Loans Subject to Repurchase Right from Ginnie Mae
Forward loans are sold to Ginnie Mae in conjunction with the issuance of mortgage backed securities. The Company, as the issuer of the mortgage backed securities, has the unilateral 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. Once the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, it has effectively regained control over the loan and recognizes these rights to the loan on its consolidated balance sheets and establishes a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of the Company’s intention to repurchase the loan.

Derivative Financial Instruments
See Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further details on derivative financial instruments.

Trade Receivables and Accrued Revenues
Trade receivables and accrued revenues are primarily comprised of trade receivables and service fees earned but not received based upon the terms of the Company’s servicing and subservicing agreements. As described in Note 1, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, certain trade receivables and accrued revenues included in other assets are within the scope of ASU 2016-13, requiring an assessment of CECL losses. Upon applying ASU 2016-13, the Company reduced its other assets allowances by $2 as of January 1, 2020. The CECL reserve as of March 31, 2020 was $6.

The credit-risk characteristics of trade receivables included in other assets and within the scope of ASU 2016-13 do not change with time as they are primarily short-term in nature. However, the Company does monitor the financial status of customers to determine if any specific loss considerations are required.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In 2019, the Company recorded goodwill and intangible assets of $40 and $13, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of Pacific Union. See further discussion in Note 2, Acquisitions. The Company recorded a $4 impairment of technology intangible assets within Corporate/Other segment during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in connection with an ancillary business. The impairment charges were included in the general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no impairment expense for intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Right-of-Use Assets
See Note 7, Leases, for further details on right-of-use assets.

Other

REO, net includes $12 and $11 of REO-related receivables with government insurance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, limiting loss exposure to the Company.
