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, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:
•
projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;
descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services;
forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets; and
descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2016.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:
changes in our investment objectives or investment or operational strategies, including any new lines of business or new products and services that may subject us to additional risks;
volatility in our industry, the debt or equity markets, the general economy or the real estate finance and real estate markets specifically, whether the result of market events or otherwise;
events or circumstances which undermine confidence in the financial markets or otherwise have a broad impact on financial markets, such as the sudden instability or collapse of large depository institutions or other significant corporations, terrorist attacks, natural or man-made disasters, or threatened or actual armed conflicts;
changes in general business, economic, market, employment and political conditions, or in consumer confidence and spending habits from those expected;
declines in real estate or significant changes in U.S. housing prices or activity in the U.S. housing market;
the availability of, and level of competition for, attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunities in mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets that satisfy our investment objectives;
the inherent difficulty in winning bids to acquire mortgage loans, and our success in doing so;
the concentration of credit risks to which we are exposed;
the degree and nature of our competition;
our dependence on our manager and servicer, potential conflicts of interest with such entities and their affiliates, and the performance of such entities;
changes in personnel and lack of availability of qualified personnel at our manager, servicer or their affiliates;
the availability, terms and deployment of short-term and long-term capital;
the adequacy of our cash reserves and working capital;
our ability to maintain the desired relationship between our financing and the interest rates and maturities of our assets;
the timing and amount of cash flows, if any, from our investments;
unanticipated increases or volatility in financing and other costs, including a rise in interest rates;
the performance, financial condition and liquidity of borrowers;
the ability of our servicer, which also provides us with fulfillment services, to approve and monitor correspondent sellers and underwrite loans to investor standards;
incomplete or inaccurate information or documentation provided by customers or counterparties, or adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers and counterparties;
our indemnification and repurchase obligations in connection with mortgage loans we purchase and later sell or securitize;
the quality and enforceability of the collateral documentation evidencing our ownership and rights in the assets in which we invest;
increased rates of delinquency, default and/or decreased recovery rates on our investments;
our ability to foreclose on our investments in a timely manner or at all;
increased prepayments of the mortgages and other loans underlying our mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) or relating to our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess servicing spread (“ESS”) and other investments;
the degree to which our hedging strategies may or may not protect us from interest rate volatility;
the effect of the accuracy of or changes in the estimates we make about uncertainties, contingencies and asset and liability valuations when measuring and reporting upon our financial condition and results of operations;
our failure to maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting;
technologies for loans and our ability to mitigate security risks and cyber intrusions;
our ability to obtain and/or maintain licenses and other approvals in those jurisdictions where required to conduct our business;
our ability to detect misconduct and fraud;
our ability to comply with various federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern our business;
developments in the secondary markets for our mortgage loan products;
legislative and regulatory changes that impact the mortgage loan industry or housing market;
changes in regulations or the occurrence of other events that impact the business, operations or prospects of government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”) or the Veterans Administration (the “VA”), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), or government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies”), or such changes that increase the cost of doing business with such entities;
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and its implementing regulations and regulatory agencies, and any other legislative and regulatory changes that impact the business, operations or governance of mortgage lenders and/or publicly-traded companies;
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and its issued and future rules and the enforcement thereof;
changes in government support of homeownership;
changes in government or government-sponsored home affordability programs;
limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules for us to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and qualify for an exclusion from the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to qualify as REITs or as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, and our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to operate effectively within the limitations imposed by these rules;
changes in governmental regulations, accounting treatment, tax rates and similar matters (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs, or the exclusions from registration as an investment company);
2
our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in the future;
the effect of public opinion on our reputation;
the occurrence of natural disasters or other events or circumstances that could impact our operations; and
our organizational structure and certain requirements in our charter documents.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on May 18, 2009, and commenced operations on August 4, 2009, when it completed its initial offerings of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage-related assets.
The Company operates in two segments, correspondent production and investment activities:
The correspondent production segment represents the Company’s operations aimed at serving as an intermediary between mortgage lenders and the capital markets by purchasing, pooling and reselling newly originated prime credit quality mortgage loans either directly or in the form of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), using the services of PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM” or the “Manager”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”).
Most of the mortgage loans the Company has acquired in its correspondent production activities have been eligible for sale to government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or through government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.”
The investment activities segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage-related assets, which include MBS, distressed mortgage loans, excess servicing spread (“ESS”), credit risk transfer agreements (“CRT Agreements”), real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”), real estate held for investment, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), and small balance commercial real estate mortgage loans.
The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with its taxable period ended on December 31, 2009. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company has to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be anticipated for the full year. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Manager to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
Note 2—Concentration of Risks
As discussed in Note 1— Organization and Basis of Presentation above, PMT’s operations and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, a substantial portion of which were distressed at acquisition. The mortgage loans at fair value not acquired for sale or held in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) are generally purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies.
Due to the nature of the Company’s investments, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks associated with loan resolution, including that borrowers may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments when due, and that fluctuations in the residential real estate market may affect the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:
changes in the overall economy, unemployment rates and residential real estate values in the markets where the properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans are located;
PCM’s ability to identify and PLS’ ability to execute optimal resolutions of certain mortgage loans;
the accuracy of valuation information obtained during the Company’s due diligence activities;
PCM’s ability to effectively model, and to develop appropriate model inputs that properly anticipate, future outcomes;
the level of government support for resolution of certain mortgage loans and the effect of current and future proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory changes on the Company’s ability to effect cures or resolutions to distressed mortgage loans; and
regulatory, judicial and legislative support of the foreclosure process, and the resulting effect on the Company’s ability to acquire and liquidate the real estate securing its portfolio of distressed mortgage loans in a timely manner or at all.
Due to these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that risk management activities identified and executed on PMT’s behalf will prevent significant losses arising from the Company’s investments in real estate-related assets.
A substantial portion of the distressed mortgage loans and REO purchased by the Company in prior years has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc., as presented in the following summary:

Investing Activities
On February 29, 2016, the Company and PLS terminated that certain master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement that the parties entered into effective February 1, 2013 (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”) and all amendments thereto. In connection with the termination of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, PLS reacquired from the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Fannie Mae ESS previously sold by PLS to the Company under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and then subject to such 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement. On February 29, 2016, PLS also reacquired from the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Freddie Mac ESS previously sold to the Company by PLS. The amount of ESS sold by the Company to PLS under these reacquisitions was $59.0 million.

Financing Activities
PFSI held 75,000 of the Company’s common shares at both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Note Payable to PLS
PLS is a party to a repurchase agreement between it and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”) (the “MSR Repo”), pursuant to which PLS finances Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advance receivables and pledges to CSFB all of its rights and interests in any Ginnie Mae MSRs it owns or acquires, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and PLS.
In connection with the MSR Repo described above, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an underlying loan and security agreement with PLS, dated as of April 30, 2015 and as further amended, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $150 million from PLS for the purpose of financing its investment in ESS (the “Underlying LSA”). The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA is based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged to PLS, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, the Company granted to PLS a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings, and PLS, in turn, re-pledged such ESS to CSFB under the MSR Repo.
The Company agreed with PLS in connection with the Underlying LSA that the Company is required to repay PLS the principal amount of borrowings plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment, and PLS, in turn, is required to repay CSFB the corresponding amount under the MSR Repo. Interest accrues on the Company’s note relating to the Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. The Company was also required to pay PLS a fee for the structuring of the Underlying LSA in an amount equal to the portion of the corresponding fee paid by PLS to CSFB under the MSR Repo and allocable to the $150 million relating to the ESS financing. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding borrowings on the Underlying LSA totaled $150 million.
Conditional Reimbursement and Contingent Underwriting Fees
In connection with its initial public offering of common shares on August 4, 2009 (“IPO”), the Company conditionally agreed to reimburse PCM up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by PCM on the Company’s behalf (the “Conditional Reimbursement”). Also in connection with its IPO, the Company agreed to pay the IPO underwriters up to $5.9 million in contingent underwriting fees.

Note 4—Earnings Per Share
The Company grants restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. Unvested share-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) are classified as “participating securities” and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method.
Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income, reduced by income attributable to the participating securities, by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to diluted shareholders, which adds back to net income the interest expense, net of applicable income taxes, on the Company’s exchangeable senior notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”), by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Note 5—Loan Sales and Variable Interest Entities
The Company is a variable interest holder in various special purpose entities that relate to its mortgage loan transfer and financing activities. These entities are classified as VIEs for accounting purposes. The Company has segregated its involvement with VIEs between those VIEs which the Company does not consolidate and those VIEs which the Company consolidates.

Consolidated VIEs
Credit Risk Transfer Agreements
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), entered into CRT Agreements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which PMC, through subsidiary trust entities, sells pools of mortgage loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining a portion of the credit risk underlying such mortgage loans in exchange for a portion of the contractual guarantee fee normally charged by Fannie Mae. The mortgage loans subject to the CRT Agreements are transferred by PMC to subsidiary trust entities which sell the mortgage loans into Fannie Mae mortgage loan securitizations and issue cash-collateralized credit guarantees to Fannie Mae. Transfers of mortgage loans subject to CRT Agreements receive sale accounting treatment upon fulfillment of the criteria for sale recognition contained in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the FASB’s ASC.
The Manager has concluded that the Company’s subsidiary trust entities are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the activities of the subsidiary trust entities are established by the Company and PMT owns substantially all of the beneficial interests issued by the trust. Consolidation of the VIEs results in the inclusion on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of the cash pledged to fulfill the guarantee obligation and a credit derivative comprised of the fair values of the credit guarantees and the Company’s right to the related guarantee fees. The pledged cash represents the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to claims under its credit guarantee, is the sole source of settlement of losses under the CRT Agreements and is included in Deposits securing credit risk transfer agreements on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses on net derivatives related to CRT Agreements, including realized gains received, are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.

Jumbo Mortgage Loan Financing
On September 30, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction in which PMT Loan Trust 2013-J1, a VIE, issued $537.0 million in UPB of certificates backed by fixed-rate prime jumbo mortgage loans, at a 3.9% weighted yield. The Company initially retained $366.8 million in fair value of such certificates. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company sold $111.0 million and $208.8 million in UPB of those certificates, respectively, which reduced the fair value of the certificates retained by the Company to $9.4 million as of September 30, 2016.
The VIE is consolidated by the Company as the Manager determined that PMT is the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it has the power, through PLS, in its role as servicer of the mortgage loans, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates expose the Company to losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk created by its MBS, interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, ESS and MSRs. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company has elected to net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from (or posted to) its counterparties when subject to a legally enforceable master netting arrangement. The derivative financial instruments that are not subject to master netting arrangements are IRLCs and the derivatives related to CRT Agreements. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not enter into reverse repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions that are required to be disclosed in the following tables.

Note 7—Fair Value
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their fair values. Measurement at fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Manager has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.
The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. These may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and other inputs.
Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability financial statement item, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.
21
As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities, the Manager 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 or liabilities and to their fair values. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets or liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Manager identified all of the Company’s non-cash financial assets and MSRs relating to non-commercial real estate secured mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%, to be accounted for at fair value. The Manager has elected to account for these assets at fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.
The Manager has also identified the Company’s CRT financing and asset-backed financing of a VIE to be accounted for at fair value to reflect the generally offsetting changes in fair value of these borrowings to changes in fair value of mortgage loans at fair value collateralizing these financings.
For other borrowings, the Manager has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The initial carrying value of the REO is measured at cost as indicated by the purchase price in the case of purchased REO or as measured by the fair value of the mortgage loan immediately before REO acquisition in the case of acquisition in settlement of a loan. REO may be subsequently revalued due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value
The Company evaluates its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value for impairment with reference to the asset’s fair value. For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its MSRs at lower of amortized cost or fair value based on the interest rates borne by the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs. Mortgage loans are grouped into pools with 50 basis point interest rate ranges for fixed-rate mortgage loans with interest rates between 3.0% and 4.5% and a single pool for mortgage loans with interest rates below 3.0%. MSRs relating to adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial interest rates of 4.5% or less are evaluated in a single pool. If the fair value of MSRs in any of the interest rate pools is below the amortized cost of the MSRs, those MSRs are impaired.
When MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period results of operations and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted using a valuation allowance. If the fair value of the MSRs subsequently increases, the increase in fair value is recognized in current period income only to the extent of the valuation allowance for the respective impairment stratum.
The Manager periodically reviews the various impairment strata to determine whether the fair value of the impaired MSRs in a given stratum is likely to recover. When the Manager deems recovery of fair value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.
31
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
The Company’s Cash as well as certain of its borrowings are carried at amortized cost. Cash is measured using a “Level 1” fair value input. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, Notes payable and Exchangeable senior notes are classified as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values.
The Manager has concluded that the fair values of Cash, Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation and sale agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and Notes payable approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the immediate realizability of Cash at its carrying amount and to the borrowing agreements’ short terms and variable interest rates. The fair value of the Exchangeable senior notes at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $239.5 million and $230.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the Exchangeable senior notes is estimated using a broker indication of value.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Most of the Company’s assets, its Derivative liabilities, the Asset-backed financing of a VIE and the Interest-only security payable are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value financial statement items which require the 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 financial statement items, the Manager has assigned responsibility for estimating fair value of these items to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant executive management oversight. The Manager’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value financial statement items other than IRLCs and maintaining its valuation policies and procedures.
With respect to the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value financial statement items, the FAV group reports to PCM’s valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value financial statement items, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PCM’s valuation committee. PCM’s valuation committee includes PFSI’s chief executive, financial, operating, risk, business development and asset/liability management officers.
The FAV group is responsible for reporting to PCM’s valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.
The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Risk Management staff and is reviewed by the Manager’s Capital Markets Operations group.
The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company categorizes its current holdings of MBS as “Level 2” fair value financial statement items. Fair value of these MBS is established based on quoted market prices for the Company’s MBS or similar securities. Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
32
Mortgage Loans
Fair value of mortgage loans is estimated based on whether the mortgage loans are saleable into active markets:
Mortgage loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of the Company’s mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, are categorized as “Level 2” fair value financial statement items. The fair values of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value are established using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent. For the mortgage loans at fair value held in a VIE, the fair values of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trust are used to derive a fair value for the mortgage loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliated brokers based on comparable securities and validates the brokers’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Manager believes are similar to the models and inputs used by other market participants.
Mortgage loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of mortgage loans at fair value held outside the VIE are categorized as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status, property type, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds, loss severities and contracted selling price where applicable.
The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of the mortgage loans’ fair values and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The FAV group computes the effect on the valuation of changes in inputs such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the mortgage loan valuation.
Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are measured by the effect on fair value of the change in the respective mortgage loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period-end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loans at fair value are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the mortgage loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans at fair value are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value:

(2)
Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.
Excess Servicing Spread Purchased from PFSI
The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value financial statement item. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of ESS. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of ESS include prepayment speed
33
and discount rate. Significant changes to those inputs in isolation may result in a significant change in the ESS fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.
ESS is generally subject to loss in fair value when interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the mortgage loans underlying the ESS, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to ESS. Reductions in the fair value of ESS affect income primarily through change in fair value. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of ESS:
UPB of underlying mortgage loans (in thousands)
34,189,425
$51,966,405

Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to ESS.
Prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as a “Level 3” fair value financial statement item. The Company estimates the fair value 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 mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loans will be purchased under the commitment (the “pull-through rate”).
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in fair value. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but increase the pull-through rate for mortgage loan principal and interest payment cash flows that have decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:
Pull-through rate

0.5% - 3.8%
1.2%
Hedging Derivatives
The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell mortgage loans based on quoted MBS prices. These derivative financial instruments are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value financial statement items for those based on exchange traded market prices or as “Level 2” fair value financial statement items for those based on observable interest rate volatilities in the MBS market. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, Net gain (loss) on investments, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income.
REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value financial statement item. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from a broker’s price opinion or a full appraisal, or the price given in a current contract of sale.
REO fair values are reviewed by the Manager’s staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the fair values received. PCM’s staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers will order an additional appraisal to determine fair value. Changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items. 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 pricing spread, prepayment and default rates of the underlying mortgage loans, and annual per-loan cost to service mortgage 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 necessarily directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net mortgage loan servicing fees in the consolidated statements of income.
MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the life of the underlying mortgage loans, thereby reducing the cash flows expected to accrue to the MSRs. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through change in fair value and change in impairment. For MSRs backed by mortgage loans with historically low interest rates, factors other than interest rates (such as housing price changes) take on increasing influence on prepayment behavior of the underlying mortgage loans.

The Company applies a pricing spread to the United States Dollar LIBOR curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.
For MSRs carried at fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs is expected to result in a reduction in fair value which will be recognized in income. For MSRs carried at lower of amortized cost or fair value, an adverse change in one of the above-mentioned key inputs may result in recognition of MSR impairment. The extent of the recognized MSR impairment will depend on the relationship of fair value to the carrying value of such MSRs.
(3)
The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only account for the estimated effect of the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes in the inputs in relation to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made by the Manager to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is based on the accrued cost of the agreements, which approximates the fair values of the agreements, due to the short maturities of such agreements.

The Company is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. The Company transfers government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that it purchases from correspondent lenders to PLS, which is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer, and earns a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days that mortgage loans are held prior to purchase by PLS.
Note 9—Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s activities involving derivative financial instruments are summarized below:
The Company enters into CRT Agreements whereby it retains a portion of the credit risk relating to certain mortgage loans it sells into Fannie Mae guaranteed securitizations in exchange for a portion of the contractual guarantee fee related to such securitizations. The fair values of the credit guarantees and the Company’s right to the related guarantee fee are accounted for as a derivative financial instrument.
The Company generates IRLCs in the normal course of business when it commits to purchase mortgage loans acquired for sale.
The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. To manage the price risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s MBS, inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale, mortgage loans held by VIE, ESS, IRLCs and MSRs.
The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.
The Company is exposed to price risk relative to the IRLCs it issues to correspondent lenders and to the mortgage loans it purchases as a result of issuing the IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time an IRLC is issued to a correspondent lender to the time the purchased mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair value of the purchase commitment or mortgage loan acquired for sale to decrease.

Note 14—Mortgage Loan Participation and Sale Agreements
Two of the borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans acquired for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of such mortgage loans and the sale of the resulting security. A commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.
The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Note 28—Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% and 6.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 14.0% and (12.1)% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary recognized tax expense of $9.7 million and $3.6 million on income of $24.2 million and $9.0 million while the Company reported consolidated pretax income of $45.0 million and $47.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For the same periods in 2015, the taxable REIT subsidiary recognized tax expense of $6.1 million and tax benefit of $6.8 million on income of $14.8 million and loss of $16.5 million while the Company reported a consolidated pretax income of $45.1 million and $66.4 million, respectively. The relative values between the tax benefit at the taxable REIT subsidiary and the Company’s consolidated pretax income drive the fluctuation in the effective tax rate. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is due to non-taxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.
In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

Note 32—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the guidance in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers.
Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts.
The FASB has issued several amendments to the new revenue standard ASU 2014-09, including:
In May 2014, ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2015-14”). This update deferred the initial effective date of ASU 2014-09. As a result of the issuance of ASU 2015-14, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
In March 2015, ASU 2016-08, Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments to this update are intended to improve the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09 by
55
clarifying how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e. the specified good or service) and how an entity should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements.
In May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments to this update clarify certain core recognition principles and provide practical expedients available at transition. The improvements address collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.
The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, and the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
ASU 2016-01 requires that:
All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) with readily determinable fair values will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.
When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The accumulated gains and losses due to these changes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings if the financial liability is settled before maturity.
For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, public business entities will be required to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or fair value) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities).
Public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost.
Entities will have to assess the realizability of a deferred tax asset related to a debt security classified as available for sale in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income is permitted and can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including:
Modifies the accounting for income taxes relating to share-based payments. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of income. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards will be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity will recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in
56
capital; tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or in the consolidated statement of income in the period they reduce income taxes payable.
Changes the classification of excess tax benefits on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity.
Changes the requirement to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. Under ASC 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest as presently required or account for forfeitures when they occur. Under current GAAP, accruals of compensation cost are based on the number of awards that are expected to vest.
Changes the tax withholding requirements for share-based payment awards to qualify for equity accounting. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Under current GAAP, for an award to qualify for equity classification is that an entity cannot partially settle the award in cash in excess of the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements.
Establishes GAAP for the classification of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax- withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This guidance establishes GAAP related to the classification of withholding taxes in the statement of cash flows as there is no such guidance under current GAAP.
ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.
Under GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities.
ASU 2014-15 extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on (1) how to perform a going-concern assessment and (2) when going-concern disclosures are required under GAAP.
Under ASU 2014-15, an entity would be required to evaluate its status as a going concern as part of its periodic financial statement preparation process and would be required to disclose information about its potential inability to continue as a going concern when “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern for the period of one year from the earlier of the date its financial statements are issued or are ready to be issued.
If management concludes that there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,” it must disclose the principal conditions or events causing substantial doubt to be raised, management’s evaluation of the conditions and management’s plans. If substantial doubt is not alleviated as a result of management’s plans, the entity is required to include a statement that there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” ASU 2014-15 also requires an entity to disclose how the substantial doubt was resolved in the period that substantial doubt no longer exists.
ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2016. The requirements of ASU 2014-15 are not expected to have an effect on the financial statements of the Company upon adoption.
57
Note 33—Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated all events and transactions through the date the Company issued these consolidated financial statements. During this period:
On October 4, 2016, the Company, through PMC, amended the terms of its master repurchase agreement, dated November 20, 2012, by and among Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”), on the one hand, and PMC, on the other hand (the “MS Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMC may sell, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans that are purchased from correspondent lenders by PMC and held for sale and/or securitization.
Prior to the amendment, the MS Repurchase Agreement provided for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $300 million. Of this amount, $200 million was committed and available for purchases under the MS Repurchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, Morgan Stanley agreed to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price from $300 million to $400 million. Of this amount, $250 million is committed and available for purchases under the MS Repurchase Agreement.
On October 14, 2016, the Company, through PMC and the Operating Partnership, entered into a master repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), pursuant to which PMC and the Operating Partnership may sell to JPM, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million, $50 million of which is committed (the “JPM Repurchase Agreement”). The JPM Repurchase Agreement will be used to fund newly originated mortgage loans that are purchased from correspondent lenders by PMC and held for sale and/or securitization.
On October 14, 2016, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, PMC, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) and PMC REO Financing Trust (“REO Subsidiary”), entered into amendments (the “October Amendments”) to the terms of (i) its Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2016, by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”), the Operating Partnership, PMC, PMH, REO Subsidiary and the Company (the “Consolidated Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company, through the Operating Partnership, PMC and/or PMH, as applicable, may sell, and later repurchase, (a) newly originated mortgage loans that PMC purchases from correspondent lenders and holds pending sale and/or securitization, (b) newly originated mortgage loans that have been purchased by PMC from correspondent lenders and pledged by PMC to PMH or the Operating Partnership pending sale and/or securitization by PMC, and (c) distressed mortgage loans and equity interests in REO Subsidiary; and (ii) its Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2016, by and among CSFB, the Operating Partnership and the Company, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership may sell to CSFB, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans for which the Operating Partnership provides financing to third-party mortgage loan originators (the “Re-warehouse Facility”).
The original terms of the Consolidated Repurchase Agreement and the Re-warehouse Facility collectively provided for a maximum combined purchase price of $850 million. Of this amount, $650 million was committed and available for purchases under the Consolidated Repurchase Agreement to the extent not reduced by purchased amounts outstanding under the Re-warehouse Facility, while $300 million was committed and available for purchases under the Re-warehouse Facility to the extent not reduced by purchased amounts outstanding under the Consolidated Repurchase Agreement. On September 26, 2016, CSFB previously agreed to increase the maximum combined purchase price provided for under the Consolidated Repurchase Agreement and the Re-warehouse Facility from $850 million to $1.15 billion until October 26, 2016, at which time the maximum combined purchase price would be reset to $850 million. Pursuant to the terms of the October Amendments, CSFB agreed to extend such increase in the maximum combined purchase price to December 23, 2016.
On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $172 million in UPB of performing loans from its distressed portfolio. The sale is scheduled to settle in December 2016. Although definitive documentation has been executed, these transactions are subject to continuing due diligence and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance regarding the size of the transactions or that the transactions will be completed at all.

Our Company
We are a specialty finance company that invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. We have pursued this objective largely by investing in distressed mortgage assets and acquiring, pooling and selling newly originated prime credit quality residential mortgage loans (“correspondent production”) and retaining the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). We have also invested in excess servicing spread (“ESS”) on MSRs acquired by PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). In 2015, we began investing in credit risk transfer agreements (“CRT Agreements”) on certain of the mortgage loans acquired through our correspondent production activity.
We are externally managed by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on, residential mortgage loans. Most of our mortgage loan portfolio is serviced by PLS.
We have invested in distressed mortgage loans through direct acquisitions of mortgage loan portfolios from institutions such as banks and mortgage companies. A substantial portion of the nonperforming mortgage loans we have purchased has been acquired from or through one or more subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.
We seek to maximize the value of the distressed mortgage loans that we acquired using means that are appropriate for the particular loan, including both proprietary and nonproprietary loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on avoiding foreclosure, when possible. When we are unable to effect a cure for a mortgage loan delinquency, our objective is timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the mortgage loan through the use, in part, of short sales and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we did not acquire distressed mortgage loans and we received proceeds from liquidation, payoffs, paydowns and sales from our portfolio of mortgage loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”) totaling $102.9 million and $696.9 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired distressed mortgage loans with fair values totaling zero and $242.0 million and we received proceeds from liquidation, payoffs, paydowns and sales from our portfolio of mortgage loans and REO totaling $114.9 million and $390.4 million, respectively.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we purchased newly originated prime credit quality loans with fair values totaling $19.8 billion and $45.3 billion, respectively, as compared to $15.1 billion and $35.9 billion for the same periods in 2015, in furtherance of our correspondent production business. To the extent that we purchase mortgage loans that are insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) through the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”), or insured or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (the “VA”) or U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), we and PLS have agreed that PLS will fulfill and purchase such mortgage loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae-approved issuer and we are not. This arrangement has enabled us to compete with other correspondent lenders that purchase both government and conventional mortgage loans. We receive a sourcing fee from PLS ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days that mortgage loans are held by us prior to purchase by PLS, on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of each mortgage loan that we sell to PLS under such arrangement, and earn interest income on the mortgage loan for the period we hold the mortgage loan prior to the sale to PLS. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we received sourcing fees totaling $3.5 million and
$8.3 million, respectively, relating to $11.7 billion and $27.6 billion in UPB of mortgage loans at fair value that we sold to PLS, as compared to $3.2 million and $7.1 million relating to $10.8 billion and $23.6 billion in UPB of loans that we sold to PLS for the same periods in 2015.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we received MSRs with fair values at initial recognition totaling $77.6 million and $173.9 million, respectively, compared to $52.8 million and $112.5 million for the same periods in 2015.
We believe that Ginnie Mae ESS is an attractive long-term investment that allows us to leverage the mortgage loan servicing and origination capabilities of PLS and ESS can act as a hedge for us against the interest-rate sensitivity of other assets, such as MBS or the inventory of our correspondent production business. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we did not purchase any ESS from PFSI and we received $1.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, pursuant to a recapture agreement with PFSI, compared to purchases of $84.2 million and $271.5 million and receipt of $2.3 million and $4.8 million of ESS pursuant to such recapture agreement for the same periods in 2015.
We believe that CRT Agreements are a long-term investment that can produce attractive risk-adjusted returns through our own mortgage production while aligning with Fannie Mae’s strategic goal to attract private capital investment in GSE credit risk. We believe there is significant potential for investment in front-end credit risk transfer and MSRs that result from our correspondent production activities as we redeploy capital from the liquidation of distressed whole loans. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made investments in CRT Agreements totaling $89.7 million and $282.4 million, respectively.
We supplement these activities through our participation in other mortgage-related activities, including:
Acquisition of REIT-eligible mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities. We purchased MBS with fair values totaling $301.7 million and $551.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to zero and $62.2 million for the same periods in 2015.
Acquisition of small balance (typically under $10 million) commercial real estate loans. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we acquired $3.7 million and $9.7 million in fair value of small balance commercial real estate loans.
To the extent that we transfer correspondent production loans into private label securitizations, retention of a portion of the securities created in the securitization transaction. Our private label securitization is accounted for as a financing arrangement. Sales of securities included in the securitization are treated as issuances of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we issued $182.4 million in fair value of such securities.
Our board of trustees has authorized a repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $200 million of our outstanding common shares. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased approximately 687,000 and 7.0 million common shares at a cost of $10.6 million and $93.4 million, respectively, for a cumulative total of 8.1 million common shares repurchased at a cost of $109.8 million under the program. The repurchased common shares were canceled upon settlement of the repurchase transactions and returned to the authorized but unissued share pool.
We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT. We believe that we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet certain asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification. A portion of our activities, including our correspondent production business, is conducted in our TRS, which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we have made a provision for income taxes with respect to the operations of our TRS. We expect that the effective rate for the provision for income taxes may be volatile in future periods. Our goal is to manage the business to take full advantage of the tax benefits afforded to us as a REIT.
Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including economic growth, unemployment rates, the residential housing market and interest rate levels and expectations. The U.S. economy continues to grow, albeit at a modest pace, as reflected in recent economic data. During the third quarter of 2016, U.S. real gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 2.9%, compared to 2.0% for the third quarter of 2015 and 1.4% for the second quarter of 2016. The national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.0% at September 30, 2016, 4.9% at June 30, 2016 and 5.1% at September 30, 2015. Delinquency rates on residential real estate loans remain elevated compared to historical rates, but have been steadily declining. As reported by the Federal Reserve Bank, during the second quarter of 2016, the delinquency rate on residential real estate loans held by commercial banks was 4.6%, a reduction from 5.8% during the second quarter of 2015.
Residential real estate activity remains strong. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for September 2016 was 0.6% higher than for September 2015, and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $234,200, a 5.6% increase from September 2015 (Source: National Association of Realtors®). On a national level, foreclosure filings during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 decreased by 10% as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015. However, foreclosure activity is expected to remain above historical average levels through 2016 and beyond.
Changes in fixed-rate residential mortgage loan interest rates generally follow changes in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 3.41% to a high of 3.50% during the third quarter of 2016 while during the third quarter of 2015, thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 3.84% to a high of 4.09% (Source: Freddie Mac’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey). Interest rates generally remained flat in the third quarter of 2016.
Mortgage lenders originated an estimated $580 billion of home loans during the third quarter of 2016, up 27.5% from the third quarter of 2015. Total mortgage originations are forecast to be higher in 2016 versus 2015, with current industry estimates for 2016 averaging $1.9 trillion (Source: average of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts).
We believe that there is significant long-term market opportunity to invest in GSE CRT Agreements on certain of the loans acquired through our correspondent production activity. CRT Agreements align with the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (“FHFA”) desire to reduce taxpayer risk by transferring some of the credit risk from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to private sector participants. FHFA, in its capacity as conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has included in its 2016 scorecard for both GSEs a target to transfer credit risk on at least 90% of the UPB of newly acquired single-family mortgages in certain loan categories. Those loan categories include non-Home Affordable Refinance Program, fixed-rate terms greater than 20 years, and loan-to-value ratios above 60%. This continues the trend of increasing the volume of loans subject to CRT Agreements. For example, FHFA required each GSE to share the risk on at least $30 billion in UPB in 2013, $90 billion in 2014, and $120 billion for Freddie Mac and $150 million for Fannie Mae in 2015. In addition, under the 2016 scorecard, the GSEs have been directed to work with FHFA to conduct an analysis and assessment of front-end CRT Agreements, such as our CRT Agreements, and to take appropriate steps to continue them. In front-end CRT Agreements, a lender or aggregator retains a portion of the credit risk associated with the loans they sell to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac through an arrangement entered into prior to the delivery of the loans to the GSE.
We believe there is long-term market opportunity for the production of non-Agency jumbo mortgage loans. However, most new jumbo mortgage loans are either being originated or purchased by banks, and the current market for jumbo mortgage loan securitizations is limited, as evidenced by weak demand and inconsistent pricing observed throughout 2015 and the first nine months of 2016. Prime jumbo securitizations totaled $1.0 billion in UPB in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease from $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we produced approximately $14 million in UPB of jumbo loans compared to $111 million in UPB of jumbo loans produced during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Our Manager expects to see a continued supply of distressed whole loans; however, we believe the pricing for recent transactions has been less attractive for buyers. We are transitioning away from distressed whole loans to correspondent-related investments such as CRT and MSRs, and we continue to monitor the market to assess best execution opportunities for our existing distressed portfolio investments.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net income of $35.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, and net income of $44.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects net interest income of $17.8 million and $55.3 million, supplemented by $15.8 million and $47.0 million of net mortgage loan servicing fees, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we purchased $19.8 billion and $45.3 billion, respectively, in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized net gains on such loans totaling approximately $43.9 million and $83.1 million, respectively, including $77.6 million and $173.9 million of MSRs retained upon sale of such loans, respectively. At September 30, 2016, we held mortgage loans acquired for sale with fair values totaling $2.0 billion, $575.5 million of which were pending sale to PLS.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded net income of $38.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, and $74.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, respectively. Our net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects net interest income of $23.7 million and $54.2 million, respectively, supplemented by net gains on our investments totaling $25.0 million and $51.0 million and net mortgage loan servicing fees of $20.8 million and $41.8 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased $15.1 billion and $35.9 billion, respectively, in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans. We recognized gains on such loans totaling approximately $13.9 million and $35.2 million, respectively, including $52.8 million and $112.5 million of MSRs retained upon securitization or sale of such loans, respectively.
Our net income decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in pretax income in our investment activities segment of $21.3 million and $57.3 million, respectively. Pretax income was $34.9 million and $46.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to pretax income of $13.6 million and a pretax loss of $10.8 million for the same periods in 2016, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our investment activities segment recognized net investment income totaling $41.3 million and $77.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $19.1 million and $49.1 million from $60.4 million and $126.2 million during the same periods in 2015, primarily due to losses from our investments in ESS and mortgage loans at fair value, which reflect the effects of increased prepayment expectations in the portfolios of MSRs underlying our investments in ESS and the effects of our expectations of longer liquidation periods and lower home price appreciation for certain of our nonperforming loans. Longer liquidation periods increase our expectations of liquidation costs, which reduce our cash flow expectations from the mortgage loans, and decrease the present value of the expected cash flows.
In our correspondent production activities, our net investment income increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, by $31.6 million and $54.1 million from $30.4 million and $72.0 million to $62.1 million and $126.1 million, respectively. We received proceeds of $6.9 billion and $15.3 billion from the sale of mortgage loans to nonaffiliates during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $4.9 billion and $10.6 billion during the same periods in 2015. We issued $8.7 billion and $18.5 billion of IRLCs relating to Agency and jumbo mortgage loans in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, an increase of $4.6 billion and $6.5 billion from the same periods in 2015. Our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale increased due to both the increase in mortgage loan volume and higher margins, both of which were driven by an increased market size and larger customer base.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net investment income of $103.3 million and $203.2 million, respectively, comprised primarily of $43.9 million and $83.1 million of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, $17.8 million and $55.3 million of net interest income, $15.8 million and $47.0 million of net loan servicing fees, and $12.7 million and $28.1 million of mortgage loan origination fees, partially offset by $3.3 million and $11.9 million of losses from results of REO.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded net investment income of $90.8 million and $198.2 million, respectively, comprised primarily of $13.9 million and $35.2 million of net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale, net interest income of $23.7 million and $54.2 million, $20.8 million and $41.8 million of net loan servicing fees, $9.1 million and $21.7 million of loan origination fees, and $25.0 million and $51.0 million of net gain on investments, partially offset by $4.2 million and $11.9 million of losses from results of REO.
Net investment income includes non-cash fair value adjustments and the fair value of assets created and liabilities incurred in mortgage loan sale transactions. Because we have elected to record our financial assets (comprised of MBS, mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value, ESS, IRLCs, CRT Agreements and hedging derivatives), a portion of our MSRs and our asset-backed financing at fair value, a substantial portion of the income or loss we record with respect to such assets and liabilities results from non-cash changes in fair value. Net investment income also includes non-cash interest income arising from capitalization of delinquent interest on mortgage loans upon completion of the modification of such loans and accrual of unearned discounts relating to MBS, mortgage loans held in a VIE, and asset-backed financing.
The amounts of non-cash income items included in net investment income are as follows:

Cash is generated when mortgage loan investments are monetized through payoffs, paydowns or sales, when payments of principal and interest occur on such mortgage loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property securing the mortgage loan has been sold. We receive proceeds on the sale of mortgage loans acquired for sale that include both cash and our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the mortgage loan sales transactions. We receive cash related to MSRs in the form of mortgage loan servicing fees and we pay cash relating to our provision for representations and warranties when we repurchase mortgage loans from investors. Cash flows relating to hedging instruments are generally produced when the instruments mature or when we effectively cancel the transactions through an offsetting trade.

The following table illustrates the proceeds received during the period from dispositions and paydowns of distressed mortgage loan investments and REO, net gain in fair value that we accumulated over the period during which we owned mortgage loan investments and REO liquidated during the period, and additional net gain realized upon liquidation of such assets:

Represents valuation gains and losses recognized during the period we held the respective asset but excludes the gain or loss recorded upon sale or repayment of the respective asset.
Represents the gain or loss recognized upon sale or repayment of the respective asset.
The amounts included in accumulated gains and gains on liquidation do not include the cost of managing the liquidated assets which may be substantial depending on the collection status of the mortgage loan at acquisition and on our success in working with the borrower to resolve the distress in the mortgage loan. Accumulated gains include the amount of accumulated valuation gains and losses recognized throughout the holding period and, in the case of REO, include estimated direct transaction costs to be incurred in the sale of the property. Accordingly, the preceding amounts do not represent periodic earnings on a cash basis and the amount of gain will have accumulated over varying periods depending on the holding periods for individual assets.
The primary expenses incurred at a loan level in managing our portfolio of distressed assets are servicing and activity fees. From the time of acquisition of the distressed assets through their deboarding dates, we incurred servicing and activity fees of $3.3 million and $28.0 million for assets liquidated during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to $3.6 million and $12.0 million during the same periods in 2015. Servicing and activity fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include $5.1 million relating to the sale of performing mortgage loans.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we earned net interest income of $17.8 million and $55.3 million, respectively, as compared to $23.7 million and $54.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in net interest income between quarters was due to a modest decrease in average interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the yield of mortgage loans at fair value, which primarily resulted from an increase in capitalized interest pursuant to mortgage loan modifications.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized interest income on mortgage loans at fair value and mortgage loans at fair value held by VIEs totaling $33.0 million and $95.7 million, respectively, including $23.1 million and $62.8 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications, which compares to $30.0 million and $83.5 million, including $14.8 million and $35.0 million of interest capitalized pursuant to loan modifications in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of an increase in yields on our mortgage loans at fair value from 4.37% and 3.97% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 6.48% and 5.60% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which was mostly due to an increase in interest capitalized from mortgage loan modifications. Capitalized interest contributed 4.59% of the 6.48% yield and 3.72% of the 5.60% yield on mortgage loans at fair value during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to 2.22% and 2.54% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
At September 30, 2016, approximately 55% of the fair value of our distressed mortgage loan portfolio was nonperforming, as compared to 63% at September 30, 2015. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming mortgage loans and generally do not recognize revenues during the period we hold REO. We calculate the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio based on the portfolio’s average fair value, which most closely reflects our investment in the mortgage loans. Accordingly, the yield we realize is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the mortgage loans’ UPBs and performance status as we generally have purchased our distressed mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their UPB.
Nonperforming mortgage loans and REO generally take longer than performing mortgage loans to generate cash flow due to the time required to work with borrowers to resolve payment issues through our modification programs, and to acquire and liquidate the property securing the mortgage loans. The value and returns we realize from these assets are determined by our ability to assist borrowers in curing defaults, or when curing of borrower defaults is not a viable solution, by our ability to effectively manage the liquidation process. As a participant in the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and HUD, we are required to comply with the process specified by the HAMP program before liquidating a mortgage loan, and this may extend the resolution process. At September 30, 2016, we held $853.8 million in fair value of nonperforming mortgage loans and $288.3 million in carrying value of REO, as compared to $1.2 billion in fair value of nonperforming mortgage loans and $341.8 million in carrying value of REO at December 31, 2015.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred interest expense totaling $40.3 million and $108.9 million, respectively, as compared to $37.8 million and $93.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Our interest cost on interest bearing liabilities was 3.28% and 3.22% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2.66% and 2.77% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in interest expense reflects higher borrowing costs associated with funding investments in MSRs and ESS in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 also reflects higher weighted average borrowings related to the financing of our MSRs and ESS.

Our net gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include both cash and our estimate of the fair value of MSRs. We also recognize a liability for potential losses relating to representations and warranties created in the loan sales transactions.
The increase in gain on mortgage loans acquired for sale during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015 was due to an increase in mortgage loan volume and higher margins, both of which were driven by an increased market size and larger customer base.
Provision for Losses on Representations and Warranties
We provide for our estimate of the future losses that we may be required to incur as a result of our breach of representations and warranties to the purchasers. Our agreements with the purchasers include representations and warranties related to the mortgage loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and issuer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the mortgage loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent lenders that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.
The method we use to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of estimated future defaults, mortgage loan repurchase rates, the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent mortgage loan seller. We establish a liability at the time mortgage loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased mortgage loans with UPBs totaling $3.3 million and $9.9 million and recorded net losses charged to the liability for representations and warranties of $14,000 and $424,000, respectively, as compared to repurchases of $1.9 million and $15.0 million and net losses of $74,000 and net recoveries of $54,000 during the same periods in 2015. The losses we have recorded to date have been moderated by our ability to in turn recover most of the losses inherent in the repurchased mortgage loans from the selling correspondent lenders. As the outstanding balance of mortgage loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the mortgage loans sold season, we expect the level of repurchase activity and associated losses to increase.
The level of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor loss mitigation strategies, our ability to recover any losses inherent in the repurchased mortgage loan from the selling correspondent lender and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying mortgage loans. We may be required to incur losses related to such representations and warranties for several quarters after the mortgage loans are sold or liquidated.
As economic fundamentals change, and as investor and Agency evaluations of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change and as economic conditions affect our correspondent lenders’ ability or willingness to fulfill their recourse obligations to us, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change, and we may be required to record adjustments to our recorded liability for losses on representations and warranties which may be material to our financial condition and income. Such adjustments are included as a component of our Net gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value. We recorded a $5.1 million and $6.8 million reduction to previously recorded liabilities for representations and warranties during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to our realization of less than anticipated losses in relation to our original expectations, in part due to the effects of refinancing activity precipitated by the historically low interest rates of the recent periods.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent lenders relating to our purchase of mortgage loans from those lenders. The increase in fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015 is reflective of the increase in the volume of mortgage loans we purchased during the 2016 periods.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
The decrease in net gain (loss) on investments during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, was caused by losses in our credit sensitive investments, primarily our mortgage loans at fair value, which reflects weaker appreciation versus expectations of home values collateralizing the mortgage loans, increased capitalization of interest on loan modifications for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and reduced cash flow expectations relating to certain of our nonperforming loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, respectively. The reduced cash flow expectations largely result from expectations for longer liquidation periods with the attendant increased collection costs during the collection period and a reduced present value of the expected liquidation proceeds. These reduced gains were partially offset by gains from our CRT Agreements and reduced hedging costs during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized net valuation gains on MBS of $517,000 and $9.9 million, respectively, as compared to net valuation gains of $3.6 million and net valuation losses of $1.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in gains we recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 reflects the effects of a steeper decline in mortgage interest rates during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in gains we recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect the effects of decreasing mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2016. Decreasing mortgage interest rates favorably impact the fair value of our investment in MBS.
ESS Purchased from PFSI
We recognized fair value losses relating to our investment in ESS totaling $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to fair value losses of $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The reduction in losses was driven by a decline in our investment in ESS, as our average investment in ESS decreased from $428.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 to $288.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and a sharper decline in mortgage interest rates during the third quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2016. Declines in mortgage interest rates cause our estimate of future prepayments to increase, which typically results in a decrease in fair value.
We recognized fair value losses relating to our investment in ESS totaling $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Mortgage interest rates declined during the first half of 2016 to a greater extent than the first half of 2015, causing our estimate of future prepayments to increase as compared to the same period in 2015, resulting in a decrease in fair value. The effect of this decrease in fair value was compounded by a higher investment in ESS as our average investment in ESS increased from $314.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $328.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Because we have elected to record our mortgage loans at fair value, a substantial portion of the income we record with respect to such mortgage loans results from changes in fair value. Valuation changes amounted to losses of $4.8 million and $6.3 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to gains of $29.1 million and $71.7 million for the same periods in 2015. Cash is generated when mortgage loans are monetized through payoffs or sales, when payments of principal and interest occur on such loans, generally after they are modified, or when the property securing a mortgage loan that has been settled through acquisition of the property has been sold.
The valuation changes on performing mortgage loans reflect the effects of capitalization of delinquent interest on loans we modify. When we capitalize interest in a loan modification, we increase the carrying value of the mortgage loan. However, the fair
value of the loan does not immediately increase significantly. Therefore, the interest income we recognize is offset by a valuation loss of corresponding magnitude. Changes in other inputs may result in further valuation changes to the mortgage loan, and subsequent performance of a modified mortgage loan will be reflected in its future value. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we capitalized interest totaling $23.1 million and $62.8 million, respectively, as compared to $14.8 million and $35.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
Implementing long-term, sustainable loan modification is one means by which we endeavor to increase the fair value of the distressed mortgage loans which we have typically purchased at discounts to their UPB.
Gains on nonperforming mortgage loans decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015 as our expectations of future cash flows relating to certain of these mortgage loans decreased due to weaker appreciation versus expectations of home values collateralizing the mortgage loans and higher capitalization of interest on loan modifications for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and reduced cash flow expectations relating to certain of our nonperforming loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, respectively. The reduced cash flow expectations largely result from expectations for longer liquidation periods with the attendant increased collection costs during the collection period and a reduced present value of the expected liquidation proceeds.
Absent sale or securitization of reperforming and modified mortgage loans, and unlike liquidation of a defaulted mortgage loan, we expect that recovery of our investment in a performing modified mortgage loan will take place generally over a period of several years, during which we earn and collect interest income on such mortgage loan. Our current expectation is that we will receive cash on modified mortgage loans through monthly borrower payments, payoffs or acquisition of the property securing the mortgage loans and liquidation of the property in the event the borrower subsequently defaults. Due to the continuing evolution of modification programs, both through HAMP and proprietary programs, trends in default performance are difficult to discern. Although HAMP is scheduled to end on December 31, 2016, we have other proprietary programs in place to continue mortgage loan modifications.
Large-scale refinancing of modified distressed mortgage loans is not expected to occur for an extended period. Borrowers who have recently modified their mortgage loans typically have credit profiles that do not qualify them for refinancing or have mortgage loans on properties whose loan-to-value ratios exceed current underwriting guidelines for new mortgage loans. Further, modified mortgage loans generally require a period of acceptable borrower performance for consideration in most Agency refinance programs.

Net Mortgage Loan Servicing Fees
Our correspondent production activity is the primary source of our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. When we sell mortgage loans, we generally enter into a contract to service the mortgage loans and recognize the fair value of such contracts as MSRs. Under these contracts, we are required to perform mortgage loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and the right to other compensation.
The servicing functions, which are performed on our behalf by PLS, typically include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting mortgage loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.
Net loan servicing fees are summarized below:
MSR recapture fee from PFSI
Includes contractually specified servicing and ancillary fees, net of guarantee fees.
Net loan servicing fees decreased $5.0 million, or 24%, and increased $5.2 million, or 12%, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. The decrease during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to a $13.6 million increase in the effect of MSRs that was offset by an increase in loan servicing fees of $8.8 million, or 35%.
The increase in servicing fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was due to a $20.7 million, or 28%, increase in servicing fees that more than offset a $15.7 million increase in the effect of MSRs on net loan servicing fees. Both periods reflect the effect of growth in the Company’s servicing portfolio and the effect of decreasing interest rates on our MSRs.
77
The increase in servicing fees is attributable to a 28% and a 27% increase in the average size of our servicing portfolio measured in UPB for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in the effect of MSRs on net loan servicing fees reflects an increase in amortization and changes in fair value from the realization of cash flows that result from the growth in our average servicing portfolios and a provision for impairment as a result of the effect of a reduction in interest rates on the expected life of the mortgage loans subject to MSRs during the first half of 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, partially offset by the effects of gains from hedging derivatives. Amortization, impairment and changes in fair value of MSRs have a significant effect on net mortgage loan servicing fees, driven primarily by changes in prepayment expectations and portfolio growth.
We have entered into an MSR recapture agreement that requires PLS to transfer to us the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in refinancing transactions where PLS refinances a mortgage loan for which we previously held the MSRs. PLS is generally required to transfer MSRs relating to such mortgage loans (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the loans so originated. Where the fair value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, settle in cash with us in an amount equal to such fair market value in place of transferring such MSRs. We recognized MSR recapture income during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $409,000 and $849,000, respectively, as compared to $670,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
We have identified two classes of MSRs: originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5%. Our accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% are accounted for using the amortization method. Originated MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period income.
Our MSRs are summarized by the basis on which we account for the assets as presented below:

Expenses increased $12.6 million, or 28%, and $23.4 million, or 18%, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to higher mortgage loan fulfillment fees from an increase in the volume of Agency-eligible mortgage loans we purchased in our correspondent production activities and higher mortgage loan collection and liquidation expenses from increased litigation and other foreclosure costs on distressed mortgage loans.
Mortgage Loan Fulfillment Fees
Mortgage loan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PLS for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the mortgage loans purchased. Mortgage loan fulfillment fees and related fulfillment volume are summarized below:
Fulfillment fee expense
UPB of mortgage loans fulfilled by PLS
Average fulfillment fee rate (in basis points)
The increase in loan fulfillment fees of $9.7 million and $13.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015 is primarily due to an increase in the volume of Agency-eligible mortgage loans we purchased in our correspondent production activities, partially offset by a decrease in the average fulfillment fee rate charged by PFSI due to contractual discretionary reductions in the fulfillment fee by PFSI to facilitate our successful completion of certain mortgage loan sale transactions and to a contractual change in the mortgage banking services agreement with PFSI in September 2016.
Mortgage Loan Servicing Fees
Mortgage loan servicing fees decreased by $697,000 and increased by $4.4 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. We incur mortgage loan servicing fees primarily in support of our investment in mortgage loans at fair value and our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The decrease in mortgage loan servicing fees for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to a decrease in our average investment in distressed mortgage loans at fair value of $622.3 million. The increase in mortgage loan servicing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, reflects the increase in activity-based fees on distressed mortgage loans of $6.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in our average investment in distressed mortgage loans at fair value of $457.8 million.
Mortgage loan servicing fees payable to PLS are summarized below:

The components of our management fee payable to PCM are summarized below:
Management fees decreased by $717,000 and $2.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to the decrease in our shareholders’ equity, which is the basis for the calculation of our base management fee, as a result of our share repurchases and dividend distributions.
80
We expect our management fees to fluctuate in the future based on: (1) changes in our shareholders’ equity with respect to our base management fee; and (2) the level of our profitability in excess of the return thresholds specified in our management agreement with respect to the performance incentive fee.
Professional Services
Professional service expense increased $189,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase in expenses for audit fees and tax compliance consulting costs.
Mortgage loan collection and liquidation expenses increased $4.4 million and $6.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015, due to increased legal and other foreclosure costs on distressed mortgage loans. As distressed mortgage loans continue to season, we expect to incur increased costs related to the ongoing preservation of our interests in such mortgage loans.
Compensation expense decreased $727,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to decreased share-based compensation expense, reflecting the effects of a generally lower share price in the 2016 periods than in the 2015 periods on the portion of our restricted share unit grants that are accounted for using variable accounting.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, by $672,000 and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily due to higher expenses incurred in the management of our real estate held for investment and higher loan origination expenses, reflecting increased mortgage loan production volume.
Income Taxes
We have elected to treat PMC as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions have been made to date. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Our effective tax rate was 21.3% and 6.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 14.0% and (12.1)% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Our taxable REIT subsidiary recognized tax expense of $9.7 million and $3.6 million on income of $24.2 million and $9.0 million while our consolidated pretax income was $45.0 million and $47.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For the same periods in 2015, the taxable REIT subsidiary recognized a tax expense of $6.1 million and tax benefit of $6.8 million on income of $14.8 million and loss of $16.5 million while our reported consolidated pretax income was $45.1 million and $66.4 million, respectively. The relative values between the tax benefit at the taxable REIT subsidiary and our consolidated pretax income drive the fluctuation in the effective tax rate. The primary difference between our effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is due to non-taxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.
In general, cash dividends declared by us will be considered ordinary income to shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or as return of capital.

Total assets increased by approximately $939.0 million, or 17%, during the period from December 31, 2015 through September 30, 2016, primarily due to a $759.7 million increase in mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, a $386.4 million increase in MBS, a $280.7 million increase in deposits securing CRT Agreements and a $72.4 million increase in cash and short-term investments, partially offset by a $598.7 million decrease in mortgage loans at fair value, a $132.1 million decrease in ESS, and a $53.5 million decrease in REO.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we purchased for sale $19.8 billion and $45.3 billion in fair value of correspondent production loans, respectively, as compared to $15.1 billion and $35.9 billion in fair value of correspondent production loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in correspondent purchases during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same periods in 2015, is a result of a favorable interest rate environment and continued growth in our correspondent production seller network.
Our ability to continue the expansion of our correspondent production business is subject to, among other factors, our ability to source additional mortgage loan volume, our ability to obtain additional inventory financing and our ability to fund the portion of the mortgage loans not financed, either through cash flows from business activities or the raising of additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in increasing our borrowing capacity or in obtaining the additional equity capital necessary or that we will be able to identify additional sources of mortgage loans.

Our acquisitions during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were financed through the use of a combination of proceeds from liquidations of existing investments and borrowings. We continue to identify additional means of increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from our business activities, existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment activities portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

Mortgage Loans at Fair Value – Distressed
The relationship of the fair value of our distressed mortgage loans at fair value to the underlying real estate collateral is summarized below:
Loan
Collateral
Fair values:
The collateral values presented above do not represent our assessment of the amount of future cash flows to be realized from the mortgage loans and/or underlying collateral. Future cash flows will be influenced by, among other considerations, our asset disposition strategies with respect to individual loans and the timing of such dispositions, the costs and expenses we incur in the disposition process, changes in borrower performance and the underlying collateral values. Ultimate realization in a disposition of these assets will be net of any servicing advances held on the balance sheet in relation to these investments.
The collateral values summarized above are estimated and may change over time due to various factors including our level of access to the properties securing the loans, changes in the real estate market or the condition of individual properties. The collateral values presented do not include any costs that would typically be incurred in obtaining the property in settlement of the mortgage loan, readying the property for sale, holding the property while it is being marketed or in the sale of a property.

We believe that our current fair value estimates are representative of fair value at the reporting date. However, the market for distressed mortgage assets is illiquid with a limited number of participants. Furthermore, our business strategy is to enhance value during the period in which the loans are held. Therefore, any resulting appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the loans is recorded during such holding period and ultimately realized at the end of the holding period.
86
Following is a comparison of the key inputs we use in the valuation of our mortgage loans at fair value using “Level 3” fair value inputs:
Prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary CPR.
We monitor and value our investments in pools of distressed mortgage loans by payment status of the loans. Most of the measures we use to value and monitor the loan portfolio, such as projected prepayment and default speeds and discount rates, are applied or output at the pool level. The characteristics of the individual loans, such as loan size, loan-to-value ratio and current delinquency status, can vary widely within a pool.
The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 7.1% at December 31, 2015 to 6.8% at September 30, 2016 due to lower estimates of recoveries in the resolution of the distressed portfolios.
The weighted average twelve-month projected housing price index change used in the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value increased from 3.6% at December 31, 2015 to 4.5% at September 30, 2016, due to improved near term forecasts for real estate price appreciation in the geographic areas in which our portfolio of mortgage loans is concentrated.
The weighted average total prepayment speed used in the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans at fair value decreased from 19.6% at December 31, 2015 to 18.3% at September 30, 2016 due to our projections of longer liquidation periods for certain of our mortgage loans.

Net cash flows

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash of $81.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as discussed below.
Cash used by operating activities totaled $791.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to cash used by operating activities of $526.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in cash flows used by operating activities is primarily due to the growth of our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015.
Net cash provided by our investing activities was $168.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to cash used by investing activities of $69.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in cash flows from investing activities reflects higher investment acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from the purchase of distressed mortgage loans and ESS of $513.4 million, as compared to no acquisitions of distressed mortgage loans or ESS during the same period in 2016, and a higher realization of proceeds from sales and repayments on our investments, which exceeded our investment in CRT Agreements and MBS during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. We realized cash inflows from repayments of MBS, sales and repayments of mortgage loans, repayment of ESS, and sales of REO totaling $924.0 million. We used cash to purchase MBS of $551.7 million and increased deposits of cash collateral securing CRT Agreements transactions by $282.4 million.
Our investing activities have included the purchase of long-term assets which are not presently cash flowing or are at risk of interruption of cash flows in the near future. Furthermore, much of the investment income we recognize is in the form of valuation adjustments we record recognizing our estimates of the net appreciation in value of the assets as we work with borrowers to either modify their loans or acquire the property securing their loans in settlement thereof. Accordingly, the cash associated with a substantial portion of our revenues is often realized as part of the proceeds of the liquidation of the assets, either through payoff or sale of the mortgage loan or through acquisition and subsequent sale of the property securing the mortgage loans, many months after we record the revenues.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $704.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $608.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we (i) financed higher amounts of assets sold under agreements to repurchase from a higher balance of mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value; (ii) repaid all outstanding debt obligations with the Federal Home Loan Bank; and (iii) repurchased common shares under our share repurchase program. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continues to evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing that may be required to provide us with future investing capacity.
We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash flows from the liquidation of our investments, which include accumulated gains recorded during the periods we hold those investments, along with our cash earnings, are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment requirements. However, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.
Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including the purchase of loans from correspondent lenders, our operating expenses and, when applicable, retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt and derivatives positions), make investments as our Manager identifies them, pursue our share repurchase program and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities.
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be proceeds from liquidations from our investment portfolio, including distressed assets, cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. When we finance a particular asset, the amount borrowed is less than the asset’s value and we must provide the cash in the amount of such difference. Our ability to continue making investments is dependent on our ability to invest the cash representing such difference. Further, certain of our CRT Agreements may allow us, at the time we sell a mortgage loan, to deposit less than the full amount of cash we would otherwise be required to deposit with respect to such loan until the end of the aggregation period relating to the applicable CRT Agreement. At the end of such aggregation period, we will be required to deposit all remaining cash necessary to fully secure the related CRT Agreement, and our ability to fully invest in such CRT Agreement is dependent on our ability to deposit the required cash. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.
We do not expect repayments from contractual cash flows from our investments to be a primary source of liquidity as the majority of our investments are distressed assets that are nonperforming. Our portfolio of distressed mortgage loans was acquired with the expectation that the majority of the cash flows associated with these investments would result from liquidation of the property securing the loan, rather than from scheduled principal and interest payments. Our mortgage loans acquired for sale are generally held for fifteen days or less and, therefore, are not expected to generate significant cash flows from principal repayments.
Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. We have made collateralized borrowings in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, mortgage loan participation and sale agreements and notes payable. We also previously made collateralized borrowings in the form of borrowings under forward purchase agreements and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. To the extent available to us, we expect in the future to obtain long-term financing for assets with estimated future lives of more than one year; this may include term financing and securitization of performing, nonperforming and/or reperforming mortgage loans.
We will continue to finance most of our assets on a short-term basis until long-term financing becomes more available. Our short-term financings will be primarily in the form of agreements to repurchase and other secured lending and structured finance facilities, pending the ultimate disposition of the assets, whether through sale, securitization or liquidation. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.
As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we financed our investments in MBS, mortgage loans acquired for sale at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value, mortgage loans at fair value held by a VIE, MSRs, ESS, REO and deposits securing CRT Agreements with sales under agreements to repurchase, notes payable, asset-backed financing and mortgage loan participation and sale agreements. We also financed certain of our investments as of December 31, 2015 with FHLB advances, as follows:

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the assets at a later date. Following is a summary of the activities in our repurchase agreements financing:
Average balance outstanding
Maximum daily balance outstanding
Ending balance
2,864,032
The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is primarily due to increasing volume and the timing of loan purchases and sales in our correspondent acquisition business. The total facility size of our assets sold under agreements to repurchase was approximately $5.2 billion at September 30, 2016.
As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements, notes payable, and mortgage loan participation and sale agreements have short-term maturities:
The transactions relating to mortgage loans and REO under agreements to repurchase generally provide for terms of approximately one year and, in one instance, two years.
The transactions relating to mortgage loans under mortgage loan participation and sale agreements provide for terms of approximately one year.
The transactions relating to assets under notes payable provide for terms of approximately one year.
As of September 30, 2016, leverage on MSRs and ESS continues to be limited in availability due to the requirement of each Agency that its rights and interest in the MSRs remain senior to those of any lender extending credit. As we continue to aggregate MSRs and ESS, the limited availability of financing could place stress on our capital and liquidity positions or require us to forego attractive investment opportunities.
Our debt financing agreements require us and certain of our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants. As of the filing of this Report, these financial covenants include the following:
profitability at the Company for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and over the prior six month period measured at each calendar quarter end, and at the Company and our Operating Partnership over the prior three (3) calendar quarters;
a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among the Company and/or our subsidiaries; a minimum of $40 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents among our Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries; a minimum of $25 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents between PMC and PMH; and a minimum of $10 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at each of PMC and PMH;
a minimum tangible net worth for the Company of $860 million; a minimum tangible net worth for our Operating Partnership of $700 million; a minimum tangible net worth for PMH of $250 million; and a minimum tangible net worth for PMC of $150 million;
a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of less than 10:1 for PMC and PMH and 5:1 for the Company and our Operating Partnership; and
at least two warehouse or repurchase facilities that finance amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements.
Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur and impact our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
PLS is also subject to various financial covenants, both as a borrower under its own financing arrangements and as our servicer under certain of our debt financing agreements. The most significant of these financial covenants currently include the following:
positive net income during each calendar quarter;
a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $20 million;
a minimum tangible net worth of $200 million; and
a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1.
In addition to the financial covenants imposed upon us and PLS under our debt financing agreements, effective December 31, 2015, each of the Agencies has implemented new minimum financial eligibility requirements for Agency mortgage sellers/servicers and MBS issuers, as applicable. These minimum financial eligibility requirements are intended to set a minimum level of capital needed to adequately absorb potential losses and a minimum amount of liquidity needed to service Agency mortgage loans and MBS and cover the associated financial obligations and risks. Currently, we and/or PLS as our servicer, as applicable, are required to comply with the following minimum financial eligibility requirements:
A minimum net worth of a base of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced.
A tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%.
Liquidity equal to or exceeding 3.5 basis points multiplied by the aggregate UPB of all mortgages secured by 1-4 unit residential properties serviced for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae (“Agency Mortgage Servicing”) plus 200 basis points multiplied by the sum of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that exceed 6% of Agency Mortgage Servicing.
In the case of PLS, liquidity equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents.
In the case of PLS, net worth equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of its outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.
Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement, although in some instances we may agree with the lender upon certain thresholds (in dollar amounts or percentages based on the market value of the assets) that must be exceeded before a margin deficit will arise. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees
As of September 30, 2016, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of off-balance sheet obligations.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2016, we had contractual obligations aggregating to $7.8 billion comprised of borrowings, interest expense on long term debt from our Exchangeable Notes and asset-backed financing of a VIE, and commitments to purchase mortgage loans from correspondent lenders. Payment obligations under these agreements, including expected interest payments on financing agreements, are summarized below:

Management Agreement. We are externally managed and advised by our Manager pursuant to a management agreement, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016. Our management agreement requires our Manager to oversee our business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by our board of trustees. Our Manager is responsible for our day-to-day management and will perform such services and activities related to our assets and operations as may be appropriate.
Pursuant to our management agreement, our Manager collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee, both payable quarterly and in arrears. The management agreement, as amended and restated, expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
The base management fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of “shareholders’ equity.” Our “shareholders’ equity” is defined as the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of our equity securities since our inception (weighted for the time outstanding during the measurement period); plus our retained earnings at the end of the quarter; less any amount that we pay for repurchases of our common shares (weighted for the time held during the measurement period); and excluding one-time events
94
pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between our Manager and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees.
Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated management agreement, the base management fee is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. The base management fee is paid in cash.
The performance incentive fee is calculated at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of annualized return on our “equity amount.” For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee, “net income” is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between PCM and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees. For this purpose, “equity amount” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of our public offerings of common shares, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units issued under our equity incentive plans) in the four-quarter period.
The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly and escalates as net income (stated as a percentage of return on equity) increases over certain thresholds. On each calculation date, the threshold amount represents a stated return on equity, plus or minus a “high watermark” adjustment. The performance fee payable for any quarter is equal to: (a) 10% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 12% return on equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on equity plus the high watermark, up to (ii) a 16% return on equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which net income for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the high watermark.
The “high watermark” 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 Fannie Mae MBS Yield (the target yield) for such quarter. If the net income is lower than the target yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the net income is higher than the target yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amount required for PCM to earn a performance incentive fee is adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of our net income over (or under) the target yield, until the net income in excess of the target yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or in our common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at our option.
PCM is entitled to reimbursement of its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on our behalf, it being understood that PCM and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for our direct benefit and for which PCM shall be reimbursed $120,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by PCM or its affiliates.
In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay us and our subsidiaries’ pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of PCM and its affiliates required for our and our subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses will be allocated based on the ratio of our and our subsidiaries’ proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets managed by PCM as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.
PCM may also be entitled to a termination fee under certain circumstances. Specifically, the termination fee is payable for (1) our termination of our management agreement without cause, (2) PCM’s termination of our management agreement upon a default by us in the performance of any material term of the agreement that has continued uncured for a period of 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof or (3) PCM’s termination of the agreement after the termination by us without cause (excluding a non-renewal) of our MBS agreement, our MSR recapture agreement or our servicing agreement (each as described and/or defined below). The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee and (b) the average annual (or, if the period is less than 24 months, annualized) performance incentive fee earned by our Manager during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.
We may terminate the management agreement without the payment of any termination fee under certain circumstances, including, among other circumstances, uncured material breaches by our Manager of the management agreement, upon a change in control of our Manager (defined to include a 50% change in the shareholding of our Manager in a single transaction or related series of transactions or Mr. Stanford L. Kurland’s failure to continue as chief executive officer of our Manager to the extent his suitable replacement (in our discretion) has not been retained by PCM within six months thereof) or upon the termination of our MBS agreement, our MSR recapture agreement or our servicing agreement by PLS without cause.
Our management agreement also provides that, prior to the undertaking by PCM or its affiliates of any new investment opportunity or any other business opportunity requiring a source of capital with respect to which PCM or its affiliates will earn a management, advisory, consulting or similar fee, PCM shall present to us such new opportunity and the material terms on which PCM proposes to provide services to us before pursuing such opportunity with third parties.
Servicing Agreement. We have entered into a loan servicing agreement with PLS, pursuant to which PLS provides servicing for our portfolio of residential mortgage loans and subservicing for our portfolio of MSRs. Such servicing and subservicing provided by PLS include collecting principal, interest and escrow account payments, if any, with respect to mortgage loans, as well as managing loss mitigation, which may include, among other things, collection activities, loan workouts, modifications, foreclosures and short sales. PLS also engages in certain loan origination activities that include refinancing mortgage loans and financings that facilitate sales of real estate owned properties, or REOs. The servicing agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans are charged based on a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of such loan or whether the underlying mortgage property has become REO. The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole mortgage loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $100 per month for loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month. To the extent that we rent our REO under our REO rental program, we pay PLS an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to PLS’ cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9% of gross rental income if PLS provides property management services directly. PLS is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third-party vendor fees.
PLS is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed whole mortgage loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from 0.50% for a streamline modification to 1.50% for a liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. PLS is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, re-performance fee or modification fee in any 18-month period.
The base servicing fee rates for non-distressed mortgage loans subserviced by PLS on our behalf are also calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the mortgage loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates for mortgage loans subserviced on our behalf are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate mortgage loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate mortgage loans. To the extent that these mortgage loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per mortgage loan falling within a range of $10 to $55 per month and based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, and assumption, modification and origination fees.
In addition, because we have limited employees and infrastructure, PLS is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, PLS receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed whole loan. PLS is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by PLS in the performance of its servicing obligations.
Except as otherwise provided in our MSR recapture agreement, when PLS effects a refinancing of a loan on our behalf and not through a third-party lender and the resulting loan is readily saleable, or PLS originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of the real estate acquired by us in settlement of a loan, PLS is entitled to receive from us market-based fees and compensation consistent with pricing and terms PLS offers unaffiliated third parties on a retail basis.
We currently participate in HAMP (or other similar mortgage loan modification programs). HAMP establishes standard loan modification guidelines for “at risk” homeowners and provides incentive payments to certain participants, including mortgage loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The mortgage loan servicing agreement entitles PLS to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which we previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS is required to reimburse us an amount equal to the incentive payments.
PLS continues to be entitled to reimbursement for all customary, bona fide reasonable and necessary out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by PLS in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

Mortgage Banking Services Agreement. Pursuant to a mortgage banking services agreement (the “MBS agreement”), PLS provides us with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, with respect to loans acquired by us from correspondent lenders.
Pursuant to the MBS agreement, PLS has agreed to provide such services exclusively for our benefit, and PLS and its affiliates are prohibited from providing such services for any other third party. However, such exclusivity and prohibition shall not apply, and certain other duties instead will be imposed upon PLS, if we are unable to purchase or finance mortgage loans as contemplated under our MBS agreement for any reason. The MBS Agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by PLS with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans, PLS is entitled to a fulfillment fee based on the type of mortgage loan that we acquire and equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. The applicable percentages are (i) 0.35% for mortgage loans sold or delivered to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and (ii) 0.85% for all other mortgage loans; provided however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae mortgage loans. We do not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the MBS agreement, PLS currently purchases loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from us at our cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days that mortgage loans are held by us prior to purchase by PLS.
In consideration for the mortgage banking services provided by PLS with respect to our acquisition of mortgage loans under PLS’ early purchase program, PLS is entitled to fees accruing (i) at a rate equal to $1,500 per year per early purchase facility administered by PLS, and (ii) in the amount of $35 for each mortgage loan that we acquire thereunder.
Notwithstanding any provision of the MBS agreement to the contrary, if it becomes reasonably necessary or advisable for PLS to engage in additional services in connection with post-breach or post-default resolution activities for the purposes of a correspondent agreement, then we have generally agreed with PLS to negotiate in good faith for additional compensation and reimbursement of expenses to be paid to PLS for the performance of such additional services.
MSR Recapture Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement entered into by PMC with PLS, if PLS refinances through its consumer direct lending business mortgage loans for which we previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to PMC, without cost to PMC, the MSRs with respect to new mortgage loans originated in those refinancings (or, under certain circumstances, other mortgage loans) that have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than 30% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such mortgage loans so originated. Where the fair market value of the aggregate MSRs to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, wire to PMC cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the MSRs in lieu of transferring such MSRs. The MSR recapture agreement expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements. Effective February 1, 2013, we entered into a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement (the “2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which we may acquire from PLS the rights to receive certain ESS arising from MSRs acquired by PLS from banks and other third-party financial institutions. PLS is generally required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for the applicable agency or investor. To date, we have only used the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement for the purpose of acquiring ESS relating to Fannie Mae MSRs. The terms of each transaction under the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement are subject to the specific terms thereof, as modified and supplemented by the terms of a confirmation executed in connection with such transaction.
To the extent PLS refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we have acquired, the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to us, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.
On December 19, 2014, we entered into a second master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PLS (the “12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that we only intend to purchase ESS relating to Freddie Mac MSRs under the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement.
To the extent PLS refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we have acquired, the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to us, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.
On February 29, 2016, the parties terminated the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and all amendments thereto. In connection with the termination of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement, PLS reacquired from us all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Fannie Mae ESS previously sold by PLS to us and then subject to such 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement. On February 29, 2016, PLS also reacquired from us all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Freddie Mac ESS previously sold by PLS to us and then subject to such 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement. The 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement remains in full force and effect.
On April 30, 2015, we amended and restated a third master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PLS (the “4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement”). The terms of the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the 2/1/13 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the 12/19/14 Spread Acquisition Agreement, except that we only intend to purchase ESS relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs under the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement.
To the extent PLS refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS we have acquired, the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that PLS transfer to us, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, PLS is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equivalent to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require PLS to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, PLS may, at its option, wire cash to us in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.
In connection with our entry into the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement, we were also required to amend and restate the terms of a Security and Subordination Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with CSFB. Under the terms of the Security Agreement, we pledged to CSFB our rights under the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement and our interest in any ESS purchased thereunder. The Security Agreement is required as a result of a separate repurchase agreement between PLS and CSFB (the “MSR Repo”), pursuant to which PLS finances Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advance receivables and pledges to CSFB all of its rights and interests in any Ginnie Mae MSRs it owns or acquires, and a separate acknowledgement agreement with respect thereto, by and among Ginnie Mae, CSFB and PLS. As a condition to permitting PLS to transfer to us the ESS relating to a portion of those pledged Ginnie Mae MSRs, CSFB requires such transfer to be subject to CSFB’s continuing lien on the ESS, the pledge and acknowledgement of which were effected pursuant to the Security Agreement. CSFB’s lien on the ESS remains subordinate to the rights and interests of Ginnie Mae pursuant to the provisions of the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement and the terms of the acknowledgement agreement.
The Security Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by us that are substantially similar to those contained in our other financing arrangements with CSFB. The Security Agreement also permits CSFB to liquidate our ESS along with the related MSRs to the extent there exists an event of default under the MSR Repo, and it contains certain trigger events, including breaches of representations, warranties or covenants and defaults under other of our credit facilities, that would require PLS to either (i) repay in full the outstanding loan amount under the MSR Repo or (ii) repurchase the ESS from us at fair market value. To the extent PLS is unable to repay the loan under the MSR Repo or repurchase our ESS, an event of default would exist under the MSR Repo, thereby entitling CSFB to liquidate the ESS and the related MSRs. In the event our ESS is liquidated as a result of certain actions or inactions of PLS, we generally would be entitled to seek indemnity under the 4/30/15 Spread Acquisition Agreement.
Note Payable to PLS. In connection with the MSR Repo and the Security Agreement described above, we entered into an underlying loan and security agreement with PLS, dated as of April 30, 2015 and as further amended, pursuant to which we may borrow up to $150 million from PLS for the purpose of financing our investment in ESS (the “Underlying LSA”). In order to secure our borrowings, we pledge our ESS to PLS under the Underlying LSA, and PLS, in turn, re-pledges such ESS to CSFB under the MSR Repo.
The principal amount of the borrowings under the Underlying LSA is based upon a percentage of the market value of the ESS pledged to PLS, subject to the $150 million sublimit described above. Pursuant to the Underlying LSA, we granted to PLS a security interest in all of our right, title and interest in, to and under the ESS pledged to secure the borrowings.
We have agreed with PLS in connection with the Underlying LSA that we are required to repay PLS the principal amount of borrowings plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment, and PLS, in turn, is required to repay CSFB the corresponding amount under the MSR Repo. Interest accrues on our note relating to the Underlying LSA at a rate based on CSFB’s cost of funds under the MSR Repo. We were also required to pay PLS a fee for the structuring of the Underlying LSA in an amount equal to the portion of the corresponding fee paid by PLS to CSFB and allocable to the increase in the maximum loan amount under the MSR Repo resulting from the ESS financing.
Loan Purchase Agreements. We have entered into a mortgage loan purchase agreement and a flow commercial mortgage loan purchase agreement with our Servicer. Currently, we use the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of acquiring prime jumbo residential mortgage loans originated by our Servicer through its consumer direct lending channel. We use the flow commercial mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of acquiring small balance commercial mortgage loans, including multifamily mortgage loans, originated by our Servicer as part of our commercial lending business. Each of the loan purchase agreements contains customary terms and provisions, including representations and warranties, covenants, repurchase remedies and indemnities. The purchase prices we pay our Servicer for such loans are market-based.
Commercial Mortgage Servicing Oversight Agreement. We have also entered into a commercial mortgage servicing oversight agreement with PLS that governs its oversight of the master and/or special servicing performed by third party servicers in connection with certain commercial mortgage loans we acquire. For the oversight services performed under this agreement, we are required to pay PLS a fee equal to 5 basis points per annum based on the UPB of the related commercial mortgage loans for which it provides oversight servicing.
Reimbursement Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of our common shares on August 4, 2009 (the “IPO”), we entered into an agreement with PCM pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse PCM for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the underwriters for the IPO (the “Conditional Reimbursement”) if we satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. Effective February 1, 2013, we amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement of PCM of the Conditional Reimbursement if we are required to pay PCM performance incentive fees under our management agreement at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement of the Conditional Reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $1.0 million and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million. The reimbursement agreement also provides for the payment to the IPO underwriters of the payment that we agreed to make to them at the time of the IPO if we satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. As PCM earns performance incentive fees under our management agreement, the IPO underwriters will be paid at a rate of $20 of payments for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned by PCM. The payment to the underwriters is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12-month period of $2.0 million and the maximum amount that may be paid under the agreement is $5.9 million.
In the event the termination fee is payable to our Manager under our management agreement and our Manager and the underwriters have not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk. Our primary trading asset is our inventory of mortgage loans acquired for sale. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable recently-originated mortgage loans. Our other market-risk assets are a substantial portion of our investments and are comprised of distressed mortgage nonperforming loans and MSRs. We believe that the fair values of MSRs also respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable mortgage loans. We believe that the fair values of our investment in distressed mortgage loans respond primarily to changes in the fair value of the real estate securing such loans.
The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
