Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company maintains a strategy of originating and purchasing residential mortgage loan products primarily for the purpose of selling to GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market on a servicing-retained basis. The Company focuses on assisting customers currently in the Company’s servicing portfolio with refinancing of loans or new home purchases. Generally, all newly originated mortgage loans held for sale are securitized and transferred to GSEs or delivered to third-party purchasers shortly after origination on a servicing-retained basis.

From time to time, the Company exercises its right to repurchase individual delinquent loans in Ginnie Mae securitization pools to minimize interest spread losses, to re-pool into new Ginnie Mae securitizations or to otherwise sell to third-party investors. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased $67 of delinquent Ginnie Mae loans and securitized or sold to third-party investors $39 of previously repurchased loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Predecessor repurchased $68 of delinquent Ginnie Mae loans and securitized or sold to third-party investors $88 of previously repurchased loans.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, $43 and $39 of the repurchased loans have re-performed and were held in accrual status, respectively, and remaining balances continue to be held under a nonaccrual status.

The total UPB of mortgage loans held for sale for which the Company has begun formal foreclosure proceedings was $20 and $33 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received proceeds of $6,194 and $5,709, respectively, on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, resulting in gains of $106 and $60, respectively.

The Company has the right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. The majority of Ginnie Mae repurchased loans are repurchased solely with the intent to re-pool into new Ginnie Mae securitizations upon re-performance of the loan or to otherwise sell to third-party investors. Therefore, these loans are classified as held for sale. The amounts repurchased out of Ginnie Mae pools, as presented above, are primarily in connection with loan modifications and loan resolution activity as part of the Company’s contractual obligations as the servicer of the loans.
