Explanatory Note

This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to amend (a) the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 located in “Item 1. Financial Statements” and (b) certain trading volume information included in the “Non-Mortgage Banking Business — Capital Markets Segment” discussion for the “Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002” located in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

For Item 1, an error was made in the subtotals of “Total liabilities” for both periods presented. Specifically, the amounts shown for “Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital trust pass-through securities of subsidiary trusts holding solely Company guaranteed related subordinated debt” were inadvertently included in the amount shown for “Total liabilities.” The subtotals of “Total liabilities” for each period have been amended to correct this error.

For Item 2, the trading volume information for Countrywide Securities Corporation (“CSC”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was inadvertently shown as the trading volume information for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. These numbers and related percentage information have been corrected.

The Form 10-Q has not been amended in any other respect except for certain minor conforming changes.

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, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. 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, 2002 for Countrywide Financial Corporation (the “Company”).

Certain amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.

NOTE 2 - 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 by the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming all potential dilutive common shares were issued.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had convertible debentures that were considered antidilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company generally grants stock options to employees 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.

Had the estimated fair value of the options granted been included in compensation expense, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows:

                                     
        Quarter Ended   Nine Months Ended
        September 30,   September 30,

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of 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 option grant is amortized over the option’s vesting period. The weighted-average assumptions used to value the option grants and the resulting average estimated values were as follows:

                                   
      Quarter Ended   Nine Months Ended
      September 30,   September 30,

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimate of amortization of the existing MSR asset for the five-year period ending September 30, 2008. This projection was developed using the assumptions made by management in its September 30, 2003 valuation of MSRs. The assumptions underlying the following estimate will change 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.

Asset-Backed Commercial Paper

In April 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned special purpose entity for the purpose of issuing short-term Secured Liquidity Notes (“SLNs”) to finance certain of its mortgage loan inventory. SLNs are issued with maturities of up to 180 days, extendable to 300 days. The contractual maximum amount of SLNs outstanding, based on commitments from underlying credit enhancers, was $17.2 billion at September 30, 2003. The Company has pledged $11.0 billion in mortgage loans to secure the SLNs outstanding at September 30, 2003. The weighted average interest rate borne by the SLNs outstanding on September 30, 2003 was 1.13%.

Medium-Term Notes

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“CHL”), the Company’s principal mortgage banking subsidiary, issued medium-term notes under shelf registration statements or pursuant to its Euro medium-term note program as follows:

Of the $3.3 billion of floating-rate medium term notes issued by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, $1.1 billion were effectively converted to fixed-rate debt using interest rate swap contracts.

Of the $1.6 billion of fixed-rate medium term notes issued by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, $140.5 million were effectively converted to floating-rate debt using interest rate swap contracts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, CHL redeemed $3.8 billion of maturing medium-term notes. As of September 30, 2003, $1.3 billion foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes were outstanding. Such notes are denominated in Yen, Deutsche Marks, French Francs, Portuguese Escudos, and Eurodollars. The Company has executed currency swap transactions that have the effect of translating the foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes into borrowings denominated in United States Dollars.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $5.2 billion at September 30, 2003, an increase of $4.2 billion from December 31, 2002. These advances all bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 1.69% to 4.29% and have maturity dates ranging from August 2005 through September 2010. At September 30, 2003, the Company had pledged $2.2 billion in mortgage-backed securities and $4.8 billion in loans held for investment to secure the advances.

NOTE 11 - COMPANY-OBLIGATED CAPITAL SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS

In April 2003, Countrywide Capital IV, a subsidiary trust of the Company, issued $500 million of 6.75% preferred securities, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and CHL (the “6.75% Securities”). In connection with the issuance by Countrywide Capital IV of the 6.75% Securities, the Company issued to Countrywide Capital IV $500 million of its 6.75% Junior Subordinated Debentures, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CHL (the “Subordinated Debentures”). Countrywide Capital IV exists for the sole purpose of issuing the 6.75% Securities and investing the proceeds in the Subordinated Debentures. The Subordinated Debentures are due on April 1, 2033, with interest payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company has the right to redeem, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, the 6.75% Securities at any time on or after April 11, 2008.

The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods by extending the payment period. If interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures are so deferred, the Company may not, among other things, declare or pay dividends on, or make a distribution with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock.

NOTE 12 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk. From an enterprise perspective, the Company manages this risk through the natural counterbalance of its loan production and servicing businesses. In addition, the Company utilizes various financial instruments, including derivatives, 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, as well as a portion of its debt. The overall objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of reported 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 has interest rate risk relative to its mortgage loan inventory and its Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”).

The Company’s loan production consists primarily of fixed-rate mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages, like other fixed-rate debt instruments, are subject to a loss in value when market interest rates rise. The Company is exposed to such losses from the time an IRLC is made to an applicant (or financial intermediary) to the time the related mortgage loan is sold. To manage this risk of loss, the Company utilizes derivatives, primarily forward sales of MBS and options to buy and sell MBS, as well as options on Treasury futures contracts.

In general, the risk management activities connected with 82% or more of the fixed-rate Mortgage Inventory is accounted for as a “fair value” hedge. The Company recognized pre-tax losses of $30.8 million and pretax gains of $12.3 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of Mortgage Inventory, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These amounts, along with the change in the fair value of the 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. As such, IRLCs 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, the risk management activities related to the IRLCs do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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 statement 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, 2003 and 2002, none of the derivative instruments included in the Servicing Hedge was designated as a hedge 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 and MBS, interest rate swaptions, interest rate floors, interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and principal-only securities. With respect to the interest rate floors, options on interest rate futures and MBS, interest rate caps and swaptions, 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 swap contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2003, the Company estimates that its maximum exposure to loss over the various contractual terms is $483.0 million. 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.

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-rate, long-term debt to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating-rate debt. These transactions are designed as “fair value” hedges under SFAS 133. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $0.1 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized pre-tax gains of $3.1 million, representing the ineffective portion of such fair value hedges of debt. These amounts are included in interest charges in the 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, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, representing the ineffective portion of such cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2003, deferred net gains or losses on derivative instruments included in other comprehensive income that are expected to be reclassified as 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 14 - REGULATORY AND AGENCY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As the owner of Treasury Bank, the Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). The Company is also subject to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac net worth requirements.

FRB 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 and preferred stock and securities that meet certain guidelines detailed in the FRB’s capital regulations, less goodwill, the portion of MSRs not includable in regulatory capital (generally, the carrying value of MSRs in excess of Tier 1 Capital, net of associated deferred taxes) 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 securities excluded from Tier 1 Capital, as well as 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

NOTE 15 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in, or parties to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to their business. These matters include actions and proceedings involving alleged breaches of contract, violations of consumer protection and other laws and regulations, and other disputes arising out of the Company’s operations. Certain of these matters involve claims for substantial monetary damages, and others purport to be class actions.

NOTE 18 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an “underlying” to conform it to the language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 (“SFAS 150”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity in its statement of financial position. In accordance with the standard, financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. On November 7, 2003, the FASB issued FAS 150-3 deferring the effective date of SFAS 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The adoption of the remainder of SFAS 150 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. As such, a reading of the Annual Report on Form 10-K is necessary to an informed understanding of the following discussions.

GENERAL

The Company’s core business is residential mortgage banking. Historically, the mortgage banking business was the primary source of the Company’s earnings and the focus of its capital investment. The Company’s results of operations historically have been influenced primarily by the level of demand for mortgage loans, which is affected by external factors such as prevailing mortgage rates and the strength of the U.S. housing market.

In recent years, the Company has expanded its operations beyond mortgage banking. The Company now has five business segments: Mortgage Banking, Insurance, Capital Markets, Global Operations and Banking. This diversification has been pursued to capitalize on meaningful synergies with the Company’s core mortgage banking business and to provide sources of earnings that are not as cyclical as the mortgage banking business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As discussed in further detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the accounting policies that have the greatest impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require the most judgment are those relating to its mortgage securitization activities and the ongoing valuation of retained interests, particularly Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”), that arise from those activities, as well as the Company’s interest rate risk management activities. The Company’s critical accounting policies involve accounting for gains on sales of loans and securities, valuation of MSRs and other retained interests, amortization of MSRs and accounting for derivatives and interest rate risk management activities.

The fair values of the Company’s retained interests are affected primarily by changes in mortgage interest rates and required market yields. Mortgage interest rates have decreased slightly during the year; at the same time, estimated market yields on retained interests have increased. These factors resulted in changes to key assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s retained interests.

The long-term estimated weighted average prepayment speed (annual rate) for the MSRs was approximately 22% at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, while the weighted average note rate in the owned servicing portfolio declined over that period from 6.9% to 6.1%. The MSR option-adjusted spread (“OAS”) at September 30, 2003 ranged from 4.5% for conventional, conforming MSRs to 8.5% for subprime MSRs. In comparison, the MSR OAS at December 31, 2002 ranged from 2.9% for conventional, conforming MSRs to 6.9% for subprime MSRs.

The long-term estimated weighted average prepayment speed (annual rate) for the other retained interests has decreased from 34% at December 31, 2002 to 33% at September 30, 2003. The discount rates on the other retained interests increased from 15% at December 31, 2002 to 19% at September 30, 2003.

The Company computes MSR amortization by applying the ratio of current period MSR net cash flows to estimated total remaining undiscounted MSR net cash flows. The MSR amortization rate was 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 17% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2002

CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

The Company’s diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was $7.70, a 343% increase over diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Net earnings were $1,100.1 million, a 381% increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2002. This earnings performance was driven primarily by the increased level of mortgage loans produced by the Company—$125.9 billion—as compared to $63.6 billion for the year-ago period, combined with significantly improved earnings from the Company’s MSRs.

Industry-wide, residential mortgage originations were approximately $1,126 billion during the third quarter of 2003, up from approximately $670 billion in the third quarter of 2002 (Source: Fannie Mae). Approximately 71% of the residential mortgages produced in the third quarter of 2003 were refinancing transactions triggered primarily by historically low mortgage rates. The balance of mortgages produced related to home purchases. Partially fueled by the level of mortgage rates, activity in the U.S. housing market also reached record levels in the third quarter of 2003.

The increased demand for mortgages drove not only higher volumes but also high production margins. The combination of high volumes and margins increased Loan Production sector pre-tax earnings to $1,414.9 million for the quarter, an increase of $737.6 million from the year-ago period.

The pre-tax earnings in the Servicing sector, which incorporates the performance of the Company’s MSRs and other retained interests, was $73.7 million, an increase of $508.6 million over the year-ago period. This increase in pre-tax earnings was primarily attributable to recovery of MSR impairment, net of Servicing Hedge losses, totaling $230.6 in the current quarter, which was caused by the increase in mortgage rates during the period; as opposed to MSR impairment, net of Servicing Hedge gains, totaling $484.6 in the year-ago period.

These factors combined to produce pre-tax earnings of $1,515.5 million in the Mortgage Banking segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an increase of 485% from the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

The Company’s non-mortgage banking businesses also were significant contributors to the earnings performance in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. In particular, the Capital Markets segment recorded pre-tax earnings of $135.1 million, as compared to $55.0 million in the year-ago period. This segment continued to benefit from robust activity in the mortgage securities market, as well as from a highly-favorable interest rate environment. In addition, the Banking segment increased its pre-tax earnings by $63.0 million over the year ago quarter, driven primarily by growth in assets in Treasury Bank. In total,

non-mortgage banking businesses contributed $258.4 million in pre-tax earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an increase of 146% from the year-ago period.

MORTGAGE BANKING SEGMENT

The Mortgage Banking segment is comprised of three distinct sectors: Loan Production, Loan Servicing and Loan Closing Services.

Loan Production Sector

The Loan Production sector produces mortgage loans through the three production divisions of Countrywide Home Loan, Inc. (“CHL”) - Consumer Markets, Wholesale Lending and Correspondent Lending, as well as through Full Spectrum Lending, Inc. (“FSLI”).

Increased demand for residential mortgages enabled the Loan Production sector to achieve significant growth in revenues and earnings in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to the year-ago period. This performance was enhanced by a significant increase in market share from the year ago period. Favorable market conditions enabled the Company to increase revenues earned on prime first mortgage loans, while high levels of productivity helped keep unit costs low. These factors combined to produce continued high profit margins (pre-tax earnings as a percentage of loan volume) for the Loan Production sector. The increase in revenues as a percentage of loan volume in the current period is attributable to increased margins on Prime First Mortgages partially offset by a shift in origination and sale mix toward Prime First Mortgage loans, which generally have lower revenues than home equity or subprime loans.

Overall loan production for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased 84% in comparison to the year-ago period. All divisions, in particular the Correspondent Lending Division, contributed to the increase in origination volume. The increase was due primarily to a rise in non-purchase loan production of 109%. An increase in purchase production of 43% also contributed to the higher origination volume. The increase in purchase loans is significant as this is the relatively stable growth component of the mortgage market, with average annual growth of 8% over the last 10 years. (The non-purchase, or refinance, component of the mortgage market is highly volatile as it is driven almost exclusively by prevailing mortgage rates.)

As shown in the following table, the volume of Prime Home Equity and Subprime mortgages produced (which is included in the Company’s total volume of loans produced) increased 77% during the current period from the prior period:

Percent of total loan production

Prime Home Equity and Subprime loans carry higher profit margins historically and the demand for such loans is believed to be less rate sensitive than the demand for prime first mortgage loans. Consequently, Management believes these loans will be a significant component of the sector’s future growth, in particular if mortgage rates should rise significantly.

A major source of intrinsic value derived from the Company’s MSRs is the Company’s ability to retain its customers when they either refinance their loans or purchase new homes. The Company successfully retained a significant percentage of the customers who prepaid their mortgages during the period. The overall retention rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was 37% as compared to 33% for the year-ago period. The retention rate increased for purchase customers and decreased for refinance customers. The retention rate for purchase customers was 31% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 12% for the year-ago quarter. The retention rate for refinance customers was 38% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 51% for the year-ago quarter.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Loan Production Sector operated at approximately 125% of planned operational capacity. The primary capacity constraint in the Company’s loan origination activities is the number of loan operations personnel it has on staff. Therefore, the Company measures planned capacity with reference to the number of its loan operations personnel multiplied by the number of loans it expects each available loan operations staff person to process under normal conditions. As volume decreased in the current quarter, the Company began to make reductions in the operations staff (which includes a significant number of temporary employees). From its peak, the total number of operations personnel has been reduced by approximately two thousand. As volume continues to moderate, additional reductions will be made to the operations staff. Concurrent with this reduction in operations personnel will be a reduction in productivity to more sustainable levels that likely will result in higher overall unit costs. The Company plans to continue building its sales staff despite any potential drop in loan origination volume as a primary means to continue increasing the Company’s market share.

The following table summarizes the Loan Production sector workforce:

The Consumer Markets Division successfully grew its commissioned sales force during the period. At September 30, 2003, the commissioned sales force numbered 3,252, an increase of 281 during the quarter. The primary focus of the commissioned sales force is to increase overall purchase market share. The commissioned sales force contributed $8.3 billion in purchase originations during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an 114% increase over the year-ago period. The purchase production generated by the commissioned sales force represented 72% of the Consumer Markets Division’s purchase production for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, the Consumer Markets Division had 4 centralized processing units and 27 regional processing centers nationwide. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the regional processing centers handled 26% of the division’s total loan volume.

Like the Consumer Markets Division, the Wholesale Lending Division and FSLI continued to grow their sales forces as a core strategy to increase market share. At September 30, 2003, the sales force in the Wholesale Lending Division numbered 843, an increase of 4% during the quarter. FSLI expanded its sales force by 233, or 14%, during the quarter.

Loan Servicing Sector

The Loan Servicing sector reflects the performance of the Company’s investments in MSRs and other retained interests and associated risk management activities, as well as profits from subservicing activities in the United States. The Loan Servicing Sector includes a significant processing operation, consisting of 6,111 employees who service the Company’s 4.8 million mortgage customers. How effectively this servicing operation manages costs and generates ancillary income from the portfolio has a significant impact on the long-term performance of this sector.

*   Annualized

The Loan Servicing sector generated pre-tax income of $73.7 million during the recent period. Although prepayments remained high in the current quarter as reflected in an amortization charge of $666.4 million, mortgage rates increased resulting in an increase in the estimated fair value of the MSRs and recovery of previous MSR impairment of $345.5 million. In general, the value of the MSRs and other retained interests is closely linked to the estimated life of the underlying loans, which increased during the quarter due to the increase in mortgage rates. The amortization charge, net of impairment recovery was $320.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The combined amortization and impairment charge was $2,406.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Servicing Hedge generated a loss of $114.9 million. This loss resulted from an increase in long term Treasury and swap rates, which indices underlie the derivatives and securities that constitute the essential component of the Servicing Hedge. Amortization less impairment recovery, net of the Servicing Hedge, was $435.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, a decrease of $345.9 million over the quarter ended September 30, 2002. In a stable interest rate environment, Management would expect no significant impairment and would expect to incur expenses related to the Servicing Hedge driven primarily by the composition of the hedge, the shape of the yield curve and the level of interest rate volatility.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company continued to securitize a portion of its net servicing fees (“excess servicing”). Proceeds from the sale of these types of securities during the quarter amounted to $326.7 million. The remaining interest-only securities were classified as trading securities and included in “Investments in other financial instruments.” Management believes such securitizations enable the Company to improve the overall returns on its MSR investment and more efficiently manage its capital.

Despite the high level of prepayments, the Company increased its servicing portfolio to $606.1 billion at September 30, 2003, a 49% increase from September 30, 2002. At the same time, the overall weighted-average note rate of the loans serviced for others declined from 7.1% to 6.1%.

Loan Closing Services Sector

The LandSafe companies produced $27.0 million in pre-tax earnings, representing an increase of 60% from the year-ago period. The increase in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was primarily due to the increase in loan origination activity in the Loan Production sector.

NON-MORTGAGE BANKING BUSINESSES

The Company’s other business segments include Capital Markets, Banking, Insurance, and Global Operations. Combined pre-tax earnings from these other businesses increased $153.4 million, or 146%, in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 over the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Capital Markets Segment

The Capital Markets segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $135.1 million for the quarter, an increase of $80.0 million, or 145%, from the year-ago period. Total revenues were $197.2 million, an increase of $96.7 million, or 96% compared to the year ago period. Total securities trading volume increased 51% to $822.4 billion. This performance was driven largely by a highly favorable operating environment consisting of a robust mortgage securities market, high mortgage securities price volatility, and low short-term financing costs.

Banking Segment

The Banking segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $84.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $21.5 million for the year-ago period. Following is the composition of pre-tax earnings by company:

The Bank produced pre-tax earnings of $65.6 million for the quarter, an increase of $50.4 million over the year-ago period. The overall increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income arising from growth in average earning assets and increased profits of $8.3 million resulting from document custodian services provided to CHL. Average earning assets increased to $14.6 billion during the quarter, an increase of $10.9 billion in comparison to the year-ago period. Asset growth was funded primarily by the transfer of custodial balances controlled by CHL from third party banks to the Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and growth in the Bank’s retail deposit base. As of September 30, 2003, $6.8 billion of custodial balances controlled by CHL were placed as deposits in the Bank. The Bank’s annual pre-tax return on assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was 1.7% as compared to 1.6% for the year-ago quarter. The composition of the Bank’s assets was as follows:

CWL’s pre-tax earnings increased by $17.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to growth in average outstanding mortgage warehouse advances partially offset by a decline in the average net spread from 2.1% during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 1.9% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. For the current quarter, average mortgage warehouse advances outstanding were $5.2 billion, an increase of $3.7 billion in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in warehouse advances was largely attributable to growth in the overall mortgage originations market.

  $ 192,135     $ 147,334  
 
   
     
 

The Company’s mortgage reinsurance business produced $18.6 million in pre-tax earnings a decrease of 16% over the year-ago period. Net earned premiums increased 51% driven by growth in the Company’s loan servicing portfolio. The increase in net earned premiums was offset by a $14.5 million increase in provision for insurance claims losses. Insurance claims reserves are a function of expected remaining losses and premiums.

The Company’s Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $13.3 million, an increase of $7.7 million from the comparable quarter in 2002. The growth in earnings was driven by a $33.9 million, or 27%, increase in net earned premiums during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago quarter. The growth in net earned premiums was primarily attributable to growth in lender-placed insurance.

Global Operations Segment

For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Global Operations segment’s pre-tax earnings totaled $8.1 million, representing an improvement of $7.1 million in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in earnings was due to growth in the portfolio of mortgage loans subserviced and the number of new mortgage loans processed on behalf of Global Home Loan’s (GHL) minority joint venture partner, Barclays plc.

Gain on sale of loans and securities increased in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002 primarily due to higher Prime First Mortgage loan production and sales volume combined with higher margins on Prime First Mortgages, partially offset by reduced sales of Subprime and Prime Home Equity Mortgages. Margins on Prime First Mortgages were high in both periods on a relative historical basis, due largely to the very favorable mortgage market environment that prevailed during those periods. That mortgage market was characterized by record consumer demand for mortgages and modest price competition by historical industry standards. Management expects margins, particularly on Prime First Mortgages, to decline in the future as the level of mortgage originations subsides.

The Company did not sell any Prime Home Equity Loans during the quarter. The Company plans to hold these loans as long-term investments in the form of securities and loans.

Capital Markets’ revenues from its trading activities consist of gains on the sale of securities and net interest income. In a very 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 increase in Capital Markets’ gain on sale of loans related to its mortgage conduit activities was due to increased acquisitions and sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago period.

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 the Company’s associated interest rate risk management activities.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is summarized below for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                     
        Quarter Ended September 30,
       
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

 
 
Net interest income (expense):

Net interest income
  $ 420,829     $ 181,594  
 
   
     
 

The increase in net interest income from mortgage loans and securities held for sale reflects an increase in the average mortgage inventory resulting from increased production during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Net interest expense from custodial balances increased in the current period due to the substantial increase in loan payoffs over the year-ago period. The Company is 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 the Company on the payoff float. The amount of such interest passed through to the security holders was $131.9 million and $54.8 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the earnings rate on the custodial balances, which is tied to short-term rates, declined from 1.6% during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 0.9% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Average custodial balances increased by $13.1 billion, or 119%, over the prior period, due largely to the increase in loan payoffs.

Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing sector decreased due to a decline in short-term rates (a portion of the Company’s long-term debt is variable-rate), combined with a decrease in total sector assets.

Re-performing loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were consequently re-purchased from mortgage securities issued by the Company or others. Such loans are subsequently securitized and re-sold. The increase in interest income related to this activity is a result of an increase in the average balance of such loans.

The increase in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities trading portfolio is attributable to an increase of 75% in the average inventory of securities held, partially offset by a decrease in the average net spread earned from 4.1% in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 3.2% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the average net spread is the result of a flatter yield curve.

The increase in net interest income from the Banking segment was primarily attributable to growth in earning assets both in the Bank and CWL. Average assets in the Banking segment increased to $19.8 billion during the quarter, an increase of $14.6 billion over the year-ago quarter.

The increase in net interest income from home equity AAA asset-backed securities is due to an increase in the average inventory of securities held.

Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from Retained Interests

Loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests are summarized below for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    Quarter Ended September 30,
   
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

 
 
Service fees, net of guarantee fees
  $ 497,924     $ 366,674  
Income from other retained interests
    134,267       63,013  
Prepayment penalties
    52,651       29,904  
Late charges
    39,232       32,972  
Global Operations segment subservicing fees
    22,089       11,763  
Ancillary fees
    18,082       14,170  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 764,245     $ 518,496  
 
   
     
 

The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to a 50% increase in the average servicing portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in the overall net service fee earned from 0.38% of the average portfolio balance during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 0.34% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The reduction in the overall net service fee was largely due to the securitization of excess service fees.

The increase in income from other retained interests was due primarily to a 45% increase in investment balances during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 combined with an increase in the effective yield of these investments from 20.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 30.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. 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 Prime Home Equity loans.

Higher prepayment penalties in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 correspond to the increase in Subprime loan payoffs during the quarter.

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 $96 billion and $60 billion at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Amortization of Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company recorded amortization of MSRs of $666.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $297.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The increase in amortization of MSRs was primarily due to a reduction in future estimated net MSR cash flows primarily due to forecasted higher mortgage prepayments when compared to the year-ago period.

Impairment or Recovery of Retained Interest and Servicing Hedge Gains (Losses)

Recovery of impairment and impairment of retained interests and Servicing Hedge gains and losses are detailed below for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                   
      Quarter Ended September 30,
     
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

 
 
Recovery of impairment/(impairment) of retained interests:
               
 
MSRs
  $ 331,598     $ (2,073,631 )
 
Other retained interests (permanent)
    13,879       (36,019 )
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 345,477     $ (2,109,650 )
 
   
     
 
Servicing Hedge:
               
 
Hedge gains (losses) recorded through earnings
  $ (114,854 )   $ 1,625,097  
 
 
   
     
 
 
  $ (114,854 )   $ 1,625,097  
 
   
     
 

The recovery of impairment of MSRs and other retained interests during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 resulted from an increase in the estimated fair value of those investments driven by an increase in mortgage rates during the quarter. Conversely, mortgage rates declined during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, resulting in MSR impairment of $2,073.6 million.

Rising mortgage rates in the future should result in an increase in the estimated fair value of the MSRs and recovery of all or a portion of the temporary impairment. The MSR amortization rate, which is tied to the expected net cash flows from the MSRs, likewise should decrease as mortgage rates rise.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, long-term Treasury and swap rates increased, resulting in a Servicing Hedge loss of $114.9 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Servicing Hedge generated a gain of $1,625.1 million.

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 policies-in-force.

Commissions and Other Income

Commissions and other income consisted of the following for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    Quarter Ended September 30,
   
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

 
 
Global Operations segment processing fees
  $ 19,145     $ 12,518  
Appraisal fees, net
    18,417       12,900

  $ 119,138     $ 96,450  
 
   
     
 

Page 37

The increase in processing fees earned in the Global Operations segment was due to growth in the number of loans processed.

The increase in appraisal and title services fees is primarily due to the increased volume of mortgage loan originations in the Loan Production sector.

Compensation expenses increased $295.9 million, or 56%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Compensation expenses in the Mortgage Banking segment increased primarily due to growth in the level of loan production activity. In the Loan Production sector, compensation expenses increased $255.5 million, or 89%, as a result of a 63% increase in average staff to support 84% higher loan production. Salaries rose 76% and incentive bonus and commissions rose 87%. The relative increase in incentive bonuses and commissions reflects a shift towards a more incentive-based compensation structure within the Loan Production sector. In the Loan Servicing sector, compensation expense rose $13.6 million, or 27%, as a result of an increase in average staff of 25% to support a 30% increase in the number of loans serviced and an 133% increase in the number of loan payoffs.

Compensation expenses increased in all other business segments reflecting the segments’ growth.

Page 38


Table of Contents

In the Insurance segment, compensation expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 1%, as a result of an increase of 7% in average staff to support growth of 30% in net earned premiums and growth in the Insurance segment’s third-party insurance tracking operation.

Banking segment compensation expenses increased by $6.7 million to accommodate the growth of the Bank’s operations, primarily in its labor-intensive mortgage document custodian business.

In the Capital Markets segment, incentive bonuses increased $10.4 million, or 37%, reflecting growth in revenues of 96%.

Occupancy and Other Office Expenses

Occupancy and other office expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased by $44.0 million or 38%, primarily to accommodate personnel growth in the Loan Production sector, which accounted for 68% of the increase, as well as in the non-mortgage banking businesses, which accounted for 10% of the increase in this expense.

Insurance Claim Expenses

Insurance claim expenses were $103.2 million, or 54%, of net insurance premiums earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $75.2 million, or 51%, of net insurance premiums earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Balboa Life and Casualty’s loss ratio (including allocated loss adjustment expenses) decreased from 60% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 56% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, due to lower claims experience in both voluntary homeowners’ and lender-placed insurance lines. Insurance claims expenses of Balboa Reinsurance, which are a function of expected remaining losses and premiums, increased $14.5 million over the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Expected remaining premiums have declined due to an increase in estimated prepayments within the portfolio of insured loans.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are summarized below:

                 
    Quarter Ended September 30,
   
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

  $ 195,709     $ 131,875  
 
   
     
 

Professional fees increased from the prior period primarily due to increased legal costs and consulting services.

Insurance commission expense as a percentage of insurance premiums earned declined from 22% to 17% between the two periods primarily due to reduced contingent commissions accruing to insurance agents as a result of higher than anticipated insured losses on certain lender-placed auto policies. Contingent commissions are paid only on certain lender-placed auto policies sourced through agents.

Bad debt expense consists primarily of losses during the period arising from unreimbursed servicing advances on defaulted loans, credit losses arising from repurchased or indemnified loans and defaulted VA-guaranteed loans. The increase in bad

debt expense is due to an increase in the number of such losses, primarily attributable to growth in the servicing portfolio. (See the “Credit Risk” section of this Report for a further discussion of credit risk.)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

The Company’s diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $13.05, an 187% increase over diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Net earnings were $1,809.2 million, a 208% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This earnings performance was driven primarily by the increased level of mortgage loans produced by the Company—$358.5 billion—as compared to $149.8 billion for the year-ago period, partially offset by a reduction in value of the Company’s MSRs and other retained interests.

Industry-wide, residential mortgage originations were approximately $2,987 billion during the first nine months of 2003, up from approximately $1,759 billion in the first nine months of 2002 (Source: Fannie Mae). Approximately 71% of the residential mortgages produced in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were refinances triggered primarily by low mortgage rates. The balance of mortgages produced related to home purchases. Partially fueled by the level of mortgage rates, purchase activity in the U.S. housing market also reached record levels in the first nine months of 2003.

The continued high demand for mortgages drove not only high volumes but also high production margins. The combination of high volumes and margins yielded Loan Production sector pre-tax earnings of $3,506.9 million for the nine months, an increase of $2,014.4 million from the year-ago period.

The high levels of mortgage refinances and home purchases resulted in significant prepayments within the Company’s mortgage loan servicing portfolio during the period. This, along with the expectation of continued higher-than-normal prepayments in the future due to low mortgage rates, resulted in significant amortization and impairment of the Company’s MSRs and other retained interests. The combined amount of amortization and impairment of MSRs and other retained interests, net of Servicing Hedge gains, was $2,815.4 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1,316.6 million in the Loan Servicing sector for the current nine months, $457.1 million more than the pre-tax loss in the year-ago period.

These factors combined to produce pre-tax earnings of $2,272.2 million in the Mortgage Banking segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $1,593.9 million, or 235%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

The Company’s non-mortgage banking businesses also were significant contributors to the earnings performance in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. In particular, the Capital Markets segment had pre-tax earnings of $346.2 million, as compared to $132.1 million in the year-ago period. This segment continued to benefit from robust activity in the mortgage securities market, as well as from a highly-favorable interest rate environment. In addition, the Banking segment increased its pre-tax earnings by $147.2 million over the year ago period, driven by growth in earnings assets in the Banking segment. In total, non-mortgage banking businesses contributed $647.6 million in pre-tax earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of 152% from the year-ago period.

Increased demand for residential mortgages enabled the Loan Production sector to achieve significant growth in revenues and earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the year-ago period. This performance was enhanced by a significant increase in market share from the year ago period. Favorable market conditions enabled the Company to increase revenues earned on Prime First Mortgage loans, while high levels of productivity helped keep unit costs low. These factors combined to produce continued high profit margins (pre-tax earnings as a percentage of loan volume) for the Loan Production sector. The decline in revenues as a percentage of loan volume in the current period is attributable primarily to unsold loan production, which amounted to 9% of the loans produced during the nine months, as well as to a shift in the origination and sales mix toward Prime First Mortgage loans, which have lower revenues than Prime Home Equity or Subprime loans. Substantially all of the unsold loans were classified as held for sale at September 30, 2003.

Overall loan production for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased 129% in comparison to the year-ago period. All divisions, in particular Correspondent Lending, contributed to the increase in origination volume. The increase was due primarily to a rise in non-purchase loan production of 186%. An increase in purchase production of 46% also contributed to the higher origination volume. The increase in purchase loans is significant as this is the relatively stable growth component of the mortgage market, with average annual growth of 8% over the last 10 years. (The non-purchase, or refinance, component of the mortgage market is highly volatile as it is driven almost exclusively by prevailing mortgage rates.)

Prime Home Equity and Subprime loans carry higher profit margins historically and the demand for such loans is believed to be less rate sensitive than the demand for prime first mortgage loans. Consequently, Management believes these loans will be a significant component of the sector’s future growth, in particular if mortgage rates should rise significantly.

A major source of intrinsic value derived from the Company’s MSRs is the Company’s ability to retain its customers when they either refinance their loans or purchase new homes. The Company successfully retained a significant percentage of the customers who prepaid their mortgages during the period. The overall retention rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 40% as compared to 35% for the year-ago period. The retention rate increased for purchase customers and decreased for refinance customers. The retention rate for purchase customers was 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 12% for the year-ago period. The retention rate for refinance customers was 43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 62% for the year-ago period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Loan Production Sector operated at approximately 124% of planned operational capacity. The primary capacity constraint in the Company’s loan origination activities is the number of loan operations personnel it has on staff. Therefore, the Company measures planned capacity with reference to the number of its loan operations personnel multiplied by the number of loans it expects each available loan operations staff person to process under normal conditions. As volume decreased towards the end of the current period, the Company began to make reductions in operations staff (which includes a significant number of temporary employees). From its peak, the total number of operations personnel has been reduced by approximately two thousand. As volume continues to moderate, additional reductions will be made to operations staff. Concurrent with this reduction in operations personnel will be a reduction in productivity to more sustainable levels that likely will result in higher overall unit costs. The Company plans to continue building its sales staff despite any potential drop in loan origination volume as a primary means to continue increasing the Company’s market share.

The Consumer Markets Division successfully grew its commissioned sales force during the period. At September 30, 2003, the commissioned sales force numbered 3,252 an increase of 768 during the nine months. The primary focus of the commissioned sales force is to increase overall purchase market share. The commissioned sales force contributed $18.9 billion in purchase originations in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an 101% increase over the year-ago period. The purchase production generated by the commissioned sales force represented 70% of the Consumer Markets Division’s purchase production for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, the Consumer Markets Division had 4 centralized processing units and 27 regional processing centers nationwide. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the regional processing centers handled 25% of the division’s total loan volume.

Like the Consumer Markets Division, the Wholesale Lending Division and FSLI continued to grow their sales forces as a core strategy to increase market share. At September 30, 2003, the sales force in the Wholesale Lending Division numbered 843, an increase of 21% during the nine months. FSLI expanded its sales force by 837, or 82%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Loan Servicing Sector

The Loan Servicing sector reflects the performance of the Company’s investments in MSRs and other retained interests and associated risk management activities, as well as profits from subservicing activities in the United States. The Loan Servicing sector includes a significant processing operation, consisting of approximately 6,111 employees who service the Company’s 4.8 million mortgage customers. How effectively this servicing operation manages costs and generates ancillary income from the portfolio has a significant impact on the long-term performance of this sector.

The Loan Servicing sector experienced continued losses during the recent period, driven by high amortization and impairment of the Company’s retained interests. The amortization and impairment charges reflect the loss in value of the Company’s retained interests primarily caused by the high level of actual and forecasted prepayments in the Company’s mortgage servicing portfolio. In general, the value of the retained interests is closely linked to the estimated life of the underlying loans, which in recent periods has declined primarily due to the decline in mortgage rates. The combined impairment and amortization charge was $3,454.9 million and $3,619.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Servicing Hedge generated a gain of $639.6 million. This gain resulted from a decline during much of the current period in long-term Treasury and swap rates, which indices underlie the derivatives and securities that constitute the essential component of the Servicing Hedge. Amortization and impairment, net of the Servicing Hedge, was $2,815.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $952.8 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In a stable interest rate environment, Management would expect no significant impairment and would expect to incur expenses related to the Servicing Hedge driven primarily by the composition of the hedge, the shape of the yield curve and the level of interest rate volatility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company securitized a portion of its net servicing fees (“excess servicing”). Proceeds from the sale of a portion of these securities amounted to $638.5 million. The remaining interest-only securities were classified as a trading securities and included in “Investments in other financial instruments” at September 30, 2003. Management believes such securitizations enable the Company to improve the overall returns on its MSR investment and more efficiently manage its capital.

Despite the high level of prepayments, the Company increased its servicing portfolio to $606.1 billion at September 30, 2003, a 49% increase from September 30, 2002. At the same time, the overall weighted-average note rate of loans serviced for others declined from 7.1% to 6.1%.

Loan Closing Services Sector

The LandSafe companies produced $81.9 million in pre-tax earnings, representing an increase of 81% from the year-ago period. The increase in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was primarily due to the increase in loan origination activity in the Loan Production sector.

NON-MORTGAGE BANKING BUSINESSES

The Company’s other business segments include Capital Markets, Banking, Insurance and Global Operations. Pre-tax earnings from these other businesses increased $390.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 over the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Capital Markets Segment

The Capital Markets segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $346.2 million for the nine months, an increase of $214.1 million, or 162%, from the year-ago period. Total revenues were $528.4 million, an increase of $264.8 million, or 100% compared to the year ago period. Total securities trading volume increased 64% to $2,274.3 billion. This performance was driven largely by a highly favorable operating environment consisting of a robust mortgage securities market, high mortgage securities price volatility, and low short-term financing costs.

Banking Segment

The Banking segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $195.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $47.9 million for the year-ago period. Following is the composition of pre-tax earnings by company:

The Bank produced pre-tax earnings of $144.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $110.5 million over the prior year period. The overall increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income arising from growth in average earning assets and a $27.8 million increase in profits from the Bank’s document custodian services provided to CHL. Average earning assets increased to $10.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $7.9 billion in comparison to the year-ago period. Asset growth was funded primarily by the transfer of custodial balances controlled by CHL from third party banks to the Bank, two capital contributions from CFC, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and growth in the Bank’s retail deposit base. As of September 30, 2003, $6.8 billion of custodial balances controlled by CHL were placed as deposits in the Bank. The Bank’s annual pre-tax return on assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 1.8% as compared to 1.6% for the year-ago period. The composition of the Bank’s assets was as follows:

CWL’s pre-tax earnings increased by $48.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to growth in average outstanding mortgage warehouse advances partially offset by a decline in the average net spread from 2.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 1.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. For the current nine months, average mortgage warehouse advances outstanding were $4.4 billion, an increase of $3.4 billion in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in warehouse advances was largely attributable to growth in the overall mortgage originations market.

  $ 531,454     $ 397,382  
 
   
     
 

The Company’s mortgage reinsurance business produced $62.1 million in pre-tax earnings, due primarily to a 58% increase in net earned premiums that was driven by growth in the Company’s loan servicing portfolio, offset by a $34.5 million increase in insurance claims reserves. Insurance claims reserves are a function of expected remaining claims losses and premiums.

The Company’s Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $34.9 million, an increase of $21.2 million from the comparable period in 2002. The growth in earnings was driven by an $100.5 million, or 30%, increase in net earned premiums during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago period. The growth in net earned premiums was primarily attributable to growth in lender-placed insurance.

Global Operations Segment

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Global Operations segment’s pre-tax earnings totaled $13.7 million, representing an increase of $14.5 million in comparison to the year-ago period. Results in the current period were positively impacted by growth in the portfolio of mortgage loans subserviced and the number of new mortgage loans processed on behalf of GHL’s minority joint venture partner, Barclays plc.

Gain on sale of loans and securities increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily due to higher Prime First Mortgage loan production and sales volume combined with higher margins on Prime First Mortgages. Margins on Prime First Mortgages were high in both periods on a relative historical basis, due largely to the very favorable mortgage market environment that prevailed during those periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company sold a small portion of Prime Home Equity Loans produced. The Company plans to hold the remaining Prime Home Equity Loans as long-term investments in the form of securities or loans.

Capital Markets’ revenues from its trading activities consist of gains on the sale of securities and net interest income. In a very 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 increase in Capital Markets’ gain on sale of loans related to its conduit activities was due to increased acquisitions and sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the year-ago period.

In general, gain on sale of loans and securities are 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 the Company’s associated interest rate risk management activities.

The increase in net interest income from mortgage loans and securities held for sale reflects an increase in the average inventory resulting from increased production during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Net interest expense from custodial balances increased in the current period due to the substantial increase in loan payoffs over the year-ago period. The Company is 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 the Company on payoff float. The amount of such interest passed through to the security holders was $342.7 million and $123.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the earnings rate on the custodial balances, which is tied to short-term rates, declined from 1.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 1.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Average custodial balances increased by $10.2 billion, or 106%, over the prior period, due largely to the increase in loan payoffs.

Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing sector decreased due primarily to a decline in short-term rates (a portion of the Company’s long-term debt is variable-rate), combined with a decrease in total sector assets.

Re-performing loans are reinstated loans that had previously defaulted and were consequently re-purchased from mortgage securities issued by the Company or others. Such loans are subsequently securitized and re-sold.

The increase in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities trading portfolio is attributable to an increase of 77% in the average inventory of securities held, partially offset by a decrease in the average net spread earned from 4.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 3.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the average net spread is the result of a flatter yield curve.

The increase in net interest income from the Banking segment was primarily attributable to year-over-year earning asset growth in both the Bank and CWL. Average assets in the Banking segment increased to $15.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $11.3 billion over the year-ago period.

The increase in net interest income from home equity AAA asset-backed securities is due to an increase in the average inventory of securities held.

Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from Retained Interests

Loan servicing fees and other income from retained interests are summarized below for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,
   
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

 
 
Service fees, net of guarantee fees
  $ 1,394,482     $ 1,051,313  
Income from other retained interests
    307,623       156,695  
Prepayment penalties
    133,397       78,788  
Late charges
    109,855       94,140  
Global Operations segment subservicing fees
    66,113       31,286  
Ancillary fees
    48,944       36,592  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 2,060,414     $ 1,448,814  
 
   
     
 

The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to a 45% increase in the average servicing portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in the overall net service fee earned from 0.39% of the average portfolio balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 0.35% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The reduction in the overall net service fee was largely due to the securitization of excess service fees.

The increase in income from other retained interests was due primarily to a 39% increase in investment balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 combined with an increase in the effective yield of these investments from 19% in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 26% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. 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 Prime Home Equity loans.

Higher prepayment penalties in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 correspond to the increase in Subprime loan payoffs during the nine months.

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 $96 billion and $60 billion at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Amortization of Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company recorded amortization of MSRs of $1,586.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $799.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in amortization of MSRs was primarily due to a reduction in future estimated net MSR cash flows primarily due to forecasted higher mortgage prepayments when compared to the year-ago period.

Impairment or Recovery of Retained Interests and Servicing Hedge Gains (Losses)

Impairment of retained interests and Servicing Hedge gains are detailed below for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                   
      Nine Months Ended September 30,
     
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

Other retained interests (permanent)
    105,953       86,190

  $ 639,588     $ 1,757,071  
 
 
   
     
 

Impairment of MSRs and other retained interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 resulted from a reduction in the estimated fair value of those investments primarily driven by the decline in mortgage rates during the period.

Rising mortgage rates in the future should result in an increase in the estimated fair value of the MSRs and recovery of all or a portion of the temporary impairment. The MSR amortization rate, which is tied to the expected net cash flows from the MSRs, likewise should reduce as mortgage rates rise.

During much of the nine months ended September 30, 2003, long-term Treasury and swap rates declined, resulting in a Servicing Hedge gain of $639.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Servicing Hedge generated a gain of $1,757.1 million.

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 policies-in-force.

Commissions and Other Income

Commissions and other income consisted of the following for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,
   
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   2003   2002

  $ 361,873     $ 250,157  
 
   
     
 

Page 52


Table of Contents

The increase in processing fees earned in the Global Operations segment was due to growth in the number of loans processed.

The increase in credit report, appraisal and title service fees is primarily due to the increased volume of mortgage loan originations in the Loan Production sector.

The decrease in insurance agency commissions is due to discontinuation of the agency’s home warranty and auto lines.

Compensation Expenses

Compensation expenses are summarized below for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

Compensation expenses increased $896.8 million, or 68%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Compensation expenses in the Mortgage Banking segment increased primarily due to growth in the level of loan production activity. In the Loan Production sector, compensation expenses increased $724.5 million, or 102%, as a result of a 69% increase in average staff to support 129% higher loan production. Salaries rose 71% and incentive bonus and commissions rose 117%. The relative increase in incentive bonuses and commissions reflects a shift towards a more incentive-based compensation structure within the Loan Production sector. In the Loan Servicing sector, compensation expense rose $34.7 million, or 24%, as a result of an increase in average staff of 22% to support a 30% increase in the number of loans serviced and an 155% increase in the number of loan payoffs. Compensation expenses in the Loan Closing sector increased $18.8 million, or 49% as a result of an increase in average staff of 30% to support increased activity in this sector.

Compensation expenses increased in all other business segments reflecting their growth.

Page 53


Table of Contents

In the Insurance segment, compensation expenses increased by $4.5 million, or 6%, as a result of an increase of 11% in average staff to support growth of 34% in net earned premiums and growth in the Insurance Segment’s third-party insurance tracking operation.

In the Capital Markets segment, incentive bonuses increased $33.5 million, or 41%, reflecting growth in revenues of 100%.

Banking segment compensation expenses increased by $26.0 million to accommodate the growth of the Bank’s operations, primarily in its labor-intensive mortgage document custodian business.

Compensation expenses in the Global Operations segment increased $20.4 million, or 52%, as a result of an increase in average staff of 43% resulting from the addition of a facility to process the additional volume of loans serviced in GHL. Compensation expenses for Corporate Administration increased $29.4 million, or 15%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to an increase in average staff of 22% to support the overall growth in the Company.

Occupancy and Other Office Expenses

Occupancy and other office expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased primarily to accommodate personnel growth in the Loan Production sector, which accounted for 65% of the increase, as well as growth in the non-mortgage banking businesses, which accounted for 15% of the increase in this expense.

Insurance Claims Expenses

Insurance claim expenses were $277.1 million, or 52%, of net insurance premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $186.4 million, or 47%, of net insurance premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in insurance claim expenses was attributable to higher premiums and an increase in insurance claims expenses of Balboa Reinsurance, of $34.5 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Reinsurance claims expenses are a function of expected remaining losses and premiums. Expected remaining premiums have declined due to an increase in estimated prepayments within the portfolio of insured loans. The loss ratio (including allocated loss adjustment expenses) of Balboa Life and Casualty was 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are summarized below:

  $ 494,570     $ 368,735  
 
   
     
 

Insurance commission expense as a percentage of insurance premiums earned declined from 23% to 18% between the two periods primarily due to reduced contingent commissions accruing to insurance agents as a result of higher than anticipated insured losses on certain lender-placed auto policies. Contingent commissions are paid only on certain lender-placed auto policies sourced through agents.

Page 54


Table of Contents

Professional fees increased from the prior period due primarily to increased legal costs and consulting services.

Bad debt expense consists primarily of losses during the period arising from unreimbursed servicing advances on defaulted loans, credit losses arising from repurchased or indemnified loans and defaulted VA-guaranteed loans. (See the “Credit Risk” section of this Report for a further discussion of credit risk.)

Software amortization and impairment expense increased in the current period primarily as a result of capitalized software write-offs of $16.5 million related to software no longer in use.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk. From an enterprise perspective, the Company manages this risk through the natural counterbalance of its loan production and servicing businesses. The Company also uses various financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage the interest rate risk related specifically to its Committed Pipeline, Mortgage Loan Inventory and Mortgage-Backed Securities held for sale, MSRs and other retained interests, trading securities as well as a portion of its debt. The overall objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of reported 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

The Company performs various sensitivity analyses that quantify the net financial impact of changes in interest rates on its 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.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of the Company’s interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments as of September 30, 2003, given several hypothetical (instantaneous) parallel shifts in the yield curve:

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company reduced its reliance on derivatives to manage the interest rate risk related to its MSRs in favor of the benefits it expects would be realized through the increased profitability in the Loan Production sector in the event mortgage rates were to decline further. This strategy has the benefit of reducing potential derivative losses in the event mortgage rates rise in the future.

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 occur over time. In addition, not all of the changes in fair value would impact current period earnings. MSRs are carried at lower of cost or market; therefore, absent hedge accounting, the increase in the value of the MSRs that is recorded in current period earnings would be limited to recovery of the impairment reserve ($1.7 billion at September 30, 2003.) Debt is carried at cost; therefore, absent hedge accounting, changes in the value of debt are not recorded in current period earnings. Consequently, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Foreign Currency Risk

An additional, albeit less significant, market risk facing the Company is foreign currency risk. The Company has issued foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes. The Company manages the foreign currency risk associated with such medium-term notes through currency swap transactions. The terms of the currency swaps effectively translate the foreign currency denominated medium-term notes into United States dollars, thereby eliminating the associated foreign currency risk (subject to the performance of the various counterparties to the currency swaps). 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 originated by the Company are securitized and sold into the secondary mortgage market. As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, the degree to which credit risk on the underlying loans is transferred through the securitization process depends on the structure of the securitization. The Company’s Prime First Mortgage Loans generally are securitized on a non-recourse basis, while its Prime Home Equity and Subprime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized with limited recourse for credit losses.

Page 57


Table of Contents

The Company’s exposure to credit losses related to its limited recourse securitization activities is limited to the carrying value of its subordinated interests and to the contractual limit of reimbursable losses under its corporate guarantees less the recorded liability for such guarantees. These amounts at September 30, 2003 are as follows:

           
(Dollar amounts in thousands)   September 30,
2003

 
Subordinated Interests:
       
 
Prime Home Equity residual securities
  $ 387,961  
 
Subprime residual securities
    416,729  
 
Prime Home Equity transferors’ interests
    240,543  
 
 
   
 
 
  $ 1,045,233  
 
 
   
 
Corporate guarantees in excess of recorded reserves
  $ 94,474  
 
 
   
 

The carrying value of the residual securities is net of expected future credit losses.

Related to the Company’s non-recourse and limited recourse securitization activities, the total credit losses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are summarized as follows:

                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,

Mortgage Reinsurance

The Company provides mortgage reinsurance through contracts with several primary mortgage insurance companies on mortgage loans included in the Company’s servicing portfolio. Under these contracts, the Company absorbs mortgage insurance 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. Approximately $64.3 billion of mortgage loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio are covered by such mortgage reinsurance contracts. The reinsurance contracts place limits on the Company’s maximum exposure to losses. At September 30, 2003, the maximum aggregate losses under the reinsurance contracts was $328.3 million. The Company is required to pledge securities to cover this potential liability. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company did not incur any losses under its reinsurance contracts.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

At September 30, 2003, mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $29.4 billion. While the loans are in inventory, the Company bears total 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.

Page 58


Table of Contents

Portfolio Lending Activities

The Company also holds a portfolio of secured mortgage warehouse advances and mortgage loans held for investment, primarily in its Banking segment, which amounted to $18.8 billion at September 30, 2003. Management believes the allowance for related loan losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loans held for investment at September 30, 2003.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by its trading counterparties and counterparties to its various non-exchange-traded derivative financial instruments. The Company manages 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 Company’s exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty is equal to the net unrealized gains associated with the counterparty’s open trades or derivative contracts, net of any available collateral retained by the Company, a custodian or the Mortgage-Backed Securities Clearing Corporation, which is an independent clearing agent.

The aggregate amount of counterparty credit exposure at September 30, 2003, before and after collateral held, was as follows:

         
(Dollar amounts in millions)        

       
Aggregate credit exposure before collateral held
  $ 910  
Less: collateral held
    (418 )
 
   
 
Net aggregate unsecured credit exposure
  $ 492  
 
   
 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred no losses due to the non-performance of any of its counterparties.

Management attributes the overall decline in delinquencies in the Company’s servicing portfolio primarily to the relative overall increase in the conventional and prime home equity portfolios, which carry lower delinquency rates relative to the government and subprime portfolios. Management believes the delinquency rates in the Company’s servicing portfolio are consistent with industry experience for similar mortgage loan portfolios.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, growth in loan origination, banking and capital markets activities significantly increased the Company’s overall financing requirements. In response, the Company established a $17.2 billion facility that provides for the issuance of short-term notes and short-term callable notes secured by mortgage loans. In addition, the Company obtained an additional $2.6 billion in uncommitted secured lines of credit. With these additional lines of credit, Management believes the Company has adequate financing capacity to meet its current needs.

In April 2003 the Company issued $500 million of trust-preferred securities. Trust-preferred securities receive varying degrees of “equity treatment” from rating agencies, bank lenders and regulators. See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for additional discussion.

In May 2003 the Company raised $150 million in common stock through a secondary offering.

The Company has zero-coupon Liquid Yield Option Notes (“LYONs”) outstanding. These securities are convertible to common stock during a calendar quarter if the Company’s stock price exceeds the Contingent Conversion Stock Price for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter. The Contingent Conversion Stock Price at September 30, 2003 was $87.59 per share. As of November 10, 2003, the market price of the Company’s stock exceeded the Contingent Conversion Stock Price. If the LYONs are converted to common stock in the first quarter of 2004, 7.8 million common shares would be issued and shareholders’ equity would increase by the book value of the LYONs at the time of conversion. The book value of LYONs at September 30, 2003 was $513.9 million.

At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios were as follows:

                                           
              September 30, 2003   December 31, 2002

Cash Flow

Cash flow used by operating activities was $5.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The reduction in cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to an $17.2 billion net increase in mortgage loans held for sale.

Net cash used in investing activities was $25.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $8.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Cash flow used in investing activities in both periods was primarily attributable to investments in available-for-sale securities, loans held for investment and mortgage servicing rights.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $30.9 billion, compared to $5.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was comprised of an $16.6 billion net increase in short-term (primarily secured) borrowings, a $3.9 billion net increase in long-term debt, and a $3.6 billion net increase in bank deposit liabilities.

PROSPECTIVE TRENDS

Total United States mortgage originations were estimated at approximately $2.5 trillion for 2002. Fannie Mae estimates the market at $3.0 trillion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Fannie Mae, along with other forecasters, put the market for 2003 at between $3.3 trillion and $3.5 trillion. Such a market would be highly favorable for the Company’s loan production business and would place continuing pressure on its loan servicing business (including the Company’s investment in MSRs) due to continuing higher than normal mortgage loan prepayment activity.

The long-term consolidation trend in the residential mortgage industry continued in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. According to the trade publication, Inside Mortgage Finance, the top five originators produced 51.7% of all loans originated during the first nine months of calendar 2003, as compared to 47% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Following is a comparison of market share for the top five originators, according to Inside Mortgage Finance:

                   
      Nine Months Ended   Nine Months Ended

Management believes the consolidation trend in the residential mortgage industry will continue, as industry market forces will continue to drive out weak competitors. The Company believes it will benefit from this trend through increased market share. Management believes that irrational price competition—which from time to time has plagued the industry in the past—should lessen in the future.

Compared to the Company, 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 the Company at a competitive disadvantage in the future if the demand for adjustable rate mortgages increases significantly, the secondary mortgage market does not provide a competitive outlet for these loans and the Company is unable to develop a portfolio lending capacity similar to the competition.

Regulatory Trends

The regulatory environments in which the Company operates have an impact on the activities in which the Company 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 the Company is able to operate profitably. For example,

Page 62


Table of Contents

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, thereby resulting in a reduction of otherwise legitimate sub-prime lending opportunities. Similarly, certain proposed state and federal privacy legislation, if passed, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to cross-sell the non-mortgage products offered by Countrywide’s various divisions to its customer base in a cost effective manner.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Certain statements contained herein, such as statements concerning management’s expectations regarding margin levels and the assumptions underlying the value of MSRs and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). 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.

Forward-looking statements give management’s expectation about the future and are not guarantees. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s 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. The Company does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.

General business, economic and political conditions may significantly affect the Company’s earnings.

The Company’s business and earnings are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, and the strength of the U.S. economy, and the local economies in which the Company conducts business. If any of these conditions worsen, the Company’s business and earnings could be adversely affected. For example, business and economic conditions that negatively impact household incomes could decrease the demand for the Company’s mortgage loans and increase the number of customers who become delinquent or default on their loans, or a rising interest rate environment could decrease the demand for loans.

In addition, the Company’s business and earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. The Company is particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. The Federal Reserve Board’s policies influence the size of the mortgage origination market, which significantly impacts the earnings of the Company’s Loan Production sector and the value of the Company’s investment in MSRs and other retained interests. The Federal Reserve Board’s policies also influence the yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets and the cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in those policies are beyond the Company’s control and difficult to predict.

Political conditions can also impact the Company’s earnings. Acts or threats of war or terrorism, as well as actions taken by the U.S. or other governments in response to such acts or threats, could impact business and economic conditions in the U.S.

If the Company is unable to effectively manage the volatility of its mortgage banking business, the Company’s earnings could be affected.

The level and volatility of interest rates significantly affect the mortgage banking industry. For example, a low interest rate environment typically results in loan prepayments that negatively impact the value of MSRs. The Company attempts to manage this risk through the natural counterbalance of its loan production and servicing operations. In addition, the Company also attempts to mitigate this risk through the purchase of financial instruments, primarily derivatives, that generally increase in value when long-term interest rates decline. The success of this risk management strategy, however, is largely dependent on Management’s ability to predict the sensitivity of the MSRs and the loan production operations in various interest rate environments. The success of this strategy impacts the Company’s net income. This impact, which can be either positive or negative, can be material, particularly in the short-term.

The Company’s accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how the Company reports its financial condition and results of operations, and they may require Management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Page 63


Table of Contents

The Company’s accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. Management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and methods so that not only do they comply with generally accepted accounting principles but also that they reflect management’s judgment as to the most appropriate manner in which to record and report the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed herein and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The financial services industry is highly competitive.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that could become even more competitive as a result of economic, legislative, regulatory and technological changes. Competition for mortgage loans comes primarily from large commercial banks and savings institutions. Many of the Company’s competitors have fewer regulatory constraints, some have lower cost structures and others are less reliant on the secondary mortgage market for funding due to their greater portfolio lending capacity.

The Company faces competition in such areas as mortgage product offerings, rates and fees, and customer service, both at the retail and institutional level. In addition, technological advances and heightened e-commerce activities have increased consumers’ accessibility to products and services generally. This has intensified competition among banking as well as nonbanking companies in offering financial products and services, with or without the need for a physical presence.

Changes in the regulation of financial services companies could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company is heavily regulated by banking, mortgage lending and insurance laws at the federal, state and local levels, and proposals for further regulation of the financial services industry are continually being introduced. Congress and state legislatures, as well as federal and state regulatory agencies, review such laws, regulations and policies and periodically propose changes that could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could, for example, limit the types of financial services and products the Company offers or increase the Company’s cost to offer such services and products. It is possible that one or more legislative proposals may be adopted or regulatory changes may be implemented that would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company’s failure to comply with such laws or regulations, whether actual or alleged, could expose the Company to fines, penalties or potential litigation liabilities, including costs, expenses, settlements and judgments, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s earnings.

Other Factors

The above description of risk factors is not exhaustive. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:

    A general decline in U.S. housing prices or activity in the U.S. housing market,
 
    A loss of investment grade credit ratings, which may result in increased cost of debt or loss of access to corporate debt markets,
 
    A reduction in the availability of secondary markets for the Company’s mortgage loan products,
 
    A reduction in government support of homeownership,
 
    A change in the Company’s relationship with the housing-related government agencies and sponsored entities,
 
    Ineffectiveness of the Company’s hedging activities,
 
    The level of competition in each of the Company’s business segments, and
 
    The occurrence of natural disasters or other events or circumstances that could impact the level of claims in the Insurance segment.

Other risk factors are described elsewhere herein as well as in other reports and documents that the Company’s files with or furnishes to the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are also factors that may not be described in any such report or document that could cause results to differ from the Company’s expectations. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
