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 interests 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

The Company held no restricted cash during the years presented. Therefore, the consolidated statements of cash flows do not include references to restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

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 advance 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 the 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 the Company or PMT and breached similar or other representations and warranties. The Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses directly from that correspondent loan seller or, for loans originally purchased by PMT, 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. Loan servicing fee rates relating to loans subserviced for non-affiliates are based upon rates negotiated between the Company and the non-affiliate at the time a subservicing agreement is entered into.

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, sponsorship 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.

Operating Activities

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and Mortgage Servicing Rights Recapture

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement

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:

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.

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” 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 Company has further agreed to allocate resources sufficient to target a recapture rate of at least 30%.

Through 2024, the MSR recapture agreement required the Company to transfer cash to PMT 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” meant, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all recaptured mortgage loans, to (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month.

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

The Company has a mortgage banking services agreement with PMT. Under the mortgage banking services agreement, the Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. 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 the mortgage banking services 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 channel 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 described below. The Company may hold or otherwise sell correspondent loans to other investors, or to PMT at a later date, if PMT chooses not to purchase such loans. As a result of the new structure, the sourcing fee arrangement described below no longer has any effect for commitments to purchase correspondent loans made on or after July 1, 2025.

Fulfillment Services

Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage banking services agreement, the fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:

the product of (i) the sum of $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 (ii) the number of loan commitments relating to loans intended to be purchased by PMT during the quarter and thereafter retained by PMT prior to sale or securitization, divided by the total number of non-Ginnie Mae loan commitments issued during the quarter (in each case as determined after applying the applicable pull-through factor) plus
the product of (i) the sum of $315 for each purchased loan up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 for each purchased loan in excess of 16,500 per quarter, and (ii) the number of loans purchased by PMT during the quarter and thereafter retained by PMT prior to sale or securitization, divided by 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.

Through 2024, the mortgage banking services agreement provided for a quarterly fulfillment fee not to 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.

Sourcing Fees

PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, through June 30, 2025, under the agreement, the Company purchased 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 were held by PMT before purchase by the Company. The Company also acquired conventional loans from PMT on the same terms upon mutual agreement between PMT and the Company.

While the Company purchased 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. Beginning July 1, 2025, when the Company became the initial purchaser of correspondent loans, the sourcing fee was discontinued.

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.

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 MSRs and servicing for its portfolio of residential mortgage loans.

The base servicing fee rates for mortgage loans are established at a monthly per-loan dollar amount. Through September 30, 2025, the base servicing fee rates were $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans. Effective October 1, 2025, the base servicing fee rates for mortgage loans were reduced to $7.00 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.00 per month for adjustable-rate loans.
To the extent that mortgage loans become delinquent, the Company is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $18 to $80 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.

Through 2024, the loan servicing fees were established based on whether the serviced loans were “prime” loans (loans included in PMT’s MSRs, private label securitization portfolios and its inventory of loans held for sale) or “special servicing” loans (loans purchased by PMT with credit deterioration) as follows:

Prime Servicing

The base servicing fee rates for prime servicing loans were calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan was a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates were $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.
To the extent that prime loans became delinquent, the Company was 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 became REO. The Company was 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.

Special Servicing

The base servicing fee rates for special servicing loans ranged from $30 per month for current loans up to $95 per month for loans in foreclosure proceedings. The base servicing fee rate for REO was $75 per month. The Company also received a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each special servicing loan.
The Company received activity-based fees for modifications, foreclosures and liquidations that it facilitated with respect to special servicing loans, as well as other market-based refinancing and loan disposition fees.

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 and collected quarterly in arrears 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. “Shareholders’ equity” is defined as the sum of net proceeds from issuance and repurchases of equity securities since inception, plus retained earnings or reduced by accumulated deficit.
The performance incentive fee is calculated and collected annually in arrears and is a specified percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” over the fiscal year and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “common shareholders’ equity.”
The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of:

10% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the year exceeds (i) an 8% return on the average “common shareholders’ equity” during the period plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s “common shareholders’ equity”; plus
15% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the year exceeds (i) a 12% return on the average “common shareholders’ equity” during the period plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s “common shareholders’ equity”; plus
20% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the year exceeds a 16% return on the average “common shareholders’ equity” during the period 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.

“Common shareholders’ equity” is defined as “shareholders’ equity” less the average value of the Company’s preferred equity determined in accordance with GAAP.

“High watermark” is the annual adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that year exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30-year MBS Yield (the “Target Yield”) for the year then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher 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 amount required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee is 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 high watermark is calculated based on the two years preceding the fiscal year for which the incentive fee is calculated, and will never be less than zero after including all high watermark increases and high watermark decreases over any such rolling two fiscal year period.

The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares of beneficial interest), 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.

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, accounting, internal audit and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of the 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 based on the resources the Company dedicates to investment management activities for PMT, as determined by the Company in its reasonable and good faith discretion.

Through 2024, PMT reimbursed 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 would 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 was reimbursed $165,000 per fiscal quarter. Overhead expenses were previously allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets owned or managed by the Company, as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.

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.

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, investment 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 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 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 prepayments/resale 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:

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

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

Changes in fair value of loans held for sale attributable to changes in a loan’s instrument-specific credit risk are measured with reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period 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 values of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices or observed trading prices for similar loans, the probability that the loans will be funded or purchased (the “pull-through rate”) and its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the estimated fair values of MSRs attributable to the mortgage loans it has committed to originate or purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR components of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurements. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of 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. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held 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

Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities; fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company 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. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company enhanced its discounted cash flow approach to estimate the period-end fair value of its MSRs and MSLs with the adoption of an Option-Adjusted Spread (“OAS”) discounted cash flow model. The OAS model allows the Company to account for the likelihood of interest rates moving along different paths as economic conditions change in its assessment of the fair value of MSRs and MSLs as opposed to a single assumed rate path. Adoption of the OAS model did not have a significant effect on 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), OAS or pricing spread (the OAS and pricing spread are components of the 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 fees—Change 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:

(1)Weighted average inputs are based on the 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 sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular date; only contemplate the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of the models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, these analyses should not be viewed as projections of the effect of shock events or as earnings forecasts.
(4)The option-adjusted spread is a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s projected curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies an option-adjusted spread to multiple simulated paths of a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.
(5)Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. Through June 30, 2025, the Company applied a fixed pricing spread to a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating period-end 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 applicable annual total prepayment speed, OAS or 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. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company enhanced its period-end discounted cash flow valuation of MSLs by utilizing an OAS discounted cashflow model, which utilizes an OAS rather than a pricing spread.

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, 2025.

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

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

Two 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 with Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Fannie Mae, are sold to a lender pending securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. 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 VFNs, 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.

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.

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.

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. Approximately 97,000 shares under the grants with performance periods ending December 31, 2025 are expected to vest and be issued to the grantees in the first quarter of 2026.

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.

The 0% vesting rate in 2025 resulted from performance targets not being met and the vesting in 2024 and 2023 reflected performance that exceeded the established targets for the respective grants.

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.

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

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.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

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 Company’s chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer. The reportable segments are evaluated based on income or loss before provisions for 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 described below. The segments are separately evaluated because they represent different services.

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 and subservicing of loans on behalf of 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. None of the other items meet the quantitative threshold to be classified as a reportable segment.

Financial performance and results by segment are as follows:

Significant Accounting Policies  
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 interests 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

The Company held no restricted cash during the years presented. Therefore, the consolidated statements of cash flows do not include references to restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

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 advance 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 the 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

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 the Company or PMT and breached similar or other representations and warranties. The Company has the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses directly from that correspondent loan seller or, for loans originally purchased by PMT, 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. Loan servicing fee rates relating to loans subserviced for non-affiliates are based upon rates negotiated between the Company and the non-affiliate at the time a subservicing agreement is entered into.

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, sponsorship 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 Pronouncement

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in 2025

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 Company adopted ASU 2023-09 using the retrospective method for the year ended December 31, 2025. Detailed disclosures are included in Note 18‒Income Taxes.

(1)Weighted average inputs are based on the 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 sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular date; only contemplate the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of the models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, these analyses should not be viewed as projections of the effect of shock events or as earnings forecasts.
(4)The option-adjusted spread is a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s projected curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies an option-adjusted spread to multiple simulated paths of a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to MSRs.
(5)Pricing spread represents a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s forward rate curve to develop periodic discount rates. Through June 30, 2025, the Company applied a fixed pricing spread to a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating period-end MSRs.
