MT. LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

PHH Corporation PHH (“PHH” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company reported a net loss attributable to PHH Corporation of $42 million or $0.73 per basic share. Core loss (after-tax)* and core loss per share* for the quarter were $18 million and $0.32, respectively.

Tangible book value per share* was $27.34 at March 31, 2014, down 3% from $28.15 at December 31, 2013, and up 3% from $26.62 at March 31, 2013.

Glen A. Messina, president and CEO of PHH Corporation, said, “In the first quarter, our Fleet business again delivered strong earnings while results in our Mortgage business were consistent with the mortgage industry environment and our expectations. We continue to take decisive actions to strengthen PHH's position to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in a home purchase-driven market.”

Messina added, “We continue to explore a separation or sale of our businesses, following a disciplined process focused on optimizing both near-term and long-term value for our shareholders. We expect to reach conclusions in this process by the end of the second quarter.”

* Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax), core earnings or loss (after-tax), core earnings or loss per share, adjusted cash flow, tangible book value and tangible book value per share are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). See the “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a detailed description of these and certain other Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as required by Regulation G.

Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing

Mortgage Production Segment Loss

Mortgage Production segment loss in the first quarter of 2014 was $60 million, compared to a segment loss of $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a segment profit of $45 million in the first quarter of 2013. The greater segment loss during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to an 18% decline in IRLCs expected to close and a 22 bps decline in total loan margin. These declines were partially offset by reduced production expenses resulting from our actions to align capacity with expected origination volumes.

Mortgage Servicing Segment Loss

Mortgage Servicing segment loss in the first quarter of 2014 was $29 million, compared to a segment profit of $86 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a segment profit of $18 million in the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2014 segment loss included a $45 million unfavorable market-related fair value adjustment to our MSR, as mortgage interest rates declined in the quarter, and a $6 million net derivative gain related to MSRs. This compares to an $82 million favorable market-related fair value adjustment to our MSR and a $16 million net derivative loss related to MSRs in the first quarter of 2013. The reduction in MSR value for prepayments and recurring cash flows was $34 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $77 million in the first quarter of 2013. The downward trend in the reduction in MSR value for prepayments and recurring cash flows over the past few quarters reflects slower actual prepayment speeds.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

IRLCs expected to close of $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2014 declined 18% from the fourth quarter of 2013, reflecting a decline in consumer demand for mortgage loans and a continued shift in mix toward fee-based production. IRLCs expected to close declined 65% from the first quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting declining demand for refinancings attributable to rising interest rates and the aforementioned mix shift toward fee-based production.

Total Loan Margin

Total loan margin on IRLCs expected to close for the first quarter of 2014 was 291 bps, a 22 bps decrease from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 81 bps less than the first quarter of 2013. Margins continued their downward trend in the first quarter of 2014, reflecting declines in industry origination volumes, especially refinancing volumes, as mortgage interest rates remain at higher levels relative to recent quarters. Margins generally widen when mortgage interest rates decline and tighten when mortgage interest rates increase, as loan originators attempt to balance origination volume with operational capacity.

Mortgage Closing Volume

Total first quarter 2014 mortgage closings were $7.4 billion, down 22% from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 45% from the first quarter of 2013. Retail closings declined 22% from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 40% compared to the first quarter of 2013. Retail closings remained at 94% of total closings in the first quarter of 2014, reflecting our continued emphasis on our retail channels. Fee-based closings continued to trend higher in the first quarter of 2014, increasing to 65% of total closings. This was up from 61% of total closings in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 41% of total closings in the first quarter of 2013. The increased mix of fee-based closings has adversely affected the profitability of our Mortgage Production segment as the revenue per loan on fee-based closings is generally lower than the revenue per loan on saleable closings.

Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) of Mortgage Servicing Portfolio

At March 31, 2014, the UPB of our capitalized servicing portfolio was $127.2 billion, down 2% from December 31, 2013, and 7% from March 31, 2013. Although prepayments have declined over the past four quarters, they continue to exceed additions from new loan production.

At March 31, 2014, the UPB of our total loan servicing portfolio was $225.7 billion, representing a slight decrease from December 31, 2013, and a 24% increase from March 31, 2013. The year-over-year increase in our total loan servicing portfolio primarily reflects approximately $47 billion of subservicing UPB assumed in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by the aforementioned decline in the UPB of our capitalized servicing portfolio.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR)

At March 31, 2014, the book value of our MSR was $1.2 billion, representing a 96 bps capitalized servicing rate. That MSR book value was down 4% from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2013, which represented a 99 bps capitalized servicing rate, and up 11% from $1.1 billion at March 31, 2013, which represented an 80 bps capitalized servicing rate. During the first quarter of 2014, $25 million in MSR book value was added from loans sold, which was more than offset by a $45 million decrease in MSR book value due to market-related fair value adjustments, a $34 million decrease in MSR book value related to prepayments and the receipt of recurring cash flows, and a $1 million decrease in MSR book value from MSR sales.

Repurchase and Foreclosure-related Charges

Additions to the repurchase and foreclosure-related reserve during the first quarter of 2014 were solely attributable to new loan sales, and we did not record any repurchase and foreclosure-related charges during the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2013, repurchase and foreclosure-related charges were $15 million. Total repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves were $120 million at the end of the first quarter of 2014, compared to $142 million at the end of 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the estimated amount of reasonably possible losses associated with loan repurchases and indemnifications in excess of total repurchase and foreclosure-related reserves was $25 million, a $5 million decrease from the end of 2013, which relates to our estimate of foreclosure-related charges that may not be reimbursed pursuant to government mortgage insurance programs in the event we do not file insurance claims.

Fleet Management Services

Segment Profit

In the first quarter of 2014, Fleet Management Services segment profit was $21 million, down from a segment profit of $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and equal to segment profit in the first quarter of 2013. Comparing the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2013, an increase in truck lease syndication revenue from greater volumes, an increase in services revenue from growth in service unit counts in maintenance, fuel and accident management, and a decrease in interest expense were offset by higher cost of goods sold from truck lease syndications and higher operating expenses to support volume growth.

Fleet Leasing

Fleet lease income decreased $29 million in the first quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $11 million from the first quarter of 2013. The increase relative to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to increased truck lease syndication volume, which was partially offset by a decrease in the interest rate billed for leases. Net investment in fleet leases at the end of the first quarter of 2014 decreased slightly from the end of 2013 due to slightly lower average leased vehicle units, partially offset by a continued shift in the mix of our portfolio to more truck and service-type vehicles that have a higher initial capitalized cost.

Fleet Management Fees

Fleet management fees decreased $1 million in the first quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013 and increased $1 million from the first quarter of 2013. The increase relative to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to growth in services units in our three key ancillary service offerings – maintenance, fuel and accident management – and in higher usage of driver training services.

Liquidity Update

Liquidity at March 31, 2014, included $1.2 billion in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

As of March 31, 2014, we had no outstanding balances on our unsecured revolving credit facilities or our Canadian secured revolving credit facility.

* NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings or loss per share, adjusted cash flow, tangible book value and tangible book value per share are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. See Non-GAAP Reconciliations below for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as required by Regulation G.

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share involves differences from Segment profit or loss, Income or loss before income taxes, Net income or loss attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic earnings or loss per share attributable to PHH Corporation computed in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Segment profit (loss), Income (loss) before income taxes, Net income (loss) attributable to PHH Corporation or Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to PHH Corporation computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance.

Adjusted cash flow involves differences from Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted cash flow should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Tangible book value and tangible book value per share involve differences from Total PHH Corporation stockholders' equity computed in accordance with GAAP. Tangible book value and tangible book value per share should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, Total PHH Corporation stockholders' equity computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial position.

The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures can be useful to investors because they provide a means by which investors can evaluate the Company's underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period.

The Company also believes that any meaningful analysis of the Company's financial performance by investors requires an understanding of the factors that drive the Company's underlying operating performance which can be obscured by significant unrealized changes in value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights, as well as any gain or loss on derivatives that are intended to offset market-related fair value adjustments on the Company's mortgage servicing rights, in a given period that are included in Segment profit (loss), Income (loss) before income taxes, Net income (loss) attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to PHH Corporation in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share

Core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share measure the Company's financial performance excluding unrealized changes in fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights that are based upon projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments as well as realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivatives that are intended to offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. The changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and related derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates and are dependent upon the level of current and projected interest rates at the end of each reporting period.

Value lost from actual prepayments and recurring cash flows are recorded when actual cash payments or prepayments of the underlying loans are received, and are included in core earnings based on the current fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at the time the payments are received.

The presentation of core earnings is designed to more closely align the timing of recognizing the actual value lost from prepayments in the mortgage servicing segment with the associated value created through new originations in the mortgage production segment.

Core earnings metrics are used in managing the Company's mortgage business. The Company has also designed certain management incentives based upon the achievement of core earnings targets, subject to potential adjustments that may be made at the discretion of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Limitations on the use of Core Earnings

Since core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share measure the Company's financial performance excluding unrealized changes in value of mortgage servicing rights, such measures may not appropriately reflect the rate of value lost on subsequent actual payments or prepayments over time. As such, core earnings or loss (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings or loss per share may tend to overstate operating results in a declining interest rate environment and understate operating results in a rising interest rate environment, absent the effect of any offsetting gains or losses on derivatives that are intended to offset changes in fair value on the Company's mortgage servicing rights.

Adjusted cash flow

Adjusted cash flow measures the Company's Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for a given period excluding changes resulting from the issuance of equity, the purchase of derivative securities related to the Company's stock or the issuance or repayment of unsecured or other debt by PHH Corporation. The Company believes that Adjusted cash flow is a useful measure for investors because the Company's ability to repay future unsecured debt maturities or return capital to equity holders is highly dependent on a demonstrated ability to generate cash. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted cash flow may assist investors in determining the amount of cash and cash equivalents generated from business activities during a period that is available to repay unsecured debt or distribute to holders of the Company's equity.

Adjusted cash flow can be generated through a combination of earnings, more efficient utilization of asset-backed funding facilities, or an improved working capital position. Adjusted cash flow can vary significantly between periods based upon a variety of potential factors including, but not limited to, timing related to cash collateral postings, mortgage origination volumes and margins, fleet vehicle purchases, sales, and related securitizations.

Adjusted cash flow is not a substitute for the Net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for a period and is not intended to provide the Company's total sources and uses of cash or measure its change in liquidity. As such, it is important that investors review the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for a more detailed understanding of the drivers of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.

Adjusted cash flow metrics are used in managing the Company's mortgage and fleet businesses. The Company has also designed certain management incentives based upon the achievement of adjusted cash flow targets, subject to potential adjustments that may be made at the discretion of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Tangible book value and Tangible book value per share

Tangible book value is a measure of Total PHH Corporation stockholders' equity computed in accordance with GAAP excluding the value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is a measure of tangible book value, on a per share basis, using the number of shares of outstanding PHH Corporation common stock as of the applicable measurement date. Certain of the Company's debt agreements contain indebtedness-to-tangible net worth ratio covenants, and such ratios are calculated using a measure of tangible net worth that is calculated on a basis similar to the Company's calculation of tangible book value. Accordingly, the Company believes that tangible book value and tangible book value per share provide useful supplementary information to investors.
