Undergraduate and graduate enrollments at public and private not-for-profit four-year institutions increased by approximately 11 percent from Academic Years (“AYs”) 2003-2004 to 2007-2008. Post-secondary enrollment increased considerably during the recession of 2007-2009, especially in areas most affected by high unemployment. Enrollment has been stable post-recession. According to ED’s projections released in February 2014, the high school graduate population is projected to remain relatively flat from 2013 to 2022.
2
Based on these projections and recent trends, we expect modest enrollment growth in the next several years.

Average published tuition and fees (exclusive of room and board) at four-year public and private not-for-profit institutions increased at compound annual growth rates of 6.0 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively, between AYs 2004-2005 through 2014-2015. Growth rates have been more modest the last two academic years, with these average published tuition and fees at public and private four-year not-for-profit institutions increasing 2.8 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively, between AYs 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 and 2.9 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively, between AYs 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.

Tuition and fees are likely to continue to grow at the more modest rates of recent years.

Borrowing from federal education loan programs increased at a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent between AY 2003-2004 and 2011-2012. Federal borrowing increased considerably during the recession with borrowing increasing 26 percent between AYs 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 alone. A major driver of this activity was that in AY 2007-2008, the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005 increased annual Stafford loan limits for the first time since 1992 and introduced the Graduate PLUS loan. In response to the financial crisis in AY 2008-2009, The Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 increased the unsubsidized Stafford loan limits for undergraduate students again by $2,000. Federal education loan program borrowing continued to increase through AY 2011-2012 but declined by 4 percent in AY 2012-2013 and by another 7 percent in AY 2013-2014. We believe these declines are principally driven by enrollment declines in the for-profit schools sector.
4
Between AYs 2003-2004 and 2013-2014, federal grants increased 186 percent to $48.9 billion. As household balance sheets continue to improve, families will be better able to meet expected increases in tuition costs.

This increase in federal subsidies had a significant impact on the market for Private Education Loans. Annual originations peaked at $21.1 billion in AY 2007-2008 and declined to $6.0 billion in AY 2010-2011. Contributing to the decline in the market for Private Education Loans was a significant tightening of underwriting standards by Private Education Loan providers, including Sallie Mae. Private Education Loan originations increased to an estimated $8.4 billion in AY 2013-2014, up 6.0 percent over the previous year.

Using data from the College Board, Measure One
8
and the federal government, we estimate that total spending on higher education was $397 billion in the AY 2013-2014, up from $310 billion in the AY 2008-2009. Private Education Loans represent just 2 percent of total spending on higher education. Modest growth in total spending can lead to meaningful increases in Private Education Loans in the absence of growth in other sources of funding.

Continue to make significant changes and enhancements to our compliance management system and program and related consumer protection processes and procedures. Our redesigned SCRA processing processes and procedures have now received the approval of the DOJ. In 2014, we engaged a third-party firm to conduct independent audits of certain key consumer protection processes and procedures, including our compliance management system, receiving no high risk findings. In 2015, the third-party firm will conduct additional independent audits over the remainder of those processes and procedures.
|
•
|
In 2015 we will further enhance our internal controls over financial reporting through adoption of the COSO 2013 framework.

|
Net interest income increased by $116 million primarily due to a $1.6 billion increase in average Private Education Loans outstanding and a 20 basis point increase in net interest margin. Net interest margin increased 20 basis points primarily as a result of an increase in the proportion of higher yielding Private Education Loans in our loan portfolio.
|
•
|
Provisions for loan losses increased $16 million compared with the year-ago period primarily as a result of a $13 million increase in charge-offs during 2014, an increase in the amount of troubled debt restructurings entered into during 2014 for which we provide for life of loan losses, an increase in the percentage of loans in full principal and interest repayment and the effect of fewer loan sales. These amounts were partially offset by a $14 million benefit from the net effect of a change in our loss emergence period from two years to one year and a change in our charge-off policy that was recorded in the second quarter of 2014.
|
•
|
Gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $76 million. In 2014, we sold $1.9 billion of loans through Private Education Loan sales and a securitization transaction with third parties. As a result, we recorded gains of $121 million. In 2013, we recorded $197 million in gains from the sale of $2.4 billion of loans to an entity that is now a subsidiary of Navient. Gains on sales of loans, net, were higher in the year-ago period as a result of a larger volume of loans sold and those loans were sold to and entity that is now a subsidiary of Navient at a higher price.
|
•
|
Gains on sales of securities, net decreased $64 million in 2014 compared with 2013 because there were no sales in 2014 and a $585 million sale of securities in 2013. The securities sold in 2013 were ABS backed by FFELP Loans and were originally contributed by the Company to the Bank in 2008.
|
•
|
Gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities, net, resulted in a net loss of $4 million in 2014 compared with a gain of $1 million in the year-ago period. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rates and whether the derivative qualified for hedge accounting treatment. In 2014, we had more derivatives used to economically hedge risk that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment than we did in the year-ago period.
|
•
|
Operating expenses were $275 million compared with $270 million in the year-ago period. Operating expenses increased in 2014 due to increased servicing and marketing costs as well as increased personnel and other costs related to being a stand-alone company. In addition, in 2013 we recorded an $11 million reserve for estimated remediation costs relating to the 2014 FDIC order. In 2014, we reversed approximately $8 million of that reserve based upon the final determination of the Bank’s liability.
|
•
|
Restructuring and other reorganization expenses were $38 million compared with $1 million in the year-ago period. The increase is primarily the result of costs related to the Spin-Off.
|
•
|
The increase in 2014's effective tax rate to 41.9 percent from 38.2 percent in the year-ago period was primarily the result of additional reserves related to uncertain tax positions and additional state tax expense as a result of the Spin-Off.
|
•
|
Net interest income increased by $54 million primarily due to a $0.6 billion increase in average Private Education Loans outstanding and an increase of $0.6 billion in average FFELP loans outstanding. This was offset by a 48 basis point decline in the net interest margin. The decline in the net interest margin was primarily a result of an increase the proportion of lower yielding FFELP loans in our loan portfolio and an increase in the average amount of cash held, which has a negative effect on our net interest margin.
|
•
|
Gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $39 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold $2.4 billion of loans to an entity that is now a subsidiary of Navient. As a result, we recorded gains of $197 million. In the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded $235 million in gains from the sale of $2.6 billion of loans to Navient.
|
•
|
Gains on sales of securities, net, increased $64 million as a result of a $585 million sale of securities in 2013. There were no security sales in 2012.
|
•
|
Operating expenses were $270 million in 2013 compared with $254 million in 2012. Operating expenses increased in 2013 due to increased servicing and marketing costs as well as an $11 million reserve for estimated remediation costs relating to the 2014 FDIC order. In 2012 we recorded a $9 million write-down of intangible assets.
|
•
|
The increase in 2013 of the effective tax rate to 38.2 percent from 36.9 percent in the prior year period was primarily the result of additional state tax expense.

Changes in income and expense due to both rate and volume have been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. The changes in income and expense are calculated independently for each line in the table. The totals for the rate and volume columns are not the sum of the individual lines.

Deferment includes customers who have returned to school or are engaged in other permitted educational activities and are not yet required to make payments on their loans, e.g., residency periods for medical students or a grace period for bar exam preparation.
|
(2)
|
Loans for customers who have requested extension of grace period generally during employment transition or who have temporarily ceased making full payments due to hardship or other factors, consistent with established loan program servicing policies and procedures.
|
(3)
|
The period of delinquency is based on the number of days scheduled payments are contractually past due.

Prior to the Spin-Off, Private Education Loans were sold to an entity that is now a subsidiary of Navient, prior to being charged off. Therefore, many of our historical credit indicators and period-over-period trends are not indicative of future performance. Because we now retain more delinquent loans, we believe it could take up to two years from now before our credit performance indicators provide meaningful period-over-period comparisons.

Derivatives
- When determining the fair value of derivatives, we take into account counterparty credit risk for positions where we are exposed to the counterparty on a net basis by assessing exposure net of collateral held. The net exposure for each counterparty is adjusted based on market information available for that specific counterparty, including spreads from credit default swaps. Additionally, when the counterparty has exposure to us related to our derivatives, we fully collateralize the exposure, minimizing the adjustment necessary to the derivative valuations for our own credit risk. A major indicator of market inactivity is the widening of the bid/ask spread in these markets. In general, the widening of counterparty credit spreads and reduced liquidity for derivative instruments as indicated by wider bid/ask spreads will reduce the fair value of derivatives.

Education Loans
- Our Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans are accounted for at cost or at the lower of cost or fair value if the loan is held-for-sale. The fair values of our student loans are disclosed in Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements.” For both Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans accounted for at cost, fair value is determined by modeling loan level cash flows using stated terms of the assets and internally developed assumptions to determine aggregate portfolio yield, net present value and average life. The significant assumptions used to project cash flows are prepayment speeds, default rates, cost of funds, the amount funded by deposits versus equity, and required return on equity. Significant inputs into the models are not generally market-observable. They are either derived internally through a combination of historical experience and management’s expectation of future performance (in the case of prepayment speeds, default rates, and capital assumptions) or are obtained through external broker quotes (as in the case of cost of funds). When possible, market transactions are used to validate the model and, when appropriate, the model is calibrated to these market transactions.

At the time of this filing, the Bank remains subject to a Consent Order, Order to Pay Restitution and Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty dated May 13, 2014 issued by the 2014 FDIC Order. The 2014 FDIC Order replaces a prior cease and desist order jointly issued in August 2008 by the FDIC and the UDFI which was terminated on July 15, 2014. Specifically, on May 13, 2014, the Bank reached settlements with the FDIC and the DOJ regarding disclosures and assessments of certain late fees, as well as compliance with the SCRA. The DOJ Order was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on September 29, 2014. Under the FDIC’s 2014 Order, the Bank agreed to pay
$3.3 million
in fines and oversee the refund of up to
$30 million
in late fees assessed on loans owned or originated by the Bank since its inception in November 2005. Navient is responsible for funding all liabilities, restitution and compensation under orders such as these, other than fines directly levied against the Bank.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
|
|
•
|
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. The types of financial instruments included in level 1 are highly liquid instruments with quoted prices.
|
•
|
Level 2 — Inputs from active markets, other than quoted prices for identical instruments, are used to determine fair value. Significant inputs are directly observable from active markets for substantially the full term of the asset or liability being valued.
|
•
|
Level 3 — Pricing inputs significant to the valuation are unobservable. Inputs are developed based on the best information available. However, significant judgment is required by us in developing the inputs.

Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, Navient has agreed to indemnify us for

$224 million
. In addition, Navient has agreed to indemnify us for tax assessments incurred related to identified uncertain tax positions taken prior to the date of the Spin-Off. At December 31, 2014, we have recorded a receivable of
$16 million
related to this indemnification.

At the time of this filing, the Bank remains subject to a Consent Order, Order to Pay Restitution and Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty dated May 13, 2014 issued by the FDIC (the “2014 FDIC Order”). The 2014 FDIC Order replaces a prior cease and desist order jointly issued in August 2008 by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions (“UDFI”) which was terminated on July 15, 2014. Specifically, on May 13, 2014, the Bank reached settlements with the FDIC and the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) regarding disclosures and assessments of certain late fees, as well as compliance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”). The DOJ Order was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on September 29, 2014. Under the FDIC’s 2014 Order, the Bank agreed to pay
$3.3 million
in fines and oversee the refund of up to
$30 million
in late fees assessed on loans owned or originated by the Bank since its inception in November 2005. Navient is responsible for funding all liabilities, restitution and compensation under orders such as these, other than fines directly levied against the Bank.

LIBOR will be the offered rate per annum for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such period, as that rate appears on Moneyline Telerate Page (as defined below) 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the second London and New York Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend Period.
|
•
|
If the rate described above does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the second London and New York Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend Period, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent: three-month deposits in U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such Dividend Period, and in a Representative Amount (as defined below). The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR for the second London and New York Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.
|
•
|
If fewer than two quotations are provided as described above, LIBOR for the second London and New York Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second London and New York Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend Period, by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent: three-month loans of U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such Dividend Period, and in a Representative Amount.
|
•
|
If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described above, LIBOR for the new Dividend Period will be LIBOR in effect for the prior Dividend Period.

(1) For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent income (loss) before income tax expense plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest expensed and capitalized plus one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest factor) of rents, net of income from subleases.
|
(2) Due to a pre-tax loss from operations of $122,669 for the year ended December 31, 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate $122,669 million of additional earnings in the year ended December 31, 2010 for the ratio coverage to equal 1:1.
