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements whereby the Company sells pools of recently-originated loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while either:
|
• |
through May 2018, entering into CRT Agreements, whereby it retains a portion of the credit risk underlying such loans as part of the retention of an interest-only (“IO”) ownership interest in such loans and an obligation to absorb scheduled credit losses arising from such loans reaching a specific number of days delinquent; or |
|
• |
from June 2018 through 2020, entering into firm commitments to purchase and purchasing CRT securities and, upon purchase of such securities, holding CRT strips representing an IO ownership interest that absorbs realized credit losses arising from loans in the reference pools backing the CRT securities. The obligation to absorb the losses for both CRT Agreements and CRT securities represent the Company’s recourse obligations included in the arrangements (“Recourse Obligations”). |
The Company also invests in subordinate MBS which are among the first beneficial interests in the related securitizations to absorb credit losses on the underlying loans.
The Company’s retention of credit risk through its investment in CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS subjects it to risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure similar to the risks of loss associated with owning the underlying loans, which is greater than the risk of loss associated with selling such loans to Fannie Mae without the retention of such credit risk in the case of CRT arrangements and investing in senior mortgage pass through securities in the case of subordinate MBS.
CRT Agreements are structured such that loans that reach a specific number of days delinquent (including loans in forbearance which also includes those subject to the forbearance provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)) trigger losses chargeable to the CRT Agreements based on the size of the loan and a contractual schedule of loss severity. Therefore, the risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure may in some instances be greater than the risks associated with owning the related loans because the structure of the CRT Agreements provides that the Company may be required to absorb losses in the event of delinquency or foreclosure even when there is ultimately no loss realized with respect to such loans (e.g., as a result of a borrower’s re-performance). In contrast, the structure of the Company’s investment in CRT strips requires PMT to absorb losses only when the reference loans realize losses.
Fair Value Risk
The Company is exposed to fair value risk in addition to the risks specific to credit and, as a result of prevailing market conditions or the economy generally, may be required to recognize losses associated with adverse changes to the fair value of its investments in MSRs, CRT arrangements, and MBS:
|
• |
The fair value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in prepayment speeds, estimates of cost to service the underlying loans or the returns demanded by market participants; |
|
• |
The fair values of CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS are sensitive to market perceptions of future credit performance of the underlying loans as well as the actual credit performance of such loans and to the returns required by market participants to hold such investments; and |
|
• |
The fair value of Agency and senior non-Agency pass through MBS is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. |

Note 4—Transactions with Related Parties
Operating Activities
Correspondent Production Activities
The Company is provided fulfillment and other services by PLS under an amended and restated mortgage banking services agreement. The Company does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and service the underlying loans. Accordingly, under the agreement, PLS currently purchases loans saleable in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company at cost less any administrative fees paid by the correspondent to the Company plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee.
Fulfillment and sourcing fees are summarized below:
|
• |
Fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following: |
|
(i) |
the number of loan commitments issued by the Company multiplied by a pull-through factor of either .99 or .80 depending on whether the loan commitments are subject to a “mandatory trade confirmation” or a “best efforts lock confirmation”, respectively, and then multiplied by $585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus |
|
(ii) |
$315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 multiplied by the number of purchased loans in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus |
|
(iii) |
$750 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are sold or securitized to parties other than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; provided however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae loans. |
|
• |
Sourcing fees range from one to two basis points of the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans are held by PMT before purchase by PLS. |
The mortgage banking services agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, on June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Company may purchase newly originated conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans from PLS under a mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement.

Loan Servicing
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, has a loan servicing agreement with PLS (the “Servicing Agreement”) pursuant to which PLS provides subservicing for the Company's portfolio of MSRs, loans held for sale and loans held in VIEs (prime servicing) and its portfolio of residential loans purchased with credit deterioration (distressed loans). The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees earned by PLS that are established at a fixed per loan monthly amount based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Servicing Agreement expires on June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
Prime Servicing
The base servicing fees for prime loans subserviced by PLS on the Company’s behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.
To the extent that these prime loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO.
PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and certain fees for COVID-19 pandemic-related forbearance and modification activities it provides as required by the CARES Act.
Special Servicing (Distressed Loans)
The base servicing fee rates for distressed loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $95 per month for loans in foreclosure proceedings. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month.
PLS receives activity-based fees for modifications, foreclosures and liquidations that it facilitates with respect to distressed loans, as well as other market-based refinancing and loan disposition fees. PLS may also receive REO rental fees, property lease renewal fees, property management fees, tenant paid application fees, late rent fees, and third-party vendor fees.
MSR Recapture Agreement
The Company has an MSR recapture agreement with PFSI. Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement, if PFSI refinances mortgage loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PFSI is generally required to transfer and convey to the Company cash in an amount equal to:
|
• |
40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 15% of the “recapture rate”; |
|
• |
35% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 15% and up to 30%; and |
|
• |
30% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 30%. |
The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all recaptured loans, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month. PFSI has further agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of at least 15%.
The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, on June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

Management Fees
The Company has a management agreement with PCM pursuant to which the Company pays PCM management fees as follows:
|
• |
A base management fee that is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. |
|
• |
A performance incentive fee that is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.” |
The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of: (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 attributable to common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussion between the Manager and the Company’s independent trustees and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent trustees.
“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of the Company’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four-quarter period.
“High watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on equity) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS yield (the target yield) for the four quarters then ended. The “high watermark” starts at zero and is adjusted quarterly. If “net income” is lower than the target yield, the “high watermark” is increased by the difference. If “net income” is higher than the target yield, the “high watermark” is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the “high watermark” returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for PCM to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the target yield, until “net income” in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative “high watermark” amount.
The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both payable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at the Company’s option.
In the event of termination of the management agreement between the Company and PCM, PCM may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by PCM, in each case during the 24-month period before termination.

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

Investing Activities
Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements
The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), has an amended and restated master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PLS (the “Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase from PLS, from time to time, participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by PLS, in which case PLS generally would be required to service or subservice the related loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by the Company in connection with its participation in the GNMA MSR Facility (defined below).
To the extent PLS refinances any of the loans relating to the ESS the Company has acquired, the Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to the Company, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the UPB of the newly originated loans. However, under the Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the UPB of the refinanced loans, PLS is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the UPB of the modified loans, the Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require PLS to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, settle its recapture liability to the Company in cash in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.
The remaining balance of the ESS was repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Following is a summary of investing activities between the Company and PFSI:

PFSI held 75,000 of the Company’s common shares at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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

Note 6—Variable Interest Entities
The Company is a variable interest holder in various Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) that relate to its investing and financing activities.
Credit Risk Transfer Arrangements
The Company has entered into certain loan sales arrangements pursuant to which it accepts credit risk relating to the loans sold in exchange for a portion of the interest earned on such loans. These arrangements absorb scheduled or incurred credit losses on such loans and include CRT Agreements and CRT strips.
The Company, through its subsidiary, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), entered into CRT Agreements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which PMC, through subsidiary trust entities, sold pools of loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining Recourse Obligations as part of the retention of IO ownership interests in such loans. The Company placed Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors into the subsidiary trust entities to secure its Recourse Obligations. The Company recognizes its IO ownership interests and Recourse Obligations on the consolidated balance sheets as CRT Derivatives in Derivative assets and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities.
The Company’s exposure to losses under its Recourse Obligations was initially established at rates ranging from 3.5% to 4.0% of the UPB of the loans sold under the CRT arrangements. As the UPB of the loans underlying each CRT arrangement is reduced through repayments, the percentage exposure of each CRT arrangement will increase to maximums ranging from 4.5% to 5.0% of outstanding UPB, although the total dollar amount of exposure to losses does not increase. The final sales of loans subject to the CRT Agreements were made during May 2018.
Effective in June 2018, the Company began entering into a different type of CRT arrangement. Under the new arrangement, the Company sold loans subject to agreements that required PMT to purchase securities that absorb incurred credit losses on such loans. The final sales of loans subject to this type of CRT arrangement were made during September 2020.
The Company purchased the securities subject to the agreements. Similar to the CRT Agreements, the Company accounts for the deposits collateralizing these securities as Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors and recognizes its IO ownership interests and Recourse Obligations as CRT strips, which are also included on the consolidated balance sheet in Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities.
The Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors relating to CRT arrangements represent the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to losses. Gains and losses on the derivatives and strips (including the IO ownership interest sold to nonaffiliates) included in the CRT arrangements are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.

Subordinate Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company retains or purchases subordinate MBS in transactions sponsored by PMC or a nonaffiliate. Cash inflows from these loans are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with the contractual priority of payments and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay the senior certificates.
The rights of holders of the subordinate certificates to receive distributions of principal and/or interest, as applicable, are subordinate to the rights of holders of the senior certificates. After the senior certificates are repaid, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinate certificates, including those held by the Company, until they are fully repaid.
The Company’s retention or purchase of subordinate MBS exposes PMT to the credit risk in the underlying loans because the Company’s beneficial interests are among the first beneficial interests to absorb credit losses on those assets. The Company’s exposure to losses from its investments in subordinate MBS is limited to its recorded investment in such securities.
Whether the Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs issuing these subordinate MBS and therefore consolidates these entities is based on its exposure to losses that could be significant to the VIEs and its power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance:
|
• |
Certain of the Company’s investments in subordinate MBS either do not expose the Company to losses that could be significant to the issuing VIE or the Company has concluded that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. These investments are classified as credit linked securities in its investment in MBS as shown in Note 8 – Mortgage-Backed Securities. |
|
• |
For other investments in subordinate MBS, comprised of transactions backed by loans purchased by the Company that were subsequently included in securitizations sponsored by the Company or a nonaffiliate and serviced by PLS, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it has the power, through PLS, in its role as the servicer or sub-servicer of the loans, to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and, as a holder of subordinate securities, is exposed to losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, PMT consolidates those VIEs. |
The Company recognizes the interest income earned on the loans owned by the consolidated VIEs and the interest expense attributable to the asset-backed securities issued to nonaffiliates by the consolidated VIEs on its consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s investment in subordinate MBS included in its consolidated VIEs are summarized below:

Note 7— Fair Value
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured at or based on their fair values. Measurement at or based on fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Company has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.
The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:
|
• |
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
• |
Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. |
19
|
• |
Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.
The Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Company identified all of PMT’s non-cash financial assets and MSRs to be accounted for at fair value. The Company has elected to account for these assets at 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.
The Company has also identified its Asset-backed financings at fair value and Interest-only security payable at fair value to reflect the generally offsetting changes in fair value of these borrowings to changes in fair value of the assets at fair value collateralizing these financings. For other borrowings, the Company has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt facility, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

The Company remeasures its REO based on fair value when it evaluates the REO for impairment. The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less cost to sell. REO may be revalued after acquisition due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s fair value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
Most of the Company’s borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and Exchangeable senior notes are classified as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values.
The Company has concluded that the fair values of these borrowings other than Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and Exchangeable senior notes approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the borrowing agreements’ variable interest rates and short maturities.

Valuation Governance
Most of the Company’s assets, its Asset-backed financings at fair value, Interest-only security payable at fair value and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities at fair value are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period results of operations. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.
Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair value of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight:
|
• |
PFSI’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures. |
|
• |
PFSI’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff develops the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs which is reviewed by PFSI’s Capital Markets Operations group. |
With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee. PFSI’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s chief financial, investment and credit officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, capital markets and risk management staffs.
The FAV group is responsible for reporting to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company categorizes its current holdings of MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets. Fair value of these MBS is established based on quoted market prices for the Company’s MBS holdings or similar securities. Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.
27
Loans
Fair value of loans is estimated based on whether the loans are saleable into active markets:
|
• |
Loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of most of the Company’s loans acquired for sale at fair value and all of the loans at fair value held in VIEs, are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets: |
|
• |
For loans acquired for sale, the fair values are established using the loans’ contracted selling price or quoted market price or market price equivalent. |
|
• |
For the loans at fair value held in VIEs, the quoted indications of fair value of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trusts are used to derive fair values for the loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliated brokers based on comparable securities and validates the brokers’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Company believes are similar to the models and inputs used by other market participants. The Company adjusts the fair values received from brokers to include the fair value of MSRs attributable to the loans held by the Company included in the VIEs. |
|
• |
Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of previously sold loans that the Company repurchased pursuant to the representation and warranties it provided to the purchaser and distressed loans, are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets: |
|
• |
Fair value for loans acquired for sale categorized as “Level 3” assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status, property type, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds, loss severities or contracted selling price when applicable. |
|
• |
Fair value for distressed loans is estimated based on the expected resolution to be realized from the individual asset’s disposition strategy. When a cash flow projection is used to estimate the fair value of the resolution, those cash flows are discounted at annual rates up to 20%. |
Derivative and Credit Risk Transfer Strip Assets and Liabilities
CRT Derivatives
The Company categorizes CRT derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The fair value of CRT derivatives is based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliated brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the Recourse Obligations and the IO ownership interests. Together, the Recourse Obligation and the IO ownership interest comprise the CRT derivative. Fair value of the CRT derivative is derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the fair value of the certificates.
The Company assesses the fair values it receives from nonaffiliated brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of CRT derivatives are the discount rate, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT derivatives are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.

Weighted average inputs are based on fair value amounts of the CRT Agreements, except for remaining loss expectation which is based on the UPB of the loans in the reference pools. |
(2) |
Voluntary prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). |
(3) |
Involuntary prepayment speed is measured using Life Involuntary CPR. Negative involuntary prepayment speeds reflect the expectation for reinstatement to the reference pool of a portion of the loans that previously triggered contractual losses due to delinquency while under CARES Act forbearance upon their expected re-performance, as contractually provided for in certain CRT Agreements. |
(4) |
Remaining loss (recovery) expectation is measured as expected future contractual losses divided by the UPB of the reference loans. Negative remaining loss expectations reflect the expectation of contractual reversals of previously incurred contractual losses due to the expected re-performance of a portion of the loans that experienced delinquency while under CARES Act forbearance. |
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, the probability that the loan will be purchased under the commitment (the “pull-through rate”) and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive upon sale of the loan.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the estimated MSR attributed to the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in the IRLCs’ fair value. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLCs’ fair value, but also increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component that has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans acquired for sale in the consolidated statements of operations.

Hedging Derivatives
Fair value of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings, Net gains on loans acquired for sale, or Net loan servicing fees – from nonaffiliates – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk Transfer Strips
The Company categorizes CRT strips as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The fair value of CRT strips is based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliated brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trust holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the IO ownership interest and Recourse Obligation. Together, the IO ownership interest and the Recourse Obligation comprise the CRT strips.
Fair value of the CRT strips is derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the fair value of the certificates derived from indications provided by the nonaffiliated brokers. Through December 31, 2021, the Company applied adjustments to the fair value derived from these indications to account for contractual restrictions limiting PMT’s ability to sell certain of the certificates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the contractual restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell the certificates were removed. Therefore, the Company did not include adjustments relating to restrictions on the transfer of certificates in the fair value of the certificates as of March 31, 2022.
The Company assesses the indications of fair value it receives from nonaffiliated brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of the CRT strips are the discount rate, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT strips are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The fair value of MSRs is derived from the net positive cash flows associated with the servicing agreements. The Company receives a servicing fee based on the remaining UPB of the loans subject to the servicing agreements. The Company generally has the right to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and the Company is generally entitled to retain any placement fees earned on funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.
The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread, the prepayment speeds of the underlying loans and the annual per-loan cost to service the loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees – From nonaffiliates – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of operations.
MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when returns required by market participants (pricing spreads) increase, when mortgage interest rates decrease, or when annual per-loan cost of servicing increases. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through recognition of the change in fair value.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs at the time of initial recognition:

Through December 31, 2021, the Company applied pricing spreads to the forward rates implied by the United States Dollar London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the United States Treasury (“Treasury”) securities yield curve for purpose of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs. The change in reference rate did not have a significant effect on the Company’s estimates of fair value. |

Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayments. Equivalent average life is provided as supplementary information. |
The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular date; only account for the estimated effect of the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes in those inputs in relation to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of the models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made by the Company to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from either a broker’s price opinion, a full appraisal, or the price given in a pending contract of sale.
33
REO fair values are reviewed by PLS staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the indications of fair value. PLS staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the staff appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers obtain an additional appraisal to determine fair value. Recognized changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company records all derivative and CRT strip assets and liabilities at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period results of operations.
Derivative Activities
The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating, investing and financing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and the Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.
Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations include:
|
• |
IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase loans acquired for sale; and |
|
• |
CRT Agreements whereby the Company retained a Recourse Obligation relating to certain loans it sold into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations as part of the retention of IO ownership interests in such loans. |
The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. The Company bears price risk related to its mortgage production, servicing assets and MBS financing activities due to changes in market interest rates as discussed below:
|
• |
The Company is exposed to losses if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair value of MBS, IRLCs and loans acquired for sale to decrease. |
|
• |
The Company is exposed to losses if market mortgage interest rates decrease, because market interest rate decreases generally cause the fair value of MSRs to decrease. |
To manage the price risk resulting from these interest rate risks, the Company uses derivative financial instruments with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s inventory of loans acquired for sale, IRLCs, MSRs and MBS.
The Company records all derivative and CRT strip assets and liabilities at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income. The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting.
Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of IRLCs and loans acquired for sale are included in Cash flows from operating activities in Sale to nonaffiliates and repayment of loans acquired for sale at fair value. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of MSRs are included in Cash flows from investing activities.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement
One of the borrowing facilities secured by loans acquired for sale is in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of such loans and the sale of the resulting security. The commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.
The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount. The holdback amount is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.
Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement is summarized below:

The indentures relating to these issuances provide the Company with the option of extending the maturity dates of certain of the term notes under the conditions specified in the respective agreements. |
PMC finances mortgage servicing rights through the issuance of a Series 2017-VF1 Note dated December 20, 2017 (the "FMSR VFN") issued by another one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries and sold to institutional buyers under an agreement to repurchase. The FMSR VFN has a committed borrowing capacity of $700 million and matures on March 31, 2023.
On March 30, 2021, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, PMT ISSUER TRUST—FMSR, issued an aggregate principal amount of $350 million in secured term notes (the “2021-FT1 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2021-FT1 Notes are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and excess servicing spread relating to such MSRs that are financed pursuant to a structured finance transaction. The 2021-FT1 Notes bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.00% per year and will mature on March 25, 2026 or, if extended pursuant to the terms of the 2021-FT1 Notes indenture supplement on March 27, 2028. The 2021-FT1 Notes rank pari passu with the Series 2018-FT1 Notes described below and the FMSR VFN.
During March 2021, the Company, through PMC and PMH, terminated a loan and security agreement entered into on February 1, 2018, pursuant to which PMC and PMH could finance certain mortgage servicing rights (inclusive of any related excess servicing spread arising therefrom and transferred from PMC to PMH from time to time) relating to loans pooled into Freddie Mac securities, and entered into a similar borrowing arrangement with Citibank, N.A. The aggregate loan amount available under the loan and security agreement with Citibank, N.A. increased to $1 billion from $700 million, bears interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 3.36% per year, and will mature on June 30, 2022. Advances under the loan and security agreement are secured by MSRs relating to loans serviced for Freddie Mac guaranteed securities.
On April 25, 2018, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, PMT ISSUER TRUST-FMSR, issued an aggregate principal amount of $450 million in secured term notes (the “2018-FT1 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2018-FT1 Notes bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.35% per year. The 2018-FT1 Notes will mature on April 25, 2023 or, if extended pursuant to the terms of the 2018-FT1 Notes indenture supplement, April 25, 2025 (unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms). The 2018-FT1 Notes rank pari passu with the FMSR VFN pledged to Credit Suisse under an agreement to repurchase. The 2018-FT1 Notes and the FMSR VFN are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various proceedings, claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Cessation of the LIBOR Index
The Company is involved in both lending and financing transactions that use the LIBOR index to establish the applicable interest or dividend rates. It has been announced that this index will no longer be published. The Company services LIBOR-based adjustable rate mortgages for which the underlying mortgage notes incorporate fallback provisions. The Company also has certain debt agreements and preferred shares of beneficial interest that have not yet transitioned from LIBOR to a replacement index but contain replacement provisions related to the transition from LIBOR. The Company cannot anticipate whether the response of borrowers, note holders or preferred shareholders to the adoption of the replacement indices adopted by the Company will result in future losses to PMT.

Note 22—Share-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted an equity incentive plan which provides for the issuance of equity based awards based on PMT’s common shares that may be made by the Company to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PFSI, or their affiliates and to PCM, PFSI 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 PMT’s 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.
The Company's equity incentive plan allows for the grant of restricted and performance-based share unit awards.
52
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, canceled, 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 other employees of PFSI and its subsidiaries at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a
period.The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity:

Note 23—Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 205.9% with consolidated pretax income of $18.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) recognized a tax expense of $37.9 million on pretax income of $272.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The TRS income was primarily due to increases in MSR fair values. For the same period in 2021, the TRS recognized a tax expense of $19.4 million on pretax income of $88.1 million. The Company’s reported consolidated pretax income was $91.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is generally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2022, the valuation allowance was decreased to $6.8 million from the $34.1 million valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2021 as the result of GAAP income at the TRS for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.
53
The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, introduced a number of tax law changes which are generally taxpayer favorable and, in December 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act was signed into law. No material changes in our effective income tax rates resulted from either Act. While the CARES Act provides for carry back of losses from 2018, 2019 and 2020, the TRS does not have taxable income from prior years to which the losses could be carried back.
In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends.
Note 24—Earnings Per Common Share
The Company grants restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. Unvested share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method.
Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income reduced by preferred dividends and income attributable to the participating securities) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
As discussed in Note 2 ‒ Basis of Presentation and Accounting Change ‒ Accounting Change, PMC issued the Exchangeable Notes. The Exchangeable Notes include cash conversion options. Through December 31, 2021, based on the Company’s intention to cash settle the Exchangeable Notes, the effect of conversion of the Exchangeable Notes was excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per common share. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, which requires inclusion of the common shares issuable pursuant to conversion of the Exchangeable Notes in the Company’s diluted earnings per common share calculation when the effect of such inclusion is dilutive to earnings per common share.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Report to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PMT and its affiliates.
Our Company
We are a specialty finance company that invests primarily in mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. Our investment focus is on the mortgage-related assets that we create through our correspondent production activities, including mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), subordinate mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and credit risk transfer (“CRT”) arrangements, which include CRT Agreements and CRT strips that absorb credit losses on certain of the loans we sold. We also invest in Agency MBS and senior non-Agency MBS. We have also historically invested in distressed mortgage assets (distressed loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”)), which we have substantially liquidated.
We are externally managed by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on U.S. mortgage assets. Our loans and MSRs are serviced by PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”). PCM and PLS are both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), a publicly-traded mortgage banking and investment management company.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we purchased newly originated prime credit quality residential loans with fair values totaling $23.3 billion as compared to $53.2 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, in our correspondent production business. To the extent that we purchase loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Federal Housing Administration, or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration or U.S. Department of Agriculture, we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such loans, as PLS is a Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) approved issuer and we are not. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent aggregators that purchase both government and conventional loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS based on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of each loan that we sell to PLS under such arrangement, and earn interest income on the loan for the period we hold it before the sale to PLS. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we received sourcing fees totaling $1.3 million, relating to $12.7 billion in UPB of loans that we sold to PLS.
We operate our business in four segments: Correspondent production, Interest rate sensitive strategies, Credit sensitive strategies and our Corporate operations as described below.
57
Our Investment Activities
Correspondent Production
Our correspondent production activities involve the acquisition and sale of newly originated prime credit quality residential loans. Correspondent production serves as the source of our investments in MSRs, private label non-Agency securitizations, and, through 2020, CRT arrangements. Our correspondent production and resulting investment activity are summarized below:

Interest Rate Sensitive Investments
Our interest rate sensitive investments include:
|
• |
Mortgage servicing rights. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we received approximately $194.6 million of MSRs as proceeds from sales of loans acquired for sale. We held approximately $3.4 billion of MSRs at fair value at March 31, 2022. |
|
• |
REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities. We purchased approximately $661.8 million of MBS during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We held MBS with fair values totaling approximately $3.1 billion at March 31, 2022. |
Credit Sensitive Investments
CRT Arrangements
At present, we are no longer creating new CRT investments as the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) instructed the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) to gradually wind down new front-end lender risk share transactions such as CRT investments as of the end of 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recognized investment losses of approximately $35.4 million relating to our holdings of CRT securities. We held net CRT-related investments (comprised of deposits securing CRT arrangements, CRT derivatives, CRT strips and interest-only security payable) totaling approximately $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022.
Securities Backed by Loans Secured by Investment Properties
Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased or retained approximately $94.6 million of subordinate MBS backed by loans secured by investment properties sourced from the Company’s conventional correspondent production activities. The subordinate MBS provide us with a higher yield than senior securities. However, we retain credit risk in the subordinate MBS since they are the first securities to absorb credit losses relating to the underlying loans.
As the result of the Company’s consolidation of the variable interest entities that issued the subordinate MBS described in Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities – Subordinate Mortgage-Backed Securities to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we include loans underlying these and similar transactions with UPBs totaling approximately $1.8 billion on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
58
Taxation
We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet applicable REIT asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification.
A portion of our activities, including our correspondent production business, is conducted in our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we make 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.
We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Our evaluation considers, among other factors, taxable loss carryback availability, expectations of sufficient future taxable income, trends in earnings, existence of taxable income in recent years, the future reversal of temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented, if required. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which the related deferred tax assets become deductible.
Non-Cash Investment Income
A substantial portion of our net investment income is comprised of non-cash items, including fair value adjustments, recognition of the fair value of assets created and liabilities incurred in loan sale transactions and the capitalization and amortization of certain assets and liabilities. Because we have elected, or are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), to record certain of our financial assets (comprised of MBS, loans acquired for sale at fair value, loans at fair value and ESS), our derivatives and CRT strips, our MSRs, and our asset-backed financings and interest-only security payable at fair value, a substantial portion of the income or loss we record with respect to such assets and liabilities results from non-cash changes in fair value.
The amounts of non-cash investment (loss) income items included in net investment income are as follows:

Due to significant inflationary pressures, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to continue to raise interest rates through the year as well as reduce the federal government’s overall portfolio of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. These resulting mortgage interest rate increases are expected to drive a decline in the size of the mortgage origination market from an estimated $4.4 trillion in 2021 to a current forecast range from $2.6 trillion to $3.1 trillion for 2022 according to leading economists. These lower overall projected mortgage transaction volumes and higher interest rates are expected to drive a decrease in our mortgage production activities and increase competition in the mortgage production business year over year, while also leading to declines in prepayment speeds in our mortgage servicing portfolio from the elevated levels experienced in 2021.
Due to certain capital rules, the Government-Sponsored Entities (“GSEs”) have higher capital requirements to guarantee loans delivered by loan aggregators and may charge higher fees for third party originated loans that we aggregate and deliver to the GSEs as compared to individual loans delivered by third party mortgage lenders directly to the GSEs’ cash windows without the assistance of a loan aggregator. To the extent the GSEs increase the number of cash window purchases and sales for their own accounts, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
60
Our results of operations decreased by $90.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, reflecting the effect of declines in CRT-related investments valuation, gains on loans held for sale and loan origination fees, partially offset by the improved fair value performance of our MSR investments. The decrease in pretax results is summarized below:
|
• |
A $189.7 million decrease in net gains on our CRT arrangements as credit spreads widened due to macroeconomic uncertainty as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which reflected the continuing recovery during the prior period from the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on our investments in CRT arrangements. |
|
• |
An increase in net servicing fees of $254.1 million caused by positive fair value changes in our investment in MSRs and hedging results and a $115.4 million decrease in gains on MBS, due to sharply increasing interest rates, as well as an $11.2 million decrease in net interest expense in our interest rate sensitive strategies segment. |
|
• |
Decreases in both production volume and in our gain on sale margins during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, reflecting the effect of increasing interest rates on loan demand in our correspondent lending segment. |

Loan servicing fees relate to our MSRs which are primarily related to servicing we provide for loans included in Agency securitizations. These fees are contractually established at an annualized percentage of the UPB of the loans serviced and we collect these fees from borrower payments. Other loan servicing fees are comprised primarily of borrower-contracted fees such as late charges, reconveyance fees and fees charged to correspondent lenders for loans repaid by the borrower shortly after purchase.
61
The change in contractually-specified fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, is due primarily to increased servicing fees resulting from the growth in our loan servicing portfolio. The changes in other loan servicing fees for the same comparative period is due primarily to a decrease in the volume of fees charged to correspondent lenders for loans repaid shortly after purchase as the result of the significant volume of refinancing activity experienced in the first part of 2021.
We have elected to carry our servicing assets at fair value. Changes in fair value have two components: changes due to realization of the contractual servicing fees and changes due to changes in inputs used to estimate the fair value of such items. We endeavor to moderate the effects of changes in fair value primarily by entering into derivatives transactions.
Changes in fair value of MSRs and hedging results are summarized below:

Changes in realization of cash flows are influenced by changes in the level of servicing assets and liabilities and changes in estimates of remaining cash flows to be realized. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, realization of cash flows increased primarily due to the significant growth of our investment in MSRs as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs used in our valuation model during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 reflect the effects of expectations for slower future prepayments of the underlying loans as a result of increasing interest rates during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Hedging results reflect valuation losses attributable to the effects of interest rate increases on the fair value of the hedging instruments during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The loss from hedging activities decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the higher hedging cost as a result of market volatility during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
The decrease in loan servicing fees from PFSI reflects the increase in refinancing activity in our MSR portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 2021. We have an agreement with PFSI that requires that when PFSI refinances a loan for which we held the MSRs, we receive a recapture fee. The MSR recapture agreement is summarized in Note 4 ‒ Transactions with Related Parties – Operating Activities to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

The decrease in net gains on investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was caused primarily by increased losses from our investments in CRT arrangements and MBS.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recognized net valuation losses of $186.5 million, as compared to $71.1 million for the same period in 2021. The losses recognized reflect more significant increases in interest rates during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
63
Loans at fair value – Held in VIEs and Asset-Backed Financings at Fair Value
Loans at fair value held in VIEs and Asset-backed financings at fair value recorded a net loss of $7.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The net loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 reflects the effect of increasing interest rates during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

The performance of our investments in CRT arrangements during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 reflects credit spread widening (an increase in the interest rate demanded by investors for instruments over those that are considered “risk free”) for CRT securities in the credit markets. This contrasts with CRT investments’ gains during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which reflects a decrease in credit spread as the credit markets continued to recover from the dislocation experienced during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Our net gain on sale of loans includes our estimates of gains or losses we expect to realize upon the sale of mortgage loans we have committed to purchase but have not yet purchased or sold. Therefore, we recognize a substantial portion of our net gain on sale before we purchase the loans. This gain is reflected on our balance sheet as IRLC derivative assets and liabilities. We adjust the fair value of our IRLCs as the loan acquisition process progresses until we complete the acquisition or the commitment is canceled. Such adjustments are included in our gains on sale of loans acquired for sale. The fair value of our IRLCs become part of the carrying value of our loans when we complete the purchase of the loans. The methods and key inputs we use to measure the fair value of IRLCs are summarized in Note 7 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
66
The MSRs and liability for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates change as circumstances change, and changes in these estimates are recognized in our results of operations in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs significantly affect our results of operations.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Our methods to measure and update the measurements of our MSRs are detailed in Note 7 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties
We recognize a liability for losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties we provide to purchasers in our loan sales transactions. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
We recorded a provision for losses relating to representations and warranties relating to current loan sales of $1.3 million and $8.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the provision relating to current loan sales reflects the decrease of our loan sales volume.
In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer against credit losses attributable to the loans with indemnified defects. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent sellers that, in turn, had sold such loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of those repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.
Following is a summary of the indemnification and repurchase activity of the loans subject to representations and warranties:

The losses on representations and warranties we have recorded to date have been moderated by our ability to recover most of the losses inherent in the repurchased loans from the correspondent sellers. As the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, as the loans sold season, as our investors’ and guarantors’ loss mitigation strategies change and as our correspondent sellers’ ability and willingness to repurchase loans change, we expect that the level of repurchase activity and associated losses may increase.
The method we use to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of our estimates of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, severity of loss in the event of default and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis.
The amount of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor loss mitigation strategies, our ability to recover any losses inherent in the repurchased loan from the correspondent seller and other external conditions that change over the lives of the underlying loans. We may be required to incur losses related to such representations and warranties for several periods after the loans are sold or liquidated.
We record adjustments to our liability for losses on representations and warranties as economic fundamentals change, as investor and Agency evaluations of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change and as economic conditions affect our correspondent sellers’ ability or willingness to fulfill their recourse obligations to us. Such adjustments may be material to our financial position and results of operations in future periods.
Adjustments to our liability for representations and warranties are included as a component of our Net gains on loans acquired for sale at fair value. We recorded a $1.2 million reduction in liability for representations and warranties during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 due to the effects of certain loans reaching specified performance histories identified by the Agencies as sufficient to limit repurchase claims relating to such loans.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent sellers relating to our purchase of loans from those sellers. The decrease in fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, reflects a decrease in our purchases of loans with delivery fees.

|
The decrease in net interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is due to:
|
• |
A decrease in the interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for the Agency securitizations, reflecting decreased prepayment activity in our MSR portfolio as a result of increasing interest rates reducing the incentive of borrowers to refinance their loans. |
|
• |
An increase in the yields we earn on our investments in MBS and loans acquired for sale arising from fair value decreases and our acquisition of higher coupon Agency pass through securities and subordinate credit securities that was compounded by a decrease in the cost of repurchase agreements that finance these investments and a portion of our investments in CRT Agreements, owing to a change in the mix of assets financed under repurchase agreements. |

Expenses decreased $46.6 million, or 42%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily due to reduced fees relating to fulfillment activities performed by PFSI on our behalf.

Loan servicing fees increased by $2.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. We incur loan servicing fees primarily in support of our MSR portfolio. The increase in loan servicing fees is due to growth in our portfolio of MSRs.
Loan Fulfillment Fees
Loan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PLS for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. Fulfillment fees decreased $44.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan production volume.

Management fees decreased by $332,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This decrease reflects the decrease in our average shareholders’ equity during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Loan origination
Loan origination expenses decreased $6.5 million, or 69%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily reflecting a decrease in our loan originations produced through our correspondent production activities.
Income Taxes
We have elected to treat PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”) as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to us. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 205.9% with consolidated pretax income of $18.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) recognized a tax expense of $37.9 million on pretax income of $272.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The TRS income was primarily due to fair market increases in MSR values. For the same period in 2021, the TRS recognized tax expense of $19.4 million on pretax income of $88.1 million, while the Company’s reported consolidated pretax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $91.0 million. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is generally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2022, the valuation allowance was decreased to $6.8 million from the $34.1 million valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2021 as the result of a GAAP income at the TRS for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.
The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, introduced a number of tax law changes which are generally taxpayer favorable and in December 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act was signed into law. No material changes in our effective income tax rates resulted from either Act. While the CARES Act provides for carry back of losses from 2018, 2019 and 2020, the TRS does not have taxable income from prior years to which the losses could be carried back.
In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends.

Total assets decreased by approximately $1.4 billion, or 10%, during the period from December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease of $2.5 billion in Loans acquired for sale at fair value and $168.0 million in Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, partially offset by increases in MSRs of $498.3 million, MBS of $403.6 million and loans at fair value of $257.8 million.

Agency eligibility refers to the eligibility of loans for sale to Agencies. The Company sells or finances a portion of its Agency-eligible loan production to other investors. |

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we purchased for sale $23.3 billion in fair value of correspondent production loans as compared to $53.2 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in loan production reflects the effect of decreased loan demand as a result of the increasing interest rate environment during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Our acquisitions during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were financed through the use of a combination of proceeds from borrowings and liquidations of existing investments. We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from our business activities, existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash of $128.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as discussed below.
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.7 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash used in our operating activities of $1.9 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Cash flows from operating activities are most influenced by cash flows from loans acquired for sale as shown below:

Cash flows from loans acquired for sale primarily reflect changes in the level of production inventory from the beginning to end of the periods presented. Our inventory of loans held for sale decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Investing activities
Net cash used in our investing activities was $196.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net cash provided by our investing activities of $930.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to purchases of our investments in MBS in excess of sales and repayments of such assets partially offset by repayments from our investments in CRT arrangements and decreases in margin deposits.
Financing activities
Net cash used in our financing activities was $1.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net cash provided by our financing activities of $973.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This change reflects reduced financing requirements relating to loans acquired for sale.
As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continually evaluates and pursues additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity. We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash earnings, are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment requirements. However, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including the purchase of loans from correspondent sellers, our operating expenses and, when applicable, retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt and derivatives positions), make investments as our Manager identifies them, pursue our share repurchase program and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities.
77
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash flows from our investment portfolio, including cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, liquidation of existing investments and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. When we finance a particular asset, the amount borrowed is less than the asset’s fair value and we must provide the cash in the amount of such difference. Our ability to continue making investments is dependent on our ability to invest the cash representing such difference.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, liquidity and capital resources remains uncertain and difficult to predict. For further discussion of this and other risks applicable to us, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Debt Financing
Our current debt financing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. We make collateralized borrowings in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, loan participation purchase and sale agreements and notes payable, including secured term financing for our MSRs and our CRT arrangements which has allowed us to more closely match the term of our borrowings to the expected lives of the assets securing those borrowings.

Sales of Assets Under Agreements to Repurchase
Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the assets at a later date. Following is a summary of the activities in our repurchase agreements financing:

|
The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is primarily due to timing of loan purchases and sales in our correspondent production business. The total facility size of our assets sold under agreements to repurchase was approximately $12.0 billion at March 31, 2022.
Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to either renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.
78
As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements, and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements have short-term maturities:
|
• |
The transactions relating to loans and REO under agreements to repurchase generally provide for terms of approximately one to two years; |
|
• |
The transactions relating to loans under mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements provide for terms of approximately one year; and |
|
• |
The transactions relating to assets under notes payable provide for terms ranging from two to five years. |
Debt Covenants
Our debt financing agreements require us and certain of our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants. As of the filing of this Report, these financial covenants include the following:
|
• |
a minimum of $75 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among the Company and/or our subsidiaries; a minimum of $75 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among our Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries; a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents between PMC and PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”); a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at PMC; and a minimum of $10 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at PMH; |
|
• |
a minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $1.25 billion; a minimum tangible net worth for our Operating Partnership of $1.25 billion; a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million; and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $300 million; |
|
• |
a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 10:1 for PMC and PMH and 7:1 for the Company and our Operating Partnership; and |
|
• |
at least two warehouse or repurchase facilities that finance amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements. |
Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur and impact our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
PLS is also subject to various financial covenants, both as a borrower under its own financing arrangements and as our servicer under certain of our debt financing agreements. The most significant of these financial covenants currently include the following:
|
• |
a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $100 million; |
|
• |
a minimum tangible net worth of $1.25 billion; |
|
• |
a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and |
|
• |
at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets that are similar to those being financed under certain of our existing secured financing agreements. |
Many of our debt financing agreements contain a condition precedent to obtaining additional funding that requires us to maintain positive net income for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive quarters, or other similar measures. For the first quarter of 2022, we have obtained waivers of this requirement from all of the applicable lenders. We may be required to obtain additional waivers in the future if this condition precedent is not met.
Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement, although in some instances we may agree with the lender upon certain thresholds (in dollar amounts or percentages based on the market value of the assets) that must be exceeded before a margin deficit will arise. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
79
Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements
In addition to the financial covenants imposed upon us and PLS under our debt financing agreements, we and/or PLS, as applicable, are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by FHFA for Agency sellers/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of FHFA, and for approved single-family issuers in the case of Ginnie Mae, as summarized below:
|
• |
A minimum net worth of a base of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential loans serviced; |
|
• |
A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%; |
|
• |
A liquidity requirement equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of the amount by which total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB (reduced by 70% of the UPB of nonperforming Agency loans that are in COVID-19 payment forbearance and were current when they entered such forbearance) exceeds 6% of the applicable Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines; |
|
• |
In the case of PLS, liquidity equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and |
|
• |
In the case of PLS, net worth equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations. |
Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our business, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
All debt financing arrangements that matured between March 31, 2022 and the date of this Report have been renewed, extended or replaced.
The amount at risk (the fair value of the assets pledged plus the related margin deposit, less the amount advanced by the counterparty and accrued interest) relating to our assets sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized by counterparty below as of March 31, 2022:

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and
80
expenses during the reporting period. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to our fair value estimates.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk.
Our primary trading asset is our inventory of loans acquired for sale. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable recently-originated loans. Our other market-risk assets are a substantial portion of our investments and are primarily comprised of MSRs, ESS, CRT arrangements and MBS. We believe that the fair values of MSRs, ESS and MBS also respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable loans or yields on MBS. Changes in interest rates are reflected in the prepayment speeds underlying these investments and in the pricing spread (an element of the discount rate) used in their valuation. We believe that the primary market risks to the fair values of our investment in CRT arrangements are changes in market credit spreads and the fair value of the real estate securing the loans underlying such arrangements.
The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

SECTION 1.Amendments to the Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement.
(a)Section 2 of the Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in proper alphabetical order:
“Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR” means an interest rate per annum equal to (i) the Daily Simple SOFR, plus (ii) the applicable Benchmark Adjustment. The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for calculating the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR.
“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with conventions (including, without limitation, a lookback) established by the Administrative Agent in its sole and good faith discretion; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines that any such convention is not administratively, operationally, or technically feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its sole and good faith discretion.
“Benchmark Adjustment” means, for any day, the spread adjustment for such Interest Accrual Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the tenor of 1 month. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Adjustment” means, for any day, the value as reported on the display designated as “YUS0001M” on Bloomberg, or such other display as may replace “YUS0001M.”
“Benchmark Administration Changes” means, with respect to the Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement Rate), any technical, administrative or operational changes (including without limitation changes to the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, length of lookback periods, and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the sole and good faith discretion of Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).
“Benchmark Replacement Rate” means with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected in the sole and good faith discretion of Administrative Agent, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
3
determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated repurchase facilities and (ii) the related Benchmark Administration Changes; provided that, no such Benchmark Replacement Rate as so determined would be less than 0%.
(b)The Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Benchmark,” “Benchmark Transition Event” and “Note Interest Rate” from Section 2 thereof in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
“Benchmark” means, with respect to any date of determination, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or, if applicable, a Benchmark Replacement Rate. It is understood that the Benchmark shall be adjusted on a daily basis; provided, that, Benchmark for the three (3) Business Days prior to the related Payment Date shall be fixed at Benchmark for the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the related Payment Date.
“Benchmark Transition Event” means a determination by Administrative Agent in its sole and good faith discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark, (ii) the applicable Benchmark is permanently or indefinitely no longer in existence, (iii) continued implementation of the Benchmark is no longer administratively feasible or no significant market practice for the administration of the Benchmark exists, (iv) the Benchmark will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Noteholder of purchasing or maintaining Note (including increases in the balance thereof) going forward or (v) the administrator of the applicable Benchmark or a Relevant Governmental Body having jurisdiction over Noteholder or Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans or other extensions of credit.
“Note Interest Rate” means, for the Series 2017-VF1 Notes, with respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the Benchmark (as determined by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) 0.50% plus (b) the Margin.
(c)Section 2 of the Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Benchmark Determination Date,” “Benchmark Rate,” “Benchmark Reference Agreement,” “Benchmark Reference Time,” “Benchmark Replacement,” “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment,” “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes,” “Benchmark Replacement Date,” “Compounded SOFR,” “Corresponding Tenor,” “Designated Transaction Representative,” “Early Opt-in Effective Date,” “Early Opt-in Election,” “ISDA Definition,” “ISDA Fallback Adjustment,” “ISDA Fallback Rate,” “LIBOR,” “LIBOR Index Rate,” “LIBOR01 Page,” “London Banking Day” “Term SOFR” and “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” in their entirety.
(d)Section 8 of the Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
Section 8.Determination of Note Interest Rate and Benchmark.
(a)Two (2) Business Days immediately preceding the related Payment Date, the Administrative Agent will provide to the Calculation Agent the Benchmark for each day of the related Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2017-VF1 Notes on the basis of the procedures specified in the definition of Benchmark.
4
(b)The Calculation Agent shall calculate the Note Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 2017-VF1 Notes on each Payment Date, and include a report of such amount in the related Payment Date Report.
(c)The establishment of the Benchmark by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate and the Interest Payment Amount on the Series 2017-VF1 Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
(d)For purposes of calculating the Required Reserve Amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement, the “Pricing Rate” with respect to any “MRA Payment Date” thereunder will be calculated using the Benchmark as reported by the Administrative Agent for the immediately preceding Payment Date.
(e)Section 15 of the Series 2017-VF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
Section 15.Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture Supplement is executed and delivered by WSFS, not individually or personally but solely as owner trustee of the Issuer under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings, obligations and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings, obligations and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only, and is binding only on, the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant or obligation of the Issuer, either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has made and will make no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Indenture Supplement and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness, indemnities or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the performance, breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Documents, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.
SECTION 2.No Note Rating Agency. As of the date hereof and prior to the execution of this Amendment, there are no Classes or Series of Outstanding Notes rated by any Note Rating Agency.
SECTION 3.Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective upon (i) the execution and delivery of this Amendment by all parties hereto and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Trust Agreement.
SECTION 4.Consent, Acknowledgment and Waiver. By execution of this Amendment, each of CSCIB and Citi, in its capacity as Noteholder of the Outstanding Notes, hereby consents to this Amendment. The Noteholders certify that together, they are the sole
