EXPLANATORY NOTE
      Countrywide Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Form 10-Q/A to restate certain information in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 (the “Form 10-Q”). This restatement, which the Company announced on February 22, 2005, is a result of the Company’s determination to revise the timing for recognition of gains from certain securitizations that occurred during 2003 and 2004 and to reconsolidate mortgage loans held for sale and asset-backed secured financings in special purpose entities (“SPEs”) that temporarily do not meet the conditions as qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”) under SFAS 140. See Note 2 — “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding this restatement and a summary of the impact of this restatement on the Company’s financial statements. Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been restated to reflect the restated financial numbers. Item 4 — Controls and Procedures has also been amended. The Form 10-Q has not been amended in any other respect except for certain minor conforming changes.
      The financial statements and related financial information for the affected periods contained in our prior Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 should no longer be relied upon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (the “2003 Annual Report”) for Countrywide Financial Corporation (“Countrywide”) and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Company.”
      As more fully discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Implementation of New Accounting Standards,” included in the consolidated financial statements of the 2003 Annual Report, the Company implemented an amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. FIN 46R requires that Countrywide no longer include certain subsidiary trusts in its consolidated reporting group. The effects of this pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements are that the consolidated balance sheets:
  •  Exclude the trust preferred securities issued by the subsidiary trusts, formerly reflected in a separate mezzanine category on the consolidated balance sheets,
 
  •  Include the junior subordinated debentures issued by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“CHL”) and the Company to the subsidiary trusts, currently reflected in Notes Payable, and
 
  •  Include CHL’s and the Company’s investments in the subsidiary trusts, currently reflected in Other Assets.
      On April 12, 2004, the Company completed a 3-for-2 stock split effected as a stock dividend. On August 30, 2004, the Company completed a 2-for-1 stock split effected as a stock dividend. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to the number of common shares and earnings per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly.
      Certain amounts reflected in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 2 — Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
      Throughout 2004 and 2003, Countrywide created certain mortgage-backed securities which were underwritten by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company, Countrywide Securities Corporation (“CSC”). Some of these securities contained embedded derivatives designed to protect rated security holders from extreme changes in short-term interest rates and/or to enhance the credit rating of the securities. At the end of each quarter in 2004 and at June 30, 2003, a small amount of these securities had not yet been sold by CSC. In all cases, the remaining securities were sold in the normal course of business shortly after quarter end. Countrywide believed that recording these transactions as sales fully complied with all applicable accounting principles. Subsequently it was determined that all securities that contained embedded derivatives needed to have been completely sold before any portion of the gain on sale could be recognized. In light of this information, the Company revised its recognition for gain on sale accordingly.
      The restatement resulted in the Company reversing the gain on sale that had been recorded at the time of securitization, and recording the related loans and liabilities on its books. In addition, the residual interests recorded at the time of securitization were also eliminated. The gain on sale, creation of the residual interests

(Unaudited)
and the corresponding reduction in the loans and liabilities were recorded when all of the securities that contain embedded derivatives had been sold.
      In addition, CSC may reacquire beneficial interests previously sold to outside third parties in the Company’s securitization transaction. In the event that such securities include protection by a derivative financial instrument held by a special purpose entity (“SPE”), that SPE no longer meets the conditions as a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) under SFAS 140. As a result, mortgage loans held for sale and asset-backed secured financings are included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for the period of time such securities are held by CSC. The reconsolidation of the assets and liabilities does not result in any change in the income statement. See Note 4 — “Mortgage Loans Held for Sale” and Note 13 — “Notes Payable — Asset-Backed Secured Financings.
      As a result of the items discussed above, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, the consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the consolidated statement of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 have been restated.

Subsequent Adjustment to Number of Common Shares and Earnings Per Share Amounts
      In the fourth quarter of 2004 the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-8 (“EITF 04-08”), which required the Company to include the assumed conversion of its convertible debentures in diluted earnings per share.
      This event occurred subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004. Therefore, except for the table below, all references in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of earnings and notes to consolidated financial statements to the number of common shares and earnings per share amounts have not been restated to reflect the implementation of EITF 04-08. The following table presents earnings per share and number of common shares restated for the implementation of EITF 04-08.

(1)  Adjusted to reflect subsequent implementation of EITF 04-08, which required the Company to include the assumed conversion of its convertible debentures in earnings per share.
Note 3 — Earnings Per Share
      Basic earnings per share is determined using net earnings divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.
      As more fully discussed in Note 11 — Notes Payable, the Company has outstanding debentures convertible into common stock of the Company upon the stock reaching certain specified levels, or if the credit ratings of the debentures drop below investment grade. At September 30, 2004, the conditions providing the holders of the debentures the right to convert their securities to shares of common stock during the quarter ending December 31, 2004, had been met as a result of the Company’s stock price attaining a specified level. These conditions had also been met as of March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Therefore, the effect of conversion of the debentures was included in the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the conditions providing the holders of the debentures the right to convert their securities had not been met and the effect of conversion of the securities was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for those periods.

Stock-Based Compensation
      The Company grants stock options and restricted stock to eligible employees. The Company’s stock option awards are generally for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its stock option plans only to the extent that the fair value of the shares at the grant date exceeds the exercise price. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its restricted stock grants based on the fair value of the shares awarded on the date that the shares are awarded. The fair value of the grants are amortized over the vesting period.

      The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that has been modified to consider cash dividends to be paid. To determine periodic compensation expense for purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the fair value of each stock option grant is amortized over the vesting period. The weighted-average assumptions used to value the stock options granted during the following periods and the resulting average estimated values are as follows:
                                   
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
    September 30,   September 30,

  $ 12.03     $ 4.77     $ 10.66     $ 4.45  
      During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, options to purchase 13,500 and 141,856 shares, respectively, of stock were not included in the computation of earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, options totaling 4,343,752 and 4,355,752 shares were anti-dilutive.
Note 4 — Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
      CSC may reacquire beneficial interests previously sold to outside third parties in the Company’s securitization transactions. In the event that such securities include protection by a derivative financial instrument held by an SPE, that SPE no longer meets the conditions as a QSPE under SFAS 140. As a result,

mortgage loans held for sale and asset-backed secured financings are included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for the period of time such securities are held by CSC. The assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. Once the securities that include protection by a derivative financial instrument are sold, typically in less than 90 days, the conditions necessary for QSPE status under SFAS 140 are again met and the related assets and liabilities are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 13 — “Notes Payable — Asset-Backed Secured Financings.”
      Mortgage loans held for sale includes mortgage loans originated or purchased for resale together with mortgage loans held in SPEs used in the Company’s securitization transactions, net of related retained interests which temporarily do not meet the conditions necessary for QSPE status under SFAS 140 (“Mortgage Loans held in SPEs”).
      Mortgage Loans Held in SPEs used in the Company’s securitization transactions are initially recorded at fair value upon reconsolidation.

      The estimated fair values of mortgage servicing rights were $8.2 billion and $6.9 billion as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
      For purposes of performing its MSR impairment evaluation, the Company stratifies its servicing portfolio on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type (fixed-rate or adjustable-rate) and note rate. Reflecting a shift in the Company’s portfolio towards lower note rates, the impairment strata have been revised such that fixed-rate loans are stratified into note rate pools of fifty basis points for note rates between 5% and 8%, and single pools for note rates above 8% and below 5%. This revision did not have a significant impact on the MSR valuation allowance.
      The following table summarizes the Company’s estimate of amortization of the existing MSRs for the five-year period ending September 30, 2009. This projection was developed using the assumptions made by management in its September 30, 2004 valuation of MSRs. The assumptions underlying the following estimate will be affected as market conditions and portfolio composition and behavior change, causing both actual and projected amortization levels to change over time. Therefore, the following estimates will change in a manner and amount not presently determinable by management.

      At September 30, 2004, the Company had pledged $1.5 billion of securities broker-dealer receivables to secure securities sold under repurchase agreements.
Note 12 —  Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
      The Company routinely enters into short-term financing arrangements to sell securities under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by mortgage loans and securities. All securities underlying repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping by broker-dealers or banks. All agreements are to repurchase the same, or substantially identical, securities.
      At September 30, 2004, repurchase agreements were secured by $11.9 billion of securities purchased under agreements to resell; $10.0 billion of trading securities; $1.9 billion of investments in other financial instruments; $1.5 billion of other assets and $1.2 billion of mortgage loans held for sale. As of September 30, 2004, $3.7 billion of the pledged securities purchased under agreements to resell and $0.6 billion of the pledged investments in other financial instruments related to amounts offset against securities sold under agreements to repurchase pursuant to master netting agreements.

(Unaudited)
      As of September 30, 2004, $3.5 billion of foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes were outstanding. Such notes are denominated in Japanese Yen, Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, and Euros. These notes have been effectively converted to U.S. dollars through currency swaps.
Asset-Backed Secured Financings
      The Company has recorded certain securitization transactions as secured borrowings as of September 30, 2004 because they do not qualify for sales treatment under SFAS 140 at that date. These secured borrowings amounted to $7.7 billion at September 30, 2004. The Company had pledged $7.7 billion of mortgage loans held for sale to secure such borrowings.
      In addition, CSC may reacquire beneficial interests previously sold to outside third parties in the Company’s securitization transactions. In the event that such securities include protection by a derivative financial instrument held by an SPE, that SPE no longer meets the conditions as a QSPE under SFAS 140. As a result, the mortgage loans held for sale and asset-backed secured financings are included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are initially recorded at fair value. Once the securities that include protection by a derivative financial instrument are sold, typically in less than 90 days, the conditions necessary for QSPE status under SFAS 140 are again met and the related assets and liabilities are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2004, such asset-backed secured financings in the amount of $6.9 billion had been recorded because some of the related beneficial interests that included protection by a derivative financial instrument had been reacquired. The Company had pledged the related $6.9 billion of mortgage loans held for sale to secure such borrowings.
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper
      In April 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“Park Granada”) for the purpose of issuing commercial paper in the form of short-term Secured Liquidity Notes (“SLNs”) to finance certain of its Mortgage Loan Inventory. Park Granada issues SLNs with maturities of up to 180 days, extendable to 300 days. The SLNs bear interest at prevailing money market rates approximating LIBOR. Park Granada’s funding capacity, based on aggregate commitments from underlying credit enhancers, was $18.2 billion at September 30, 2004. The Company has pledged $6.2 billion in Mortgage Loan Inventory to secure the SLNs issued at September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the average borrowings of Park Granada totaled $12.9 billion, and the weighted average interest rate of the SLNs was 1.3%. At September 30, 2004, the average interest rate of the SLNs outstanding was 1.7%.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
      During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company obtained $5.2 billion of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Of this total, $3.4 billion bear variable interest rates and

Junior Subordinated Debentures
      As more fully discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Implementation of New Accounting Standards,” included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements of the 2003 Annual Report, the FASB issued FIN 46R in December 2003. As a result of the adoption of FIN 46R, the company-obligated capital securities of subsidiary trusts are no longer reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but have been replaced on the Company’s balance sheet by the junior subordinated debentures issued to the subsidiary trusts by CHL and the Company.
      The Company guarantees CHL’s indebtedness to two of the subsidiary trusts, Countrywide Capital I and Countrywide Capital III, which are excluded from the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Following is summarized information for those trusts:

LYONs Convertible Debentures and Convertible Securities
      In February 2001, the Company issued zero-coupon Liquid Yield Option Notes (“LYONs”) with an aggregate face value of $675 million, or $1,000 per note, due February 8, 2031. The LYONs were issued at a discount to yield 1.0% to maturity, or 8.25% to the first call date. Under certain conditions, the LYONs are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the rate of 46.3 shares per $1,000 note.
      In September 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer, through which LYONs were exchanged for convertible securities with terms similar to the LYONs, except for a provision to allow settlement in cash

and stock upon the debentures’ conversion. $637.2 million or 94.7% of the outstanding LYONs were tendered in the exchange. During the period from September 30, 2004 through November 4, 2004, $563.5 million of the convertible securities were surrendered for conversion by the security holders.

Note 15 —  Derivative Instruments and Risk Management Activities
      The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk. From an enterprise perspective, the Company manages interest rate risk through the natural counterbalance of its loan production and servicing businesses. The Company also uses derivatives and other financial instruments to manage the interest rate risk related specifically to its committed pipeline, mortgage loan inventory and MBS held for sale, MSRs and other retained interests, trading securities, and its long-term debt. The overall objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates.
      The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. These instruments include MBS mandatory forward sale and purchase commitments, options to sell or buy MBS, Treasury and Eurodollar rate futures and options thereon, interest rate floors, interest rate caps, capped swaps, swaptions, and interest rate swaps. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate and credit risk.
      The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk, which arises from the issuance of foreign currency-denominated debt, with foreign currency swaps.
Risk Management Activities Related to Mortgage Loan Inventory and Interest Rate Lock Commitments
      The Company is exposed to price risk from the time an interest rate lock commitment (“IRLC”) is made to a mortgage applicant (or financial intermediary) to the time the related mortgage loan is sold. During this period, the Company is exposed to losses if mortgage rates rise, because the value of the IRLC or mortgage loan declines. To manage this price risk, the Company utilizes derivatives, primarily forward sales of MBS and options to buy and sell MBS, as well as options on Treasury futures contracts. Certain of these instruments qualify as “fair value” hedges of mortgage loans under SFAS 133.
      During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the risk management activities connected with 77% of the fixed-rate mortgage inventory and 22% of the adjustable-rate mortgage inventory were accounted for as “fair value” hedges. The Company recognized pre-tax losses of $121.0 million and $30.8 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of its mortgage inventory, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These amounts, along with the change in the fair value of the

27


Table of Contents

COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
derivative instruments that were not designated as hedge instruments, are included in gain on sale of loans and securities in the statement of earnings.
      IRLCs are derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings (as a component of gain on sale of loans and securities). Because IRLCs are derivatives under SFAS 133, the risk management activities related to the IRLCs do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. The “freestanding” derivative instruments that are used to manage the interest rate risk associated with the IRLCs are marked to fair value and recorded as a component of gain on sale of loans in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Risk Management Activities Related to Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) and Other Retained Interests
      MSRs and other retained interests, specifically interest-only securities and residual securities, are generally subject to a loss in value, or impairment, when mortgage interest rates decline. To moderate the effect of impairment on earnings, the Company maintains a portfolio of financial instruments, including derivatives, which increase in aggregate value when interest rates decline. This portfolio of financial instruments is collectively referred to as the “Servicing Hedge.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, none of the derivative instruments included in the Servicing Hedge were designated as hedges under SFAS 133. The change in fair value of these derivative instruments was recorded in current period earnings as a component of Servicing Hedge gains and losses.
      The financial instruments that comprise the Servicing Hedge include options on interest rate futures, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate futures and Treasury securities. With respect to the options on interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, the Company is not exposed to loss beyond its initial outlay to acquire the hedge instruments plus any unrealized gains recognized to date. With respect to the interest rate futures contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2004, the Company estimates that its maximum exposure to loss over the various contractual terms is $223 million. Although this estimate could be exceeded, the Company derives its estimates of loss exposure based upon observed volatilities in the interest rate options market. Using the currently observed volatilities, management estimates, to a 95% confidence level, the maximum potential rate changes over a one-year time horizon. Management then estimates the Company’s exposure to loss based on the estimated maximum adverse rate change as of the measurement date.
      The following table summarizes the notional amounts of derivative contracts included in the Servicing Hedge.

Risk Management Activities Related to Issuance of Long-Term Debt
      The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts which enable it to convert a portion of its fixed-rate, long-term debt to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating-rate debt and to enable the Company to convert a portion of its foreign currency-denominated fixed and floating-rate, long-term debt to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating-rate debt. These transactions are designated as “fair value” hedges under SFAS 133. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.0 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of debt. These amounts are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings.
      In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts which enable it to convert a portion of its floating-rate, long-term debt to fixed-rate, long-term debt and to convert a portion of its foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate, long-term debt to U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt. These transactions are designed as “cash flow” hedges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million and a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million, respectively, representing the ineffective portion of such cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2004, deferred net gains or losses on derivative instruments included in other comprehensive income that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are not material.
Risk Management Activities Related to the Broker-Dealer Securities Trading Portfolio
      In connection with its broker-dealer activities, the Company maintains a trading portfolio of fixed income securities, primarily MBS. The Company is exposed to price changes in its trading portfolio arising from interest rate changes during the period it holds the securities. To manage this risk, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments. These instruments include MBS mandatory forward sale and purchase commitments as well as short sales of cash market U.S. Treasury securities, futures contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and swaptions. All such derivatives are accounted for as “free-standing” and as such are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings as a component of gain on sale of loans and securities.
Note 16 —  Segments and Related Information
      The Company has five business segments — Mortgage Banking, Capital Markets, Banking, Insurance, and Global Operations.
      The Mortgage Banking Segment is comprised of three distinct sectors: Loan Production, Loan Servicing, and Loan Closing Services.
      The Loan Production Sector of the Mortgage Banking Segment originates prime and subprime mortgage loans through a variety of channels on a national scale. Through the Company’s retail branch network, which consists of the Consumer Markets Division and Full Spectrum Lending, Inc., the Company sources mortgage loans directly from consumers, as well as through real estate agents and home builders. The Wholesale Lending Division sources mortgage loans primarily from mortgage brokers. The Correspondent Lending Division acquires mortgage loans from other financial institutions. The Loan Servicing Sector of the Mortgage Banking Segment includes investments in MSRs and other retained interests, as well as the Company’s loan servicing operations and subservicing for other domestic financial institutions. The Loan Closing Services Sector of the Mortgage Banking Segment is comprised of the LandSafe companies, which provide credit reports, appraisals, title reports and flood determinations to the Company’s Loan Production Sector, as well as to third parties.

(Unaudited)
      The Capital Markets Segment primarily includes the operations of Countrywide Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer specializing in the mortgage securities market. In addition, it includes the operations of Countrywide Asset Management Corporation, Countrywide Servicing Exchange and CCM International Ltd.
      The Banking Segment’s operations are primarily comprised of Treasury Bank, National Association (“Treasury Bank” or the “Bank”), and Countrywide Warehouse Lending. Treasury Bank invests primarily in mortgage loans sourced from the Loan Production Sector. Countrywide Warehouse Lending provides temporary financing secured by mortgage loans to third-party mortgage bankers.
      The Insurance Segment activities include Balboa Life and Casualty Group, a national provider of property, life, and liability insurance; Balboa Reinsurance Company, a primary mortgage reinsurance company; and Countrywide Insurance Services, Inc., a national insurance agency offering a specialized menu of insurance products directly to consumers.
      The Global Operations Segment includes Global Home Loans Limited, a provider of loan origination processing and loan sub-servicing in the United Kingdom; UK Valuation Limited, a provider of property valuation services in the UK; and Countrywide International Technology Holdings Limited, a licensor of loan origination processing, servicing, and residential real estate value assessment technology.
      In general, intercompany transactions are recorded on an arm’s-length basis. However, the fulfillment fees paid by the Bank to the Production Sector for origination costs incurred on mortgage loans funded by the Bank is determined on an incremental cost basis, which is less than the fees that the Bank would pay to third parties.
      Included in the tables below labeled “Other” are the holding company activities, elimination entries and certain reclassifications to conform management reporting to the consolidated financial statements:

Note 17 — Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements
      In connection with the acquisition of Treasury Bank, the Company became a bank holding company. As a result, the Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company is also subject to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae net worth requirements, which are lower than those of the Federal Reserve system.
      Regulatory capital is assessed for adequacy by three measures: Tier 1 Leverage Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital. Tier 1 Leverage Capital includes common shareholders’ equity, preferred stock and capital securities that meet certain guidelines detailed in the capital regulations, less goodwill, the portion of MSRs not includable in regulatory capital and other adjustments. Tier 1 Leverage Capital is measured with respect to average assets during the quarter. The Company is required to have a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized and 5.0% to be considered well capitalized.
      The Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio is calculated as a percent of risk-weighted assets at the end of the quarter. The Company is required to have a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio of 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized and 6.0% to be considered well capitalized.
      Total Risk-Based Capital includes preferred stock and capital securities excluded from Tier 1 Capital, mandatory convertible debt, and subordinated debt that meets certain regulatory criteria. The Total Risk-Based Capital ratio is calculated as a percent of risk-weighted assets at the end of the quarter. The Company is required to have a Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of 8.0% to be considered adequately capitalized and 10.0% to be considered well capitalized.

Note 18 — Legal Proceedings
      Countrywide and certain subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings involving matters generally incidental to their businesses. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, management believes, based on discussions with counsel, that any ultimate liability will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Note 19 — Subsequent Events
      On October 20, 2004, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per common share, payable November 30, 2004 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2004.
      During the period from September 30, 2004 through November 4, 2004, convertible securities with a recorded value of $563.5 million were surrendered for conversion by security holders.

included in the Company’s deposit liabilities, with the remaining balances held by other depository institutions. These custodial accounts arise in connection with the Company’s mortgage servicing activities.
Note 22 — Loan Commitments
      As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had undisbursed home equity lines of credit commitments of $5.1 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, as well as undisbursed construction loan commitments of $559.3 million and $509.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2004, outstanding interest rate lock commitments related to mortgage loan applications in process totaled $33.6 billion.
Note 23 — Pension Plan
      The Company has a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all of its employees. The Company’s policy is to contribute the amount actuarially determined to be necessary to pay the benefits under the Plan, and in no event to pay less than the amount necessary to meet the minimum funding standards of ERISA.
      On September 13, 2004, the Company made the maximum tax deductible pension plan contribution of $46.9 million for the plan year 2003.
Note 24 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB reached consensus opinions regarding the determination of whether an investment is considered impaired, whether the identified impairment is considered other-than-temporary, how to measure other-than-temporary impairment, and how to disclose unrealized losses on investments that are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The consensus opinions, detailed in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments,” add to the Company’s impairment assessment requirements detailed in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The Company has included the new disclosure requirements in its 2003 Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. Adoption of the new measurement requirements has been delayed by the FASB pending reconsideration of implementation guidance relating to debt securities that are impaired solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads. The implementation of these consensuses is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or earnings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A represents an update to the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included in our 2003 Annual Report. As such, you should read our 2003 Annual Report to obtain an informed understanding of the following discussions.
      As described in the “Explanatory Note” introduction to the Form 10-Q/A, this Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate the Company’s results to record gains in the proper periods and to reconsolidate mortgage loans held for sale and asset-backed secured financing in SPEs that temporarily do not meet the conditions as QSPEs under SFAS 140. All references in the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to the restated amounts have been adjusted accordingly.
Stock Splits Effected as Stock Dividends
      In April 2004 and August 2004, respectively, we completed a 3-for-2 and 2-for-1 stock split affected as stock dividends. All references in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to the number of common shares and earnings per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly.
Overview
      Countrywide’s core business is residential mortgage banking. In recent years, we have expanded into related businesses to capitalize on meaningful opportunities to leverage our core business and to provide sources of earnings that are less cyclical than mortgage banking. We classify our businesses into five business segments — Mortgage Banking, Capital Markets, Banking, Insurance and Global Operations.
      The mortgage banking business continues to be the primary source of our revenues and earnings. As a result, the primary influence on our operating results is the demand for mortgage loans in the U.S., which is affected by such external factors as prevailing mortgage rates and the strength of the U.S. housing market.
      To date in 2004, the interest rate environment has been somewhat volatile and generally rates are higher than those prevailing in 2003. In 2004, U.S. mortgage production has been substantially reduced from 2003 due to a decline in mortgage refinance activity resulting from higher interest rates. Forecasters currently estimate 2004 U.S. mortgage production to be approximately $2.6 trillion, down from an estimated $3.8 trillion in 2003.
      The level of U.S. mortgage production in 2004 has been profitable for our loan production business, although increased competitive pressures have impacted the profitability of that business. We expect the increased competition to continue into the fourth quarter of 2004. The decline in mortgage refinance activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, positively impacted our investment in mortgage servicing rights, causing a significant improvement in the results of our loan servicing business.
      A decline in mortgage production generally results in a reduction in mortgage securities trading and underwriting volume. A reduction in mortgage trading volumes and margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 had a negative impact on the profitability of our Capital Markets Segment.
      Total U.S. residential mortgage loan originations were approximately $655 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of approximately $515 billion, or 44%, from the year-ago period (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance). During this same time period our production volume decreased 27%. This decline in production volume, coupled with a significant decrease in loan margins from the unusually high levels realized in the third quarter of last year, resulted in a 71% decrease in earnings from our Mortgage Banking Segment. Overall, our net earnings were $498.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $716.9 million, or 59%, from the year-ago period. The high refinance volume and level and movement of interest rates during the year-ago quarter resulted in profit levels that are not easily repeatable.
      The principal market risk we face is interest rate risk — the risk that the value of our assets or liabilities or our net interest income will change due to changes in interest rates. We manage this risk primarily through the natural counterbalance of our loan production operations and our investment in mortgage servicing rights, as well as through the use of various financial instruments including derivatives. The overall objective of our interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates.

Table of Contents

      We also face credit risk, primarily related to our residential mortgage production activities. Credit risk is the potential for financial loss resulting from the failure of a mortgagor or an institution to honor its contractual obligations to us. We manage mortgage credit risk principally by securitizing substantially all mortgage loans that we produce, and by only retaining high credit quality mortgages in our loan portfolio.
      Our liquidity and financing requirements are significant. We meet these requirements in a variety of ways including use of the public corporate debt and equity markets, mortgage and asset-backed securities markets, and through the financing activities of our bank. The objective of our liquidity management is to ensure that sufficient diverse and reliable sources of cash are available to meet our funding needs on a cost-effective basis. Our ability to raise financing at the level and cost required to compete effectively is dependent on maintaining our high credit standing, which is evidenced primarily by our credit ratings.
      The mortgage industry has undergone rapid consolidation in recent years and we expect this trend to continue in the future. Today the industry is dominated by large, sophisticated financial institutions. To compete effectively in the future, we will be required to maintain a high level of operational, technological and managerial expertise, as well as an ability to attract capital at a competitive cost. We believe that we will benefit from industry consolidation through increased market share and more rational price competition.
      Countrywide is a diversified financial services company, with mortgage banking at its core. Our goal is to be the leader in the mortgage banking business in the future. We plan to leverage our position in mortgage banking to grow our related businesses.
Critical Accounting Policies
      The accounting policies that have the greatest impact on our financial condition and results of operations and that require the most judgment are those relating to our mortgage securitization activities, the ongoing valuation of retained interests, particularly Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”), that arise from those activities, and interest rate risk management activities. Our critical accounting policies involve accounting for gains on sales of loans and securities, the valuation of MSRs and other retained interests, and accounting for our derivatives and interest rate risk management activities. These policies are described in further detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Results of Operations Comparison — Quarters Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
Consolidated Earnings Performance
      Net earnings were $498.1 million, a 59% decrease from the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Our diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $0.80, a 62% decrease from diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The decline in our earnings was driven by a decrease in the profitability of our Loan Production Sector. This decrease resulted from lower Prime Mortgage Loan production and sales combined with a compression in margins, which were caused by higher mortgage interest rates, increased price competition, increased demand for lower-margin adjustable-rate mortgages and higher loan origination costs.
      Increased sales of higher-margin Subprime Mortgage and Home Equity Loans positively impacted Loan Production Sector pre-tax earnings, which were $496.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $1,104.0 million from the year-ago period.
      The pre-tax loss in the Loan Servicing Sector, which incorporates the performance of our MSRs and other retained interests, was $22.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a decline of $96.3 million from the year-ago period. This decline in profitability was primarily attributable to the change in the direction of interest rates during the respective periods. Interest rates declined during the current quarter, resulting in MSR impairment and amortization, net of Servicing Hedge gains, of $598.7 million. Rising interest rates in the third quarter of last year resulted in MSR impairment recovery, which when combined with the Servicing Hedge loss and amortization for the quarter amounted to $435.8 million.
      The Mortgage Banking Segment produced pre-tax earnings of $496.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of 71% from the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

      Our Diversified Businesses also were significant contributors to the earnings performance in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. In particular, our Banking Segment recorded pre-tax earnings of $163.2 million, an increase in earnings of $78.7 million over the year-ago quarter, driven primarily by growth in mortgage loans held by Treasury Bank. The increase in the Banking Segment’s pre-tax earnings was partially offset by a decline in the Capital Markets Segment’s earnings, which declined $44.9 million. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the size of the overall mortgage market, which resulted in a decline in securities trading margins and reduced conduit activities. In total, Diversified Businesses contributed $290.7 million in pre-tax earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 13% from the year-ago period.

Mortgage Banking Segment
      The Mortgage Banking Segment includes the Loan Production, Loan Servicing and Loan Closing Services Sectors.
Loan Production Sector
      The Loan Production Sector produces mortgage loans through the three production divisions of Countrywide Home Loans (“CHL”) — Consumer Markets, Wholesale Lending and Correspondent Lending, as well as through Full Spectrum Lending, Inc. (“FSLI”).

      Decreased demand for residential mortgages from the historic levels experienced in the third quarter of 2003 resulted in lower production volume in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The resulting decline in our production was partially offset by an increase in our market share from the year-ago period. Our mortgage loan production market share was 14% in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, up from 11% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance).
      Revenues declined over the year-ago period due primarily to a reduction in production and sales volume and margins of Prime Mortgage Loans. Sales of Prime Mortgage Loans were $65.0 billion in the current quarter compared to $109.5 billion in the year-ago quarter. Prime Mortgage Loan margins declined significantly from the unusually high levels realized in the third quarter of 2003. We attribute the decline in margins to increased price competition caused by the significant reduction in refinance activity, as well as to the shift in consumer preference towards adjustable rate mortgages, which generally carry lower margins than 30 year fixed rate mortgages. The decline in prime revenues was partially offset by increased production and sales of higher margin Subprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans. Sales of Subprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans were $17.5 billion in the current quarter compared to $4.1 billion in the year-ago quarter.
      Operating expenses increased, both in dollars and in proportion to loan volume, compared to the year-ago period due to a planned reduction in productivity to sustainable levels. In addition, expenses increased as we pursued our strategy to increase our market share of home purchase loans. Such expenses included compensation incentives tied to increased purchase and Prime Home Equity volumes and sales staff expansion, along with increased marketing campaigns.

      Mortgage Banking loan production for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 decreased 32% in comparison to the year-ago period. Non-purchase loan production declined by 59%, while purchase production increased by 32%. The increase in purchase loans is significant because this component of the mortgage market offers relatively stable growth, averaging 10% per year over the last 10 years. The non-purchase, or refinance, component of the mortgage market is highly volatile because it is driven almost exclusively by prevailing mortgage rates.

      Prime Home Equity and Subprime Mortgage Loans generally provide higher profit margins, and the demand for such loans is believed to be less interest-rate sensitive than the demand for Prime Mortgage Loans. Consequently, Management believes these loans will be a significant component of the sector’s future growth, in particular if mortgage rates continue to rise.

      During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Loan Production Sector operated at approximately 111% of planned operational capacity, compared to 125% during the year-ago period. The primary capacity constraint in our loan origination activities is the number of loan operations personnel we have on staff. Therefore, we measure planned capacity with reference to the number of our loan operations personnel multiplied by the number of loans we expect each loan operations staff person to process under normal conditions. As loan production volume has declined, there has been a reduction in productivity to more sustainable levels that will result in higher overall unit costs. We plan to continue building our sales staff despite any potential further drop in loan origination volume as a primary means to increase our market share, particularly for purchase loans.
      The following table summarizes the number of people included in the Loan Production Sector workforce as of the dates indicated:

      The Consumer Markets Division continued to grow its commissioned sales force during the period. At September 30, 2004, the commissioned sales force numbered 4,831, an increase of 1,579 compared to September 30, 2003. The primary focus of the commissioned sales force is to increase overall purchase market share. The commissioned sales force contributed $10.5 billion in purchase originations during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, a 26% increase over the year-ago period. The purchase production generated by the commissioned sales force represented 75% of the Consumer Markets Division’s purchase production for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. In addition, the Consumer Markets Division has expanded its branch network to 556 branch offices at September 30, 2004, an increase of 106 over the year-ago period.
      The Wholesale Lending Division and FSLI also continued to grow their sales forces as a core strategy to increase market share. At September 30, 2004, the sales force in the Wholesale Lending Division numbered 1,018, an increase of 21% compared to September 30, 2003. FSLI expanded its sales force by 1,377, or 74% compared to September 30, 2003. In addition, FSLI has expanded its branch network to 145 branch offices at September 30, 2004, an increase of 55 over the year-ago period.
Loan Servicing Sector
      Included in Loan Servicing Sector’s results is the performance of our investments in MSRs and other retained interests and associated risk management activities, as well as profits from sub-servicing activities in the United States. The Loan Servicing Sector also includes a significant processing operation, consisting of approximately 6,000 employees who service our 5.9 million mortgage loans. The long-term performance of this sector is impacted primarily by the level of interest rates and the corresponding impact on the level of prepayments in our servicing portfolio.

Annualized
      The Loan Servicing Sector experienced a pre-tax loss of $22.7 million during the recent period, driven by impairment of our MSRs and other retained interests. Such impairment reflects the decrease in value of our retained interests, primarily caused by the decline in interest rates during the quarter and corresponding increase in the level of projected prepayments in our mortgage servicing portfolio. The combined amortization and impairment charge was $1,189.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to an amortization charge, net of recovery of previous impairment of retained interests, of $320.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
      During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Servicing Hedge generated a gain of $591.0 million. This gain resulted from a decline in long-term Treasury and swap rates, which indices underlie the derivatives that constituted the primary component of the Servicing Hedge. In a stable interest rate environment, we would expect to incur no significant impairment charges; however, we would expect to incur losses related to the Servicing Hedge driven primarily by time decay on options used in the hedge. The level of such Servicing Hedge losses depends on various factors such as the size and composition of the hedge, the shape of the yield curve and the level of implied interest rate volatility.
      We increased our servicing portfolio to $786.0 billion at September 30, 2004, a 30% increase from September 30, 2003. At the same time, the overall weighted-average note rate of loans in our servicing portfolio declined from 6.1% to 5.9%.
Loan Closing Services Sector
      The LandSafe companies produced $22.5 million in pre-tax earnings, representing a decrease of 17% from the year-ago period. The decrease in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was primarily due to the decrease in our loan origination activity.
Diversified Businesses
      To leverage our mortgage banking platform, as well as to reduce the variability of earnings due to changes in mortgage interest rates, we have expanded into other financial services. These other businesses are grouped into the following segments: Banking, Capital Markets, Insurance, and Global Operations.

      The Banking Segment also includes the operation of CWL. CWL’s pre-tax earnings decreased by $6.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to a 21% decline in average mortgage warehouse advances. The decline in average mortgage warehouse advances was attributable to a decline in the overall mortgage originations market.
Capital Markets Segment
      Our Capital Markets Segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $90.1 million for the quarter, a decrease of $44.9 million, or 33%, from the year-ago period. Total revenues were $166.9 million, a decrease of $30.3 million, or 15%, compared to the year-ago period. This segment’s performance was impacted by a less favorable mortgage-related fixed income securities market. These factors led to reduced mortgage-backed securities trading volumes and margins and a decline in conduit activities. This segment has expanded its staffing and infrastructure to invest in the development of new lines of business, which largely contributed to an increase in expenses of $14.6 million, or 23%, compared to the year-ago period.

      Underwriting revenues increased $51.7 million over the year-ago period primarily as a result of increased sales of our subprime and home equity securities.
      During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $49.0 million from its conduit activities, which include brokering and managing the acquisition, sale or securitization of whole loans on behalf of CHL. Conduit revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 decreased 46% in comparison to the year-ago period primarily as a result of a decline in volume and increased competition, which reduced margins.
      Trading revenues declined 73% due to a decrease in the size of the overall mortgage market which resulted in a decline in mortgage securities trading volume and margins. Trading volumes declined 40% from the year-ago quarter, before giving effect to introduction by the Company of trading of U.S. Treasury securities. Including U.S. Treasury securities, the total securities volume traded decreased 3% over the year-ago period. Effective January 15, 2004, Countrywide Securities Corporation (“CSC”) became a “Primary Dealer” and as such is an authorized counterparty with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its open market operations.

      Our mortgage reinsurance business produced $32.8 million in pre-tax earnings, an increase of 77% over the year-ago period, driven primarily by growth of 10% in the mortgage loans included in our loan servicing portfolio that are covered by reinsurance contracts combined with an overall increase in the ceded premium percentage and a reduction in provision for insurance claim losses. Within Balboa Reinsurance, reserves for insurance claims losses are a function of expected remaining losses and premiums.
      Our Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $2.3 million, a decrease of $13.5 million from the comparable quarter in 2003. The decline in earnings was driven by $23.2 million in estimated losses relating to hurricane damage sustained in Florida during the current quarter in comparison to $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.
Global Operations Segment
      Global Operations pre-tax earnings totaled $9.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in earnings was due to growth in the portfolio of mortgage loans subserviced on behalf of Global Home Loans’ minority joint venture partner, Barclays Bank PLC.

      Gain on sale of Prime Mortgage Loans decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to lower Prime Mortgage Loan production and sales combined with lower margins. The decline in margins from the unusually high levels realized in the third quarter of 2003 was due to increased price competition as a result of lower demand for refinance mortgage loans combined with a shift in consumer preference towards adjustable rate mortgages, which generally carry lower margins than thirty year fixed-rate mortgages. Gain on sale of Subprime Mortgage Loans decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to a decline in margins on Subprime loans sold during the current period combined with a hedge loss incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 related to Subprime loans sold in subsequent periods. Increased sales of Prime Home Equity Loans in the current quarter partially offset the decline in gain on sale from Prime and Subprime Mortgage Loans. Inventory of this product had been accumulated during recent periods of high origination volume.
      Reperforming loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were repurchased from mortgage securities we issued. The note rate on these loans is typically higher than the current mortgage rate, and therefore, their margin is typically higher than margins on Prime Mortgage Loans. A change in Ginnie Mae rules related to the repurchase of defaulted loans from Ginnie Mae securities has resulted in fewer loans available for repurchase, which has contributed to a lower margin on sale related to these loans.
      The increase in Capital Markets’ underwriting revenues was due to increased sales of our subprime and home equity securities combined with an increase in third party underwriting business. The decrease in Capital Markets’ gain on sale related to its conduit activities was due to decreased mortgage sales and margins

during the quarter. Capital Markets’ revenues from its trading activities consist of gain on sale and interest income. In a steep yield curve environment, which existed during both periods, trading revenues will derive largely or entirely from net interest income earned during the securities’ holding period. As the yield curve flattens, the mix of revenues will shift toward gain on sale of securities. The decrease in the loss on sale of the trading activities was due to a flattening of the yield curve in the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
      In general, gain on sale of loans and securities is affected by numerous factors, including the volume and mix of loans sold, production channel mix, the level of price competition, the slope of the yield curve, and the effectiveness of our associated interest rate risk management activities.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses
  $ 544,877     $ 409,763  
                 
      The increase in net interest income from Mortgage Banking loans and securities reflects an increase in the average inventory of mortgage loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Prime Home Equity Loans had been accumulated in prior periods resulting in a higher average inventory balance of such loans in the current quarter as compared to the year-ago period. The higher balance of Prime Home Equity Loans was partially offset by a decline in the average balance of Prime Mortgage Loans resulting from the decline in production volume in the current period as compared to the year-ago period.
      The increase in net interest income from the Banking Segment was primarily attributable to growth in mortgage loans held by the Bank. Average assets in the Banking Segment increased to $33.8 billion during the quarter, an increase of $13.9 billion over the year-ago quarter. The average net spread earned increased to 2.40% during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 from 2.04% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 primarily as the result of a rotation out of securities and into mortgage loans.
      Net interest expense from custodial balances decreased in the current period due to a decline in loan payoffs from the year-ago period. We are obligated to pass through monthly interest to security holders on paid-off loans at the underlying security rates, which were substantially higher than the short-term rates earned by us on the payoff float. The amount of such interest passed through to the security holders was $66.2 million and $131.9 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing Sector increased due to an increase in total sector assets.

Table of Contents

      The decrease in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities portfolio is attributable to a decrease in the average net spread earned from 1.43% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 0.86% during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, partially offset by an increase of 4% in the average inventory of securities held in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in net spread earned on the securities portfolio is primarily due to an increase in short-term financing rates.
      Reperforming loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were repurchased from mortgage securities we issued. Such loans are subsequently securitized and resold. The decrease in interest income related to this activity is primarily a result of a decrease in the average balance of such loans held.
Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from Retained Interests
      Loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests are summarized below for the periods indicated:
                   
    Quarter Ended
    September 30,
     
    2004   2003
         
    (In thousands)

Total loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests
  $ 812,940     $ 764,245  
                 
      The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to a 30% increase in the average servicing portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in the overall annualized net service fee earned from 0.34% of the average portfolio balance during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 0.32% during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The reduction in the overall net service fee was largely due to the Company entering agreements with certain of its loan investors whereby it agreed to reduce its contractual servicing fee rate. The resulting excess yield has been securitized and sold or is recorded on the balance sheet as trading securities.
      The decrease in income from other retained interests was due primarily to a decrease in the average effective yield of these investments from 31% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 22% in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. These investments include interest-only and principal-only securities as well as residual interests that arise from the securitization of nonconforming mortgage loans, particularly Subprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans.
Amortization of Mortgage Servicing Rights
      We recorded amortization of MSRs of $394.1 million, or an annual rate of 17.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $666.4 million, or an annual rate of 34.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The amortization rate of MSRs is dependent on the forecasted prepayment speeds at the beginning of the period. Mortgage rates at the beginning of the current quarter were higher than the year-ago period, and as a result, the forecasted prepayment speeds were lower in the current quarter. This resulted in a lower amortization rate in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 than in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Partially offsetting the lower amortization rate was the higher MSR asset balance.

(Impairment) recovery of retained interests:

Servicing Hedge gains (losses) recorded in earnings
  $ 590,967     $ (114,854 )
                 
      The impairment of MSRs during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 resulted from a decrease in the estimated fair value of MSRs driven by a decrease in mortgage rates during the quarter. An increase in mortgage interest rates during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, resulted in recovery of previous MSR impairment of $331.6 million.
      During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, long-term Treasury and swap rates decreased, resulting in a Servicing Hedge gain of $591.0 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Servicing Hedge generated a loss of $114.9 million as long-term Treasury and swap rates increased.
      The Servicing Hedge is intended to moderate the effect on earnings caused by changes in the estimated fair value of MSRs and other retained interests that generally result from changes in mortgage rates. Rising interest rates in the future will result in Servicing Hedge losses.
Net Insurance Premiums Earned
      The increase in net insurance premiums earned is primarily due to an increase in the ceded premium percentage in our mortgage reinsurance business, offset by a decrease in premiums earned on lender-placed casualty lines of businesses.

      Compensation expenses increased $127.3 million, or 18%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
      Compensation expenses in the Mortgage Banking Segment increased primarily due to growth in the loan production sales force. In the Loan Production Sector, compensation expenses increased $88.0 million, or 20%, as a result of a 17% increase in average staff, primarily the sales force, combined with incentive compensation tied to increased purchases and Home Equity volumes.
      Incremental direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred when incurred. When the related loan is sold, the costs deferred are included as a component of gain on sale. See “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Financial Statement Reclassifications” in our 2003 Annual Report for a further discussion of deferred origination costs.
      Compensation expenses increased in all other business segments and corporate areas, reflecting their growth and growth in the Company.
Occupancy and Other Office Expenses
      Occupancy and other office expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased by $17.1 million, or 11%, primarily to accommodate personnel growth in the loan production operations.
Insurance Claim Expenses
      Insurance claim expenses were $106.7 million, or 55%, of net insurance premiums earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $103.2 million, or 54%, of net insurance premiums earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Balboa Life and Casualty’s loss ratio (including allocated loss adjustment expenses) increased from 56% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 64% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, due to higher hurricane-related losses. The provision for reinsurance claims expenses

Results of Operations Comparison — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
Consolidated Earnings Performance
      Net earnings were $1,827.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a 1% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in our earnings was driven primarily by an increase in the profitability of our Banking Segment. In the Mortgage Banking Segment, improved financial performance of our MSRs was for the most part offset by a decline in the profitability of our Loan Production Sector. Although net earnings increased 1% from the year-ago period, earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased 9% to $2.96 as a result of an increase in the number of diluted shares.
      The decrease in the profitability of the Loan Production Sector resulted from lower Prime Mortgage Loan production and sales combined with a compression in margins, which were caused by generally higher mortgage interest rates, increased demand for lower-margin adjustable-rate mortgages, greater pricing competition and higher loan origination costs. Increased sales of higher-margin Subprime Mortgage and Home Equity Loans positively impacted Loan Production Sector pre-tax earnings, which were $2,167.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $1,340.0 million from the year-ago period.
      The pre-tax loss in the Loan Servicing Sector, which incorporates the performance of our MSRs and other retained interests, was $155.7 million, an improvement of $1,160.9 million from the year-ago period. This decline in pre-tax loss was primarily attributable to a decrease in the combined amount of amortization and impairment, net of Servicing Hedge gains, which totaled $1,875.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $2,815.4 million in the year-ago period.
      The Mortgage Banking Segment produced pre-tax earnings of $2,075.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of 9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
      Our Diversified Businesses were significant contributors to the earnings performance in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. In particular, our Banking Segment increased its pre-tax earnings by $192.7 million from the year-ago period, driven primarily by growth in mortgage loans held by Treasury Bank. In total, Diversified Businesses contributed $878.9 million in pre-tax earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 36% from the year-ago period.

      Decreased demand for residential mortgages from the historic levels experienced in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 resulted in lower production volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The resulting decline in our production was partially offset by an increase in our market share from the year-ago period. Our mortgage loan production market share was 13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, up from 12% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (Source: Inside Mortgage Finance).
      Revenues declined over the year-ago period due primarily to a reduction in production and sales volume and margins of Prime Mortgage Loans. Sales of Prime Mortgage Loans were $198.9 billion in the current period compared to $297.7 billion in the year-ago period. Prime Mortgage Loan margins declined from the high levels realized in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. We attribute the decline in margins to increased price competition caused by the significant reduction in refinance activity, as well as to the shift in consumer preference towards adjustable rate mortgages, which generally carry lower margins than 30 year fixed rate mortgages. The decline in prime revenues was partially offset by increased production and sales of higher margin Subprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans. Combined sales of Subprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loan products were $40.5 billion in the current nine month period compared to $5.3 billion in the year-ago period.
      Operating expenses increased, both in dollars and in proportion to loan volume, compared to the year-ago period due to a planned reduction in productivity to sustainable levels. In addition, expenses increased as we pursued our strategy to increase our market share of home purchase loans. Such expenses included compensation incentives tied to increased purchase and Prime Home Equity volumes and sales staff expansion, along with increased marketing campaigns.

      Prime Home Equity and Subprime Mortgage Loans generally provide higher profit margins, and the demand for such loans is believed to be less interest-rate-sensitive than the demand for Prime Home Mortgage loans. Consequently, Management believes these loans will be a significant component of the sector’s future growth, in particular if mortgage rates continue to rise.
      During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Loan Production Sector operated at approximately 111% of planned operational capacity, compared to 124% during the year-ago period.

Annualized
      The pre-tax loss in the Loan Servicing Sector was $155.7 million during the recent period, an improvement of $1,160.9 million from the year-ago period. During the current period, mortgage rates were generally higher than in the year-ago period, which resulted in lower actual and projected prepayments. Such lower prepayments resulted in lower amortization and impairment. The combined amounts of amortization and impairment, net of the Servicing Hedge were $1,875.5 million and $2,815.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      We increased our servicing portfolio to $786.0 billion at September 30, 2004, a 30% increase from September 30, 2003. At the same time, the overall weighted-average note rate of loans in our servicing portfolio declined from 6.1% to 5.9%.
Loan Closing Services Sector
      The LandSafe companies produced $64.1 million in pre-tax earnings, representing a decrease of 22% from the year-ago period. The decrease in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was primarily due to the decrease in our loan origination activity.
Diversified Businesses
      To leverage our mortgage banking platform, as well as to reduce the variability of earnings due to changes in mortgage interest rates, we have engaged in other financial services. These other businesses are grouped into the following segments: Banking, Capital Markets, Insurance, and Global Operations.

      The increase in net interest income is primarily due to a $14.5 billion increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily mortgage loans, combined with an increase in net interest margin of 26 basis points. The margin increase was the result of a more favorable asset mix and lower loan and securities prepayments.
      The Banking Segment also includes the operation of CWL. CWL’s pre-tax earnings decreased by $12.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to a 19% decline in average mortgage warehouse advances, which in turn resulted from a decline in the overall mortgage originations market.
Capital Markets Segment
      Our Capital Markets Segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $332.9 million for the nine months, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 4%, from the year-ago period. Total revenues were $551.9 million, an increase of $23.5 million, or 4% compared to the year-ago period.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $225.9 million from its conduit activities, which include brokering and managing the acquisition, sale or securitization of whole loans on behalf of CHL.
      Underwriting revenues increased $98.8 million over the year-ago period primarily as a result of increased sales of our subprime and home equity securities.
      Trading revenues declined 42% due to a decrease in the size of the overall mortgage market which resulted in a decline in mortgage securities trading volume and margins. Trading volumes declined 27% from the year-ago period, before giving effect to trading of U.S. Treasury securities. Including U.S. Treasury securities, the total securities volume traded increased 4% over the year-ago period. Effective January 15, 2004, CSC became a “Primary Dealer” and as such is an authorized counterparty with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its open market operations. The Treasury securities trading operation is still in its development stages and has not yet produced significant net revenues.

      Our mortgage reinsurance business produced $96.6 million in pre-tax earnings, an increase of 56% over the year-ago period, driven primarily by growth of 10% in the mortgage loans included in our loan servicing portfolio that are covered by reinsurance contracts combined with an overall increase in the ceded premium percentage and a reduction in provision for insurance claim losses.
      Our Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $49.2 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the year-ago period. The growth in earnings was driven by a $22.3 million, or 5%, increase in net earned premiums during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison to the year-ago period. The growth in net earned premiums was primarily attributable to growth in voluntary homeowners insurance.

Global Operations Segment
      Global Operations pre-tax earnings totaled $31.2 million, an increase of $17.5 million in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in earnings was due to growth in the portfolio of mortgage loans subserviced on behalf of Global Home Loans’ minority joint venture partner, Barclays Bank PLC, along with a $6.5 million software impairment in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which did not recur in the current period.

      Gain on sale of Prime Mortgage Loans decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, due primarily to lower Prime Mortgage Loan production and sales combined with lower margins. This reduction in gain on sale revenues was partially offset by increased net interest income associated with Prime Mortgage Loans as a result of the increase in the average holding period of the inventory, which shifts revenue from gain on sale to interest income. The decline in margins from the high levels realized in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was due to increased price competition as a result of lower demand for refinance mortgage loans, combined with a shift in consumer preference towards adjustable rate mortgages, which generally carry lower margins than thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages. Gain on sale of Prime Home Equity and Subprime Mortgage Loans increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, due primarily to increased sales of these loans, offset somewhat by lower margins on the Subprime Mortgage Loan sales. Inventory of these products had been accumulated during recent periods of high origination volume.
      Reperforming loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were repurchased from mortgage securities we issued. The note rate on these loans is typically higher than the current mortgage rate, and therefore, the margin on these loans is typically higher than margins on Prime Mortgage Loans. A change

in Ginnie Mae rules related to the repurchase of defaulted loans from Ginnie Mae securities has resulted in fewer loans available for repurchase, which has contributed to a lower gain on sale related to these items.
      The increase in Capital Markets’ underwriting revenues was due to increased sales of our subprime and home equity securities combined with an increase in third-party underwriting business. Capital Markets’ revenues from its trading activities consist of gain on sale and interest income. The increase in the loss related to trading securities is due to a less robust market environment in the current period.

      The increase in net interest income from Mortgage Banking loans and securities reflects an increase in the average inventory of mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Prime Home Equity Loans had been accumulated in prior periods resulting in a higher average inventory balance of such loans in the current period as compared to the year-ago period. In addition, the average holding period for loans increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income is a decline in the overall borrowing rate as a result in a shift in the mix of debt to less expensive short-term debt.
      The increase in net interest income from the Banking Segment was primarily attributable to growth in mortgage loans in the Bank. Average assets in the Banking Segment increased to $28.8 billion during the nine months, an increase of $13.6 billion over the year-ago period. The average net spread earned increased to 2.24% during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 2.00% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
      Net interest expense from custodial balances decreased in the current period due to the decrease in loan payoffs from the year-ago period. We are obligated to pass through monthly interest to security holders on paid-off loans at the underlying security rates, which were substantially higher than the short-term rates earned by us on the payoff float. The amount of such interest passed through to the security holders was $220.2 million and $342.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing Sector increased due to an increase in total Servicing Sector assets.

61


Table of Contents

      The decrease in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities portfolio is attributable to a decrease in the average net spread earned from 1.44% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to 1.00% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, partially offset by an increase of 30% in the average inventory of securities held.
      Reperforming loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were repurchased from mortgage securities we issued. Such loans are subsequently securitized and resold. The decrease in interest income related to this activity is a result of a decrease in the average balance of such loans held.
Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from Retained Interests
      Loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests are summarized below for the periods indicated:
                   
    Nine Months Ended
    September 30,
     
    2004   2003
         
    (In thousands)

Total loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests
  $ 2,372,353     $ 2,060,414  
                 
      The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to a 34% increase in the average servicing portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in the overall annualized net service fee earned from 0.35% of the average portfolio balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to 0.33% during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The reduction in the overall net service fee was largely due to the Company entering agreements with certain of its loan investors whereby it agreed to reduce its contractual servicing fee rate. The resulting excess yield has been securitized and sold or is recorded on the balance sheet as trading securities.
      The decrease in income from other retained interests was due primarily to a decrease in the average effective yield of these investments from 26% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to 24% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. These investments include interest-only and principal-only securities as well as residual interests that arise from the securitization of nonconforming mortgage loans, particularly Subprime and Home Equity Loans.
      The increase in subservicing fees earned in the Global Operations Segment was primarily due to growth in the portfolio subserviced. The Global Operations subservicing portfolio was $110 billion and $98 billion at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Amortization of Mortgage Servicing Rights
      We recorded amortization of MSRs of $1,377.7 million, or an annual rate of 21.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,586.2 million, or an annual rate of 27.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The reduction in the amortization rate reflects the increase in the estimated life of the servicing portfolio, which is attributable to comparatively higher interest rates during the current period.

Servicing Hedge gains recorded in earnings
  $ 114,312     $ 639,588  
                 
      The impairment of MSRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 resulted from a decrease in the estimated fair value of MSRs driven by a slight decrease in mortgage rates during the period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recognized impairment of other retained interests, primarily as a result of a decline in the value of subprime securities. The collateral underlying certain of these residuals is fixed-rate while the pass-through rate is floating. An increase in projected short-term interest rates during the current period resulted in a compression of the spread on such residuals, which resulted in a decline in their value. Impairment of MSRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 resulted from a reduction in the estimated fair value of MSRs, primarily driven by the decline in mortgage rates during much of the period.
      During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, long-term Treasury and swap rates decreased, resulting in a Servicing Hedge gain of $114.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Servicing Hedge generated a gain of $639.6 million, as long-term Treasury and swap rates generally decreased.
Net Insurance Premiums Earned
      The increase in net insurance premiums earned is primarily due to an increase in premiums earned on lender-placed and voluntary lines of businesses combined with an increase in reinsurance premiums.
Commissions and Other Income

      Occupancy and other office expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $78.7 million, or 18%, primarily to accommodate personnel growth in the loan production operations, which accounted for 98% of the increase.
Insurance Claim Expenses
      Insurance claim expenses were $275.1 million, or 48% of net insurance premiums earned, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $277.1 million, or 52% of net insurance premiums earned, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Balboa Life and Casualty’s loss ratio (including allocated loss adjustment expenses) was 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, due to lower claims experience in both voluntary homeowners’ and lender-placed insurance lines offset by increased losses related to hurricanes. The provision for reinsurance claims expenses decreased $9.1 million from the nine months

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
      The primary market risk we face is interest rate risk. From an enterprise perspective, we manage this risk through the natural counterbalance of our loan production and servicing businesses. We also use various financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage the interest rate risk related specifically to our Committed Pipeline, Mortgage Loan Inventory and Mortgage-Backed Securities held for sale, MSRs and other retained interests, and trading securities, as well as a portion of our debt. The overall objective of our interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates.
Impact of Changes in Interest Rates on the Net Value of the Company’s Interest Rate — Sensitive Financial Instruments
      We perform various sensitivity analyses that quantify the net financial impact of changes in interest rates on our interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. These analyses incorporate assumed changes in the interest rate environment, including selected hypothetical (instantaneous) parallel shifts in the yield curve. Utilizing these analyses, the following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments as of September 30, 2004, given several hypothetical (instantaneous) parallel shifts in the yield curve:

      These sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; are subject to the accuracy of various assumptions used, including prepayment forecasts and discount rates; and do not incorporate other factors that would impact the Company’s overall financial performance in such scenarios, most significantly the impact of changes in loan production earnings that result from changes in interest rates. In addition, not all of the changes in fair value would impact current period earnings. For example, MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or market, which is determined by interest rate stratum. Therefore, absent hedge accounting, changes in the value of the MSRs above the cost basis of each stratum would not impact current period earnings. The total impairment reserve was $1.2 billion at September 30, 2004. For the above reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Foreign Currency Risk
      From time to time, we issue medium-term notes denominated in a foreign currency. We manage the foreign currency risk associated with these medium-term notes through currency swap transactions. The terms of the currency swaps effectively translate the foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes into U.S. dollar obligations, thereby eliminating the associated foreign currency risk. As a result, potential changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies denominating such medium-term notes would not have a net financial impact on future earnings, fair values or cash flows.
Credit Risk
Securitization
      Substantially all mortgage loans we produce are securitized and sold into the secondary mortgage market. As described in our 2003 Annual Report, the degree to which credit risk on the underlying loans is transferred through the securitization process depends on the structure of the securitization. Our Prime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized on a non-recourse basis, while Prime Home Equity Loans and Subprime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized with limited recourse for credit losses.
      Our exposure to credit losses related to our limited recourse securitization activities is limited to the carrying value of our subordinated interests and to the contractual limit of reimbursable losses under our corporate guarantees less the recorded liability for such guarantees. These amounts at September 30, 2004 are as follows:

Mortgage Reinsurance
      We provide mortgage reinsurance on mortgage loans included in our servicing portfolio through contracts with several primary mortgage insurance companies. Under these contracts, we absorb mortgage insurance

Table of Contents

losses in excess of a specified percentage of the principal balance of a given pool of loans, subject to a cap, in exchange for a portion of the pool’s mortgage insurance premium. As of September 30, 2004, approximately $70.8 billion of mortgage loans in our servicing portfolio are covered by such mortgage reinsurance contracts. The reinsurance contracts place limits on our maximum exposure to losses. At September 30, 2004, the maximum aggregate losses under the reinsurance contracts were $369 million. We are required to pledge securities to cover this potential liability. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we did not experience any losses under our reinsurance contracts.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
      At September 30, 2004, mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $35.4 billion. While the loans are in inventory, we bear credit risk after taking into consideration primary mortgage insurance (which is generally required for conventional loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%), FHA insurance or VA guarantees. Historically, credit losses related to loans held for sale have not been significant.
Portfolio Lending Activities
      We have a growing portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment, consisting primarily of Prime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans, which amounted to $30.4 billion at September 30, 2004. This portfolio is held primarily at the bank. A portion of the Prime Home Equity Loans held in the bank is covered by a pool insurance policy that provides partial protection against credit losses. Otherwise, we generally retain full credit exposure on these loans.
      We also provide short-term, secured mortgage loan warehouse advances to various lending institutions, which totaled $3.2 billion at September 30, 2004. We incurred no credit losses related to this activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
      Our allowance for credit losses related to loans held for investment amounted to $107.8 million at September 30, 2004.
Counterparty Credit Risk
      We have exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our trading counterparties and counterparties to our various over-the-counter derivative financial instruments. We manage this credit risk by selecting only well-established, financially strong counterparties, spreading the credit risk among many such counterparties, and by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit risk from any single counterparty.
      The aggregate amount of counterparty credit exposure at September 30, 2004, before and after collateral held by us, was as follows:
         
    September 30, 2004

(1)  Runoff refers to scheduled principal repayments on loans and unscheduled prepayments (partial prepayments or total prepayments due to refinancing, modification, sale, condemnation or foreclosure).
 
(2)  Excludes subserviced loans and loans purchased at a discount due to their non-performing status and is expressed as a percentage of total number of loans serviced.
      We attribute the overall decline in delinquencies in our servicing portfolio primarily to the relative overall increase in the number of loans in the conventional and Prime Home Equity portfolios, which carry lower delinquency rates than the government and subprime portfolios. Also contributing to the decline in the overall delinquency rate is a reduction in the delinquency rate of our subprime portfolio. We believe the delinquency rates in our servicing portfolio are consistent with industry experience for similar mortgage loan portfolios.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      We regularly forecast our potential funding needs over short and long-term horizons, taking into account debt maturities and potential peak balance sheet levels. Available reliable sources of liquidity are appropriately sized to meet potential future financing requirements. We currently have $65.9 billion in reliable sources of short-term liquidity, which represents an increase of $13.4 billion from December 31, 2003. We believe we have adequate financing capability to meet our current needs.
      Our regulatory capital ratios were as follows as of the dates indicated:

Cash Flow
      Cash flow used by operating activities was $3.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to of $8.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in cash flow used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was primarily due to a $10.1 billion net decrease in cash used to fund Mortgage Loan Inventory.
      Net cash used by investing activities was $5.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $22.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $9.9 billion decrease in cash used to fund available-for-sale securities, combined with a $4.1 billion decrease in cash used to fund loans held for investment.
      Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $9.4 billion, compared to $30.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was comprised of a $25.8 billion net decrease in short-term (primarily secured) borrowings, offset by a $3.4 billion increase in deposit liabilities and a $1.4 billion net increase in long-term debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees
      In the ordinary course of our business we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on our balance sheet. (See Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the 2003 Annual Report for a

70


Table of Contents

description of our consolidation policy.) Such transactions are structured to manage our interest rate, credit or liquidity risks, diversify funding sources or to optimize our capital.
      Substantially all of our off-balance sheet arrangements relate to the securitization of mortgage loans. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” our mortgage loan securitizations are normally structured as sales, and involve the transfer of the mortgage loans to “qualifying special-purpose entities” that are not subject to consolidation. In a securitization, an entity transferring the assets is able to convert those assets into cash. Special-purpose entities used in such securitizations obtain cash to acquire the assets by issuing securities to investors. In a securitization, we customarily provide representations and warranties with respect to the mortgage loans transferred. In addition, we generally retain the right to service the transferred mortgage loans. In some cases, we retain limited exposure to credit risk.
      We also generally have the right to repurchase mortgage loans from the special-purpose entity if the remaining outstanding balance of the mortgage loans falls to a level where the cost of servicing the loans exceeds the revenues we earn.
      Our Prime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized on a non-recourse basis, while Prime Home Equity and Subprime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized with limited recourse for credit losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we securitized $36.8 billion in Subprime Mortgages and Prime Home Equity Loans with limited recourse for credit losses. Our exposure to credit losses related to our limited recourse securitization activities is limited to the carrying value of our subordinated interests and to the contractual limit of reimbursable losses under our corporate guarantees, less the recorded liability for such guarantees. For a further discussion of our exposure to credit risk, see the section in this Report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Credit Risk.”
      We do not believe that any of our off-balance sheet arrangements have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
      The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2004, with the exception of short-term borrowing arrangements and pension and post-retirement benefit plans:

      As of September 30, 2004, the Company had undisbursed home equity lines of credit and construction loan commitments of $5.1 billion and $559.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2004, outstanding interest rate lock commitments related to mortgage loan applications in process totaled $33.6 billion.
Prospective Trends
      Total United States mortgage originations were estimated at approximately $3.8 trillion for 2003. Forecasters estimate the market for 2004 will be between $2.6 and $2.7 trillion; a significant reduction from 2003’s record level but still very high by historical standards. These markets have been driven largely by historically low interest rates, which have triggered an unprecedented wave of refinancing activity, in addition to supporting a strong housing market. This market environment has been very favorable for us overall. During this period, we have generated record earnings, significantly increased our market share, and grown our

71


Table of Contents

servicing portfolio to almost $800 billion as of September 30, 2004. This market environment also has been very beneficial for our nonmortgage banking businesses, in particular Capital Markets.
      Looking forward, absent a significant further drop in interest rates, we expect the level of mortgage originations to decline, driven largely by a reduction in refinances. Forecasters estimate the market in 2005 will be between $2.0 and $2.5 trillion. This will likely result in a reduction in near-term profits from our loan production activities, although we would expect increased profitability from our investment in MSRs, which has generated significant losses during this period of low interest rates as a result of high levels of prepayments. Our Capital Markets business will be negatively impacted by a significant drop in mortgage market activity. Our Bank should be able to continue its growth, although its net interest margins may be impacted over time due to increased pricing competition in the mortgage market.
      According to the trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance, the top five originators produced 47.1% of all loans originated during the first nine months of calendar year 2004, as compared to 46.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003.

      We believe the consolidation trend that has been underway in the mortgage industry for several years will continue, as market forces will continue to drive out weak competitors. We believe Countrywide will benefit from this trend through increased market share and more rational pricing competition.
      Compared to Countrywide, the other industry leaders are less reliant on the secondary mortgage market as an outlet for adjustable rate mortgages, due to their greater portfolio lending capacity. This could place us at a competitive disadvantage in the future if the current higher demand for adjustable rate mortgages continues, the secondary mortgage market does not continue to provide a competitive outlet for these loans, and we are unable to develop an adequate portfolio lending capacity.
Regulatory Trends
      The regulatory environments in which we operate have an impact on the activities in which we may engage, how the activities may be carried out and the profitability of those activities. Therefore, changes to laws, regulations or regulatory policies can affect whether and to what extent we are able to operate profitably. For example, proposed state and federal legislation targeted at predatory lending could have the unintended consequence of raising the cost or otherwise reducing the availability of mortgage credit for those potential borrowers with less than prime-quality credit histories. This could result in a reduction of otherwise legitimate subprime lending opportunities. Similarly, certain proposed state and federal privacy legislation, if passed, could have an adverse impact on our ability to cross-sell the non-mortgage products our various divisions offer to customers in a cost effective manner.
Implementation of New Accounting Standards
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB reached consensus opinions regarding the determination of whether an investment is considered impaired, whether the identified impairment is considered other-than-temporary, how to measure other-than-temporary impairment, and how to disclose unrealized losses on investments that are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The consensus opinions, detailed in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impair-

ment and its Application to Certain Investments,” add to the Company’s impairment assessment requirements detailed in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The Company has included the new disclosure requirements in its 2003 Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. Adoption of the new measurement requirements has been delayed by the FASB pending reconsideration of implementation guidance relating to debt securities that are impaired solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads. The implementation of these consensuses is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or earnings.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
      We make forward-looking statements in this report and in other reports we file with the SEC. In addition, we make forward-looking statements in press releases and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others.
      Generally, forward-looking statements include:
  •  Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends or capital structure or other financial items
 
  •  Descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services
 
  •  Forecasts of our future financial performance
 
  •  Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing
      Forward-looking statements give management’s expectation about the future and are not guarantees. Words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “promise,” “plan” and other expressions or words of similar meanings, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may” are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.
      Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.
      Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:
  •  Changes in general business, economic, and political conditions
 
  •  Ineffective management of the volatility inherent in the mortgage banking business
 
  •  Competition within the financial services industry
 
  •  Significant changes in regulation governing our business
 
  •  Incomplete or inaccurate information provided by customers and counterparties
 
  •  A decline in U.S. housing prices or the level of activity in the U.S. housing market
 
  •  The loss of investment-grade credit ratings, which may result in an increased cost of debt or loss of access to corporate debt markets
 
  •  A reduction in the availability of secondary markets for mortgage loan products
 
  •  A reduction in government support of homeownership
 
  •  A change in our relationship with housing-related government agencies and Government-Sponsored Entities (GSEs)
 
  •  Changes in regulations or other events that impact the business, operation or prospects of GSEs

  •  Ineffective hedging activities
 
  •  Competition within each business segment
 
  •  Natural disasters, events, or circumstances that affect the level of claims in the insurance segment
      Other risk factors are described elsewhere in this document as well as in other reports and documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other factors that may not be described in any such report or document could also cause results to differ from our expectations. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
      In response to this Item, the information set forth on pages 64 to 66 of this Form 10-Q/A is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
      We have conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had previously concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared. However, during our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, we identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is described below. Solely because of this material weakness, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have now concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities during the period for which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A was being prepared.
      There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
      A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial information reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
      The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and as of December 31, 2004 this assessment identified the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
      The Company’s internal controls intended to ensure the proper accounting treatment of certain securitization transactions were not properly designed. Specifically, these controls were intended to facilitate the proper sale accounting treatment pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting

74


Table of Contents

Standards No. 140, “Accounting For Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”). These internal controls were not designed to address all relevant provisions of SFAS 140, specifically those relating to derivatives and retained interests that require evaluation when concluding on the propriety of sale accounting treatment for a securitization transaction. As a result of these ineffectively designed controls, the Company recorded certain gains on the sales of mortgage loans in improper periods during 2004 and 2003. As described in the “Explanatory Note” introduction to this Form 10-Q/A, this Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate the Company’s results to record such gains in the proper periods and to make certain conforming changes.
Remediation Efforts Related to the Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
      The Company created certain mortgage-backed securities containing embedded derivatives which were underwritten by a subsidiary of the Company. At the end of each quarter in 2004 and at the end of the second quarter in 2003, a small amount of these securities had not yet been sold, but in all cases the remaining securities were sold shortly after quarter end. The securities held at each quarter end ranged from 0.1 percent to 2.2 percent of the principal balance of the related loans securitized. Such unsold securities containing embedded derivatives needed to be sold prior to the Company recording any gain on sale. These securities were not identified by the existing internal controls and resulted in the Company having to revise the timing of the gain on sale for such transactions, and ultimately, the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This has been remediated in 2005 by implementing the following:
        (1) Accounting policies relating to new or modified activities were reviewed prior to March 31, 2005, the end of the first quarter in which such policies were effective. The Company will continue this process in future periods.
 
        (2) Each securitization transaction during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 has been reviewed as it occurred to identify whether it involved securities containing embedded derivatives, and, to the extent a transaction contained embedded derivatives, a plan was developed for the disposition of such securities or the securitization was not accounted for as a sale. The Company will continue this process in future periods.
 
        (3) Procedures have been implemented to identify any such securities containing embedded derivatives that are held at each quarter end and to the extent such securities exist, procedures have been designed to ensure proper accounting related to gain on sale or reconsolidation of previously sold assets. The Company will continue to follow these procedures in the future.
