SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

●

descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services;

●

forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and prepayment rates;

●

discussions of our expectations regarding various macroeconomic factors, including variability in the economy or the impact of current and future regulations and legislation on our business; 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 several 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 21, 2024 and in our other SEC filings.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:

●

interest rate changes;

●

difficulties inherent in adjusting the size of our operations to reflect changes in business levels;

●

maintaining sufficient capital and liquidity and compliance with financial covenants;

●

our substantial amount of indebtedness;

●

increases in the number of loan delinquencies and defaults;

●

failure to modify, resell or refinance early buyout loans or defaults of early buyout loans beyond our expectations;

●

our reliance on PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) as a significant contributor to our mortgage banking business;

●

our obligation to indemnify third-party purchasers or repurchase loans if loans that we originate, acquire, service or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

●

our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents;

our exposure to counterparties that are unwilling or unable to honor contractual obligations, including their obligation to indemnify us or repurchase defective mortgage loans;

●

our ability to realize the anticipated benefit of potential future acquisitions of mortgage servicing rights;

●

our obligation to indemnify PMT if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

●

decreases in the returns on the assets that we select and manage for PMT, and our resulting management and incentive fees;

●

the extensive amount of regulation applicable to our investment management segment;

Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

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

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of income that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company held no restricted cash at the end of periods presented. Cash and restricted cash at January 1, 2023, included $3,000 in tenant security deposits relating to rental properties owned by PMT and managed by the Company. Tenant security deposits were included in Other assets.

Table of Contents

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During 2023, the FASB issued two Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) aimed at increasing the amount of detail provided to financial statement users in certain existing disclosures. The ASUs do not require changes to the Company’s accounting. The ASUs are discussed below:

Segment Disclosures

The FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), that is intended to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The key amendments will require that the Company supplement its existing disclosures to include disclosure of:

●

significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; and

●

an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

The Company will be required to apply the reporting specified by ASU 2023-07 in annual periods beginning with its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and for quarterly periods ended thereafter.

Income Tax Disclosures

The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), that is intended to enhance the level of detail and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosures of:

●

Reconciliation of the expected tax at the applicable statutory federal income tax rate to the reported tax in a tabular format, using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items of five percent or greater of the expected tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction; and

●

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, broken out between federal and state and local income taxes. Payments to individual jurisdictions representing five percent or more of the total income tax payments must also be separately disclosed.

The disclosures specified by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted.

Note 3—Concentration of Risk

A portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of gains on loans held for sale, loan origination and fulfillment fees, loan servicing fees, management fees, change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT, and expense allocations charged to PMT) totaled 8% and 11% of total net revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 9% and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also purchased 82% and 84% of its loan production from PMT during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 82% and 84% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company maintains cash and short-term investment balances at financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should one or more of the financial institutions at which the Company’s deposits are maintained fail, there is no guarantee as to the extent that the Company would recover the funds deposited, whether through FDIC coverage or otherwise, or the timing of any recovery.

Note 4—Variable Interest Entities

The Company entered into securitization transactions in which variable interest entities (“VIEs”) may issue variable funding notes (VFNs”) and term debt backed by beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae MSRs. The Company is the holder of the VFNs and acts as guarantor of the VFNs and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder of VFNs and guarantor of both the VFNs and term debt, it holds the variable interest in the VIEs. Therefore, PFSI consolidates the VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value, the VFNs that the Company sells under agreements to repurchase are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, and the term debt is included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This financing is detailed in Note 14 – Short-Term Debt and Note 15 – Long Term Debt.

Operating Activities

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and MSR Recapture

Loan Sales

The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. The Company has typically utilized the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans, as well as prime jumbo residential mortgage loans.

MSR Recapture

Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, if the Company refinances (recaptures) mortgage loans for which PMT holds the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to:

●

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%.

Table of Contents

The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all recaptured mortgage loans, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month. The Company has agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of at least 15%.

The MSR recapture agreement expires on June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

Fulfillment Services

The Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage banking services agreement, the fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:

●

the number of loan commitments issued 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 loan commitments per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus

●

$315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans that are sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac up to and including 16,500 loans per quarter and $195 multiplied by the number of such purchased loans in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus

●

$750 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are sold or securitized to parties other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae loans and certain Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans acquired by PLS.

Sourcing Fees

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking services agreement, the Company purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less any administrative fees paid by the correspondent to PMT plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from one to two basis points of the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of the loan, generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company. The Company may also acquire conventional loans from PMT on the same terms upon mutual agreement between PMT and the Company.

While the Company purchases these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT, where the Company has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of PMT.

The mortgage banking services agreement expires on June 30, 2025, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

Loan Servicing

The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company provides subservicing for PMT’s MSRs and loans in its prime and special servicing (loans purchased by PMT with credit deterioration) portfolios. The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company is also entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT.

Prime Servicing

●

The base servicing fees for prime loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

●

To the extent that prime loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. The Company is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and a percentage of late charges.

Special Servicing

●

The base servicing fee rates for special servicing 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. The Company also receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each special servicing loan.

●

The Company receives activity-based fees for modifications, foreclosures and liquidations that it facilitates with respect to special servicing loans, as well as other market-based refinancing and loan disposition fees.

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.

Investment Management Activities

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs in conformity with PMT’s investment policies for which PFSI collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:

●

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

●

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

●

The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of:

●

10% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus

●

15% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on PMT’s “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus

●

20% of the amount by which PMT’s “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 PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

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

“High watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

Table of Contents

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

In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Following is a summary of the base management and performance incentive fees earned from PMT:

Expense Reimbursement

Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. With respect to the allocation of the Company’s and its affiliates’ personnel compensation, the Company is reimbursed $165,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by the Company or its affiliates.

PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of the rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses are allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets owned or managed by the Company as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.

Note 6—Loan Sales and Servicing Activities

The Company originates or purchases and sells loans in the secondary mortgage market without recourse for credit losses. However, the Company maintains continuing involvement with the loans in the form of servicing arrangements and the liability under representations and warranties it makes to purchasers and insurers of the loans.

The following table summarizes cash flows between the Company and transferees as a result of the sale of loans in transactions where the Company maintains continuing involvement with the loans as servicer:

Servicing fees received	$	348,730	$	282,315	$	684,978	$	550,738

The Company is contractually responsible for making the payments required to protect the loans’ beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans and may, therefore, be required to advance amounts in excess of insurer or guarantor reimbursement limits. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance on the servicing advances for these amounts in excess of amounts that are expected to ultimately be recovered from the loans’ insurers, guarantors, or beneficial interest holders.

The servicing advance valuation allowance is estimated based on relevant qualitative and quantitative information about past events, including historical collection and loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectable amounts. The provision for losses on servicing advances is included in Servicing expense in the consolidated statements of income. Servicing advances are written off when they are deemed unrecoverable.

The following is a summary of the allowance for losses on servicing advances:

Note 7—Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the significant inputs used to determine the fair values. These levels are:

●

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2—Prices determined 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.

Table of Contents

●

Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

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 its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are carried at amortized cost.

These liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these liabilities other than term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.

The Company estimates the fair value of the term notes, term loans and the Unsecured senior notes using indications of fair value provided by non-affiliate brokers, pricing services and internal estimates of fair value. The fair values and carrying values of these liabilities are summarized below:


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Fair value		Carrying value		Fair value		Carrying value

Valuation Governance

Most of the Company’s non-cash financial assets, and all of its derivatives, MSRs and MSLs, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and derivatives and all of its MSRs and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair values of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff within its capital markets group and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight.

With respect to “Level 3” valuations other than IRLCs, the capital markets valuation staff group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees the valuations. Capital markets valuation staff monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results as well as changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuations and any changes in model methods and inputs, to PFSI’s senior management valuation committee. The Company’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s chief financial, risk, and capital markets officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, risk management and capital markets staffs.

To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the capital markets valuation staff presents an analysis of the effect on the valuations of changes to the significant inputs to the models and, for MSRs, comparisons of its estimates of fair value and of key inputs to those procured from nonaffiliated brokers and published surveys.

The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by its capital markets risk management staff and is reviewed by its capital markets operations staff.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:

Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company categorizes principal-only stripped securities as “Level 2” fair value financial instruments. Fair values of these securities are established based on quoted market prices for these or similar securities.

Loans Held for Sale

Most of the Company’s loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of “Level 2” fair value loans are determined using their contracted selling prices or quoted market prices or market price equivalents.

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

●

Early buy out (“EBO”) loans. EBO loans are government guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase a government guaranteed or insured loan from a Ginnie Mae security arises as the result of the loan being at least three months delinquent on the date of purchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such a loan may be resold to an investor and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent it becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security.

Table of Contents

A loan becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae security when the loan becomes current either through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms or after three months of timely payments following either the completion of a payment deferral program or borrower reperformance and when the issuance date of the new security is at least 120 days after the date the loan was last delinquent.

●

Loans with identified defects. Loans that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect.

●

Closed-end second lien mortgage loans. At present, there is no active market with observable inputs that are significant to the estimation of fair value of the closed-end second lien mortgage loans the Company produces.

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment/resale and total prepayment/resale speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” fair value inputs used in the valuation of loans held for sale:



	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Fair value (in thousands)	$	400,076	$	478,564
Key inputs (1):
Discount rate:
Range		6.8% – 10.2%		7.1% – 10.2%
Weighted average		7.5%		7.2%
Twelve-month projected housing price index change:
Range		3.6% – 4.0%		0.3% – 0.5%
Weighted average		3.7%		0.5%
Voluntary prepayment/resale speed (2):
Range		6.2% – 39.6%		4.0% – 36.9%
Weighted average		22.7%		24.8%
Total prepayment/resale speed (3):
Range		6.3% – 44.9%		4.0% – 50.3%
Weighted average		25.0%		32.2%

(1)	Weighted average inputs are based on the fair values of the “Level 3” fair value loans.

(2)	Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using life voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

(3)	Total prepayment/resale speed is measured using life total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayment/resale speeds.

Changes in fair value of loans held for sale attributable to changes in a loan’s instrument-specific credit risk are measured with reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair values of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the loans will be funded or purchased (the “pull-through rate”).

Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the estimated fair values of MSRs attributable to the mortgage loans it has committed to originate or purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR components of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurements. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:



	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Fair value (in thousands) (1)	$	68,752	$	89,593
Committed amount (in thousands)	$	7,596,114	$	6,349,628
Key inputs (2):
Pull-through rate:
Range		14.8% – 100%		10.2% – 100%
Weighted average		85.3%		81.1%
Mortgage servicing rights fair value expressed as:
Servicing fee multiple:
Range		1.0 – 8.2		1.1 – 7.3
Weighted average		4.9		4.2
Percentage of loan commitment amount:
Range		0.3% – 4.6%		0.3% – 4.3%
Weighted average		2.3%		1.9%

(1)	For purpose of this table, IRLC asset and liability positions are shown net.

(2)	Weighted average inputs are based on the committed amounts.

Hedging Derivatives

Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities; fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

Changes in the fair values of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, or Net loan servicing fees – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), pricing spread (discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs received by the Company when it retains the obligation to service the mortgage loans it sells:

Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating and investing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created in the Company’s loan production activities and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities. Derivative financial instruments created in the Company’s loan production activities are IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale.

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of certain of the its assets. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and its MSRs.

The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivatives for hedge accounting. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

Derivative Notional Amounts, Fair Value of Derivatives and Netting of Financial Instruments

The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from or posted to its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.

The borrowing facilities described throughout these Notes 14 and 15 contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

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

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

Two of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to a lender pending securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback amount is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements are summarized below:

Unsecured Senior Notes

The Company has issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the Company, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness.

The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by PFSI’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indenture under which the Unsecured Notes were issued). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the guarantors and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the guarantors, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness.

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 26.6% and 20.1% for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 22.6% and 20.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same periods for 2023 was attributable to two primary factors. First, the tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 include discrete adjustments for future state tax rate reductions with no such adjustments for the same periods in 2024. In addition, the impact of excess tax expense over equity vesting expenses in 2024 was less than the impact for equity vesting in 2023.

Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments to Purchase and Fund Mortgage Loans

The Company’s commitments to purchase and fund loans totaled $7.6 billion as of June 30, 2024.

Legal Proceedings

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

Litigation

On November 5, 2019, Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC (“Black Knight”), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Duval County, Florida (the “Florida State Court”), captioned Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC v. PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), Case No. 2019-CA-007908, alleging breach of contract and misappropriation of MSP® System trade secrets. On November 6, 2019, PLS filed unlawful monopolization claims against Black Knight pursuant to the Sherman Act and Clayton Act seeking injunctive relief. On March 30, 2020, the Florida State Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by the Company, after which all claims of the Company and Black Knight were consolidated into a binding arbitration.

On November 28, 2023, the arbitrator issued an interim award (the “Interim Award”) granting in part and denying in part Black Knight’s breach of contract claim. The arbitrator’s Interim Award also denied in full Black Knight’s claim of trade secrets misappropriation. The Interim Award granted Black Knight monetary damages in the amount of $155.2 million, plus prejudgment interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and it denied in full all of Black Knight’s claims for injunctive and declaratory relief.

The Interim Award also granted PLS’ claim that Black Knight violated federal antitrust laws, specifically unlawful monopolization in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, and granted PLS’ claim for injunctive relief under the Sherman Act and Clayton Act, as well as its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The parties subsequently agreed not to seek attorneys’ fees or costs on any claims.

As a result of the Interim Award, PLS’ loan servicing technology, known as Servicing Systems Environment, or SSE, and all related intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of PLS, remain the proprietary technology of PLS, free and clear of any restrictions on use. To this end, the arbitrator expressly enjoined Black Knight from claiming ownership to any portion of SSE or preventing the Company from commercializing SSE. Black Knight is also enjoined from enforcing any of its contract clauses requiring that its clients process their loans exclusively on the MSP platform.

On January 12, 2024, the arbitrator issued the final award (the “Final Award”), reducing Black Knight’s monetary damages to $150.2 million, plus interest. As a result of the Final Award, the Company reported a pretax expense accrual of $158.4 million in its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. On February 14, 2024, the Company paid in full and Black Knight accepted payment of all damages and accrued interest due under the Final Award.

On March 15, 2024, the Florida State Court confirmed the Final Award, giving the rulings and remedies therein preclusive effect.

Note 23—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the quarter. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are stock-based compensation awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:


	Quarter ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income	$	98,258	$	58,250	$	137,566	$	88,628

Diluted earnings per share	$	1.85	$	1.11	$	2.59	$	1.68

Table of Contents

Calculations of diluted earnings per share require certain potentially dilutive shares to be excluded when their inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of anti-dilutive outstanding RSUs and stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share:



	Quarter ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

	(in thousands except for weighted average exercise price)
Performance-based RSUs (1)		827		608		754		520

Weighted average exercise price of anti-dilutive stock options (2)	$	84.93	$	58.92	$	84.93	$	58.62

(1)	Certain performance-based RSUs were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share because the performance thresholds included in such RSUs have not been achieved.

(2)	Certain stock options were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the weighted-average exercise prices were above the average stock prices for the quarter.

Note 24—Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements

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

Overview

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PFSI and its subsidiaries.

Our Company

We are a specialty financial services firm primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and the experience of our management team across all aspects of the mortgage business will allow us to profitably engage in these activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.

Our primary assets are equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”). We are the managing member of PNMAC, and we operate and control all of the businesses and affairs of PNMAC, and consolidate the financial results of PNMAC and its subsidiaries. We conduct our business in three segments: production, servicing (together, production and servicing comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management:

●

The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities.

●

The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a mortgage real estate investment trust separately listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PMT”, as well as provides other ancillary services to our customers.

●

The investment management segment represents our investment management activities relating to PMT, which include the activities associated with investment asset acquisitions and dispositions such as sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and settlement.

Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States. PLS is a seller/servicer for the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each of which is a government-sponsored entity. PLS is also an approved issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a lender of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), and a lender/servicer of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies.” PLS is able to service loans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and originate loans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, either because PLS is properly licensed in a particular jurisdiction or exempt or otherwise not required to be licensed in that jurisdiction.

Our investment management subsidiary is PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM has an investment management contract with PMT.

Due to ongoing inflationary pressures, over the last several quarters, the U.S. Federal Reserve has maintained the federal funds rate at its highest level since the great financial crisis of 2007 and has continued to reduce the federal government’s overall holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. Elevated interest rates are expected to constrain growth in the size of the mortgage origination market from $1.5 trillion in 2023 to an estimated $1.7 trillion in 2024 according to mortgage lending industry economists but this estimate may decline if interest rates remain elevated for longer than expected.

Table of Contents

The limited size of the mortgage origination market and interest rates at sustained higher levels continue to impact our mortgage production activities and gains from the redelivery of loans bought out from Ginnie Mae securities. Higher interest rates have also increased the costs of floating rate borrowings, increased interest income from placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage on deposits and loans held for sale as compared to the same period in the prior year, and have led to prepayment speeds below historical averages in our mortgage servicing portfolio. We continued our acquisition of conventional loans from PMT during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and expect to purchase conventional loans from PMT during the remainder of 2024 at a reduced rate.

Table of Contents

EBITDA is a measure that is frequently used in our industry to measure performance and we believe that this measure provides supplemental information that is useful to investors. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income plus provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding decrease (increase) in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) net of mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), due to changes in the valuation inputs we use in our valuation models, hedging losses (gains) associated with MSRs, stock-based compensation and interest expense on corporate debt or corporate revolving credit facilities and capital lease.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. However, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt; and

they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA measures are not intended as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated:

Income Before Provisions for Income Taxes

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, income before provision for income taxes increased $60.9 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $36.7 million increase in loan production revenue due to higher volume across all production channels, a $21.5 million increase in Net loan servicing fees resulting from growth in servicing fees in excess of increases in net MSR valuation losses and a $12.6 million increase in other income resulting from a non-cash gain related to a non-recurring transaction in Townsgate Closing Services, LLC, a joint venture, partially offset by an $8.6 million increase in total expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, income before provision for income taxes increased $66.7 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $92.7 million increase in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value due to higher volume across all production channels, an $8.1 million increase in Loan origination fees and a $14.3 million increase in other income primarily resulting from a non-cash gain related to a non-recurring transaction in Townsgate Closing Services, LLC, a joint venture, partially offset by a $26.4 million decrease in Net loan servicing fees resulting from increases in net MSR valuation losses in excess of growth in servicing fees, an $8.9 million decrease in Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a $7.4 million increase in Net interest expense and a $5.7 million increase in total expenses.

Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

In our production segment, revenues reflect the effects of market adjustments to higher interest rates continuing during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $176.1 million, an increase of $34.6 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher margins in the direct lending channels and an increase in loan production volume across all production channels during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $338.5 million, an increase of $92.7 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher margins and increases in loan production volumes across all production channels during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Non-Cash Elements of Gain on Sale of Loans Held for Sale

Our gains on loans held for sale include both cash and non-cash elements. We recognize a significant portion of our gains on loans held for sale when we make commitments to purchase or fund mortgage loans. We recognize this gain in the form of interest rate lock commitment (“IRLC”) derivatives. We adjust our initial gain amount as the loan purchase or origination process progresses until the loan is either funded or cancelled.

We also receive non-cash proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) (which represent the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for delinquent loans we have bought out of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities we service and have resold to third party investors) and for the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions.

The MSRs, MSLs, and liabilities for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 307% and 282% of our gains on sales of loans held for sale at fair value for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 397% and 345% for the same periods in 2023. These estimates change as circumstances change and changes in these estimates are recognized in income in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs may significantly affect our income.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

The methods and key inputs we use to measure and update our measurements of IRLCs, MSRs and MSLs are detailed in Note 7 – Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Representations and Warranties

Our agreements with the purchasers and insurers of our loans include representations and warranties related to the loans. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

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

Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans sold by us and subject to representation and warranty liability to date represents our maximum representations and warranties exposure.

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit administration staff and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes senior management in our loan production, loan servicing and credit risk management areas.

The method we use to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at our estimate of its fair value at the time loans are sold and review the adequacy of our recorded liability on a periodic basis.

Table of Contents

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $4.1 million and $8.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $3.1 million and $4.9 million for the same periods in 2023. The increases in the provision relating to current loan sales were primarily attributable to an increase in production volume for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

We also recorded reductions in the liability of $4.1 million and $7.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the same periods in 2023. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting performance criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limit the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.

Following is a summary of loan repurchase activity and the UPB of loans subject to representations and warranties:

At end of period:
Unpaid principal balance of loans subject to representations and warranties					$	381,524,553	$	320,986,649
Liability for representations and warranties					$	28,688	$	30,146

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased loans totaling $23.5 million and $44.9 million, respectively. We charged losses of $1.3 million and $2.8 million to the liability during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Our losses arising from representations and warranties have historically been minimized by our ability to either recover most of the losses from our correspondent sellers or from our ability to profitably refinance and resell repurchased loans.

Elevated interest rate levels may affect certain of our correspondent sellers’ ability to honor their obligations to repurchase defective loans, may increase the level of borrower defaults and may increase the level of repurchases we are required to make, thereby making it more difficult to minimize losses on repurchased loans. We expect these developments may increase the losses we incur in relation to our recorded liability for representations and warranties compared to our historical experience. However, we believe our recorded liability is presently adequate to absorb such losses.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees increased $3.1 million and $8.1 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an increase in production volume.

Fulfillment Fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust

Fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. The fulfillment fees are calculated based on the number of loans we fulfill for PMT.

Fulfillment fees decreased $1.0 million and $8.9 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to PMT’s sale of a greater proportion of conventional correspondent loans to PFSI during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Net Loan Servicing Fees

Our net loan servicing fee income has two primary components: fees earned for servicing the loans and the effects of MSR and MSL valuation changes, net of hedging results as summarized below:

Subserviced for PMT	$	230,254,779	$	235,605,712	$	231,235,514	$	235,112,218

Loan servicing fees from non-affiliates generally relate to our MSRs which are primarily related to servicing we provide for loans included in Agency securitizations. These fees are contractually established at an annualized percentage of the UPB of the loan serviced and we collect these fees from borrower payments. Loan servicing fees from PMT are primarily related to PMT’s MSRs and are established at monthly per-loan amounts based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan and the loan’s delinquency or foreclosure status as detailed in Note 5 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Other loan servicing fees are comprised primarily of borrower-contracted fees such as late charges and reconveyance fees.

Table of Contents

Loan servicing fees from non-affiliates and other fees increased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase was primarily due to growth of our loan servicing portfolio. Other servicing fees increased due to growth in our MSR portfolio combined with increased incentives received for loss mitigation activities and recovery of servicing premiums from correspondent sellers for loans that paid off within a short period after origination.

Effects of Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

We have elected to carry our servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value have two components: changes due to realization of the contractual servicing fees and changes due to changes in market inputs used to estimate the fair value of MSRs and MSLs. We endeavor to moderate the effects of changes in fair value by entering into derivatives transactions and holding principal-only stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Change in fair value of MSRs and MSLs and the related hedging results are summarized below:

Changes in fair value of MSRs attributable to changes in fair value inputs decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and increased during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively. The decrease was due to a less significant increase in interest rates during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Increasing interest rates reduce the rate of prepayments of the underlying loans, which increases the cash flows expected from the servicing rights, while decreasing interest rates have the opposite effect.

Hedging results reflect valuation losses attributable to the effects of interest rate increases on the fair value of the hedging instruments as well as increased net exposure to interest rate volatility to limit elevated hedge costs during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 and in the same periods in 2023.

Changes in realization of cash flows are influenced by changes in the level of servicing assets and liabilities and changes in estimates of the remaining cash flows to be realized. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, realization of cash flows increased compared to the same periods in 2023, primarily due to the growth in our investment in MSRs.

Net interest expenses increased $1.4 million and $7.4 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were primarily due to increase in interest expense on borrowings due to the higher interest rate environment and to growth in our balance sheet, partially offset by an increase in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage due to increased earning rates.

Management fees decreased $14,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 due to a decrease in average PMT’s shareholders’ equity.

Period end						4,012		4,221

Compensation expenses increased $5.0 million and $3.4 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation due to increases in production bonuses resulting from higher production volumes, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation due to lower expectations of achieving the performance goals on performance-based RSUs and reduced severance expenses.

Loan Origination

Loan origination expenses increased $8.6 million and $12.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were primarily due to higher origination volumes.

Servicing

Servicing expenses increased $8.3 million and $11.7 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were primarily due to an increase in provision for losses on servicing advances resulting from higher outstanding servicing advance balances during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Professional Services

Professional expenses decreased $8.5 million and $20.2 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased legal expenses related to the Black Knight litigation discussed in Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 26.6% and 22.6% during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 20.1% and 20.2% during the same periods in 2023. The increases in the effective income tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was attributable to two primary factors. First, the tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 include discrete adjustments for future state tax rate reductions with no such adjustments for the same periods in 2024. In addition, the impact of excess tax expense over equity vesting expenses in 2024 was less than the impact for equity vesting in 2023.

Total assets increased $2.7 billion from $18.8 billion at December 31, 2023 to $21.6 billion at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.8 billion in loans held for sale at fair value, an increase of $914.2 million in principal-only stripped MBS at fair value and an increase of $823.7 million in MSRs, partially offset by a decrease in cash and short-term investments of $164.5 million, a decrease in servicing advances of $279.8 million, and a decrease in loans eligible for repurchase of $329.9 million.

Total liabilities increased $2.6 billion from $15.3 billion at December 31, 2023 to $17.9 billion at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.2 billion in borrowings to fund our inventory of loans held for sale, MBS and MSRs, partially offset by a decrease of $329.9 million in liability for loans eligible for repurchase and $155.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result of our increased inventory financing requirements, our leverage ratios increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 from December 31, 2023.

The net decrease in cash of $343.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is discussed below.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 billion during the same period in 2023. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by changes in the levels of our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale as shown below:

Cash flows from:

Other operating sources		423,361		331,719
	$	(1,990,826)	$	(1,036,566)

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $1.5 billion, primarily due to $935.4 million in purchase of principal-only stripped MBS, $391.5 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs and a $178.5 million increase in short-term investment. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $186.5 million, primarily due to a $150.7 million increase in margin deposits, $20.2 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs, and $19.2 million used in acquisition of capitalized software.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase of $3.2 billion in borrowings. The increase in borrowings primarily reflects the increase in inventory of loans held for sale and our investment in MSRs. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 billion in borrowings. The increase in borrowings primarily reflects the increase in inventory of loans held for sale and our investment in MSRs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans and on our MSR investments), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from bank borrowings and proceeds from and issuance of equity or debt offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

Table of Contents

Our current borrowing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our primary borrowing activities are in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, notes payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and unsecured senior notes. A significant amount of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for advances with terms ranging from 30 days to 364 days. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consist of short-term debt, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

Secured debt facilities for MSRs and servicing advances take various forms. Fannie Mae MSRs, Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advances are pledged to special purpose entities, each of which issues variable funding notes (“VFNs”) and may issue term notes and term loans that are secured by such Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae assets. Term notes are issued to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of Securities Act and term loans are syndicated to banking entities, while the VFNs are sold to bank partners under agreements to repurchase. Freddie Mac MSR’s are pledged to a single lender under a bi-lateral loan and security agreement.

On February 29, 2024, the Company through its indirect subsidiary, PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”), issued an aggregate principal amount of $425 million in secured term notes (the “2024-GT1 Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The 2024-GT1 Notes will mature on March 26, 2029 or, if extended, either March 25, 2030 or March, 25, 2031. The 2024-GT1 Notes rank pari passu with other secured term notes issued by the Issuer Trust and are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights and excess servicing spread relating to such mortgage servicing rights that are financed by PLS.

On May 23, 2024, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, issued $650 million in 7.125% unsecured senior notes due in 2030 in a private placement to “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average, maximum daily and ending balances:


	Quarter ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

	(in thousands)
Average balance	$	5,761,107	$	4,688,102	$	4,651,823	$	4,101,440
Maximum daily balance	$	7,122,796	$	6,358,007	$	7,122,796	$	6,358,007
Balance at period end					$	6,414,295	$	3,786,306

The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect both the effect of increasing loan inventory levels during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the fluctuations throughout the periods of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.

Our repurchase agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decrease in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us to comply with various financial and other restrictive covenants. The most significant financial covenants currently include the following:

●

a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $100 million;

●

a minimum tangible net worth of $1.25 billion;

Table of Contents

●

a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth of 10:1; and

●

at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets that are similar to those being financed under certain of our existing secured financing agreements.

With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under PMT’s debt agreements. Covenants in PMT’s debt agreements are equally, or sometimes less, restrictive than the covenants described above.

PFSI issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indentures under which the Unsecured Notes were issued).

Our Unsecured Notes’ indentures contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit the Company and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to engage in specified types of transactions, including, but not limited to the following:

●

pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain loans or investments;

●

incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock;

●

incur liens on assets;

●

merge or consolidate with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets to another person;

●

transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets including capital stock of subsidiaries;

●

enter into transactions with affiliates; and

●

allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

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

We are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers.

Ginnie Mae has issued risk-based capital requirements that will become effective December 31, 2024. We believe that we are in compliance with the Agency’s pending requirements as of June 30, 2024.

We have a common stock repurchase program which allows us to repurchase common shares of up to $2 billion. Share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. From inception through June 30, 2024, we have repurchased approximately $1.8 billion of common shares under our stock repurchase program.

We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our business, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, bank loans, repurchase agreements, securitization transactions and corporate debt. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.

Debt Obligations

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through short-term borrowings with major financial institutions in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. We access the capital market for long-term debt through the issuance of secured term notes, term loans and Unsecured Notes. The issuer under our secured term note facilities is PLS or a wholly-owned issuer trust guaranteed by PNMAC. In addition, PFSI has issued Unsecured Notes guaranteed by certain of its restricted wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.

PLS is required to comply with financial and other restrictive covenants in certain financing agreements, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. As of June 30, 2024, we believe PLS was in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

Many of our debt financing agreements contain a condition precedent to obtaining additional funding that requires PLS to maintain positive net income for at least one of the previous two consecutive quarters, or other similar measures. PLS is compliant with all such conditions.

The financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

In addition, the financing agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to our fair value estimates.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are fair value risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk.

Fair Value Risk

Our IRLCs, mortgage loans held for sale, principal-only stripped MBS, MSRs and MSLs are reported at their fair values. The fair value of these assets fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates. The fair value risk we face is primarily attributable to interest rate risk and prepayment risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates affect both the fair value of, and interest income we earn from, our mortgage-related investments and our derivative financial instruments. This effect is most pronounced with fixed-rate mortgage assets.

In general, rising interest rates negatively affect the fair value of our IRLCs and inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and positively affect the fair value of our MSRs. Changes in interest rates significantly influence the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs, which can have a significant effect on their fair values. Changes in interest rate are most prominently reflected in the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs and the discount rate used in their valuation.

Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income from our investments and our financing costs. Presently much of our debt financing is based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over the relevant index, as determined by the particular financing arrangement.

Prepayment Risk

To the extent that the actual prepayment rate on the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs differs from what we projected when we initially recognized these assets and liabilities when we measure fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of these assets and liabilities will be affected. In general, a decrease in the principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs or an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the MSRs, thereby reducing net servicing income, partially offset by the beneficial effect on net servicing income of a corresponding reduction in the fair value of our MSLs and an increase in the fair value of our principal-only stripped MBS.

Risk Management Activities

We engage in risk management activities primarily in an effort to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our assets. To manage this price risk, we use derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of our assets, primarily prepayment exposure on our MSR investments as well as IRLCs and our inventory of loans held for sale. Our objective is to minimize our hedging expense and maximize our loss coverage based on a given hedge expense target. We do not use derivative financial instruments other than IRLCs for purposes other than in support of our risk management activities.

Our strategies are reviewed daily within a disciplined risk management framework. We use a variety of interest rate and spread shifts and scenarios and define target limits for market value and liquidity loss in those scenarios. With respect to our IRLCs and inventory of loans held for sale, we use MBS forward sale contracts to lock in the price at which we will sell the mortgage loans or resulting MBS, and further use MBS put options to mitigate the risk of our IRLCs not closing at the rate we expect. With respect to our MSRs, we seek to mitigate mortgage-based loss exposure utilizing MBS forward purchase and sale contracts and principal-only stripped MBS, address exposures to smaller interest rate shifts with Treasury and interest rate swap futures, and use options and swaptions to achieve target coverage levels for larger interest rate shocks.

Fair Value Sensitivities

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The following tables summarize the estimated change in fair value of MSRs as of June 30, 2024, given several shifts in pricing spreads, prepayment speed and annual per loan cost of servicing:
