1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

On May 31, 2013, Nationstar Mortgage LLC, Lewisville, Texas, purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Greenlight Financial Services (the “Company”) in a transaction accounted for as a business combination. The Company was formed in 2001 and operates as a national mortgage lender. The Company’s headquarters and main operations center are located in Irvine, California, with branches in San Diego, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. At March 31, 2013, the Company was licensed to originate loans in 43 states.

Nationstar Mortgage LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE: NSM).

The Company operates under approval from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to fund HUD-insured mortgages as a Title I and Title II “Nonsupervised mortgagee”. The Company was a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac’) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) seller and servicer, and recently gained Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) approval in October 2012.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules for interim financial statements established under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such interim GAAP; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2012 balances within these interim financial statements were derived from the audited 2012 financial statements and notes thereto. These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included herewith in Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc.’s Form 8-K. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent interim period or for the full year.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, among others, the valuation of loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, and derivative financial instruments. Actual amounts could materially differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Option

The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company has elected the fair value option for mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and mortgage loans held-for-sale. The Company hedges the relationship between forward loan sales commitments (hedging instrument) and fixed-rate loans (hedged item). Changes in fair value are recorded to operations and derivatives are reflected as assets or liabilities.

Concentrations

The Company currently maintains substantially all of its cash (including restricted cash) with several major financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

The Company originates real estate loans and generates revenues from the origination and sale of these loans. Although management closely monitors market conditions, such activity is sensitive to fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and the real estate markets. A majority of all properties securing the real estate loans held for sale are located in California. Current economic conditions in the California real estate market and/or increases in mortgage interest rates could have a future material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations.

Accounting Standards Update

ASU 2011-11

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU will enhance disclosures required by GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this ASU. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company has not determined the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

ASU 2013-01

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU amends ASU 2011-11 to clarify that the scope applies to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to master netting or similar arrangements. Other types of financial assets and liabilities subject to master netting or similar arrangements are not subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has not determined the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Mortgage Loans Held For Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale consists of single-family residential property mortgages having maturities up to 30 years. Pursuant to the mortgage terms, the borrowers have pledged the underlying real estate as collateral for the loans. It is the Company’s primary practice to sell all loans to mortgage loan purchasers shortly after they are funded, on both a servicing released and servicing retained basis. The Company entered into a “Subservicing Agreement” in 2012 with a subservicer to provide certain management and disposition services for the mortgage loan assets. The servicing retained mortgage loan assets (MSR portfolio) consist of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae loans.

Mortgage loans held for sale are accounted for using the fair value option, with changes in fair value recorded in gain on sale of mortgage loans. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, loan origination fees and expenses are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. Fair value of loans held for sale generally consists of the current market value of loans funded and held for sale to investors. As of March 31, 2013, all loans held for sale were allocated for sale to investors and fair value represents the value of the loan based on an actual commitment price with an investor.

At March 31, 2013, mortgage loans held for sale are summarized as follows:

 

Unpaid principal balance

   $ 225,448,253   

Mark to market adjustment

     10,170,226   
  

 

 

 

Mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value

   $ 235,618,479   
  

 

 

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)

The Company accounts for mortgage loan sales in accordance with FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Upon sale, the mortgage loans are removed from the balance sheet and mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are recorded as an asset if servicing rights are retained. A gain on sale, if applicable, is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the mortgage loan receivables and the sales proceeds, net of origination costs and market subservicing fees. The Company elected to measure MSRs at fair value as prescribed by FASB ASC 860-50-35, and as such, servicing assets or liabilities are valued using discounted cash flow modeling techniques using assumptions regarding future net servicing cash flow, including prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing cost and other factors. Changes in estimated fair value are reported in the accompanying statement of operations within mortgage banking revenues.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage banking revenues on the statement of operations include the premium from loan sales, the mark to market gain on mortgage loans held for sale, the realized and unrealized gain/loss on derivative interest rate hedging instruments, gain/loss servicing released premiums (“SRP”), gain/loss price adjustments, unrealized gain/loss on interest rate lock commitment derivatives, and the provision for repurchase claims on previously sold loans.

The Company recognizes gains on mortgage loans held for sale based upon changes in the fair value and when such loans are sold. Per FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, a transfer of financial assets in which the transferor surrenders control over those assets is accounted for as a sale. The transferor has surrendered control over transferred assets if and only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor (put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership); (b) each transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor; and (c) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through either (1) an agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (2) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.

As such, the loans receivable and corresponding warehouse financing borrowings are removed from the balance sheet at the time of transfer with gains and/or losses recorded to current earnings based on the original “take-out” price commitment.

The Company also generates revenues from interest income on mortgage loans that it originates. The revenues realized are based on the loan amount multiplied by the contractual interest rate from the time of funding by the Company through the time of sale. These revenues are recognized as earned during the period from funding to sale. The Company does not recognize interest income on any loan which is delinquent for greater than ninety days with respect to its monthly contractual principal and interest payment.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair Value of Measurements

The Company follows the Fair Value Measurements Guidance FASB ASC 820-10, which requires, among other things, a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced parameters, including but not limited to yield curves, interest rates, volatilities and credit curves. In addition to market information, models also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity of the instrument(s). Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, constraints on liquidity and unobservable parameters. Valuation adjustments are applied consistently by the Company over time.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as an “S” Corporation for both federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for federal income taxes because the income tax liability is that of the individual stockholders. The state tax treatment is substantially the same as the federal, except for a 3.5% tax imposed by California on the Company’s taxable income, plus various other state taxes imposed by the states where the Company transacts its business. Deferred state tax assets and liabilities were not significant at March 31, 2013.

Repurchase Claims and Risks and Uncertainties

The Company sells loans to investors without recourse and retains loan servicing with an approved sub-servicer on a small portfolio of originations. As such, these purchasers have assumed the risk of loss or default by the borrower. However, the Company is generally required by these investors to make certain representations and warranties such as, but not limited to; credit information, loan documentation and collateral. To the extent that the Company breaches such representations and warranties, the Company may be required to repurchase the loans and/or indemnify these investors for any losses from future borrower defaults. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company, either repurchased loans at the price sold to the investor or negotiated settlement agreements in

lieu of repurchasing loans, or indemnified the investor. The Company did not incur settlements during the period ended March 31, 2013. The Company accrues a loan loss reserve on each funded loan against any future loan repurchases, settlements and/or indemnification agreements. Repurchased loans are evaluated at time of repurchase for purposes of determining fair market value and carrying value on the balance sheet. The Company also assesses whether such repurchased loans can be cured with respect to payment default issues or whether the loan has the ability to be resold at a later date.

Repurchased loans which have been determined to be non-saleable or cannot be cured for which fair market value is materially less than cost, are charged against the repurchase reserve.

Repurchased loans which are likely to be sold at a later date or cured are recorded as an addition to mortgage loans held for sale.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records its derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The derivatives used by the Company are interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and certain hedge instruments, which are primarily ‘‘to be announced mortgage-backed securities’’ (‘‘TBA MBS’’) and mandatory delivery contracts (collectively the “Hedges”). The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the statement of operations as a component of mortgage banking revenue.

The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers to originate mortgage loans that will be held for sale. These commitments are accounted for as derivatives under FASB ASC 820. In the IRLC, the Company agrees to extend credit to a prospective borrower under certain specified terms and conditions at a specified rate, regardless of whether interest rates change in the market. IRLCs do not bind the potential borrower to obtain the loan, nor do they guarantee that the Company will approve the loan once the creditworthiness has been determined. Loans in process with IRLCs at March 31, 2013 approximated $1,187,000, consisting of 4,509 loans.

The Company is at risk for potential changes in the value of that IRLC. To mitigate the risk of increases in interest rates affecting its IRLCs and unsold mortgage loans held for sale, the Company enters into Hedges. Because the potential borrower is not bound to obtain the loan, the Company uses a formula to determine the probability of a loan to fund and adjusts the Hedge amounts accordingly to appropriately mitigate any change in value of the loan. As of March 31, 2013, the Company entered into hedge coverage for approximately 81% of the IRLCs and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these interim financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price if one exists.

The Company’s balance of mortgage loans held for sale is subject to changes in fair value, due to fluctuations in interest rates from the loan funding date through the date of sale of the loan into the secondary market. Typically, the fair value of the portfolio of loans held for sale declines in value when interest rates increase and rises in value when interest rates decrease. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 (there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis) were:

The following is a description of the measurement techniques for items recorded at estimated fair value on a recurring basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – The Company elected to carry all of its mortgage servicing rights at fair value. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based upon an internal discounted cash flow model. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating the fair value of servicing. These assumptions include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late fees, among other considerations. Mortgage servicing rights are considered a Level 3 measurement at March 31, 2013.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – The Company elected to carry its mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. Given the meaningful level of secondary market activity for conforming mortgage loans, active pricing is available for similar assets and accordingly, the Company classifies its mortgage loans held for sale as a Level 2 measurement at March 31, 2013.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities – The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP and are accounted for as free standing derivatives. The derivative assets are IRLCs with prospective residential mortgage borrowers whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the borrowers have locked in that interest rate. These commitments are determined to be derivative instruments. The derivative liabilities are forward sold mortgage backed securities (TBA MBS) used to hedge the fair value changes associated with changes in interest rates relating to its mortgage loan origination operations. The Company hedges the period from the interest rate lock (assuming a fall-out factor) to the date of the loan sale. The estimated fair value of TBA MBS is based on current market prices for similar instruments. Active pricing is available for similar TBA MBS and accordingly Company classifies its TBA MBS derivative liabilities as a Level 2 measurement at March 31, 2013. For IRLCs, the value if derived from the value of similar loan instruments, however the Company must assess and appropriate fall-out factor and accordingly, the Company classifies its IRLC derivative assets as a Level 3 measurement at March 31, 2013.

The following table includes information pertaining to the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities, as of March 31, 2013, and for the quarter then ended:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

In the normal course of business, companies in the mortgage banking industry encounter certain economic and regulatory risks. Economic risks include interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk and regulatory risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that in a rising interest rate environment, the Company will generally experience a decrease in loan production, which will negatively impact the Company’s operations. Credit risk is the risk of default, primarily in the Company’s loan portfolio, that results from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the liquidity of the secondary loan markets which impacts the value of loans held for sale and in commitments to originate loans. Regulatory risks include administrative enforcement actions and/or civil or criminal liability resulting from the Company’s failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s business.
