MR COOPER GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Mr. Cooper Group Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Mr. Cooper,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) provides servicing, origination and transaction-based services related to single family residences throughout the United States with operations under its primary brands: Mr. Cooper® and Xome®. Mr. Cooper is one of the largest home loan originators and servicers in the country focused on delivering a variety of servicing and lending products, services and technologies. The Company’s corporate website is located at
www.mrcoopergroup.com
. The Company has provided a glossary of terms, which defines certain industry-specific and other terms that are used herein, in Item 2,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
, of this Form 10-Q.
Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to factors such as adverse changes in the economy, macro-economic uncertainty, changes in interest rates, secondary market pricing for loans held for sale and derivatives, strength of underwriting and servicing practices, changes in prepayment assumptions, declines in home prices or discrete events adversely affecting specific borrowers and such differences could be material.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2021 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to 2022 presentation. Such reclassifications were not material and did not affect total revenues or net income.

2. Dispositions
Sale of Mortgage Servicing Platform
On March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of its servicing and subservicing technology platform for performing and non-performing mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Servicing Platform”) to Sagent M&C, LLC (“Sagent”), in exchange for Class A-1 Common Units equal to
19.9
% ownership of Sagent, and the sale of certain tangible personal property of the Company used in the conduct of the Mortgage Servicing Platform in exchange for $
9.9
in cash, for total consideration of $
260
(the “Sagent Transaction”). In connection with the Sagent Transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $
223
, which was included in other income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and recorded $
4
transaction costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
No
transaction costs were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The net carrying amount of assets and liabilities transferred in connection with the Sagent Transaction was $
31
and reported under Corporate/Other.
The Company accounted for the equity interest under the equity method of accounting, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Sagent’s operating and financial decisions but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control the respective entity. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of Sagent’s earnings or losses and distributions. The initial cost of the equity interest recorded was $
250
, which represented the fair value as of March 31, 2022.
Sale of Reverse Servicing Portfolio
In 2021, the Company completed the sale of its reverse servicing portfolio, operating under Champion Mortgage brand (“Champion”), to Mortgage Assets Management, LLC and its affiliates (“MAM”) for total consideration of $
1,640
. Upon close of the transaction, MAM assumed Champion’s reverse portfolio and related operations. The Company recorded transaction costs of $
5
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities associated with the reverse servicing operation were reported under the Servicing segment. The sale of business represents a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. Therefore, the sale of the reverse servicing portfolio qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations, and the related results of operations are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for prior periods presented.
As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a transitional servicing agreement with MAM, under which the Company was compensated for continuing to subservice the reverse loans through the date that the loans were transferred out of Company’s servicing system. The transfer of the loans out of the Company’s servicing system was completed on April 1, 2022. In addition, the Company retained certain loans, primarily related to previously liquidated loans. As of June 30, 2022, the retained total assets and total liabilities were $
34
and $
26
, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the retained total assets and total liabilities were $
55
and $
39
, respectively. The retained assets and liabilities are included in other assets, and payables and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table sets forth the condensed consolidated statements of operations data for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:

in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of MSRs, of which $
19,367
and $
1,008
were retained by the Company as subservicer, respectively.
MSRs are segregated between investor type into agency and non-agency pools (referred to herein as “investor pools”) based upon contractual servicing agreements with investors at the respective balance sheet date to evaluate the MSR portfolio and fair value of the portfolio. Agency investors primarily consist of government sponsored enterprises (“GSE”), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or “FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (“Freddie Mac” or “FHLMC”), and the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae” or “GNMA”). Non-agency investors consist of investors in private-label securitizations.
The following table provides a breakdown of UPB and fair value for the Company’s MSRs:

These hypothetical sensitivities should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of an adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
Excess Spread Financing - Fair Value
The Company had excess spread financing liability of $
532
and $
768
as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to
Note 13, Fair Value Measurements

The effect on fair value of an adverse change in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects. Also, a positive change in the above assumptions would not necessarily correlate with the corresponding decrease in the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing. Excess spread financing’s cash flow assumptions that are utilized in determining fair value are based on the related cash flow assumptions used in the financed MSRs. Any fair value change recognized in the financed MSRs attributable to related cash flows assumptions would inherently have an inverse impact on the carrying amount of the related excess spread financing.
Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing - Fair Value
The Company had MSR financing liability of $

Credit Loss for Advances and Other Receivables
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve
by $
3
and $
7
, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company increased the CECL reserve by $
3
and $
4
, respectively. In addition, the Company had
no
write-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and wrote off $
5
of the CECL reserve during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the total CECL reserve was $
33
, of which $
25
and $
8
were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively. As of June 30, 2021
, the total CECL reserve was $
42
, of which $
25
and $
17
were recorded in reserves and purchase discount for advances and other receivables, respectively.
The Company determined that the credit-related risk associated with applicable financial instruments typically increase with the passage of time. The CECL reserve methodology considers these financial instruments collectible to a point in time of
39
months. Any projected remaining balance at the end of the collection period is considered a loss and factors into the overall CECL loss rate required.

6. Loans Subject to Repurchase from Ginnie Mae
Forward loans are sold to Ginnie Mae in conjunction with the issuance of mortgage backed securities. The Company, as the issuer of the mortgage backed securities, has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including payments not being received from borrowers for greater than 90 days. Once the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, it has effectively regained control over the loan and recognizes these rights to the loan on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and establishes a corresponding repur
chase liability regardless of the Company’s intention to repurchase the loan. The Company had loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae of
$
1,400
and $
1,496
as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are included in both other assets and payables and other liabilities in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets
. Loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includ
e $
1,241
and $
1,301
loans in forbearance related to
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), respectively,
whereby no payments have been received from borrowers for greater than 90 days.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative instruments are used as part of the overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates related to the Originations and Servicing segments. Derivative instruments utilized by the Company primarily include interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), loan purchase commitments (“LPCs”), forward Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”) purchase commitments, Eurodollar and Treasury futures and interest rate swap futures. The changes in value on the derivative instruments associated with hedging loans held for sale fair value are recorded in earnings as a component of net gain on mortgage loans held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, while changes in the value of derivative instruments associated with the MSR portfolio fair value are recorded in service related, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in changes in other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following tables provide the outstanding notional balances, fair values of outstanding positions and recorded gains/(losses) for the derivative financial instruments. Gains(losses) include both realized and unrealized gains (losses) of each derivative financial instrument.

Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred on advance and warehouse facilities, unsecured senior notes, excess spread financing and compensating bank balances, as well as bank fees. The Company incurred interest expense related to advance and warehouse facilities, unsecured senior notes and excess spread financing of $
90
and $
176
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $

or the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Financial Covenants
The Company’s credit facilities contain various financial covenants which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements, which are measured at the Company’s operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. The Company was in compliance with its required financial covenants as of June 30, 2022.
10. Securitizations and Financings
Variable Interest Entities
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”) determined to be VIEs, which primarily consist of securitization trusts established for a limited purpose. Generally, these SPEs are formed for the purpose of securitization transactions in which the Company transfers assets to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets.
The Company has determined that the SPEs created in connection with certain advance facilities trusts should be consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary of each of these entities.

11. Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered participating securities because it has dividend rights determined on an as-converted basis in the event of Company’s declaration of a dividend or distribution for common shares. I
n 2021, the Company repurchased a total of
14.8
million shares of its common stock from affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), a related party of the Company. In addition, in August 2021, the Company repurchased
1.0
million shares of its preferred stock from affiliates of KKR. After giving effect to these transactions, KKR no longer held any equity interests in the Company.

12. Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate for continuing operations was
26.0
% and
24.4
%, respectively, which differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible executive compensation. The effective tax rate increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to the income before taxes for the respective periods, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and prior period tax credits.

13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy has been established based on the level of observable inputs used in the measurement of fair value (e.g., Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs).
There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Company in estimating fair values of Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

14. Capital Requirements
Certain of the Company’s secondary market investors require minimum net worth (“capital”) requirements, as specified in the respective selling and servicing agreements. In addition, these investors may require capital ratios in excess of the stated requirements to approve large servicing transfers. To the extent that these requirements are not met, the Company’s secondary market investors may utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or ultimately termination of the Company’s selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit the Company from further originating or securitizing these specific types of mortgage loans or being an approved servicer. The Company’s various capital requirements related to its outstanding selling and servicing agreements are measured based on the Company’s operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Regulatory
The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely and currently involved in a significant number of legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, judicial, arbitration, regulatory and governmental proceedings related to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business. The legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration or investigation and are generally based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, employment, contract, tort, common law fraud and other numerous laws, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, National Housing Act, Homeowners Protection Act, Service Member’s Civil Relief Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Lending Act, Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Title 11 of the United States Code (aka the “Bankruptcy Code”), False Claims Act and Making Home Affordable loan modification programs.
In addition, along with others in its industry, the Company is subject to repurchase and indemnification claims and may continue to receive claims in the future, regarding alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to the sale of mortgage loans, the placement of mortgage loans into securitization trusts or the servicing of mortgage loans securitizations. The Company is also subject to legal actions or proceedings related to loss sharing and indemnification provisions of its various acquisitions. Certain of the pending or threatened legal proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory, punitive and/ or statutory damages or claims for an indeterminate amount of damages.
25
The Company operates within highly regulated industries on a federal, state and local level. In the normal and ordinary course of its business, the Company is routinely subject to extensive examinations, investigations, subpoenas, inquiries and reviews by various federal, state and local governmental, regulatory and enforcement agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, various State mortgage banking regulators and various State Attorneys General, related to the Company’s residential loan servicing and origination practices, its financial reporting and other aspects of its businesses. Any pending or potential future investigations, subpoenas, examinations or inquiries may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or settlements, and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in the Company’s business practices, and additional expenses and collateral costs. The Company is cooperating fully in these matters. Responding to these matters requires the Company to devote substantial resources, resulting in higher costs and lower net cash flows. Adverse results in any of these matters could further increase the Company’s operating expenses and reduce its revenues, require it to change business practices and limit its ability to grow and otherwise materially and adversely affect its business, reputation, financial condition and results of operation.
The Company seeks to resolve all legal proceedings and other matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. The Company has entered into agreements with a number of entities and regulatory agencies that toll applicable limitations periods with respect to their claims.
On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory and governmental proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred, and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.
As a legal matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is both probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to legal-related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. The Company recorded legal-related expenses, net of recoveries, which includes legal settlements and the fees paid to external legal service providers, of $
10
and $
8
for three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $
8
and $
21
for three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material legal matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. Management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is $
4
to $
7
in exce
ss of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters as of June 30, 2022. This estimated range of possible loss i
s based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary substantially from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within the estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what management believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure and the Company cannot provide assurance that its litigations reserves will not need to be adjusted in the future. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or this aggregate amount.
26
In the Company’s experience, legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. One or more of the following factors frequently contribute to this inherent unpredictability: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis or, if permitted to proceed as a class action, how the class will be defined; the other party is seeking relief other than or in addition to compensatory damages (including, in the case of regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, the possibility of fines and penalties); the matter presents meaningful legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; the Company has not engaged in meaningful settlement discussions; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; predicting possible outcomes depends on making assumptions about future decisions of courts or governmental or regulatory bodies or the behavior of other parties; and there are a large number of parties named as defendants (including where it is uncertain how damages or liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants). Generally, the less progress that has been made in the proceedings or the broader the range of potential results, the harder it is for the Company to estimate losses or ranges of losses that is reasonably possible the Company could incur.
Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that the current legal accrued liability within payables and accrued liabilities, is appropriate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although the outcome of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular period depending, on among other things, the level of the Company’s revenues or income for such period. However, in the event of significant developments on existing cases, it is possible that the ultimate resolution, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Loss Contingencies
As part of the Company’s ongoing operations, it acquires servicing rights of mortgage loan portfolios that are subject to indemnification based on the representations and warranties of the seller. From time to time, the Company will seek recovery under these representations and warranties for incurred costs. The Company believes all balances sought from sellers recorded in advances and other receivables represent valid claims. However, the Company acknowledges that the claims process can be prolonged due to the required time to perfect claims at the loan level. Because of the required time to perfect or remediate these claims, management relies on the sufficiency of documentation supporting the claim, current negotiations with the counterparty and other evidence to evaluate whether a reserve is required for non-recoverable balances. In the absence of successful negotiations with the seller, all amounts claimed may not be recovered. Balances may be written-off and charged against earnings when management identifies amounts where recoverability from the seller is not likely. As of June 30, 2022, the Company believes all recorded balances for which recovery is sought from the seller are valid claims, and no evidence suggests additional reserves are warranted.
Loan and Other Commitments
The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. The Company also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See
Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments
, for more information.
16. Segment Information
The Company’s segments are based upon the Company’s organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the services offered. Corporate functional expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the actual cost of services performed, direct resource utilization, estimate of percentage use for shared services or headcount percentage for certain functions. Facility costs are allocated to individual segments based on cost per headcount for specific facilities utilized. Group insurance costs are allocated to individual segments based on global cost per headcount. Non-allocated corporate expenses include the administrative costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to Company’s operating segments. Revenues generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company updated its presentation of segments to align with a change in the reporting package provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. In 2021, the Company sold its Title business, Valuations business and Field Services business. The Title, Valuations and Field Services businesses were previously reported under the Xome segment. With the sale of the majority of Xome’s operations and the related changes to business structure and internal reporting, the Xome segment is no longer considered a reportable segment. Accordingly, beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company began reporting Xome’s financial results within Corporate/Other. Prior year financial information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the updated presentation.
On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its reverse servicing portfolio, operating under the Champion Mortgage brand, to MAM and its affiliates. The reverse servicing operation was previously reported in the Company’s Servicing segment. The reverse servicing operation is presented as discontinued operations in Company’s condensed financial statements for all periods presented and, as such, is not included in the continuing operations of the Servicing segment.
On March 31, 2022
, the Company c
ompleted the sale of its Mortgage Servicing Platform to Sagent and recorded a gain of $
223
, which was included in other income, net within the condensed statements of operations and reported under Corporate/Other. Refer to
Note 2, Dispositions
for further details.

CAUTIONS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, core initiatives, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts, including the projected impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial performance and operating results. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “appears,” “believe,” “foresee,” “intend,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “are likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve predictions of our future financial condition, performance, plans and strategies and are thus dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, assumptions and data that may be imprecise or incorrect. Specific factors that may impact performance or other predictions of future actions have, in many but not all cases, been identified in connection with specific forward-looking statements. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and we are under no obligation to, and express disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
•
economic, financial and public health disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic;
•
our ability to maintain or grow the size of our servicing portfolio;
•
our ability to maintain or grow our originations volume and profitability;
•
our ability to recapture voluntary prepayments related to our existing servicing portfolio;
•
our shift in the mix of our servicing portfolio to subservicing, which is highly concentrated;
•
delays in our ability to collect or be reimbursed for servicing advances;
•
our ability to obtain sufficient liquidity and capital to operate our business;
•
changes in prevailing interest rates;
•
our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives;
•
our ability to realize anticipated benefits of our previous acquisitions;
•
our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes;
•
changes in our business relationships or changes in servicing guidelines with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae;
•
our ability to pay down debt;
•
our ability to manage legal and regulatory examinations and enforcement investigations and proceedings, compliance requirements and related costs;
•
our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; and
•
our ability to maintain our licenses and other regulatory approvals.
All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements, or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to
Risk Factors
and
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for further information on these and other risk factors affecting us.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following discussion contains, in addition to the historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by such statements.
Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share data and other key metrics, unless otherwise noted.
We have provided a glossary of terms, which defines certain industry-specific and other terms that are used herein, at the end of the MD&A section.
| Overview | ||
We are a leading servicer and originator of residential mortgage loans. Our purpose is to keep the dream of homeownership alive, and we do this as a servicer by helping mortgage borrowers manage what is typically their largest financial asset, and by helping our investors maximize the returns from their portfolios of residential mortgages. We have a track record of significant growth, having expanded our servicing portfolio from $10 billion in 2009 to $804 billion as of June 30, 2022. We believe this track record reflects our strong operating capabilities, which include a low-cost servicing platform, strong loss mitigation skills, a commitment to compliance, a customer-centric culture, a demonstrated ability to retain customers, growing origination capabilities, and significant investment in technology.
Our strategy is to position the Company for sustainable long-term growth, drive improved efficiency and profitability, and generate a return on tangible equity of 12% or higher. Key strategic priorities include the following:
•
Strengthen our balance sheet by building capital and liquidity, and managing interest rate and other forms of risk;
•
Improve efficiency by driving continuous improvement in unit costs for Servicing and Originations segments, as well as by taking corporate actions to eliminate costs throughout the organization;
•
Grow our servicing portfolio to $1 trillion in UPB by acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers;
•
Achieve a refinance recapture rate of 60%;
•
Delight our customers and keep Mr. Cooper a great place for our team members to work;
•
Reinvent the customer experience by acting as the customer’s advocate and by harnessing technology to deliver digital solutions that are personalized and friction-less;
•
Sustain the talent of our people and the culture of our organization; and
•
Maintain strong relationships with agencies, investors, regulators, and other counterparties and a strong reputation for compliance and customer service.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
We implemented the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which makes available forbearance plans for up to eighteen months for borrowers under government and government agency mortgage programs, which we extended to borrowers in our private label mortgage servicing portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 1.0% of our customers were on a forbearance plan, down from a peak of 7.2% in July 2020. We include loans in forbearance related to the CARES Act, whereby no payments have been received from borrowers for greater than 90 days, in loans subject to repurchase rights from Ginnie Mae in other assets and payables and other liabilities on a gross basis. The balance decreased to $1,241 as of June 30, 2022 from $1,301 as of December 31, 2021.
Anticipated Trends
In the second quarter of 2022, our servicing portfolio grew to $804 billion and we made progress towards our $1 trillion UPB goal. We expect to see continued portfolio growth in 2022, at a measured pace, through acquisitions or execution of additional subservicing contracts for the remainder of the year. In addition, we continue to expect the Servicing segment to benefit from rising interest rates, including decreased amortization, lower prepayment speeds and increased interest income. In the second quarter, our Originations segment met our strategic target of 60% refinance recapture and expect continued strong performance from refinance recapture through the end of the year.
31
In 2022, the inflation rate has continued to increase. Inflationary pressures may limit a borrower’s disposable income, which can decrease customers’ ability to enter into mortgage transactions. Inflationary pressures, along with supply chain disruptions, may also increase our operating costs. However, historically changes in interest rates have a greater impact on our financial results than changes in inflation. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or extent as the inflation rate.

Revenues - operational consists of total revenues, excluding mark-to-market.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, income from continuing operations before income tax expense decreased to $205 from $567 in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the change in total other (expenses) income, net, partially offset by lower total expenses. The change in total other (expenses) income, net was primarily due to completion of the sale of our Title business, which resulted in a $487 gain in 2021. The decrease in total expenses was primarily driven by lower salaries, wages and benefits in our Originations segment due to lower headcount in both the direct-to-consumer and correspondent channels as a result of right sizing the organization consistent with lower origination volumes. See further discussions in the Segment Results section of the MD&A.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 26.0% as compared to 24.8% in 2021. The change in effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to income before taxes for the respective period, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and prior period tax credits.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, income from continuing operations before income tax expense decreased to $1,071 from $1,292 in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in total other income (expenses), net and total revenues, partially offset by lower total expenses. Total other income (expenses), net decreased primarily due to a $223 gain recorded in the first quarter of 2022 upon completion of the Sagent Transaction compared to a $487 gain recorded in the second quarter of 2021 upon completion of the sale of our Title business. See further discussions in
Note 2, Dispositions,
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Total revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our Originations segment due to lower origination volumes, partially offset by an increase in favorable mark-to-market adjustments from our Servicing segment, both primarily driven by higher mortgage rates in 2022. The decrease in total expenses was primarily driven by lower salaries, wages and benefits in our Originations segment due to lower headcount as we right sized the organization in both the direct-to-consumer and correspondent channels as a result of lower origination volumes. See further discussions in the Segment Results section of the MD&A.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 24.4% as compared to 23.7% in 2021. The change in effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the impact of quarterly discrete tax items relative to income before taxes for the respective period, including the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and prior period tax credits.
| Segment Results | ||||||||||||||
Our operations are conducted through two segments: Servicing and Originations.
•
The Servicing segment performs operational activities on behalf of investors or owners of the underlying mortgages, including collecting and disbursing borrower payments, investor reporting, customer service, modifying loans where appropriate to help borrowers stay current, and when necessary performing collections, foreclosures, and the sale of REO.
•
The Originations segment originates residential mortgage loans through our direct-to-consumer channel, which provides refinance options for our existing customers, and through our correspondent channel, which purchases or originates loans from mortgage bankers.
Refer to
Note 16, Segment Information
, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of segment results.
33
| Servicing Segment | ||||||||||||||
The Servicing segment’s strategy is to generate income by growing the portfolio and maximizing the servicing margin. We believe several competitive strengths have been critical to our long-term growth as a servicer, including our low-cost platform that creates operating leverage, our skill in mitigating losses for investors, our commitment to strong customer service and regulatory compliance, our history of successfully boarding new loans, and the ability to retain existing customers by offering attractive refinance options. We believe that our operational capabilities are reflected in our strong servicer ratings.

- Operational revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in other ancillary revenue from early-buyout revenues associated with loans bought out of GNMA securitization, modified and redelivered following GNMA guidelines primarily driven by a decrease in mortgage loans remaining in forbearance program in 2022. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in base servicing fees primarily due to a larger servicing UPB portfolio in 2022.
MSR amortization decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to lower prepayments driven by higher mortgage rates in 2022, partially offset by a higher average MSR UPB and higher average MSR fair value.
The change in MSR MTM and excess spread and financing MTM during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021, was primarily due to an increase in mortgage rates in 2022 compared to 2021, which impacted prepayment speeds and increased the fair value of the MSR.
36
Subservicing
- There were no material changes for Subservicing fees during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021.
Servicing Segment Expenses
Total expenses increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily driven by an increase in salaries, wages and benefits resulting from higher headcount-related costs due to growth of our servicing portfolio.
Servicing Segment Other Income (Expenses), net
Total other expenses, net decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to higher other interest income driven by higher interest income earned on custodial balances due to higher interest rates.

MTM Adjustments includes the impact of negative modeled cash flows which have been transferred to reserves on advances and other receivables. The negative modeled cash flows relate to advances and other receivables associated with inactive and liquidated loans that are no longer part of the MSR portfolio. The impact of negative modeled cash flows was $12 and $20 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, MTM Adjustments included a negative $229 and $74 impact from MSR hedging activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Servicing Segment Revenues
The following provides the changes in revenues for the Servicing segment:
Servicing
- Operational revenue decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in other ancillary revenue from early-buyout revenues associated with loans bought out of GNMA securitization, modified and redelivered following GNMA guidelines primarily driven by a decrease in mortgage loans remaining in forbearance program in 2022, partially offset by an increase in base servicing fees primarily due to a larger servicing UPB portfolio in 2022.
MSR amortization decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to lower prepayments driven by higher mortgage rates in 2022, partially offset by a higher average MSR UPB and higher average MSR fair value.
The change in MSR MTM and excess spread and financing MTM during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021, was primarily due to an increase in mortgage rates in 2022 compared to 2021, which impacted prepayment speeds and increased the fair value of the MSR.
38
Subservicing
- There were no material changes for Subservicing fees during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021.
Servicing Segment Expenses
Total expenses increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily driven by a change in foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses (recoveries), net and an increase in salaries, wages and benefits. We had foreclosure and other liquidation related recoveries, net in 2021 due to the release of loss reserves on servicing advances as a result of loan modification programs related to COVID-19 pandemic compared to foreclosure and other liquidation related expenses, net in 2022, partially offset by lower servicing support fees. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits was primarily due to higher headcount-related costs due to growth of our servicing portfolio.
Servicing Segment Other Income (Expenses), net
Total other expenses, net decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to a decrease in other interest expense due to lower compensating interest expense and bank fees.

Characteristics and key performance metrics of our servicing portfolio exclude UPB, and loan counts acquired but not yet boarded and currently serviced by others.
(2)
As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, loan count includes 40,132 and 123,194 loans in forbearance related to the CARES Act, respectively.
(3)
Average loan amount is presented in whole dollar amounts.
(4)
The weighted average coupon amounts presented in the table above are only reflective of our owned MSR portfolio that is reported at fair value.
(5)
Loan delinquency is based on the current contractual due date of the loan. In the case of a completed loan modification, delinquency is based on the modified due date of the loan. Loan delinquency includes loans in forbearance.
Delinquency is an assumption in determining the mark-to-market adjustment and is a key indicator of MSR portfolio performance. Delinquent loans contribute to lower MSR values due to higher costs to service and increased carrying costs of advances. Delinquency rates decreased from 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the macroeconomic environment declines. Delinquency rates increased slightly when compared with first quarter of 2022 and due to macro-economic uncertainty, delinquency rates may continue to increase during the remainder of 2022; however, we do not anticipate a significant increase in foreclosures in excess of pre-pandemic levels due to the effectiveness of the forbearance programs in place and the historically high levels of equity that borrowers have accrued which provides borrowers with additional options.

Modifications consist of agency programs, including forbearance options under the CARES Act, designed to adjust the terms of the loan (e.g., reduced interest rates).
(2)
Workouts consist of other loss mitigation options designed to assist borrowers and keep them in their homes, but do not adjust the terms of the loan. Workouts exclude loans which did not miss a contractual payment during forbearance related to the CARES Act.
41
Total modifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in modifications related to loans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total workouts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in customers who were exiting forbearance plans, as there were fewer customers in forbearance.

Excess Spread Financing
As further disclosed in
Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities
,
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have entered into sale and assignment agreements treated as financing arrangements whereby the acquirer has the right to receive a specified percentage of the excess cash flow generated from an MSR. In June 2022, the Company entered into an assignment agreement to repurchase excess spread liabilities for a total purchase price of $277.
The servicing fees associated with an MSR can be segregated into (i) a base servicing fee and (ii) an excess servicing fee. The base servicing fee, along with ancillary income and other revenues, is designed to cover costs incurred to service the specified pool plus a reasonable margin. The remaining servicing fee is considered excess. We sell a percentage of the excess fee as a method for efficiently financing acquired MSRs and the purchase of loans. We do not currently utilize these transactions as a primary source of financing due to the availability of lower cost sources of funding.
Excess spread financings are recorded at fair value, and the impact of fair value adjustments varies primarily due to (i) prepayment speeds (ii) recapture rates and (iii) discount rates. See
Note 3, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Liabilities
and
Note 13, Fair Value Measurements
, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the range of assumptions and sensitivities related to the measurement of the excess spread financing liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

| Originations Segment | ||||||||||||||
The strategy of our Originations segment is to originate or acquire new loans for the servicing portfolio at a more attractive cost than purchasing MSRs in bulk transactions and to retain our existing customers by providing them with attractive refinance and purchase transaction options. The Originations segment plays a strategically important role because its profitability is typically counter cyclical to that of the Servicing segment. Furthermore, by originating or acquiring loans at a more attractive cost than would be the case in bulk MSR acquisitions, the Originations segment improves our overall profit
ability and cash flow. Our Originations segment is one way that we help underserved consumers access the financial markets. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, our total originations included loans for 15,002 customers with low FICOs (<660), 23,071 customers with income below the U.S. median household income, 12,842 first-time homebuyers, and 4,259 veterans. During this time period, we originated a total of 15,923 Ginnie Mae loans, which are designed for first-time homebuyers and low- and moderate-income borrowers, comprising $4 billion in total proceeds. Once these loans are originated, these underserved borrowers become our servicing customers.
The Originations segment includes two channels:
•
Our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) lending channel relies on our call centers, website and mobile apps, specially trained teams of licensed mortgage originators, predictive analytics and modeling utilizing proprietary data from our servicing portfolio to reach our existing customers who may benefit from a new mortgage. Depending on borrower eligibility, we will refinance existing loans into conventional, government or non-agency products. Through lead campaigns and direct marketing, the direct-to-consumer channel seeks to convert leads into loans in a cost-efficient manner.
•
Our correspondent lending channel acquires newly originated residential mortgage loans that have been underwritten to investor guidelines. This includes both conventional and government-insured loans that qualify for inclusion in securitizations that are guaranteed by the GSEs. Our correspondent lending channel enables us to replenish servicing portfolio run-off typically at a better rate of return than traditional bulk or flow acquisitions.

Income before income tax expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in total revenues from net gain on loans originated and sold and a decrease in capitalized servicing rights,
partially offset by a decrease in total expenses due to lower salaries, wages, and benefits.
The Originations Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased as compared to 2021 primarily due to a higher ratio of expenses as a percentage of funded volume driven by a lower funded volume due to higher mortgage rates in 2022, partially offset by higher revenue as a percentage of pull through adjusted lock volume.
46
Originations Segment Revenues
Total revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by a decline in net gain on loans originated and sold and a decrease in capitalized servicing rights. Revenues from net gain on loans originated and sold decreased in connection with lower favorable fair value adjustment on loans held for sale and mark-to-market on interest rate locks and loan commitments, partially offset by a lower unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on loans derivatives and hedges. Additionally, the decrease in capitalized servicing rights was primarily driven by lower origination volumes, partially offset by an increase in value of capitalized servicing retained on settlements due to higher mortgage rates in 2022.
Originations Segment Expenses
Total expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased when compared to 2021 primarily due to a decline in salaries, wages and benefits expense, and loan origination expenses. Salaries, wages and benefits expense declined in 2022 primarily due to decreased headcount in both the direct-to-consumer and correspondent channels as a result of right sizing the organization consistent with lower origination volumes. Loan origination expenses declined in 2022 primarily due to cost reduction initiatives in connection with decreased origination volumes.
Originations Segment Other Income (Expenses), Net
Interest income relates primarily to mortgage loans held for sale. Interest expense is associated with the warehouse facilities utilized to finance newly originated loans. Total other income, net, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased as compared to 2021 primarily due to lower interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest income both driven by lower funded volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
||||||||||||||
We measure liquidity by unrestricted cash and availability of borrowings on our MSR facilities and other facilities. We held cash and cash equivalents on hand of $514 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $895 as of December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we bought back 3.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock for a total cost of $135 as part of our stock repurchase program. We have sufficient borrowing capacity to support our operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we increased capacity on our MSR facilities by $600, including a new multi-year $400 facility and an additional $200 upsize to an existing facility. As of June 30, 2022, total borrowing capacity was $16,000, of which $12,588 was unused.
As of June 30, 2022, our total advance facility capacity was $1,175, of which $652 remained unused. For more information on our advance facilities, see
Note 9, Indebtedness
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of funds for liquidity include: (i) servicing fees and ancillary revenues; (ii) advance and warehouse facilities, other secured borrowings and the unsecured senior notes; and (iii) payments received in connection with the sale of excess spread.
Our primary uses of funds for liquidity include: (i) funding of servicing advances; (ii) originations of loans; (iii) payment of interest expenses; (iv) payment of operating expenses; (v) repayment of borrowings and repurchases or redemptions of outstanding indebtedness; (vi) payments for acquisitions of MSRs; and (vii) payment of our technology expenses.
We believe that our cash flows from operating activities, as well as capacity through existing facilities, provide adequate resources to fund our anticipated ongoing cash requirements. We rely on these facilities to fund operating activities. As the facilities mature, we anticipate renewal of these facilities will be achieved. Future debt maturities will be funded with cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities and, if necessary, future access to capital markets. We continue to optimize the use of balance sheet cash to avoid unnecessary interest carrying costs.
In addition, derivative instruments are used as part of the overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates related to originations. See
Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments
, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
, which is incorporated herein for a summary of our derivative transactions.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”) determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which primarily consist of securitization trusts established for a limited purpose. Generally, these SPEs are formed for the purpose of securitization transactions in which we transfer assets to an SPE, which then issues to investors various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets. In these securitization transactions, we typically receive cash and/or other interests in the SPE as proceeds for the transferred assets. See
Note 10, Securitizations and Financings
, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
, which is incorporated herein for a summary of our transactions with VIEs and unconsolidated balances, and details of their impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating activities
Our operating activities generated cash of $2,582 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash used of $114 in 2021. The change in cash attributable to operating activities was primarily related to continuing operations, driven by $2,454 in cash generated from originations net sales activities in 2022 compared to $449 of cash used in 2021, as a result of sales proceeds and loan payment proceeds exceeding loan purchases.
Investing activities
Our investing activities used cash of $885 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash used of $247 in 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to continuing operations, driven by an increase of $934 in cash used for the purchase of mortgage servicing rights in 2022, partially offset by an increase of $262 in cash generated by proceeds on sales of mortgage servicing rights.
Financing activities
Our financing activities used cash of $2,109 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash generated of $354 in 2021. The change in cash attributable to financing activities was primarily related to continuing operations, driven by a net repayment of $1,597 in 2022 compared to net borrowing of $1,047 in 2021 on our advance and warehouse facilities.
Capital Resources
Capital Structure and Debt
We require access to external financing resources from time to time depending on our cash requirements, assessments of current and anticipated market conditions and after-tax cost of capital. If needed, we believe additional capital could be raised through a combination of issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness, asset-backed acquisition financing and/or cash from operations. Our access to capital markets can be impacted by factors outside our control, including economic conditions.
Financial Covenants
Our credit facilities contain various financial covenants, which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements. These covenants are measured at our operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage LLC. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our required financial covenants.
Seller/Servicer Financial Requirements
We are also subject to net worth, liquidity and capital ratio requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and Ginnie Mae for single family issuers, as summarized below. These requirements apply to our operating subsidiary, Nationstar Mortgage, LLC.

Since we have a Ginnie Mae single-family servicing portfolio that exceeds $75 billion in UPB, we are also required to obtain an external primary servicer rating and issuer credit ratings from two different rating agencies and receive a minimum rating of a B or its equivalent. We are permitted to satisfy minimum liquidity requirements using a combination of AAA rated government securities that are marked to market in addition to cash and certain cash equivalents.
51
In addition, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac may require capital ratios in excess of stated requirements. Refer to
Note 14, Capital Requirements,
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Advance Facilities
As part of our normal course of business, we borrow money to fund servicing advances. Our servicing agreements require that we advance our own funds to meet contractual principal and interest payments for certain investors, and to pay taxes, insurance, foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. Delinquency rates and prepayment speeds affect the size of servicing advance balances, and we exercise our ability to stop advancing principal and interest where the pooling and servicing agreements permit, where the advance is deemed to be non-recoverable from future proceeds. These servicing requirements affect our liquidity. We rely upon several counterparties to provide us with financing facilities to fund a portion of our servicing advances. As of June 30, 2022, we had a total borrowing capacity of $1,175, of which we could borrow an additional $652.
Warehouse and MSR Facilities
Loan origination activities generally require short-term l
iquidity in excess of amounts generated by our operations. The loans we originate are financed through several warehouse lines on a short-term basis. We typically hold the loans for approximately 30 days and then sell or place the loans in government securitizations in order to repay the borrowings under the warehouse lines. Our ability to fund current operations depends upon our ability to secure these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms and to renew or replace the financings as they expire.
As of June 30, 2022
, we had a total borrowing capacity of $14,825 for warehouse and MSR facilities, of which we could borrow an additional $11,936.
Unsecured Senior Notes
In 2021, we completed an offering of an unsecured senior note with a maturity date of 2031. We pay interest semi-annually to the holders of these notes at interest rates ranging from
5.125%
to
6.000%
.

| Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates | ||||||||||||||
Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified the following policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to fair value measurements, particularly those determined to be Level 3 as discussed in
Note 13, Fair Value Measurements
, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and valuation and realization of deferred tax assets. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of these critical accounting policies on our condensed consolidated financial statements, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition. Fair value measurements considered to be Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs primarily include (i) the valuation of MSRs, (ii) the valuation of excess spread financing, and (iii) the valuation of IRLCs. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Developments
Below lists recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us but not yet adopted.
Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 and 2021-01, collectively implemented as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 (“ASC 848”),
Reference Rate Reform
provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedge accounting and other transactions affected by the transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from current methods for any reasons, interest rates on our floating rate loans, obligation derivatives, and other financial instruments tied to LIBOR rates, may be affected and need renegotiation with its lenders. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 was issued to clarify that all derivatives instruments affected by changes to the interests’ rates used for discounting, margining alignment due to reference rate reform are in scope of ASC 848. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were effective March 2020 and January 2021, respectively, for contract modifications, existing hedging relationships and other impacted transactions through December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have not elected to apply any of the amendments through June 30, 2022 and are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

Loan-to-Value Ratio (“LTV”).
The unpaid principal balance of a mortgage loan as a percentage of the total appraised or market value of the property that secures the loan. An LTV over 100% indicates that the UPB of the mortgage loan exceeds the value of the property.
Lock period.
A set of periods of time that a lender will guarantee a specific rate is set prior to funding the mortgage loan.
Loss Mitigation.
The range of servicing activities provided by a servicer in an attempt to minimize the losses suffered by the owner of a defaulted mortgage loan. Loss mitigation techniques include short-sales, deed-in-lieu of foreclosures and loan modifications, among other options.

Mortgage Servicing Right (“MSRs”).
The right and obligation to service a loan or pool of loans and to receive a servicing fee as well as certain ancillary income. MSRs may be bought and sold, resulting in the transfer of loan servicing obligations. MSRs are designated as such when the benefits of servicing the loans are expected to adequately compensate the servicer for performing the servicing.
MSR Facility.
A line of credit backed by mortgage servicing rights that is used for financing purposes. In certain cases, these lines may be a sub-limit of another warehouse facility or alternatively exist on a stand-alone basis. These facilities allow for same or next day draws at the request of the borrower.
Non-Conforming Loan.
A mortgage loan that does not meet the standards of eligibility for purchase or securitization by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.
Originations.
The process through which a lender provides a mortgage loan to a borrower.
Pull through adjusted lock volume.
Represents the expected funding from locks taken during the period.
55
Prepayment Speed.
The rate at which voluntary mortgage prepayments occur or are projected to occur. The statistic is calculated on an annualized basis and expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance.
Primary Servicer.
The servicer that owns the right to service a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. This differs from a subservicer, which has a contractual agreement with the primary servicer to service a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans in exchange for a subservicing fee based upon portfolio volume and characteristics.
Prime Mortgage Loan.
Generally, a high-quality mortgage loan that meets the underwriting standards set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and is eligible for purchase or securitization in the secondary mortgage market. Prime Mortgage loans generally have lower default risk and are made to borrowers with excellent credit records and a monthly income at least three to four times greater than their monthly housing expenses (mortgage payments plus taxes and other debt payments) as well as significant other assets. Mortgages not classified as prime mortgage loans are generally called either sub-prime or Alt-A.
Private Label Securitizations.
Securitizations that do not meet the criteria set by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.
Real Estate Owned (”REO”).
Property acquired by the servicer on behalf of the owner of a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans, usually through foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a defaulted loan. The servicer or a third-party real estate management firm is responsible for selling the REO. Net proceeds of the sale are returned to the owner of the related loan or loans. In most cases, the sale of REO does not generate enough to pay off the balance of the loan underlying the REO, causing a loss to the owner of the related mortgage loan.
Recapture.
Voluntarily prepaid loans that are expected to be refinanced by the related servicer.
Refinancing.
The process of working with existing borrowers to refinance their mortgage loans. By refinancing loans for borrowers we currently service, we retain the servicing rights, thereby extending the longevity of the servicing cash flows.
Reverse Mortgage Loan.
A reverse mortgage loan, most commonly a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, enables seniors to borrow against the value of their home, and no payment of principal or interest is required until the death of the borrower or the sale of the home. These loans are designed to go through the foreclosure and claim process to recover loan balance.
Servicing.
The performance of contractually specified administrative functions with respect to a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. Duties of a servicer typically include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic monthly statements to the borrower and monthly reports to the loan owners or their agents, managing insurance, monitoring delinquencies, executing foreclosures (as necessary), and remitting fees to guarantors, trustees and service providers. A servicer is generally compensated with a specific fee outlined in the contract established prior to the commencement of the servicing activities.
56
Servicing Advances.
In the course of servicing loans, servicers are required to make advances that are reimbursable from collections on the related mortgage loan or pool of loans. There are typically three types of servicing advances: P&I Advances, T&I Advances and Corporate Advances.
(i) P&I Advances cover scheduled payments of principal and interest that have not been timely paid by borrowers. P&I Advances serve to facilitate the cash flows paid to holders of securities issued by the residential MBS trust. The servicer is not the insurer or guarantor of the MBS and thus has the right to cease the advancing of P&I, when the servicer deems the next advance nonrecoverable.
(ii) T&I Advances pay specified expenses associated with the preservation of a mortgaged property or the liquidation of defaulted mortgage loans, including but not limited to property taxes, insurance premiums or other property-related expenses that have not been timely paid by borrowers in order for the lien holder to maintain its interest in the property.
(iii) Corporate Advances pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in foreclosing upon, preserving defaulted loans and selling REO, including attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with foreclosure and liquidation or other legal proceedings arising in the course of servicing the defaulted mortgage loans.
Servicing Advances are reimbursed to the servicer if and when the borrower makes a payment on the underlying mortgage loan at the time the loan is modified or upon liquidation of the underlying mortgage loan but are primarily the responsibility of the investor/owner of the loan. The types of servicing advances that a servicer must make are set forth in its servicing agreement with the owner of the mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans. In some instances, a servicer is allowed to cease Servicing Advances, if those advances will not be recoverable from the property securing the loan.
Subservicing.
Subservicing is the process of outsourcing the duties of the primary servicer to a third-party servicer. The third-party servicer performs the servicing responsibilities for a fee and is typically not responsible for making servicing advances, which are subsequently reimbursed by the primary servicer. The primary servicer is contractually liable to the owner of the loans for the activities of the subservicer.
Unpaid Principal Balance (“UPB”).
The amount of principal outstanding on a mortgage loan or a pool of mortgage loans. UPB is used together with the servicing fees and ancillary incomes as a means of estimating the future revenue stream for a servicer.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”).
The USDA is a cabinet-level department of the U.S. federal government, which guarantees certain home loans for qualified borrowers.
Warehouse Facility.
A type of line of credit facility used to temporarily finance mortgage loan originations to be sold in the secondary market. Pursuant to a warehouse facility, a loan originator typically agrees to transfer to a counterparty certain mortgage loans against the transfer of funds by the counterpart, with a simultaneous agreement by the counterpart to transfer the loans back to the originator at a date certain, or on demand, against the transfer of funds from the originator.
57
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Refer to the discussion included in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in the types of market risks faced by us since December 31, 2021. Our market risks include the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic’s effect on the macroeconomic environment has yet to be fully determined and could continue for months or years, the pandemic and governmental programs created as a response to the pandemic, has affected and will continue to affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Sensitivity Analysis
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.
We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our loan portfolio, certain other interest-bearing liabilities measured at fair value and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The primary assumption used in these models is that an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.
We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on MSRs. The discounted cash flow model incorporates prepayment speeds, discount rate, costs to service, delinquencies, ancillary revenues, recapture rates and other assumptions that management believes are consistent with the assumptions that other similar market participants use in valuing the MSRs. The key assumptions to determine fair value include prepayment speed, discount rate and cost to service. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between MBS, swaps and U.S. Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. For mortgage loans, IRLCs and forward delivery commitments on MBS, we rely on a model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. In addition, the primary assumption used for IRLCs, is the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment.
Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.
We used June 30, 2022 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.
58
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of June 30, 2022 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.
