The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PFSI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company also consolidates certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as described below.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company entered into securitization transactions in which VIEs issue variable funding notes (“VFNs”) to PLS and term debt backed by beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). PLS finances the VFNs by selling them under agreements to repurchase. The Company acts as guarantor of the VFNs and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder of the VFNs and guarantor of the VFNs and term debt, it holds the variable interest in the VIEs. Therefore, PFSI consolidates the VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value and the financing of VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and the term debt is included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The financing is detailed in Note 15 – Short-Term Debt and Note 16 – Long Term Debt.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, the Company has identified tenant security deposits relating to rental properties owned by PMT and managed by the Company as restricted cash. Tenant security deposits are included in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine their fair values. These levels are:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

Short-Term Investment

Short-term investment, which represents an investment in an account with a depository institution, is carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in current period income. The Company classifies its short-term investment as a “Level 1” fair value asset.

Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company invests in Agency principal-only stripped mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) for the purpose of economically hedging the fair value of its MSRs. The Company’s investments in MBS are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Changes in fair value arising from accrual of unearned discount are recognized using the interest method and are included in Interest income. Changes in fair value arising from other factors are included in Net loan servicing fees – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results. Purchases and sales of MBS are recorded as of the trade date. The Company categorizes principal-only stripped MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company has elected to account for loans held for sale at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period income, to more timely reflect the Company’s performance. All changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value. The Company classifies most of the loans held for sale as “Level 2” fair value assets. Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale may not be saleable into active markets due to the loans’ lack of active markets with observable inputs. Such loans are classified as “Level 3” fair value assets.

Sale Recognition

The Company recognizes transfers of loans as sales when it surrenders control over the loans. Control over transferred loans is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the loans have been isolated from the Company, (ii) the transferee has the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred loans, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred loans through either (a) an agreement that entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific loans.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on loans held for sale at fair value is recognized over the life of the loans using their contractual interest rates. Income recognition is suspended and the interest receivable is reversed against Interest income when a loan becomes 90 days delinquent. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments that are created as a result of certain of its operations. The Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.

Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations are interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale at a specified interest rate.

PFSI engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of the Company’s assets. The Company is exposed to price risk relative to:

Loans held for sale and IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time a commitment to fund a loan is made to a borrower or to purchase a loan from PMT or a non-affiliated entity, to the time either the prospective transaction is cancelled or the loan is sold. During this period, the Company is exposed to losses if market interest rates increase, because the fair value of the purchase commitment or prospective loan decreases.

MSRs. MSRs are generally subject to reduction in fair value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected life of the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing the MSRs’ fair values. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect earnings primarily through recognition of the changes in fair value.

To manage the fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and MSRs.

The Company manages the risk created by IRLCs by entering into forward sale agreements to sell the expected mortgage loans or MBS and by the purchase and sale of options on MBS. Such agreements are also accounted for as derivative financial instruments. These and other interest-rate derivatives are also used to manage the fair value risk created by changes in prepayment speeds on certain of the MSRs the Company holds.

The Company classifies its IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments that are actively traded on an exchange are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

The Company does not designate its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting. Therefore, the Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments as free-standing derivatives. All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in the fair values being reported in current period income.

Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments hedging IRLCs, loans held for sale at fair value and MSRs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value or in Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Cash flows from derivative financial instruments hedging IRLCs and loans acquired for sale are included in Cash flows from operating activities in Sale and repayment of loans acquired for sale at fair value to nonaffiliates and cash flows from derivative financial instruments hedging MSRs is included in Cash flows from investing activities.

When the Company has multiple derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty subject to a master netting arrangement, it offsets the amounts recorded as assets and liabilities and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral it has deposited with the counterparty or the obligation to return cash collateral it has collected from the counterparty arising from that master netting arrangement. Such offset amounts are presented as either a net asset or liability by counterparty on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Servicing Advances

Servicing advances represent contractually required protective advances the Company makes on behalf of the loans’ beneficial interest holders. Servicing advances may include advances of scheduled principal and interest amounts due to the beneficial interest holders on delinquent loans, property taxes, insurance premiums and out-of-pocket collection amounts (e.g., preservation and restoration of mortgaged property or real estate acquired in the settlement of loans (“REO”), legal fees, and appraisals) made to protect beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans. Servicing advances are made in compliance with the respective servicing agreements and Agency loan servicing guides.

The Company does not expect to incur credit losses on servicing advances as such amounts are generally recoverable from the Agencies. Certain of the Company’s loan servicing agreements and Agency loan servicing guides limit the amounts that the beneficial interest holders or loan insurers or guarantors will reimburse the Company, and beneficial interest holders or guarantors may dispute the level of certain charges incurred in the collection process.

The Company is contractually responsible for making the payments required to protect its beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans and may, therefore, be required to incur amounts in excess of insurer or guarantor reimbursement limits. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance on the servicing advances for these amounts in excess of amounts that are expected to ultimately be recovered from the loans’ insurers, guarantors or beneficial interest holders.

The servicing advance valuation allowance is estimated based on relevant qualitative and quantitative information about past events, including historical collection and loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectable amounts. The provision for losses on servicing advances is included in Servicing expense in the consolidated statements of income. Servicing advances are written off when they are deemed unrecoverable.

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) arise from contractual agreements between the Company and investors (or their agents) in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Under these contracts, the Company performs loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest; holding custodial (impounded) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; administering loss mitigation activities, including modification and forbearance programs; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.

The Company is contractually entitled to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and the Company is generally entitled to retain the placement fees earned on impounded funds and funds held pending remittance related to its collection of mortgagor payments. The Company also generally has the right to solicit the mortgagors for other products and services as well as for new mortgages for those considering refinancing their existing loan or purchasing a new home.

The Company recognizes MSRs and MSLs initially at fair value, either as proceeds from or liabilities incurred in sales of mortgage loans where the Company assumes the obligation to service the mortgage loan in the sale transaction, or from the purchase of MSRs or receipt of cash for acceptance of MSLs.

The fair value of MSRs and MSLs is derived from the net positive or negative, respectively, cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. For loans subject to MSR and MSL contracts, the Company receives a servicing fee, based on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the mortgage loans subject to the servicing contracts. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors.

The fair value of MSRs and MSLs is difficult to determine because MSRs and MSLs are not actively traded in observable stand-alone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of MSRs and MSLs and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect the Company’s income. Therefore, the Company classifies its MSRs and MSLs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities.

Changes in fair value of MSLs and MSRs are recognized in current period income in Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. If the arrangement is determined to be a lease, the Company recognizes both an operating lease right-of-use asset in Other assets and a corresponding operating lease liability in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in its consolidated balance sheet, except for leases with initial terms less than or equal to 12 months. Lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in Occupancy and equipment in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s lease agreements include both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which are generally included in the lease and are accounted for together with the lease as a single lease component. As such, lease payments represent payments on both lease and non-lease components. At lease commencement, lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made before lease commencement and for any lease incentives.

Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment and Building Improvements

Furniture, fixtures, equipment and building improvements are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, which range from five to seven years for furniture and equipment and the lesser of the asset’s estimated useful life or the remaining lease term for fixtures and building improvements.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes certain consulting, payroll, and payroll-related costs related to the development of computer software for internal use. Once development is complete and the software is placed in service, the Company amortizes the capitalized costs over three to seven years using the straight-line method.

The Company periodically assesses capitalized software for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the Company identifies an indicator of impairment, it assesses recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and is measured as the excess of carrying value over fair value.

Investment in PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust at Fair Value

Common shares of beneficial interest in PMT are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Fair value for purposes of the Company’s holdings in PMT is based on the published closing price of the shares as of period end. The Company classifies its investment in common shares of PMT as a “Level 1” fair value asset.

Loans Eligible for Repurchase

The terms of the Ginnie Mae MBS program allow, but do not require, the Company to repurchase a loan when it is at least three months delinquent. As a result of this right, the Company recognizes the loans in Loans eligible for repurchase at their unpaid principal balances and records a corresponding liability in Liability for loans eligible for repurchase on its consolidated balance sheets.

Borrowings

The carrying values of borrowings are based on the accrued cost of the agreements. The costs of creating the facilities underlying the agreements (debt issuance costs) are included in the carrying value of the agreements and are charged to Interest expense over the terms of the respective borrowing facilities:

Debt issuance costs relating to revolving facilities, such as repurchase agreement and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale facilities are amortized on the straight line basis over the term of the facility; and

Debt issuance cost relating to non-revolving debts, such as the Company’s Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are amortized over the contractual term of the non-revolving debt using the interest method.

Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties

The Company’s agreements with the Agencies and other investors include representations and warranties related to the loans the Company sells to the Agencies and other investors. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency and other investor origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it may have to correspondent loan sellers that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to PMT and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent loan seller, through PMT.

As a result of providing representations and warranties to investors and insurers, the Company records a provision for losses on representations and warranties at fair value upon sale of loans. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates, the estimated severity of loss in the event of default and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the recorded liability. The level of the liability for representations and warranties is reviewed and approved by the Company’s management credit committee. Both the initial recognition of, and adjustments to the level of, the liability for representations and warranties are recorded in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value.

The level of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor repurchase demand or insurer claim denial strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, the Company believes that the current unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans sold to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent compensation to the Company for the origination or purchase of loans. Loan origination fees are earned and recognized upon funding or purchase of the loan by the Company and are collected either at purchase from the correspondent seller, at funding when paid by the borrower or upon sale of the loan when the origination fees are financed by the borrower.

Loan Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees are received by the Company for servicing loans. Loan servicing activities are described in Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities above. Loan servicing fee amounts relating to MSRs and MSLs are based upon fee rates established at the time a loan sale or securitization agreement is entered into. Loan servicing fee amounts relating to loans subserviced for PMT are detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties.

The Company’s obligations under its loan servicing agreements are fulfilled as the Company services the loans. Fees are collected when the loan payments are received from the borrowers in the case of MSRs and MSLs held by the Company or within 30 days of the applicable month-end for subserviced loans.

Loan servicing fees relating to owned MSRs are recognized when earned. Loan servicing fees relating to loans subserviced for PMT are recognized in the month in which the loans are serviced.

Fulfillment Fees

Fulfillment fees represent fees the Company collects for services it performs on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. Fulfillment fee amounts are based upon a negotiated fee schedule as detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties. The Company’s obligation under the agreement is fulfilled when PMT issues a loan commitment, when it purchases a loan and when it completes the sale or securitization of a loan it purchases to investors other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Fulfillment fee revenue is recognized in the month an interest rate lock commitment is issued, or the loan is purchased or sold by PMT. Fulfillment fees are not collected for any loans sold from PMT to the Company. Fulfillment fees are generally collected from PMT within 30 days of the applicable activity.

Management Fees

Management fees represent compensation to the Company for management services it provides to PMT. Management fees are based on PMT’s shareholders’ equity amounts and profitability in excess of specified thresholds as detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties. Management fees are recognized as services are provided and are paid to the Company on a quarterly basis within 30 days of the end of the quarter.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company establishes the cost of its share-based awards at the awards’ fair values at the grant date of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units awarded with reference to the fair value of its underlying common stock and expected forfeiture rates on the date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of its stock option awards with reference to the expected price volatility of its shares of common stock, expected dividend yield, expected forfeiture rates, and risk-free interest rate for the period that exercisable stock options are expected to be outstanding.

Compensation costs are fixed, except for performance-based restricted stock units, as of the award date. The cost of performance-based restricted stock units is adjusted in each reporting period after the grant for changes in expected performance attainment until the performance share units vest. The Company amortizes the cost of stock based compensation awards to Compensation expense over the vesting period using the graded vesting method.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising (selling) expense represent expenditures for advertising, direct and digital mail solicitation and promotional activities. Marketing and advertising expense is recognized as incurred. Sponsorship agreements are amortized over the period covered by the sponsorship agreements on the straight-line basis.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company recognizes the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period in which the change occurs. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, in management’s judgment, it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized.

The Company recognizes tax benefits relating to its tax positions only if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this standard is recognized as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the appropriate taxing authority. The Company will classify any penalties and interest as a component of provision for income taxes.

As a result of a recapitalization and reorganization of PNMAC in 2013, the Company expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions resulting from increases in the tax basis of PNMAC’s assets from the exchange of PennyMac Class A units to the shares of the Company’s common stock. Those deductions will be allocated to the Company and will be taken into account in reporting the Company’s taxable income.

The Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of the former unitholders of PNMAC that provides for the additional payment by the Company to exchanging unitholders of PNMAC equal to 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that PFSI realizes due to (i) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of the then existing unitholders and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to PFSI entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Although a reorganization of the Company in 2018 eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and provide payment when applicable for units exchanged before the reorganization.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Tax Disclosures

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), that is intended to enhance the level of detail and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosures of:

Reconciliation of the expected tax at the applicable statutory federal income tax rate to the reported tax in a tabular format, using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items of five percent or greater of the expected tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction; and

Disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, broken out between federal and state and local income taxes. Payments to individual jurisdictions representing five percent or more of the total income tax payments must also be separately disclosed.

The disclosures specified by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect on its disclosures.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024

Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), that is intended to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The key amendments require that the Company supplement its existing disclosures to include disclosure of:

significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; and

an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-07, using the retrospective method, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Detailed disclosures are included in Note 27‒Segments.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

The FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) —Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), to improve the disclosures of expenses by requiring public business entities to provide further disaggregation of relevant expense captions; employee compensation, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets in a separate note to the financial statements. A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses and, in an annual reporting period, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.

The Company adopted ASU 2024-03 effective December 31, 2024. The disclosure specified by ASU 2024-03 is included in Note 24‒Disaggregation of Certain Expense Captions.

Operating Activities

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and Mortgage Servicing Rights Recapture

Loan Sales

The Company may sell newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. The Company has typically utilized the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans, as well as prime jumbo residential mortgage loans.

MSR Recapture Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement, when the Company refinances mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to:

40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 15% of the “recapture rate”;
35% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 15% and up to 30%; and
30% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 30%.

The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate UPB of all recaptured loans, to (ii) the aggregate UPB of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month. The Company has further agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of 15%.

In December 2024, the MSR recapture agreement was renewed and amended, effective January 1, 2025, to adjust the recapture fee to require the Company to transfer cash to PMT in an amount equal to:

70% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 30% of the “recapture rate”;
50% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 30% and up to 50%;
40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 50%; and
a recapture fee of $900 per loan if PLS originates a mortgage loan for the purpose of purchasing a property where the customer has or had a mortgage loan for which PMT holds or held the MSR.

For the purpose of the December 2024 renewal and amendment of the MSR recapture agreement, the “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all refinance mortgage loans originated in such month, plus the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all “preserved mortgage loans” relating to closed end second lien loans originated in such month, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans from the portfolio that PLS has determined in good faith were refinanced in such month, plus the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all “preserved mortgage loans” relating to closed end second loans originated in such month. For purposes of such calculation, “preserved mortgage loan” means a mortgage loan in PMT’s portfolio as to which PLS or its affiliates originated a new closed end second lien loan in a subordinate position to such mortgage loan.

The MSR recapture agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Mortgage Banking Services Agreement

Fulfillment Services

The Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage banking services agreement, the fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:

the number of loan commitments multiplied by a pull-through factor of either .99 or .80 depending on whether the loan commitments are subject to a “mandatory trade confirmation” or a “best efforts lock confirmation”, respectively, and then multiplied by $585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus
$315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 multiplied by the number of purchased loans in excess of 16,500 per quarter, plus
$750 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are sold or securitized to parties other than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; provided however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to PLS with respect to any Ginnie Mae loans, and as of October 1, 2022, certain Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans acquired by PLS.

In December 2024, the mortgage banking services agreement was renewed and amended, effective January 1, 2025, to provide for a quarterly fulfillment fee not to exceed the following:

the number of non-Ginnie Mae loan commitments issued during the quarter multiplied by a pull-through factor of either .99 or .80 depending on whether the loan commitments are subject to a “mandatory trade confirmation” or a “best efforts lock confirmation”, respectively, and then multiplied by $585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, and then multiplied by a ratio of the number of loan commitments issued to PMT during the quarter to the total number of non-Ginnie Mae loan commitments issued during the quarter, plus
$315 multiplied by the number of purchased loans up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 multiplied by the number of purchased loans in excess of 16,500 per quarter, multiplied by a ratio of the number of loans purchased by PMT during the quarter to the total number of non-Ginnie Mae loans purchased during the quarter, plus
$500 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are securitized or sold to parties other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; provided however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to the Company with respect to any Ginnie Mae mortgage loans, any Fannie Mae mortgage loan or Freddie Mac mortgage loan acquired from PMT by the Company on a discretionary basis, or any mortgage loan acquired by PMT from the Company on or before June 30, 2025, provided that supplemental fees may still be charged in connection with the securitization or sale of any such mortgage loans.

Sourcing Fees

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the agreement, the Company purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and sourcing fee ranging from one to two basis points of the UPB of the loan, generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans are held by PMT before purchase by the Company. The Company may also acquire conventional loans from PMT on the same terms upon mutual agreement between PMT and the Company.

While the Company purchases these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT, where the Company has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of PMT.

In December 2024, the mortgage banking services agreement was renewed and amended to provide for the Company to assume the role of initial correspondent loan purchaser in place of PMT effective July 1, 2025. Under this agreement, PMT retains the right to purchase up to 100% of the non-government insured or guaranteed loans purchased by the Company through its correspondent operations at the Company’s cost plus accrued interest, less any loan administrative fees paid to the Company by the correspondent sellers and subject to quarterly fulfillment fee charges as previously described. The Company may hold or otherwise sell correspondent lending loans to other investors if PMT chooses not to purchase such loans. Accordingly, the sourcing fee arrangement will no longer have any effect beginning July 1, 2025.

The mortgage banking services agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Following is a summary of loan production activities, including MSR recapture, between the Company and PMT:

Servicing Agreement

The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company provides subservicing for PMT’s portfolio of MSRs, loans at fair value other than loans purchased with credit deterioration and loans held for sale (prime servicing) and its portfolio of residential mortgage loans purchased with credit deterioration (special servicing). The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per-loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or REO. The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT.

Prime Servicing

The base servicing fees for prime servicing loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

To the extent that prime loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $10 to $55 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO. The Company is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and a percentage of late charges.

The Company receives certain fees for COVID-19 pandemic-related forbearance and modification activities provided for under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

Special Servicing

The base servicing fee rates for special servicing loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $95 per month for loans in foreclosure proceedings. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month. The Company also receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each special servicing loan.

The Company receives activity-based fees for modifications, foreclosures and liquidations that it facilitates with respect to special servicing loans, as well as other market-based refinancing and loan disposition fees.

In December 2024, the Servicing Agreement was modified and extended, effective January 1, 2025. Changes to the Servicing Agreement include applying the servicing fee rates under the prime servicing fee schedule to special servicing loans, passing through Agency incentive fees to the Company for loss mitigation activities, adding a fee for processing insurance and guarantee claims on defaulted loans and increasing servicing fee rates for delinquent loans to a range of $18 to $80 per month based on the loans’ delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status.

The Servicing Agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Management Agreement

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs and for which PFSI collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:

The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” on a rolling four-quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of:

10% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus

15% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on PMT’s “equity” plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s “equity”; plus

20% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on “equity” plus the “high watermark.”

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four-quarter period.

The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is less than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is more than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both receivable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at PMT’s option.

In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

In December 2024, the Management Agreement was renewed and amended effective January 1, 2025, to change the incentive fee from a quarterly fee to an annual fee and limit the calculation of the high watermark to the two-year period preceding the fiscal year for which the incentive fee is calculated. In addition, the highwater mark shall never be less than zero after including all high watermark increases and high watermark decreases over any such rolling two fiscal year period.

The Management Agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Expense Reimbursement

Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. With respect to the allocation of the Company’s and its affiliates’ personnel compensation, the Company is reimbursed $165,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by the Company or its affiliates.

PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses are allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets managed or owned by the Company and/or its affiliates as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.

Under the amended Management Agreement discussed above, effective January 1, 2025, the Company will be reimbursed based on the resources it dedicates to investment management for PMT and will also be reimbursed for its accounting, legal, financial reporting, Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 compliance and internal audit services. Such allocations will be reviewed annually.

The Company received reimbursements from PMT for expenses as follows:

Exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC Unitholders

The Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain former owners of PNMAC that provides for the payment from time to time by the Company to PNMAC’s exchanged unitholders of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the net tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis of PNMAC’s assets resulting from exchanges of ownership interests in PNMAC and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

Although a reorganization in November 2018 eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and will be required to make payments, to the extent any of the tax benefits specified above are deemed to be realized, under the tax receivable agreement to those certain prior owners of PNMAC who effected exchanges of ownership interests in PNMAC for the Company’s common stock before the closing of the reorganization.

Fair Value

Note 6—Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The application of fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Company has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

The Company identified its MSRs, its MSLs and all of its non-cash financial assets, to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are carried at amortized cost.

These liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these liabilities other than the Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.

The Company estimates the fair value of the term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes using indications of fair value provided by non-affiliate brokers, pricing services and internal estimates of fair value. The fair value and carrying value of these liabilities are summarized below:

Valuation Governance

Most of the Company’s financial assets, and all of its derivatives, MSRs, and MSLs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and derivatives and all of its MSRs and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair values of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff within its capital markets group and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight.

With respect to “Level 3” valuations other than IRLCs, the capital markets valuation staff reports to the Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee, which oversees the valuations. The capital markets valuation staff monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results as well as changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuations and any changes in model methods and inputs, to the Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee. The Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee includes the Company’s chief financial, credit, and capital markets officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, risk management and capital markets staffs.

To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the capital markets valuation staff presents an analysis of the effect on the valuations of changes to the significant inputs to the models and, for MSRs, comparisons of its estimates of fair value to those procured from non-affiliate brokers and published surveys.

The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by its capital markets risk management staff and is reviewed by its capital markets operations staff.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:

Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company categorizes principal-only stripped MBS as “Level 2” fair value financial instruments. Fair values of these securities are established based on quoted market prices for these or similar securities.

Loans Held for Sale

Most of the Company’s loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets with observable significant inputs to the estimation of fair value and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of “Level 2” fair value loans are determined using their contracted selling price or quoted market price or market price equivalent.

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets with observable significant inputs to the estimation of fair value and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

Closed-end second lien mortgage loans. At present, there is no active market with significant observable inputs to the estimation of fair value of the closed-end second lien mortgage loans the Company produces.

Early buy out (“EBO”) loans. EBO loans are government guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase a government guaranteed or insured loan from a Ginnie Mae security arises as the result of the loan being at least three months delinquent on the date of purchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such a loan may be resold to an investor and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent it becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security.

A loan becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae security when the loan becomes current either through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms or after three months of timely payments following either the completion of certain types of payment deferral programs or borrower reperformance and when the issuance date of the new security is at least 120 days after the date the loan was last delinquent.

Loans with identified defects. Loans that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect.

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale are discount rates, home price projections and voluntary and total prepayment/resale speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key “Level 3” fair value inputs used in the valuation of loans held for sale at fair value:

(2)Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using life voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

(3)Total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayment/resale rates.

Changes in fair value relating to loans held for sale as the result of changes in the loan’s instrument specific credit risk are indicated by successful modifications of the loan’s terms or changes in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at year end from the later of the beginning of the year or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the loans will fund or be purchased (the “pull-through rate”).

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which has decreased in fair value. Initial recognition and changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans acquired for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

Hedging Derivatives

Hedging derivatives that are actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Hedging derivatives whose fair values are based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans acquired for sale at fair value, or Net loan servicing fees – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), pricing spread (a component of discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs received by the Company when it retains the obligation to service the mortgage loans it sells:

(3)Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies a pricing spread to a derived United States Treasury Securities (“Treasury”) yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.

(1)Weighted average inputs are based on UPB of the underlying loans.

(2)Annual total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayments. Equivalent average life is provided as supplementary information.
(3)These analyses hold constant all of the inputs other than the input that is being changed in order to show an estimate of the effect on fair value of a change in a specific input. The Company expects that in a market shock event, multiple inputs would be affected and the effects of these changes may compound or counteract each other. Therefore, these analyses are not projections of the effects of a shock event or a change in the estimate of an input and should not be relied upon as earnings projections.
(4)The Company applies a pricing spread to a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the annual total prepayment speed, applicable pricing spread, and the per-loan annual cost of servicing the underlying loans. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 15—Short-Term Debt

The borrowing facilities described throughout these Notes 15 and 16 contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2024.

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company has multiple secured borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by MBS, loans held for sale at fair value or participation certificates backed by mortgage servicing assets. Eligible assets are sold at advance rates based on their fair values (as determined by the lender). Interest is charged at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Principal-only stripped MBS, loans and participation certificates financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

Assets sold under agreements to repurchase are summarized below:

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

Certain of the borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled into Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae securities, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities which generally occurs within 30 days. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback amount is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements are summarized below:

Notes Payable Secured by Mortgage Servicing Assets

Term Notes and Term Loans

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries PNMAC, PLS and the PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (“Issuer Trust”), has entered into a structured finance transaction, in which PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing assets pursuant to a repurchase agreement. The Issuer Trust has issued VFNs to PLS, has issued secured term notes (the “Term Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and has entered into a series of syndicated term loans with various lenders (the “Term Loans”). The Term Notes and Term Loans are secured by the participation certificates relating to Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing assets financed pursuant to the servicing asset repurchase facilities, and rank pari passu with the mortgage servicing asset VFNs which are sold by PLS under agreements to repurchase as shown in Note 15Short-Term Debt.

Unsecured Senior Notes

The Company issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the Company, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness.

The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by PFSI’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indenture under which the Unsecured Notes were issued). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the guarantors and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the guarantors, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness. The Unsecured Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinate to the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes.

Of the remaining $99.2 million in deferred tax assets, relating to state net operating losses, $12.3 million expires between 2032 and 2037, $68.9 million expires in 2042 and $18.0 million has no expiration date. The Company expects to fully utilize these net operating losses before their expiration dates.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any unrecognized tax benefits. Should the recognition of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is the Company’s policy to record such expenses in the Company’s income tax accounts. No such accruals existed at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company made dividend payments of $52.2 million to holders of common stock in 2024. For tax purposes, the entire distribution is a return of capital to the stockholders.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims, investigations, lawsuits and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, income, or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

On November 5, 2019, Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC (“Black Knight”), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Duval County, Florida (the “Florida State Court”), captioned Black Knight Servicing Technologies, LLC v. PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), Case No. 2019-CA-007908, alleging breach of contract and misappropriation of MSP® System trade secrets. On November 6, 2019, PLS filed unlawful monopolization claims against Black Knight pursuant to the Sherman Act and Clayton Act seeking injunctive relief. On March 30, 2020, the Florida State Court granted a motion to compel arbitration filed by the Company, after which all claims of the Company and Black Knight were consolidated into a binding arbitration.

On November 28, 2023, the arbitrator issued an interim award (the “Interim Award”) granting in part and denying in part Black Knight’s breach of contract claim. The arbitrator’s Interim Award also denied in full Black Knight’s claim of trade secrets misappropriation. The Interim Award granted Black Knight monetary damages in the amount of $155.2 million, plus prejudgment interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and it denied in full all of Black Knight’s claims for injunctive and declaratory relief.

The Interim Award also granted PLS’ claim that Black Knight violated federal antitrust laws, specifically unlawful monopolization in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, and granted PLS’ claim for injunctive relief under the Sherman Act and Clayton Act, as well as its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The parties subsequently agreed not to seek attorneys’ fees or costs on any claims.

As a result of the Interim Award, PLS’ loan servicing technology, known as Servicing Systems Environment, or SSE, and all related intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of PLS, remain the proprietary technology of PLS, free and clear of any restrictions on use. To this end, the arbitrator expressly enjoined Black Knight from claiming ownership to any portion of SSE or preventing the Company from commercializing SSE. Black Knight is also enjoined from enforcing any of its contract clauses requiring that its clients process their loans exclusively on the MSP platform.

On January 12, 2024, the arbitrator issued the final award (the “Final Award”), reducing Black Knight’s monetary damages to $150.2 million, plus interest. As a result of the Final Award, the Company reported a pretax expense accrual of $158.4 million in its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. On February 14, 2024, the Company paid in full and Black Knight accepted payment of all damages and accrued interest due under the Final Award. On March 15, 2024, the Florida State Court confirmed the Final Award, giving the rulings and remedies therein preclusive effect. The Final Award was entered as a judgment in the Florida State Court on August 10, 2024.

Performance-Based RSUs

The performance based RSUs provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the achievement of performance goals and job performance ratings. No shares under the grants with performance periods ending December 31, 2024 are expected to vest as the performance goals were not achieved.

The fair value of the performance-based RSUs is measured based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, taking into consideration the expected outcome of the performance goal, and the number of shares to be forfeited during the vesting period. The Company applies forfeiture rates of 0 – 20.3% per year based on the grantees’ employee classification. The actual number of shares that vest could vary from zero, if the performance goals are not met, to as much as 300% of the units granted, if the performance goals are meaningfully exceeded.

Time-Based RSUs

The RSU grant agreements provide for the award of time-based RSUs, entitling the award recipient to one share of the Company’s common stock for each RSU. In general, and except as otherwise provided by the agreement, one-third of the time-based RSUs vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued service through each anniversary.

Compensation cost relating to time-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock and the number of shares expected to vest. For purposes of estimating the cost of the time-based RSUs granted, the Company applies forfeiture rates of 0% – 20.3% per year based on the grantees’ employee classification.

Stock Options

The stock option award agreements provide for the award of options to purchase common stock. In general, and except as otherwise provided by the agreement, one-third of the stock option awards vests on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued service through each anniversary.

Each stock option has a term of ten years from the date of grant but expires (1) immediately upon termination of the holder’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, (2) one year after the holder’s employment or other association is terminated due to death or disability and (3) three months after the holder’s employment or other association is terminated for any other reason.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using a variant of the Black Scholes model based on the following inputs:

(1)Based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.

The Company uses its historical employee departure behavior to estimate the grantee forfeiture rates used in its option-pricing model. The expected term of common stock options granted is derived from the Company’s option pricing model and represents the period that common stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the common stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Note 25—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the year.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are stock-based compensation awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards.

Segments

Note 27—Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on their unique business activities. The following disclosures about the Company’s business segments are presented consistent with the way the Company’s chief operating decision maker organizes and evaluates financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The reportable segments are evaluated based on income or loss before provisions for (benefit from) income taxes. The chief operating decision maker uses pre-tax segment results to assess segment performance and allocate operating and capital resources among the two reportable segments. The segments are separately evaluated because they represent different products and services. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07. Concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2023-07 management reassessed its segment definitions to those shown below. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform those years’ presentation to current year presentation.

The Company conducts its business in two operating and reportable segments, production and servicing:

The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities, including the fulfillment of correspondent production activities for PMT.
The servicing segment performs servicing of loans on behalf of PMT and non-affiliate investors, execution and management of early buyout transactions and servicing of loans sourced and managed for PMT.
Non-segment activities are included under the heading “Corporate and other” and include amounts attributable to corporate activities that are not directly attributable to the production and servicing segments as well as investment management fees earned from PMT.

Enterprise Risk Management Framework and Governance

The Cybersecurity Program is integrated with our enterprise risk management framework and is primarily managed by the CIO, the CISO, and other information security personnel and consultants, and is overseen by risk management, internal audit, senior management and the board of directors to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and the availability of the Company’s enterprise information systems, data and business operations. The Cybersecurity Program utilizes specialized third-party cybersecurity service providers to periodically perform penetration testing across certain internet-facing and business critical applications as well as external and internal network penetration tests.

Our Enterprise Risk Management unit separately provides independent oversight and monitoring of the

Cybersecurity Program through periodic quality control testing and regulatory compliance verification of the Cybersecurity Program’s controls. Our Internal Audit unit is an independent corporate function reporting to the board of directors’ Audit Committee that also reviews the effectiveness of the Cybersecurity Program and whether it is effectively integrated into our overall enterprise risk management framework. Additionally, our Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Audit units may from time to time separately engage consulting services to perform independent cybersecurity controls audits and provide expert guidance. 

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes Integrated [Flag] true
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes Integrated [Text Block]

The Cybersecurity Program, which is integrated into our enterprise risk management framework, assesses, identifies and protects our enterprise information systems, data and business operations from various security threats and contains the following elements:

Information Security Risk Assessment - Conducting internal and external risk and control assessment, quality control and assurance testing.

Identity and Access Management - Managing enterprise identity and access control systems.

Security Architecture - Managing security architecture, including secure code deployment standards, architecture security reviews, and cybersecurity advisory support.

Security Engineering - Designing, implementing and operating security technologies, including but not limited to malware protections, security event and incident management, data loss prevention, and phishing defenses.

Security Operations - Ensuring continuous operational coverage of security events and alerts, maintaining and executing processes for triage, containment, investigation and escalation/communication and threat intelligence.

Attack Surface Management - Managing vulnerability and patch management, network penetration testing, application security testing and exercises, including cybersecurity training, cyber-attack simulations and tabletop exercises with senior management to detect control gaps.

Third-Party Assessments - Coordinating, reviewing and analyzing third-party providers’ assessments of the Cybersecurity Program. Internal Audit may also perform a periodic cybersecurity program audit that may be supported by external consulting firms.

Third-Party Service Provider Reviews – Identifying and reviewing material risks from cybersecurity threats associated with certain third-party service providers.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PFSI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company also consolidates certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as described below.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company entered into securitization transactions in which VIEs issue variable funding notes (“VFNs”) to PLS and term debt backed by beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). PLS finances the VFNs by selling them under agreements to repurchase. The Company acts as guarantor of the VFNs and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder of the VFNs and guarantor of the VFNs and term debt, it holds the variable interest in the VIEs. Therefore, PFSI consolidates the VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value and the financing of VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and the term debt is included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The financing is detailed in Note 15 – Short-Term Debt and Note 16 – Long Term Debt.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, the Company has identified tenant security deposits relating to rental properties owned by PMT and managed by the Company as restricted cash. Tenant security deposits are included in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value

Fair Value

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine their fair values. These levels are:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

Short-Term Investment

Short-Term Investment

Short-term investment, which represents an investment in an account with a depository institution, is carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in current period income. The Company classifies its short-term investment as a “Level 1” fair value asset.

Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities

Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company invests in Agency principal-only stripped mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) for the purpose of economically hedging the fair value of its MSRs. The Company’s investments in MBS are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Changes in fair value arising from accrual of unearned discount are recognized using the interest method and are included in Interest income. Changes in fair value arising from other factors are included in Net loan servicing fees – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results. Purchases and sales of MBS are recorded as of the trade date. The Company categorizes principal-only stripped MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale

The Company has elected to account for loans held for sale at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period income, to more timely reflect the Company’s performance. All changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value. The Company classifies most of the loans held for sale as “Level 2” fair value assets. Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale may not be saleable into active markets due to the loans’ lack of active markets with observable inputs. Such loans are classified as “Level 3” fair value assets.

Sale Recognition

The Company recognizes transfers of loans as sales when it surrenders control over the loans. Control over transferred loans is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the loans have been isolated from the Company, (ii) the transferee has the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred loans, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred loans through either (a) an agreement that entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific loans.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on loans held for sale at fair value is recognized over the life of the loans using their contractual interest rates. Income recognition is suspended and the interest receivable is reversed against Interest income when a loan becomes 90 days delinquent. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments that are created as a result of certain of its operations. The Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.

Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations are interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale at a specified interest rate.

PFSI engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of the Company’s assets. The Company is exposed to price risk relative to:

Loans held for sale and IRLCs. The Company bears price risk from the time a commitment to fund a loan is made to a borrower or to purchase a loan from PMT or a non-affiliated entity, to the time either the prospective transaction is cancelled or the loan is sold. During this period, the Company is exposed to losses if market interest rates increase, because the fair value of the purchase commitment or prospective loan decreases.

MSRs. MSRs are generally subject to reduction in fair value when mortgage interest rates decrease. Decreasing mortgage interest rates normally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity. Increased refinancing activity reduces the expected life of the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing the MSRs’ fair values. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect earnings primarily through recognition of the changes in fair value.

To manage the fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and MSRs.

The Company manages the risk created by IRLCs by entering into forward sale agreements to sell the expected mortgage loans or MBS and by the purchase and sale of options on MBS. Such agreements are also accounted for as derivative financial instruments. These and other interest-rate derivatives are also used to manage the fair value risk created by changes in prepayment speeds on certain of the MSRs the Company holds.

The Company classifies its IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments that are actively traded on an exchange are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

The Company does not designate its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting. Therefore, the Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments as free-standing derivatives. All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in the fair values being reported in current period income.

Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments hedging IRLCs, loans held for sale at fair value and MSRs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value or in Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Cash flows from derivative financial instruments hedging IRLCs and loans acquired for sale are included in Cash flows from operating activities in Sale and repayment of loans acquired for sale at fair value to nonaffiliates and cash flows from derivative financial instruments hedging MSRs is included in Cash flows from investing activities.

When the Company has multiple derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty subject to a master netting arrangement, it offsets the amounts recorded as assets and liabilities and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral it has deposited with the counterparty or the obligation to return cash collateral it has collected from the counterparty arising from that master netting arrangement. Such offset amounts are presented as either a net asset or liability by counterparty on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Servicing Advances

Servicing Advances

Servicing advances represent contractually required protective advances the Company makes on behalf of the loans’ beneficial interest holders. Servicing advances may include advances of scheduled principal and interest amounts due to the beneficial interest holders on delinquent loans, property taxes, insurance premiums and out-of-pocket collection amounts (e.g., preservation and restoration of mortgaged property or real estate acquired in the settlement of loans (“REO”), legal fees, and appraisals) made to protect beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans. Servicing advances are made in compliance with the respective servicing agreements and Agency loan servicing guides.

The Company does not expect to incur credit losses on servicing advances as such amounts are generally recoverable from the Agencies. Certain of the Company’s loan servicing agreements and Agency loan servicing guides limit the amounts that the beneficial interest holders or loan insurers or guarantors will reimburse the Company, and beneficial interest holders or guarantors may dispute the level of certain charges incurred in the collection process.

The Company is contractually responsible for making the payments required to protect its beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans and may, therefore, be required to incur amounts in excess of insurer or guarantor reimbursement limits. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance on the servicing advances for these amounts in excess of amounts that are expected to ultimately be recovered from the loans’ insurers, guarantors or beneficial interest holders.

The servicing advance valuation allowance is estimated based on relevant qualitative and quantitative information about past events, including historical collection and loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectable amounts. The provision for losses on servicing advances is included in Servicing expense in the consolidated statements of income. Servicing advances are written off when they are deemed unrecoverable.

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) arise from contractual agreements between the Company and investors (or their agents) in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Under these contracts, the Company performs loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest; holding custodial (impounded) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; administering loss mitigation activities, including modification and forbearance programs; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions.

The Company is contractually entitled to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and the Company is generally entitled to retain the placement fees earned on impounded funds and funds held pending remittance related to its collection of mortgagor payments. The Company also generally has the right to solicit the mortgagors for other products and services as well as for new mortgages for those considering refinancing their existing loan or purchasing a new home.

The Company recognizes MSRs and MSLs initially at fair value, either as proceeds from or liabilities incurred in sales of mortgage loans where the Company assumes the obligation to service the mortgage loan in the sale transaction, or from the purchase of MSRs or receipt of cash for acceptance of MSLs.

The fair value of MSRs and MSLs is derived from the net positive or negative, respectively, cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. For loans subject to MSR and MSL contracts, the Company receives a servicing fee, based on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the mortgage loans subject to the servicing contracts. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors.

The fair value of MSRs and MSLs is difficult to determine because MSRs and MSLs are not actively traded in observable stand-alone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of MSRs and MSLs and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect the Company’s income. Therefore, the Company classifies its MSRs and MSLs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities.

Changes in fair value of MSLs and MSRs are recognized in current period income in Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Lease

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. If the arrangement is determined to be a lease, the Company recognizes both an operating lease right-of-use asset in Other assets and a corresponding operating lease liability in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in its consolidated balance sheet, except for leases with initial terms less than or equal to 12 months. Lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in Occupancy and equipment in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s lease agreements include both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which are generally included in the lease and are accounted for together with the lease as a single lease component. As such, lease payments represent payments on both lease and non-lease components. At lease commencement, lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made before lease commencement and for any lease incentives.

Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment and Building Improvements

Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment and Building Improvements

Furniture, fixtures, equipment and building improvements are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, which range from five to seven years for furniture and equipment and the lesser of the asset’s estimated useful life or the remaining lease term for fixtures and building improvements.

Capitalized Software

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes certain consulting, payroll, and payroll-related costs related to the development of computer software for internal use. Once development is complete and the software is placed in service, the Company amortizes the capitalized costs over three to seven years using the straight-line method.

The Company periodically assesses capitalized software for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the Company identifies an indicator of impairment, it assesses recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and is measured as the excess of carrying value over fair value.

Investment in PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust at Fair Value

Investment in PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust at Fair Value

Common shares of beneficial interest in PMT are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Fair value for purposes of the Company’s holdings in PMT is based on the published closing price of the shares as of period end. The Company classifies its investment in common shares of PMT as a “Level 1” fair value asset.

Loans Eligible for Repurchase

Loans Eligible for Repurchase

The terms of the Ginnie Mae MBS program allow, but do not require, the Company to repurchase a loan when it is at least three months delinquent. As a result of this right, the Company recognizes the loans in Loans eligible for repurchase at their unpaid principal balances and records a corresponding liability in Liability for loans eligible for repurchase on its consolidated balance sheets.

Borrowings

Borrowings

The carrying values of borrowings are based on the accrued cost of the agreements. The costs of creating the facilities underlying the agreements (debt issuance costs) are included in the carrying value of the agreements and are charged to Interest expense over the terms of the respective borrowing facilities:

Debt issuance costs relating to revolving facilities, such as repurchase agreement and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale facilities are amortized on the straight line basis over the term of the facility; and

Debt issuance cost relating to non-revolving debts, such as the Company’s Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are amortized over the contractual term of the non-revolving debt using the interest method.
Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties

The Company’s agreements with the Agencies and other investors include representations and warranties related to the loans the Company sells to the Agencies and other investors. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency and other investor origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the loans. The Company’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse it may have to correspondent loan sellers that, in turn, had sold such mortgage loans to PMT and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, the Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent loan seller, through PMT.

As a result of providing representations and warranties to investors and insurers, the Company records a provision for losses on representations and warranties at fair value upon sale of loans. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates, the estimated severity of loss in the event of default and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the recorded liability. The level of the liability for representations and warranties is reviewed and approved by the Company’s management credit committee. Both the initial recognition of, and adjustments to the level of, the liability for representations and warranties are recorded in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value.

The level of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor repurchase demand or insurer claim denial strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. The Company’s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, the Company believes that the current unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans sold to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent compensation to the Company for the origination or purchase of loans. Loan origination fees are earned and recognized upon funding or purchase of the loan by the Company and are collected either at purchase from the correspondent seller, at funding when paid by the borrower or upon sale of the loan when the origination fees are financed by the borrower.

Loan Servicing Fees

Loan Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees are received by the Company for servicing loans. Loan servicing activities are described in Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities above. Loan servicing fee amounts relating to MSRs and MSLs are based upon fee rates established at the time a loan sale or securitization agreement is entered into. Loan servicing fee amounts relating to loans subserviced for PMT are detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties.

The Company’s obligations under its loan servicing agreements are fulfilled as the Company services the loans. Fees are collected when the loan payments are received from the borrowers in the case of MSRs and MSLs held by the Company or within 30 days of the applicable month-end for subserviced loans.

Loan servicing fees relating to owned MSRs are recognized when earned. Loan servicing fees relating to loans subserviced for PMT are recognized in the month in which the loans are serviced.

Fulfillment Fees

Fulfillment Fees

Fulfillment fees represent fees the Company collects for services it performs on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. Fulfillment fee amounts are based upon a negotiated fee schedule as detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties. The Company’s obligation under the agreement is fulfilled when PMT issues a loan commitment, when it purchases a loan and when it completes the sale or securitization of a loan it purchases to investors other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Fulfillment fee revenue is recognized in the month an interest rate lock commitment is issued, or the loan is purchased or sold by PMT. Fulfillment fees are not collected for any loans sold from PMT to the Company. Fulfillment fees are generally collected from PMT within 30 days of the applicable activity.

Management Fees

Management Fees

Management fees represent compensation to the Company for management services it provides to PMT. Management fees are based on PMT’s shareholders’ equity amounts and profitability in excess of specified thresholds as detailed in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties. Management fees are recognized as services are provided and are paid to the Company on a quarterly basis within 30 days of the end of the quarter.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company establishes the cost of its share-based awards at the awards’ fair values at the grant date of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units awarded with reference to the fair value of its underlying common stock and expected forfeiture rates on the date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of its stock option awards with reference to the expected price volatility of its shares of common stock, expected dividend yield, expected forfeiture rates, and risk-free interest rate for the period that exercisable stock options are expected to be outstanding.

Compensation costs are fixed, except for performance-based restricted stock units, as of the award date. The cost of performance-based restricted stock units is adjusted in each reporting period after the grant for changes in expected performance attainment until the performance share units vest. The Company amortizes the cost of stock based compensation awards to Compensation expense over the vesting period using the graded vesting method.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising (selling) expense represent expenditures for advertising, direct and digital mail solicitation and promotional activities. Marketing and advertising expense is recognized as incurred. Sponsorship agreements are amortized over the period covered by the sponsorship agreements on the straight-line basis.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company recognizes the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period in which the change occurs. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, in management’s judgment, it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized.

The Company recognizes tax benefits relating to its tax positions only if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this standard is recognized as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the appropriate taxing authority. The Company will classify any penalties and interest as a component of provision for income taxes.

As a result of a recapitalization and reorganization of PNMAC in 2013, the Company expects to benefit from amortization and other tax deductions resulting from increases in the tax basis of PNMAC’s assets from the exchange of PennyMac Class A units to the shares of the Company’s common stock. Those deductions will be allocated to the Company and will be taken into account in reporting the Company’s taxable income.

The Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of the former unitholders of PNMAC that provides for the additional payment by the Company to exchanging unitholders of PNMAC equal to 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that PFSI realizes due to (i) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of the then existing unitholders and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to PFSI entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Although a reorganization of the Company in 2018 eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and provide payment when applicable for units exchanged before the reorganization.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Tax Disclosures

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), that is intended to enhance the level of detail and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosures of:

Reconciliation of the expected tax at the applicable statutory federal income tax rate to the reported tax in a tabular format, using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items of five percent or greater of the expected tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction; and

Disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, broken out between federal and state and local income taxes. Payments to individual jurisdictions representing five percent or more of the total income tax payments must also be separately disclosed.

The disclosures specified by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect on its disclosures.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024

Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), that is intended to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The key amendments require that the Company supplement its existing disclosures to include disclosure of:

significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; and

an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-07, using the retrospective method, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Detailed disclosures are included in Note 27‒Segments.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

The FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) —Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), to improve the disclosures of expenses by requiring public business entities to provide further disaggregation of relevant expense captions; employee compensation, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets in a separate note to the financial statements. A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses and, in an annual reporting period, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.

The Company adopted ASU 2024-03 effective December 31, 2024. The disclosure specified by ASU 2024-03 is included in Note 24‒Disaggregation of Certain Expense Captions.

(1)Weighted average inputs are based on UPB of the underlying loans.

(2)Annual total prepayment speed is measured using life total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayments. Equivalent average life is provided as supplementary information.
(3)These analyses hold constant all of the inputs other than the input that is being changed in order to show an estimate of the effect on fair value of a change in a specific input. The Company expects that in a market shock event, multiple inputs would be affected and the effects of these changes may compound or counteract each other. Therefore, these analyses are not projections of the effects of a shock event or a change in the estimate of an input and should not be relied upon as earnings projections.
(4)The Company applies a pricing spread to a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.
