FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, including statements regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for our future operations, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “expect”, “believe”, “foresee”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “goal”, “strategy”, “plan”, “target” and “project” or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could” or “would” or the negative of these terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Readers should bear these factors in mind when considering forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by such statements.

OCWEN FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)
 
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE: OCN) (Ocwen, OFC, we, us and our) is a non-bank mortgage servicer and originator providing solutions to homeowners, clients, investors and others through its primary operating subsidiary, PHH Mortgage Corporation (PMC). We are headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida with offices and operations in the United States (U.S.), the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), India and the Philippines. Ocwen is a Florida corporation organized in February 1988.
Ocwen directly or indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of its operating subsidiaries, including PMC since its acquisition on October 4, 2018, Ocwen Financial Solutions Private Limited (OFSPL) and Ocwen USVI Services, LLC (OVIS). Effective May 3, 2021, Ocwen holds a 15% equity interest in MAV Canopy HoldCo I, LLC (MAV Canopy) that invests in mortgage servicing assets through its licensed mortgage subsidiary MSR Asset Vehicle LLC (MAV). See Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions for additional information.
We perform servicing activities related to our own MSR portfolio (primary) and on behalf of other servicers (subservicing), the largest being Rithm Capital Corp. (Rithm), formerly known as New Residential Investment Corp. (NRZ), and investors (primary and master servicing), including the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively referred to as GSEs), the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae, and together with the GSEs, the Agencies) and private-label securitizations (PLS, or non-Agency). As a subservicer or primary servicer, we may be required to make advances for certain property tax and insurance premium payments, default and property maintenance payments and principal and interest payments on behalf of delinquent borrowers to mortgage loan investors before recovering them from borrowers. Most, but not all, of our subservicing agreements provide for us to be reimbursed for any such advances by the owner of the servicing rights. Advances made by us as primary servicer are generally recovered from the borrower or the mortgage loan investor. As master servicer, we collect mortgage payments from primary servicers and distribute the funds to investors in the mortgage-backed securities. To the extent the primary servicer does not advance the scheduled principal and interest, as master servicer we are responsible for advancing the shortfall, subject to certain limitations.
We source our servicing portfolio through multiple channels, including retail, wholesale, correspondent, flow MSR purchase agreements, the Agency Cash Window programs and bulk MSR purchases. We originate, sell and securitize conventional (conforming to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; collectively referred to as Agency or GSE) loans and government-insured (Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)) forward mortgage loans, generally with servicing retained. The GSEs or Ginnie Mae guarantee these mortgage securitizations. We originate and purchase Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loans, or reverse mortgages, that are mostly insured by the FHA and we are an approved issuer of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities (HMBS) that are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.
We had a total of approximately 5,100 employees at September 30, 2022 of which approximately 3,300 were located in India and approximately 400 were based in the Philippines. Our operations in India and the Philippines provide internal support services to our loan servicing and originations businesses and our corporate functions.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Form 10-Q and SEC Regulation S-X, Article 10, Rule 10-01 for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations and other data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2022. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions 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. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those that relate to fair value measurements, income taxes and the provision for losses that may arise from contingencies including litigation proceedings. In developing estimates and assumptions, management uses all available information; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (ASC 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2021-04)
The amendments in this ASU provide the following guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic: (1) treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument, (2) measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange and (3) recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option to compensate for goods or services in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. In a multiple-element transaction (for example, one that includes both debt financing and equity financing), the total effect of the modification should be allocated to the respective elements in the transaction.
Our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04)
This standard provides for optional expedients and other guidance regarding the accounting related to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the phase-out of certain tenors of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) by the end of 2021 (or June 30, 2023 for U.S. dollar LIBOR of certain tenors). This guidance is effective upon issuance in March 2020 through December 31, 2022 and allows for retrospective application to contract modifications as early as January 1, 2020. We elected to retrospectively adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2020 which resulted in no immediate impact on our consolidated financial statements. Although we do not have any hedge accounting relationships, many of our debt facilities and loan agreements incorporate LIBOR as the referenced interest rate. Some of these facilities and loan agreements either matured prior to September 30, 2022 or have terms in place that provide for an alternative to LIBOR upon its phase-out.
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
Business Combinations (ASC 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities (ASU 2021-08)
The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations— Overall. The amendments in this ASU are issued to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the following: (1) recognition of an acquired contract liability and (2) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this ASU require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)).
The amendments in this ASU are effective for us on January 1, 2023. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
We securitize, sell and service forward and reverse residential mortgage loans and regularly transfer financial assets in connection with asset-backed financing arrangements. We have aggregated these transfers of financial assets and asset-backed financing arrangements using special purpose entities (SPEs) or variable interest entities (VIEs) into the following groups: (1) securitizations of residential mortgage loans, (2) financings of loans held for sale, (3) financings of advances and (4) MSR financings. Financing transactions that do not use SPEs or VIEs are disclosed in Note 13 – Borrowings.
From time to time, we may acquire beneficial interests issued in connection with mortgage-backed securitizations where we may also be the master and/or primary servicer. These beneficial interests consist of subordinate and residual interests acquired from third-parties in market transactions. We consolidate the VIE when we conclude we are the primary beneficiary.
Securitizations of Residential Mortgage Loans
Transfers of Forward Loans
We sell or securitize forward loans that we originate or purchase from third parties, generally in the form of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the GSEs or Ginnie Mae. Securitization typically occurs within 30 days of loan closing or purchase. We act only as a fiduciary and do not have a variable interest in the securitization trusts. As a result, we account for these transactions as sales upon transfer.
The following table presents a summary of cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts related to transfers of loans accounted for as sales that were outstanding:
 Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

$5,245,547 $5,834,140 $12,982,125 $12,248,479 
(1)We receive servicing fees based upon the securitized loan balances and certain ancillary fees, all of which are reported in Servicing and subservicing fees in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with these transfers, we retained MSRs of $70.2 million and $176.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $66.4 million and $136.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. We securitize forward and reverse residential mortgage loans involving the GSEs and loans insured by the FHA, VA or USDA through Ginnie Mae.
Certain obligations arise from the agreements associated with our transfers of loans. Under these agreements, we may be obligated to repurchase the loans, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties. We receive customary origination representations and warranties from our network of approved correspondent lenders. To the extent that we have recourse against a third-party originator, we may recover part or all of any loss we incur. Also refer to Note 22 – Contingencies - Loan Put-Back and Related Contingencies.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of our assets that relate to our continuing involvement with forward loans that we have transferred with servicing rights retained as well as an estimate of our maximum exposure to loss including the UPB of the transferred loans:

(2)The maximum exposure to loss does not take into consideration any recourse available to us, including from the underlying collateral or from correspondent sellers. Also, refer to Loan Put-Back and Related Contingencies in Note 22 – Contingencies.
13


At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 2.4% and 3.6%, respectively, of the transferred residential loans that we service were 60 days or more past due, including 60 days or more past due loans under forbearance. This includes 7.7% and 12.0%, respectively, of loans delivered to Ginnie Mae that are 60 days or more past due.
Transfers of Reverse Mortgages
We pool HECM loans into HMBS that we sell into the secondary market with servicing rights retained. We have determined that loan transfers in the HMBS program do not meet the definition of a participating interest and the servicing requirements require the issuer/servicer to absorb some level of interest rate risk, cash flow timing risk and incidental credit risk. As a result, the transfers of the HECM loans do not qualify for sale accounting, and therefore, we account for these transfers as financings. Under this accounting treatment, the HECM loans are classified as Loans held for investment, at fair value, on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Holders of participating interests in the HMBS have no recourse against the assets of Ocwen, except with respect to standard representations and warranties and our contractual obligation to service the HECM loans and the HMBS.
Financing of Loans Held for Sale using SPEs
We entered into a warehouse mortgage loan financing facility with a third-party lender involving an SPE (trust). This facility is structured as a gestation repurchase facility whereby Agency mortgage loans are transferred by PMC to the trust for collateralization purposes. We have designed the trust to facilitate the third party financing facility and have determined that the trust is a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we have included the trust in our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2022, the certificates issued by the trust that are pledged as collateral have been reduced to zero. See Note 13 – Borrowings.
The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of the loans held for sale financing facility:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Mortgage loans (Loans held for sale, at fair value)$ $462,144 
Outstanding borrowings (Mortgage loan warehouse facilities) 459,344 
Financings of Advances using SPEs
Match funded advances, i.e., advances that are pledged as collateral to our advance facilities, result from our transfers of residential loan servicing advances to SPEs in exchange for cash. We consolidate these SPEs because we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPEs. Through wholly-owned subsidiaries we hold the sole equity interests in the SPEs and service the mortgage loans that generate the advances. These SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred advances, and we refer to this debt as Advance match funded liabilities. Holders of the debt issued by the SPEs have recourse only to the assets of the SPE for satisfaction of the debt.
The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of the advance financing facilities:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Match funded advances (Advances, net)$540,142 $587,059 
Debt service accounts (Restricted cash)10,064 7,687 
Unamortized deferred lender fees (Other assets)2,379 1,305 
Prepaid interest (Other assets)477 225 
Advance match funded liabilities456,233 512,297 
MSR Financings using SPEs
We established two SPEs (trusts) in connection with a third-party financing facility secured by certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs (Agency MSRs). We determined that the trusts are VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we have included the trusts in our consolidated financial statements. We have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance given that we are the servicer of the Agency MSRs that result in cash flows to the trusts. In addition, we have designed the trusts at inception to facilitate the third-party funding facility under which we have the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIEs that could be potentially significant to the VIEs.

The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of the Agency MSR financing facility:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
MSRs pledged (MSRs, at fair value)$820,382 $630,605 
Unamortized deferred lender fees (Other assets)1,716 1,495 
Debt service account (Restricted cash)103 104 
Outstanding borrowings (MSR financing facilities, net) 412,287 317,523 
In 2019, we issued Ocwen Excess Spread-Collateralized Notes, Series 2019-PLS1 Class A (PLS Notes) secured by certain of PMC’s private label MSRs (PLS MSRs). On March 15, 2022, we replaced the existing PLS Notes with a new series of notes, Ocwen Excess Spread-Collateralized Notes, Series 2022-PLS1 Class A, at an initial principal amount of $75.0 million. An SPE, PMC PLS ESR Issuer LLC (PLS Issuer), was established in this connection as a wholly owned subsidiary of PMC. Ocwen guarantees the obligations of PLS Issuer under the facility.
We determined that PLS Issuer is a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we have included PLS Issuer in our consolidated financial statements. We have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance given that we are the servicer of the MSRs that result in cash flows to PLS Issuer. In addition, PMC has designed PLS Issuer at inception to facilitate the funding of PMC’s MSRs. In return for the participation interests, PMC received the proceeds from issuance of the PLS Notes. PMC is the sole member of PLS Issuer, thus PMC has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of the PLS Notes facility:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
MSRs pledged (MSRs, at fair value)$129,586 $99,833 
Debt service account (Restricted cash)1,692 1,968 
Outstanding borrowings (MSR financing facilities, net) 61,752 41,663 
Unamortized debt issuance costs (MSR financing facilities, net) 884 413 
Note 3 – Fair Value
Fair value is estimated based on a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels whereby the highest priority is given to Level 1 inputs and the lowest to Level 3 inputs.
The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of our financial instruments and certain of our nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis or disclosed, but not measured, at fair value are as follows:

(1)IRLC activity (issuances and transfers) represent changes in fair value included in earnings. This activity is presented on a gross basis in the table for disclosure purposes. Total net change in fair value included in earnings attributed to IRLCs is a gain (loss) of $(17.9) million and $(30.3) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $(3.4) million and $(8.7) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 16 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
A reconciliation from the beginning balances to the ending balances of Loans Held for Investment and HMBS-related borrowings, MSRs and Pledged liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis is disclosed in Note 5 - Reverse Mortgages, Note 7 – Mortgage Servicing and Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there have been no changes to the methodologies that we use in estimating fair values or classifications under the valuation hierarchy as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The significant unobservable assumptions that we make to estimate the fair value of significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are provided below.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans we purchased from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations is estimated using both observable and unobservable inputs, including published forward Ginnie Mae prices or existing sale contracts, as well as estimated default, prepayment, and discount rates. The significant unobservable input in estimating fair value is the estimated default rate. Accordingly, these repurchased Ginnie Mae loans are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.
Loans Held for Investment - Reverse Mortgages
Reverse mortgage loans held for investment are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Significant unobservable assumptions include conditional prepayment rate and discount rate. The conditional prepayment rate assumption displayed in the table below is inclusive of voluntary (repayment or payoff) and involuntary (inactive/delinquent status and default) prepayments. The discount rate assumption is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields on reverse mortgage loan and tail securitizations, expected duration of the asset and current market interest rates.

Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value, respectively. The effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the securitized loans held for investment, excluding future draw commitments, are partially offset by the effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the HMBS-related borrowings that are associated with these loans.
MSRs
MSRs are carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value is equal to the fair value mark provided by the third-party valuation experts, without adjustment, except in the event we have a potential or completed sale, including transactions where we have executed letters of intent, in which case the fair value of the MSRs is recorded at the estimated sale price.
A change in the valuation inputs or assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in market interest rates predominantly impact the fair value of Agency MSRs via prepayment speeds by altering the borrower refinance incentive and the non-Agency MSRs due to the impact on advance funding costs. The significant unobservable assumptions used in the valuation of these MSRs include prepayment speeds, delinquency rates, cost to service and discount rates.

Weighted average discount rate9.1 %10.6 %8.5 %11.2 %
Weighted average cost to service (in dollars)$72 $193 $71 $205 
Because the mortgages underlying these MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans, the value of the MSRs generally tends to diminish in periods of declining interest rates, an improving housing market or expanded product availability (as prepayments increase) and increase in periods of rising interest rates, a deteriorating housing market or reduced product availability (as prepayments decrease). The following table summarizes the estimated change in the value of the MSRs as of September 30, 2022 given hypothetical increases in lifetime prepayments and yield assumptions:

Financing Liabilities
HMBS-Related Borrowings
HMBS-related borrowings are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. These borrowings are not actively traded, and therefore, quoted market prices are not available.
Significant unobservable assumptions include yield spread and discount rate. The yield spread and discount rate assumption for these liabilities are primarily based on an assessment of current market yields for newly issued HMBS, expected duration and current market interest rates.

Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value, respectively. The effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the HMBS-related borrowings are partially offset by the effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the associated pledged loans held for investment, excluding future draw commitments.
Pledged MSR Liabilities
Pledged MSR liabilities are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. We determine the fair value of the pledged MSR liability consistent with the prices provided by third-party valuation experts for the related MSR, considering retained cash flows.

Significant increases or decreases in these assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
ESS Financing Liability
The Excess Servicing Spread (ESS) financing liability consists of the obligation to remit to a third party a specified percentage of future servicing fee collections on a reference pool of GSE mortgage loans, which we are entitled to as owner of the related MSRs. We have elected to carry the ESS Financing liability at fair value and have classified it as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value represents the net present value of the excess servicing spread cash flows, consistent with the valuation model, inputs and assumptions of the underlying MSR, as applicable, The significant unobservable assumptions used in the valuation of the ESS financing liability include prepayment speeds, delinquency rates, and discount rates. Refer to MSRs above for description of significant unobservable assumptions. Also see Note 12 - Other Financing Liabilities.
Derivative Financial Instruments
IRLCs are classified as Level 3 assets as fallout rates were determined to be significant unobservable assumptions.

(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased a reverse mortgage servicing portfolio of HECM loans securitized in Ginnie Mae pools. As the Ginnie Mae HMBS program does not qualify for sale accounting, the transaction conveyed the HECM loans and associated HMBS-related borrowings to us. We have accounted for this transaction as a secured financing, as a purchase of loans held for investment and assumption of an HMBS securitization liability for the obligation to Ginnie Mae.
(2)Represents amounts due to the holders of beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae guaranteed HMBS that did not qualify for sale accounting treatment of HECM loans. Under this accounting treatment, the HECM loans securitized with Ginnie Mae remain on our consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds from the sale are recognized as a financing liability, which is recorded at fair value consistent with the
24


related HECM loans. The beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae guaranteed HMBS have no maturity dates, and the borrowings mature as the related loans are repaid. The interest rate is the pass-through rate of the loans less applicable margin. See Note 2 – Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities

Float balances (balances in custodial accounts, which represent collections of principal and interest that we receive from borrowers on behalf of investors) are held in escrow by unaffiliated banks and are excluded from our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Float balances amounted to $2.0 billion, $2.1 billion and $3.3 billion at September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting
MSRs transferred or sold in transactions which do not qualify for sale accounting treatment are accounted for as secured financings. Until such time as the transaction qualifies as a sale for accounting purposes, we continue to recognize the MSRs and related financing liability on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets, as well as the full amount of servicing fee collected
27



as revenue and the servicing fee remitted as Pledged MSR liability expense in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. In addition, changes in fair value of the transferred MSRs are recognized in MSR valuation adjustments, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, while changes in fair value of the related MSR financing liability are reported in Pledged MSR liability expense.
In 2021 and 2022, PMC entered into agreements to sell MSR portfolios to MAV on a bulk and flow basis. In each such agreement, PMC has been retained as subservicer for the sold portfolio in accordance with the terms of the subservicing agreement entered into on May 3, 2021. The transactions do not qualify for sale accounting treatment predominantly due to the termination restrictions of the subservicing agreement. See Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions.
Starting in 2012, Ocwen entered into agreements to sell MSRs or Rights to MSRs and the related servicing advances to Rithm (formerly NRZ), and in all cases have been retained by Rithm as subservicer. In May 2022, Ocwen entered into amendments to the subservicing agreements to extend their terms to December 31, 2023 and establish a process for subsequent term extensions. In addition, the amendments provide for a modification of the sharing of some ancillary income between PMC and Rithm. Due to the length of the non-cancellable term of the subservicing agreements, the transactions do not qualify for sale accounting treatment which results in such transactions being accounted for as secured financings. In the case of Rights to MSRs transactions with Rithm, legal title was retained by Ocwen, causing the transactions to be accounted for as secured financings.
The following tables present the activity of the pledged MSR liability recorded in connection with the MSR transfer agreements with Rithm and MAV that do not qualify for sale accounting.

(1)Represents the carrying value of MSRs in connection with call rights exercised by Rithm, or by Ocwen at Rithm’s direction. Ocwen derecognizes the MSRs and the related financing liability upon collapse of the securitization.
(2)The fair value of the Pledged MSR liability differs from the fair value of the associated transferred MSR asset mostly due to the portion of ancillary income that is retained by PMC (shared between PMC and MAV) and other contractual cash flows under the terms of the
28



subservicing agreement. As the MSR sales to MAV do not achieve sale accounting, the MSR asset transferred remains on the consolidated balance sheet and the proceeds from the sale are initially recognized as a financing liability (Pledged MSR liability), which is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reported in Pledged MSR liability expense.
(3)During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we derecognized a portion of the MAV Pledged MSR liability upon sale of the related MSRs by MAV to a third party with a UPB of $2.9 billion.
(4)The changes in fair value of the MAV Pledged MSR Liability in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include a $14.1 million loss associated with the amendment to the MAV Subservicing Agreement in March 2022, resulting in lower contractually retained ancillary income by PMC.

Rithm - Ocwen Transactions
Ocwen entered into a series of agreements to transfer Rithm the servicing of certain mortgage loans. Prior to the transfer of legal title under the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 2012, as amended, and certain Sale Supplements, as amended (collectively, the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements), Ocwen agreed to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs on the economic terms set forth in the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements. After the transfer of legal title as contemplated under the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements, Ocwen was to service the mortgage loans underlying the MSRs as subservicer on substantially the same economic terms.
On July 23, 2017 and January 18, 2018, we entered into a series of agreements with Rithm that collectively modify, supplement and supersede the arrangements among the parties as set forth in the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements. The July 23, 2017 agreements, as amended, include a Master Agreement, a Transfer Agreement and the Subservicing Agreement between Ocwen and New Residential Mortgage LLC (NRM), a subsidiary of Rithm, relating to non-Agency loans (the NRM Subservicing Agreement) (collectively, the 2017 Agreements) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to Rithm of Ocwen’s legal title to the remaining MSRs that were subject to the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements and under which Ocwen would subservice mortgage loans underlying the MSRs for an initial term ending in July 2022 (the Initial Term).
On January 18, 2018, the parties entered into new agreements (including a New RMSR Agreement, with an attached Servicing Addendum) regarding the Rights to MSRs related to MSRs that remained subject to the Original Rights to MSRs Agreements as of January 1, 2018 and amended the Transfer Agreement (collectively, New RMSR Agreements) to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of our arrangements in order to achieve the intent of the 2017 Agreements sooner. Under the new agreements, following receipt of the required consents and transfer of the MSRs, Ocwen subservices the mortgage loans underlying the transferred MSRs pursuant to the 2017 Agreements and the August 2018 subservicing agreement with NewRez LLC dba Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing (Shellpoint) described below.
30



On August 17, 2018, Ocwen and Rithm entered into certain amendments (i) to the New RMSR Agreements to include Shellpoint, a subsidiary of Rithm, as a party to which legal title to the MSRs could be transferred after related consents are received, (ii) to add a Subservicing Agreement between Ocwen and Shellpoint relating to non-Agency loans (the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement), (iii) to add an Agency Subservicing Agreement between Ocwen and NRM relating to Agency loans (the Agency Subservicing Agreement), and (iv) to conform the New RMSR Agreements and the NRM Subservicing Agreement to certain of the terms of the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement and the Agency Subservicing Agreement.
On May 2, 2022, Ocwen entered into amendments to the following three agreements with certain subsidiaries of Rithm: (a) the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement; (b) the NRM Subservicing Agreement; and (c) the New RMSR Agreement, including the attached Servicing Addendum, dated as of January 18, 2018 with NRM, HLLS Holdings, LLC and HLSS MSR – EBO Acquisition LLC (the New RMSR Agreement or the Servicing Addendum). The amendments modified the terms of the Subservicing Agreements and the Servicing Addendum as follows: (i) the term of each Agreement was extended to December 31, 2023 (“Second Term”), with the Initial Term ending on May 1, 2022 and the Second Term beginning on May 2, 2022; (ii) subsequent term extensions will be automatic one-year renewals, unless Ocwen provides six months’ advance notice of termination (by July 1), or the Rithm parties provide three months’ advance notice of termination (by October 1) at the end of the then-current term as described below; and (iii) the parties will share a portion of some ancillary revenues. In addition, the amendments provided for certain immaterial modifications and clarifications of existing terms. The amendments on May 2, 2022 do not result in the prior transfers of MSR from Ocwen to Rithm qualifying for sale accounting prior to December 31, 2023, absent any subsequent amendment.
Under the terms of the Subservicing Agreements and Servicing Addendum, as amended, in addition to a base servicing fee, Ocwen receives certain ancillary fees, primarily late fees, loan modification fees and convenience or other loan collection fees, where permitted. We may also receive certain incentive fees or pay penalties tied to various contractual performance metrics. Rithm receives all float earnings and deferred servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments, as well as being entitled to receive a portion of some ancillary revenues and certain REO related income including REO referral commissions.
Pursuant to the amendments noted above, the Subservicing Agreements and Servicing Addendum may be terminated by Ocwen or Rithm without cause (in effect a non-renewal) by providing notice in advance of the end of the Second Term or the end of each one-year extension of the applicable terms after the Second Term. Ocwen must provide a notice of termination by July 1, 2023, with respect to the Second Term or by July 1 of each one-year extended term after the Second Term and Rithm must provide notice by October 1, 2023 with respect to the Second Term or by October 1 of each one-year extended term after the Second Term.
In addition, Rithm and Ocwen have the ability to terminate the Subservicing Agreements and Servicing Addendum for cause if certain specified conditions occur. The terminations must be terminations in whole (i.e., cover all the loans under the relevant Subservicing Agreement or Servicing Addendum) and not in part, except for limited circumstances specified in the agreements. In addition, if Rithm terminates any of the NRM or Shellpoint Subservicing Agreements or the Servicing Addendum for cause, the other agreements will also terminate automatically.
As of September 30, 2022, the UPB of MSRs subject to the Servicing Agreements and the New RMSR Agreements is $50.3 billion, including $11.0 billion for which title has not transferred to Rithm and $1.9 billion for which Ocwen is subservicer and Rithm servicer of record. As the third-party consents required for title to the MSRs to transfer were not obtained by May 31, 2019, the New RMSR Agreements set forth a process under which Rithm’s $11.0 billion Rights to MSRs may (i) be acquired by Ocwen at a price determined in accordance with the terms of the New RMSR Agreements, at the option of Ocwen, or (ii) be sold, together with Ocwen’s title to those MSRs, to a third party in accordance with the terms of the New RMSR Agreements, subject to an additional Ocwen option to acquire at a price based on the winning third-party bid rather than selling to the third party. If the Rights to MSRs are not transferred pursuant to these alternatives, then the Rights to MSRs will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreements.
As stated above, Rithm has the right to terminate the $11.0 billion New RMSR Agreements for convenience, in whole but not in part, subject to approximately three months’ advance notice of termination at the end of the Second Term or the end of the then-applicable annual extended term. If Rithm exercises this termination right, Rithm has the option of seeking (i) the transfer of the MSRs through a sale to a third party of its Rights to MSRs (together with a transfer of Ocwen’s title to those MSRs) or (ii) a substitute RMSR arrangement that substantially replicates the Rights to MSRs structure (a Substitute RMSR Arrangement) under which we would transfer title to the MSRs to a successor servicer and Rithm would continue to own the economic rights and obligations related to the MSRs. In the case of option (i), we have a purchase option as specified in the New RMSR Agreements. If Rithm is not able to sell the Rights to MSRs or establish a Substitute RMSR Arrangement with another servicer, Rithm has the right to revoke its termination notice and re-instate the Servicing Addendum or to establish a subservicing arrangement whereby the MSRs remaining subject to the New RMSR Agreements would be transferred to up to three subservicers who would subservice under Ocwen’s oversight. If such a subservicing arrangement were established, Ocwen would receive an oversight fee and reimbursement of expenses. We may also agree on alternative arrangements that are not contemplated under our existing agreements or that are variations of those contemplated under our existing agreements.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for losses primarily related to receivables of our Servicing business. The allowance for losses related to FHA-, VA- or USDA insured loans repurchased from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations (government-insured claims) was $36.5 million and $41.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The government-insured claims that do not exceed HUD, VA, FHA or USDA insurance limits are not subject to any allowance for losses as guaranteed by the U.S. government. The receivable amount in excess of the guaranteed claim limits or recoverable amounts per insurer guidelines or as a result of servicer error, such as exceeding key filing or foreclosure timelines, is subject to an allowance for losses. Receivables are financial assets subject to the credit loss allowance model under ASC 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (CECL). The allowance for expected credit losses 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 collectability. We generally charge off the receivable balance when management determines the receivable to be uncollectible and when the receivable has been classified as a loss by our servicing claims analysis process.

Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions
Investment in MAV Canopy. On December 21, 2020, Ocwen entered into a transaction agreement (the Transaction Agreement) with Oaktree Capital Management L.P. and certain affiliates (collectively Oaktree) to form a strategic relationship to invest in MSRs exclusively subserviced by PMC. The parties have agreed to invest their pro rata portions of up to an aggregate of $250.0 million in an intermediate holding company, MAV Canopy, held 15% by Ocwen and 85% by Oaktree. Also refer to Note 23 – Subsequent Events.
On May 3, 2021, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Ocwen contributed 100% of its equity interest in MAV, which had total member’s equity and cash balances of approximately $5.0 million at the time of its contribution, to MAV Canopy. In exchange for its contribution, Ocwen received 15% equity interest of MAV Canopy plus $4.4 million cash consideration from
32



MAV Canopy that was representative of the remaining 85% of MAV. MAV is a licensed mortgage servicing company approved to purchase GSE MSRs. PMC and MAV entered into a number of definitive agreements which govern the terms of their business relationship:
We account for our 15% investment in MAV Canopy under the equity method. Our investment activity may be summarized as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Ending balance$38,711 $19,794 $38,711 $19,794 
(1)     Note that MAV Canopy accounts for its MSR portfolio under the fair value option.
Under the Amended & Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement with MAV Canopy, Ocwen is entitled to receive its 15% percentage interest share of MAV Canopy’s earnings, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon MAV Canopy liquidation or upon determination of the MAV Canopy Board of Directors to make advance distributions, Ocwen is entitled to receive a specified portion of the distribution amount available (“Promote Distribution”), after satisfaction of required distribution thresholds, including a specified internal rate of return threshold on Oaktree member’s gross adjusted capital contributions. We determined that the Promote Distribution represents an incentive fee under our various service agreements with MAV with a variable consideration and is recognized in earnings when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. As of September 30, 2022, Ocwen has not recognized any such Promote Distribution income.
Subservicing Agreement. Effective May 3, 2021, PMC entered into a subservicing agreement with MAV for exclusive rights to service the mortgage loans underlying MSRs owned by MAV in exchange for a per-loan subservicing fee and certain other ancillary fees. The subservicing agreement will continue until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or for cause, as defined. If either party terminates the agreement for cause, the other party is required to pay certain fees and costs. MAV is permitted to sell the underlying MSR without Ocwen’s consent after May 3, 2024. As of September 30, 2022, PMC subserviced a total $38.5 billion UPB on behalf of MAV, of which $26.2 billion MSR remains reported on the consolidated balance sheet of PMC - see below for information on MSR sales by PMC to MAV that do not achieve sale accounting. Subserviced loans exclude UPB of $10.1 billion that have not yet transferred to our servicing system as of September 30, 2022. Effective March 1, 2022, PMC and MAV amended certain provisions of the subservicing agreement to adjust down the ancillary fee retained by PMC to enhance the competitiveness of MAV when buying MSRs and generate additional subservicing volume to PMC. The amendment resulted in a $14.1 million fair value loss (as a change in the present value of future contractual cash flows) on the Pledged MSR liability that is reported at fair value in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Joint Marketing Agreement and Recapture Agreement. Effective May 3, 2021, in conjunction with the subservicing agreement, PMC and MAV entered into a joint marketing agreement and a flow MSR sale agreement (MSR recapture), whereby PMC is entitled to the exclusive right to solicit and refinance borrowers with loans underlying the MSR owned by MAV, and is obligated to transfer to MAV the MSR associated with the loans so originated. Under the agreements, the parties share the recapture benefits, whereby PMC realizes gains or losses on loans sold and MAV is delivered the recaptured MSR for no cash consideration. The joint marketing agreement and flow MSR sale agreement will continue until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or for cause, as defined, or at the option of either party if the subservicing agreement is terminated. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PMC transferred UPB of $261.3 million under this agreement.
33



Right of First Offer. Following the execution of the Transaction Agreement and until the parties have contributed their pro rata portions of the $250.0 million aggregate capital contributions, Ocwen and its affiliates may not acquire, without Oaktree’s prior written approval, GSE MSRs that meet certain underwriting and other criteria (such criteria are referred to as the “buy-box”) unless Ocwen notifies MAV of the opportunity and MAV does not pursue it by submitting a competitive bid to the MSR seller. In addition, until the earlier of (i) the time that MAV has been fully funded and (ii) May 3, 2024 (subject to two annual extensions by mutual agreement), if Ocwen seeks to sell any GSE MSRs that meet the buy-box, Ocwen must first offer such MSRs to MAV before initiating a sale process with a third party. If MAV does not accept Ocwen’s offer, Ocwen may sell the MSRs to a third party on terms no more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to MAV. The price at which Ocwen and its affiliates will offer MSRs to MAV will be based on the valuation of an independent third-party. This first offer provision does not apply to MSRs acquired by PMC prior to May 3, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, MAV Canopy aggregated capital contributions amounted to $139.9 million, net of distributions (excluding earnings distributions).
Forward Bulk Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement: On September 9, 2021, PMC and MAV entered into an MSR purchase and sale agreement whereby PMC sells MAV on a monthly basis certain Fannie Mae MSRs at the price acquired by PMC, subject to certain adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PMC transferred MSRs with UPB of $6.3 billion to MAV under this agreement.
Bulk Mortgage Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PMC transferred MAV certain MSRs in bulk transactions for an aggregate UPB of approximately $598.3 million.
The MSR sale transactions between PMC and MAV do not qualify for sale accounting primarily due to the termination restrictions of the subservicing agreement, and are accounted for as secured borrowings. See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting for a summary of transactions under this agreement.
Administrative Services Agreement: Ocwen provides certain administrative services to MAV, including accounting, treasury, human resources, management information, MSR transaction management support, and certain licensing, regulatory and risk management support. Ocwen is entitled to a fee for such services, subject to an annual cap of $0.5 million.
MAV Canopy, MAV and Oaktree are deemed related parties to Ocwen. In addition to its investment in MAV Canopy, the subservicing agreement by PMC and the other agreements described above, Ocwen issued common stock, warrants and senior secured notes to Oaktree in 2021 as described in Note 13 – Borrowings and Note 17 – Interest Expense.

On April 1, 2022, PMC boarded approximately 19,000 reverse mortgage loans with a UPB of $4.1 billion onto our servicing platform under the five-year subservicing agreement executed on October 1, 2021 with Mortgage Assets Management, LLC (formerly known as Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc.) (MAM (RMS)). A purchase price of $6.9 million was paid on April 7, 2022 with the assumption of a liability for curtailments and $8.1 million was recognized as a subservicing contract intangible asset, based on its relative fair value, to be amortized ratably over the five-year term of the subservicing contract based on portfolio runoff. This boarding is in addition to approximately 40,000 reverse mortgage loans with a UPB of $9.1 billion boarded during the first quarter of 2022.

The certificates in the trust pay interest based on fixed rates ranging between 4.25% and 5.75% and a variable rate based on 1ML plus applicable margin, and include principal-only certificates that are not entitled to receive distributions of interest. The maturity of the certificates occurs upon maturity of the loans held by the trust.

(1)The amortization date of our facilities is the date on which the revolving period ends under each advance facility note and repayment of the outstanding balance must begin if the note is not renewed or extended. The maturity date is the date on which all outstanding balances must be repaid. In all of our advance facilities, there are multiple notes outstanding. After the amortization date for each note, all collections that represent the repayment of advances pledged to the facility must be applied ratably to each outstanding amortizing note to reduce the balance and, as such, the collection of advances allocated to the amortizing note may not be used to fund new advances.

(2)The committed borrowing capacity under the OMART and OGAF facilities is available to us provided that we have sufficient eligible collateral to pledge. At September 30, 2022, none of the available borrowing capacity of the OMART and OGAF advance financing notes could be used based on the amount of eligible collateral.

(4)We voluntarily repaid the outstanding balance of the Series 2020-T1 term notes at the amortization date in August 2022 and replaced with variable funding notes. See (3) above. The range of interest rates on the individual classes of the repaid notes was between 1.28% to 5.42%.
(5)Interest is computed based on the lender’s cost of funds plus applicable margin. On January 31, 2022, we amended the Ocwen Freddie Advance Funding (OFAF) advance facility to include Fannie Mae advances as eligible collateral and renamed the facility Ocwen GSE Advance Funding (OGAF). On August 26, 2022, the amortization date of the facility was extended to August 25, 2023, the committed borrowing capacity was increased from $40.0 million to $50.0 million and the interest rate margin was modified.
(6)On May 2, 2022, we entered into a loan and security agreement and issued a $1.7 million promissory note to the lender. The facility has total uncommitted borrowing capacity of $20.0 million to finance the acquisition of advances in connection with the early buyout of certain fixed-rate, fully-amortizing FHA-insured residential mortgage loans, at an interest rate of 1M Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus applicable margin. At September 30, 2022, none of the available borrowing capacity of the facility could be used based on the amount of eligible collateral.
(7)The weighted average interest rate, excluding the effect of the amortization of prepaid lender fees, is computed using the outstanding balance of each respective note and its interest rate at the financial statement date. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of unamortized prepaid lender fees was $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and are included in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

The redemption resulted in our recognition of a $7.1 million loss on debt extinguishment.
Issuance of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026
On March 4, 2021, PMC completed the issuance and sale of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due March 15, 2026 (the PMC Senior Secured Notes) at a discount of $2.1 million. The PMC Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Ocwen and PHH and were sold in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
Interest on the PMC Senior Secured Notes accrues at a rate of 7.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2021.
On or after March 15, 2023, PMC may redeem some or all of the PMC Senior Secured Notes at its option at the following redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on March 15th of the years indicated below:

Prior to March 15, 2023, PMC may, on any one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the PMC Senior Secured Notes at its option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium equal to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of such note and (ii) the excess of (1) the present value at the redemption date of the sum of (A) the redemption price of the note at March 15, 2023 (such redemption price is set forth in the table above) plus (B) all required interest payments due on such notes through March 15, 2023 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), such present value to be computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture governing the PMC Senior Secured Notes (Indenture)) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (2) the then outstanding principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
39



In addition, on or prior to March 15, 2023, PMC may also redeem up to 35.0% of the principal amount of all of the PMC Senior Secured Notes originally issued under the Indenture (including any additional PMC Senior Secured Notes issued under the Indenture) using the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable date of redemption); provided that: (i) at least 65.0% of the principal amount of all PMC Senior Secured Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and (ii) PMC makes such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such equity offering.
The Indenture contains customary covenants for debt securities of this type that limit the ability of PHH and its restricted subsidiaries (including PMC) to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of PHH’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, (iv) make investments, (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, and (vi) enter into transactions with Ocwen’s affiliates.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased a total of $25.0 million of the PMC Senior Secured Notes in the open market for a price of $23.6 million, and recognized a $0.9 million gain on debt extinguishment, net of the respective write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.
Issuance of OFC Senior Secured Notes
On March 4, 2021, Ocwen completed the private placement of $199.5 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the OFC Senior Secured Notes) with an OID of $24.5 million to certain entities owned by funds and accounts managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the Oaktree Investors). Concurrent with the issuance of the OFC Senior Secured Notes, Ocwen issued to the Oaktree Investors warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The $158.5 million proceeds were allocated to the OFC Senior Secured Notes on a relative fair value basis resulting in an initial discount.
On May 3, 2021, Ocwen issued to Oaktree the second tranche of the OFC Senior Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $85.5 million with an OID of $10.5 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the second tranche of OFC Senior Secured Notes, Ocwen issued to the Oaktree Investors shares and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The $68.0 million proceeds were allocated to the OFC Senior Secured Notes on a relative fair value basis resulting in an initial discount.
The OFC Senior Secured Notes mature on March 4, 2027 with no amortization of principal. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December and accrues at the rate of 12% per annum to the extent interest is paid in cash or 13.25% per annum to the extent interest is “paid-in-kind” through an increase in the principal amount or the issuance of additional notes (PIK Interest). Prior to March 4, 2022, all of the interest on the OFC Senior Secured Notes may, at our option, be paid as PIK Interest. On or after March 4, 2022, a minimum amount of interest is required to be paid in cash equal to the lesser of (i) 7% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the OFC Senior Secured Notes and (ii) the total amount of unrestricted cash of Ocwen and its subsidiaries less the greater of $125.0 million and the minimum liquidity amounts required by any agency.
The OFC Senior Secured Notes are solely the obligation of Ocwen and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Ocwen, including a pledge of the equity of Ocwen’s directly held subsidiaries. The lien on Ocwen’s assets securing the OFC Senior Secured Notes is junior to the lien securing Ocwen’s guarantee of the 7.875% PMC Senior Secured Notes described above. The OFC Senior Secured Notes are not guaranteed by any of Ocwen’s subsidiaries nor are they secured by a pledge or lien on any assets of Ocwen’s subsidiaries.
Prior to March 4, 2026, we are permitted to redeem the OFC Senior Secured Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to par, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On and after March 4, 2026, we will be permitted to redeem the OFC Senior Secured Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a company’s debt obligations. At September 30, 2022, the S&P issuer credit rating for Ocwen was “B-”. On January 24, 2022, S&P raised the assigned rating of the PMC Senior Secured Notes from “B-” to ‘B’ and maintained a stable issuer outlook citing improved profitability and an increase in assets. Moody’s reaffirmed their ratings of Caa1 and revised their outlook to Stable from Negative on February 24, 2021. On August 15, 2022, Moody’s reaffirmed PMC’s long-term corporate family ratings of Caa1 and revised their outlook to Positive from Stable. It is possible that additional actions by credit rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and funding position, including materially changing the terms on which we may be able to borrow money.

Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity
On May 20, 2022, Ocwen’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million of Ocwen’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The repurchase program is intended to qualify for the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Through September 30, 2022, we have completed the repurchase of 1,338,498 shares of our common stock in the open market under this program at prevailing market prices for a total purchase price of $38.7 million (excluding commissions) at an average price per share of $28.93. The repurchased shares were retired as of September 30, 2022. Unless Ocwen amends the share repurchase program or
42



repurchases the full $50.0 million amount by an earlier date, the share repurchase program will continue through November 20, 2022. No assurances can be given as to the amount of shares, if any, that Ocwen may repurchase in any given period. Also refer to Note 23 – Subsequent Events.

Interest Rate Risk
MSR Hedging
MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The fair value of MSRs is subject to changes in market interest rates among other inputs and assumptions.
Through May 2021, management implemented a macro-hedging strategy to reduce the volatility of the MSR portfolio attributable to interest rate changes. As a general matter, the impact of interest rates on the fair value of our MSR portfolio is naturally offset by other exposures, including our loan pipeline and our economic MSR value embedded in our reverse mortgage loan portfolio. Our hedging strategy was targeted at mitigating the residual exposure, which we referred to as our net MSR portfolio exposure. We defined our net MSR portfolio exposure as follows:
our more interest rate-sensitive Agency MSR portfolio,
less the Agency MSRs subject to our agreements with Rithm (See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting),
less the unsecuritized reverse mortgage loans and tails classified as held for investment,
less the asset value for securitized HECM loans, net of the corresponding HMBS-related borrowings, and
less the net value of our held for sale loan portfolio and lock commitments (pipeline).
Effective May 2021, management started hedging its MSR portfolio and its pipeline separately (see below for further description of pipeline hedging), effectively ending the macro-hedge strategy previously in place. Under the new MSR hedging strategy, the interest-rate sensitive MSR portfolio exposure is now defined as follows:
Agency MSR portfolio,
expected Agency MSR bulk transactions subject to letters of intent (LOI),
less the Agency MSRs subject to our sale agreements with Rithm and MAV (See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting),
less the asset value for securitized HECM loans, net of the corresponding HMBS-related borrowings.
The objective of our MSR policy is to provide partial hedge coverage of interest-rate sensitive MSR portfolio exposure, considering market and liquidity conditions. The hedge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of hedge and asset rate sensitivity (referred to as DV01) is subject to lower and upper thresholds, as modeled. As of September 30, 2022, a minimum 25% and 30% hedge coverage ratios were required for interest rate declines less than, and more than 50 basis points, respectively. Prior to September 30, 2022, the hedge coverage ratio was required to remain within a minimum of 40% and maximum of 60%. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of our hedging instruments may not fully offset the changes in fair value of our net MSR
44



portfolio exposure attributable to interest rate changes. We periodically evaluate the hedge coverage ratio at the intended shock interval to determine if it is relevant or warrants adjustment based on market conditions, symmetry of interest rate risk exposure, and liquidity impacts of both the hedge and asset profile under shock scenarios. As the market dictates, management may choose to maintain hedge coverage ratio levels at or beyond the above thresholds, with approval of the Market Risk Committee, in order to preserve liquidity and/or optimize asset returns. In addition, while DV01 measures may remain within the range of our hedging strategy’s objective, actual changes in fair value of the derivatives and MSR portfolio may not offset to the same extent, due to non-parallel changes in the interest rate curve and the basis risk inherent in the MSR profile and hedging instruments, among other factors. We continuously evaluate the use of hedging instruments to strive to enhance the effectiveness of our interest rate hedging strategy.
Our derivative instruments include forward trades of MBS or Agency TBAs with different banking counterparties, exchange-traded interest rate swap futures and interest rate options. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges. TBAs, or To-Be-Announced securities, are actively traded, forward contracts to purchase or sell Agency MBS on a specific future date. From time-to-time, we enter into exchange-traded options contracts with purchased put options financed by written call options. We report changes in fair value of these derivative instruments in MSR valuation adjustments, net in our consolidated statements of operations, within the Servicing segment. We may, from time to time, establish inter-segment derivative instruments between the MSR and pipeline hedging strategies to optimize the use of third party derivatives. Such inter-segment derivatives are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
The derivative instruments are subject to margin requirements, posted as either initial or variation margin. Ocwen may be required to post or may be entitled to receive cash collateral with its counterparties through margin calls, based on daily value changes of the instruments. Changes in market factors, including interest rates, and our credit rating may require us to post additional cash collateral and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and liquidity.
Pipeline Hedging - Interest Rate Lock Commitments and Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value
In our Originations business, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the interest rate lock commitment through (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date or (ii) through the date of sale or securitization of the resulting loan into the secondary mortgage market. Loan commitments for forward loans generally range from 5 to 90 days, with the majority of our commitments to borrowers for 55 to 75 days and our commitments to correspondent sellers for 7 days. Loans held for sale are generally funded and sold within 3 to 20 days. This interest rate exposure was not individually hedged until May 2021, but rather used as an offset to our MSR exposure and managed as part of our MSR macro-hedging strategy described above. Effective May 2021, we implemented a new pipeline hedging strategy, whereby the interest rate exposure of loans and IRLCs is economically hedged with derivative instruments, including forward sales of Agency TBAs. The objective of our pipeline hedging strategy is to reduce the volatility of the fair value of IRLCs and loans due to market interest rates, thus to preserve the initial gain on sale margin at lock date. We report changes in fair value of these derivative instruments as gain or loss on economic hedge instruments within either Gain on loans held for sale, net and Reverse mortgage revenue, net in our consolidated statements of operations, respectively.
EBO and Loan Modification Hedging – Loans Held for Sale, at fair value
Effective February 2022, management started hedging certain Ginnie Mae EBO loans as well as loans in process of modification pending redelivery/re-securitization to manage interest rate risk. Such interest rate exposure on these loans held for sale accounted for at fair value is economically hedged using forward trades of TBAs. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are reported as gain or loss on economic hedge instruments within Gain on loans held for sale, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations in India and the Philippines expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our foreign exchange positions remain unhedged. Depending on the magnitude and risk of our positions we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against the effect of changes in the value of the India Rupee or Philippine Peso. We currently do not hedge our foreign currency exposure with derivative instruments. Foreign currency remeasurement exchange gains (losses) were $(0.2) million and $(0.2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and are reported in Other, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 19 – Business Segment Reporting
Our business segments reflect the internal reporting that we use to evaluate operating performance of services and to assess the allocation of our resources. Our reportable business segments consist of Servicing, Originations, and Corporate Items and Other. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there have been no changes to our business segments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, with the exception of certain reclassifications disclosed below.
Effective in the first quarter of 2022, we recognize revaluation gains on Fannie Mae MSRs purchased through the Agency Cash Window Program within the Servicing segment that were historically reported in the Originations segment. MSR valuation adjustments, net for the Servicing and Originations segments have been revised for prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation. Such revaluation gains were $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Revenues and expenses directly associated with each respective business segments are included in determining its results of operations. We allocate certain expenses incurred by corporate support services to each business segment using various methodologies intended to approximate the utilization of such services. We allocate overhead costs incurred by corporate support services to the Servicing and Originations segments which incorporates the utilization of various measurements primarily based on time studies, personnel volumes and service consumption levels. Support services costs not allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments are retained in the Corporate Items and Other segment along with certain other costs including certain litigation and settlement related expenses or recoveries, costs related to our re-engineering initiatives, and other costs related to operating as a public company. Interest expense on direct asset-backed financings are recorded in the respective Servicing and Originations segments. We allocate interest expense on corporate debt from Corporate Items and Other to the Servicing segment and the Originations segment (starting in the fourth quarter of 2021) based on relative financing requirements. Effective in the first quarter of 2022, we no longer allocate interest expense on the OFC Senior Secured Notes to the Servicing and Originations segments. Interest expense allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments for prior
47



periods has been revised to conform to the current period presentation. The interest expense allocation adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $7.5 million ($7.3 million Servicing and $0.2 million Originations) and $14.9 million ($14.7 million Servicing and $0.2 million Originations), respectively.
As a result of our risk management strategy to hedge the interest rate risk of our net MSR portfolio, the fair value changes of third-party derivative instruments were reported within MSR valuation adjustments, net. For management segment reporting purposes, we established inter-segment derivative instruments to transfer the risks and allocate the associated fair value changes of derivatives between Servicing and Originations, and specifically between MSR valuation adjustments, net and Gain on loans held for sale, net (Gain/loss on economic hedge instruments). In the second quarter of 2021, we began separately hedging our MSR portfolio and pipeline. We may, from time to time, establish intersegment derivative instruments between our MSR and pipeline hedging strategies to optimize the use of third-party derivatives. The inter-segment derivative fair value changes are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements in the Corporate Eliminations column in the table below.

Note 20 – Regulatory Requirements
Our business is subject to extensive regulation and supervision by federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), HUD, the SEC and various state agencies that license and conduct examinations of our servicing and lending activities. In addition, we operate under a number of regulatory settlements that subject us to ongoing reporting and other obligations. From time to time, we also receive requests (including requests in the form of subpoenas and civil investigative demands) from federal, state and local agencies for records, documents and information relating to our servicing and lending activities. The GSEs (and their conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)), Ginnie Mae, the United States Treasury Department, various investors, non-Agency securitization trustees and others also subject us to periodic reviews and audits.
We must comply with a large number of federal, state and local consumer protection and other laws and regulations, including, among others, the CARES Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as well as individual state and local laws, and federal and local bankruptcy rules. These laws and regulations apply to all facets of our business, including, but not limited to, licensing, loan originations, consumer disclosures, default servicing and collections, foreclosure, filing of claims, registration of vacant or foreclosed properties, handling of escrow accounts, payment application, interest rate adjustments, assessment of fees, loss mitigation, use of credit reports, handling of unclaimed property, safeguarding of non-public personally identifiable information about our customers, and the ability of our employees to work remotely. These complex requirements can and do change as laws and regulations are enacted, promulgated, amended, interpreted and enforced, and the requirements applicable to our business have been changing especially rapidly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the actions of legislative bodies and regulatory agencies relating to a particular matter or business practice may or may not be coordinated or consistent. The general trend among federal, state and local legislative bodies and regulatory agencies as well as state attorneys general has been toward increasing laws, regulations, investigative proceedings and enforcement actions with regard to residential real estate lenders and servicers.
In addition, a number of foreign laws and regulations apply to our operations outside of the U.S., including laws and regulations that govern licensing, privacy, employment, safety, payroll and other taxes and insurance and laws and regulations that govern the creation, continuation and the winding up of companies as well as the relationships between shareholders, our corporate entities, the public and the government in these countries. Our foreign subsidiaries are subject to inquiries and examinations from foreign governmental regulators in the countries in which we operate outside of the U.S.
Our licensed entities are required to renew their licenses, typically on an annual basis, and to do so they must satisfy the license renewal requirements of each jurisdiction, which generally include financial requirements such as providing audited
51



financial statements and satisfying minimum net worth requirements and non-financial requirements such as satisfactory completion of examinations relating to the licensee’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We are also subject to seller/servicer obligations under agreements with the GSEs, HUD, FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae, including capital requirements related to tangible net worth, as defined by the applicable agency, an obligation to provide audited financial statements within 90 days of the applicable entity’s fiscal year end as well as extensive requirements regarding servicing, selling and other matters. We believe our licensed entities were in compliance with all of their minimum net worth requirements at September 30, 2022. Our non-Agency servicing agreements also contain requirements regarding servicing practices and other matters, and a failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business. The most restrictive of the various net worth requirements for licensing and seller/servicer obligations referenced above is based on the UPB of assets serviced by PMC. Under the applicable formula, the required minimum net worth was $364.9 million at September 30, 2022. PMC’s adjusted net worth was $678.7 million at September 30, 2022. The most restrictive of the various liquidity requirements for licensing and seller/servicer obligations referenced above pertains to PMC and was $40.3 million at September 30, 2022. PMC’s liquid assets were $205.3 million at September 30, 2022.
On August 17, 2022, the FHFA and Ginnie Mae announced updated minimum financial eligibility requirements for GSE seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae issuers. The updated minimum financial eligibility requirements modify the definitions of tangible net worth and eligible liquidity, modify their minimum standard measurement and include a new risk-based capital ratio, among other changes. On September 21, 2022, at the direction of the FHFA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced similar revisions to minimum financial eligibility requirements. The majority of the updated requirements are effective on September 30, 2023. On October 21, 2022, Ginnie Mae extended the compliance date for its risk-based capital requirements to December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating the potential impacts of these updated requirements.
New York Department of Financial Services (NY DFS). We operate pursuant to certain regulatory requirements with the NY DFS, including obligations arising under a consent order entered into in March 2017 (the NY Consent Order) and the terms of the NY DFS’ conditional approval in September 2018 of our acquisition of PHH. The conditional approval includes reporting obligations and record retention and other requirements relating to the transfer of loans collateralized by New York property (New York loans) onto our servicing system, the Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. (Black Knight) LoanSphere MSP® servicing system (Black Knight MSP), and certain requirements with respect to the evaluation and supervision of management of both Ocwen and PMC. In addition, we were prohibited from boarding any additional loans onto the REALServicing system and we were required to transfer all New York loans off the REALServicing system by April 30, 2020. The conditional approval also restricts our ability to acquire MSRs with respect to New York loans, so that Ocwen may not increase its aggregate portfolio of New York loans serviced or subserviced by Ocwen by more than 2% per year. This restriction will remain in place until the NY DFS determines that all loans serviced on the REALServicing system have been successfully migrated to Black Knight MSP and that Ocwen has developed a satisfactory infrastructure to board sizable portfolios of MSRs. We transferred all loans onto Black Knight MSP in 2019 and no longer service any loans on the REALServicing system. We believe we have complied with all terms of the PHH acquisition conditional approval to date. We continue to work with the NY DFS to address matters they raise with us as well as to fulfill our commitments under the NY Consent Order and PHH acquisition conditional approval.
California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (CA DFPI). In January 2015 and February 2017, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (OLS) entered into consent orders with the CA DFPI (formerly known as the California Department of Business Oversight) relating to our alleged failure to produce certain information and documents during a routine licensing examination and relating to alleged servicing practices. We have completed all of our obligations under each of these consent orders. We continue to work with the CA DFPI to address matters they raise with us, including regarding the post-boarding process to verify loan and payment terms are properly implemented, calculated, and applied.
Note 21 — Commitments
Unfunded Lending Commitments
We have originated floating-rate reverse mortgage loans under which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion at September 30, 2022. This additional borrowing capacity is available on a scheduled or unscheduled payment basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we funded $181.2 million out of the $1.5 billion borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2021. We also had short-term commitments to lend $1.3 billion and $19.2 million in connection with our forward and reverse mortgage loan IRLCs, respectively, outstanding at September 30, 2022. We finance originated and purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with repurchase and participation agreements, referred to as warehouse lines.
HMBS Issuer Obligations
As an HMBS issuer, we are required to purchase loans out of the Ginnie Mae securitization pools once the outstanding principal balance of a reverse mortgage loan is equal to or greater than 98% of the maximum claim amount (MCA repurchases),
52



or when they become inactive (the borrower is deceased, no longer occupies the property or is delinquent on tax and insurance payments). Our subservicing clients bear the financial obligation and risks associated with purchasing loans out of securitization pools within the portfolio we subservice.
Activity with regard to HMBS repurchases, primarily MCA repurchases, are as follows:

Rithm Relationship (formerly NRZ)
Our Servicing segment has exposure to concentration risk and client retention risk. As of September 30, 2022, our servicing portfolio included significant client relationships with Rithm which represented 18% and 28% of our total servicing portfolio UPB and loan count, respectively, and approximately 69% of all delinquent loans that Ocwen services. Our Subservicing Agreements and Servicing Addendum with Rithm are in their Second Terms that end December 31, 2023. At the end of the Second Term, subject to notice by October 1, 2023, Rithm has the right to terminate the Subservicing Agreements and Servicing Addendum for convenience. If Rithm exercised its right to terminate all or some of the agreements for convenience at the end of the Second Term on December 31, 2023, we might need to right-size certain aspects of our servicing business as well as the related corporate support functions. Receivables and Other liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as well as the impacts to our consolidated statements of operations in connection with our Rithm agreements are disclosed in Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting.
Note 22 – Contingencies
When we become aware of a matter involving uncertainty for which we may incur a loss, we assess the likelihood of any loss. If a loss contingency is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss. In such cases, there may be an exposure to potential loss in excess of the amount accrued. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If a reasonable estimate of loss cannot be made, we do not accrue for any loss or disclose any estimate of exposure to potential loss even if the potential loss could be material and adverse to our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. An assessment regarding the ultimate outcome of any such matter involves judgments about future events, actions and circumstances that are inherently uncertain. The actual outcome could differ materially. Where we have retained external legal counsel or other professional advisers, such advisers assist us in making such assessments.
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in, or a party or potential party to, many threatened and pending legal proceedings, including proceedings brought by borrowers, regulatory agencies (discussed further under “Regulatory” below), those brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, and those brought derivatively on behalf of Ocwen against certain current or former officers and directors or others, and those brought under the False Claims Act by private citizens on behalf of the U.S. In addition, we may be a party or potential party to threatened or pending legal proceedings brought by fair-housing advocates, current and former commercial counterparties and market competitors, including, among others, claims related to the sale or purchase of loans, MSRs or other assets, and breach of contract actions, parties on whose behalf we service or serviced mortgage loans, parties who provide ancillary services including property preservation and other post-foreclosure related services, and parties who provide or provided consulting, subservicing, or other services to Ocwen.
The majority of these proceedings are based on alleged violations of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our mortgage servicing and lending activities, including, among others, the Dodd-Frank Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the
53



FDCPA, the RESPA, the TILA, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the TCPA, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as well as individual state licensing and foreclosure laws, federal and local bankruptcy rules, federal and local tax regulations, and state deceptive trade practices laws. Such proceedings include wrongful foreclosure and eviction actions, bankruptcy violation actions, payment misapplication actions, allegations of wrongdoing in connection with lender-placed insurance and mortgage reinsurance arrangements, claims relating to our property preservation activities, claims related to REO management, claims relating to our written and telephonic communications with our borrowers such as claims under the TCPA and individual state laws, claims related to our payment, escrow and other processing operations, claims relating to fees imposed on borrowers relating to inspection fees, foreclosure attorneys’ fees, reinstatement fees, foreclosure registration fees, payment processing, payment facilitation or payment convenience fees, claims related to ancillary products marketed and sold to borrowers, claims related to loan modifications and loan assumptions, claims related to call recordings, claims regarding certifications of our legal compliance related to our participation in certain government programs, claims related to improper occupancy inspections, and claims related to untimely recording of mortgage satisfactions. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against us. For example, we are currently a defendant in various matters alleging that (1) certain fees imposed on borrowers relating to payment processing, payment facilitation or payment convenience violate the FDCPA and similar state laws, (2) certain fees we assess on borrowers are improperly assessed and/or marked up improperly in violation of applicable state and federal law, (3) we breached fiduciary duties we purportedly owe to benefit plans due to the discretion we exercise in servicing certain securitized mortgage loans, and (4) certain legacy mortgage reinsurance arrangements violated RESPA. In the future, we are likely to become subject to other private legal proceedings alleging failures to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including putative class actions, in the ordinary course of our business.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any threatened or pending legal proceedings, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, including punitive damages, or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, we generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of such proceedings will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution will be, or what the eventual loss, if any, will be. Any material adverse resolution could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Where we determine that a loss contingency is probable in connection with a pending or threatened legal proceeding and the amount of our loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss. We have accrued for losses relating to threatened and pending litigation that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable based on current information regarding these matters. Where we determine that a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that we will incur losses relating to threatened and pending litigation that materially exceed the amount accrued. Our accrual for probable and estimable legal and regulatory matters, including accrued legal fees, was $47.1 million at September 30, 2022. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible losses above amounts that have been recorded at September 30, 2022.
As previously disclosed, we are subject to individual lawsuits relating to our FDCPA compliance and putative state law class actions based on the FDCPA and similar state statutes. We are currently defending five class actions challenging, under state and federal law, our practice of charging borrowers a fee to use certain optional payment methods (Morris v. PHH Mortg. Corp., et al. (S.D. FL), Torliatt v. PHH Mortg. Corp., et al. (N.D. Ca), Thacker v. PHH Mortg. Corp., et al. (N.D. WV), Forest v. PHH Mortg. Corp., et al. (D. RI), and Williams v. PHH Mortg. Corp., et al. (S.D. TX). We have reached settlements in four of these class actions. In the Torliatt matter, the Court granted preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement and scheduled the final fairness hearing for November 16, 2022. In the Thacker class action, the Court granted preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement and scheduled the final fairness hearing for November 14, 2022. Finally, we have reached tentative agreements with the plaintiffs in both the Morris and Williams class actions and we are currently finalizing the settlement agreements in both matters before filing motions for preliminary approval.
In addition, we continue to be involved in legacy matters arising prior to Ocwen’s October 2018 acquisition of PHH, including a putative class action filed in 2008 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California against PHH and related entities alleging that PHH’s legacy mortgage reinsurance arrangements between its captive reinsurer, Atrium Insurance Corporation, and certain mortgage insurance providers violated RESPA. See Munoz v. PHH Mortgage Corp. et al. (Eastern District of California). In June 2015, the court certified a class of borrowers who obtained loans with private mortgage insurance through PHH’s captive reinsurance arrangement between June 2007 and December 2009. PHH asserted numerous defenses to the merits of the case. Following pre-trial developments in August 2020, the only issues remaining for trial were whether the plaintiffs had standing to bring their claims and whether the reinsurance services provided by PHH’s captive reinsurance subsidiary, Atrium, were actually provided in order for the safe harbor provision of RESPA to apply. On January 31, 2022, the Court denied a motion by the plaintiffs to enter new evidence and a motion by PHH to decertify the class, which motion PHH may renew if the case ultimately goes to trial. Following the entry of this order, at the request of the parties, the Court dismissed all of the plaintiffs’ claims for lack of standing and entered judgment in favor of PHH. The plaintiffs appealed
54



to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and that appeal is now fully briefed. Ocwen will continue to vigorously defend itself. Our current accrual with respect to this matter is included in the $47.1 million legal and regulatory accrual referenced above. At this time, Ocwen is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of such lawsuit. If our efforts to defend this lawsuit are not successful, our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The same plaintiffs who filed a TCPA class action against Ocwen subsequently filed a similar class action against trustees of RMBS trusts based on vicarious liability for Ocwen’s alleged non-compliance with the TCPA. This class action filed against the trustees has settled, and while the trustees previously have indicated their intent to seek indemnification from Ocwen based on the vicarious liability claims, they have yet to take any formal action. Additional lawsuits have been and may be filed against us in relation to our TCPA compliance. However, a recent Supreme Court decision significantly undercuts the predominant theory of liability under the TCPA, and should provide even greater defenses on which Ocwen can rely when defending existing lawsuits or any additional lawsuits that may be filed. Nevertheless, given the recency of this Supreme Court decision, and the lack of opportunity for lower courts to interpret and apply it, it remains difficult to predict the possible loss or range of loss, if any, above the amount accrued or the potential impact such lawsuits may have on us or our operations. Ocwen intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. If our efforts to defend these lawsuits are not successful, our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Ocwen is a defendant in a certified class action in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of California where the plaintiffs claim Ocwen marked up fees for property valuations and title searches in violation of California state law. See Weiner v. Ocwen Financial Corp., et al. In May 2020, the court ruled that plaintiff’s recoverable damages are limited to out-of-pocket costs, i.e., the amount of marked-up fees actually paid, rather than the entire cost of the valuation that plaintiffs sought. Following further pre-trial developments, on August 3, 2022, the Court entered an order granting our motion to decertify each of the three classes. On August 17, 2022, plaintiffs filed a petition for permission to appeal the decertification decision and a motion asking the trial court to reconsider its decertification decision, each of which we opposed and are pending a ruling. At this time, Ocwen is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or any additional lawsuits that may be filed, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of such lawsuits or the potential impact such lawsuits may have on us or our operations. Ocwen intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. If our efforts to defend this lawsuit are not successful, our business, financial condition liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Ocwen may have affirmative indemnification rights and/or other claims against third parties related to the allegations in the lawsuit. Although we may pursue these claims, we cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of recoveries from these third parties.
We are currently involved in a dispute with a former subservicing client, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (HSBC), which filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against PHH. See HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. PHH Mortgage Corp. (Supreme Court of the State of New York). HSBC’s claims relate to alleged breaches of agreements entered into under a prior subservicing arrangement and origination assistance agreement. In its complaint, HSBC also asserted a claim for fraud, which was dismissed by the Court. PHH has answered the complaint and has asserted counterclaims against HSBC for breach of contract. We believe we have strong factual and legal defenses to the remaining claims and are vigorously defending the action. Ocwen is currently unable to predict the outcome of this dispute or estimate the size of any loss which could result from a potential resolution reached through litigation or otherwise.
Over the past several years, lawsuits have been filed by RMBS trust investors alleging that the trustees and master servicers breached their contractual and statutory duties by (i) failing to require loan servicers to abide by their contractual obligations; (ii) failing to declare that certain alleged servicing events of default under the applicable contracts occurred; and (iii) failing to demand that loan sellers repurchase allegedly defective loans, among other things. Ocwen has received several letters from trustees and master servicers purporting to put Ocwen on notice that the trustees and master servicers may ultimately seek indemnification from Ocwen in connection with the litigations. Ocwen has not yet been impleaded into any of these cases, but it has produced and continues to produce documents to the parties in response to third-party subpoenas.
Ocwen has, however, been impleaded as a third-party defendant into five consolidated loan repurchase cases first filed against Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. in 2012 and 2013. Ocwen is vigorously defending itself in those cases against allegations by the mortgage loan seller-defendant that Ocwen failed to inform its contractual counterparties that it had discovered defective loans in the course of servicing them and had otherwise failed to service the loans in accordance with accepted standards. Ocwen is unable at this time to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these matters or any potential impact they may have on us or our operations. If, however, we were required to compensate claimants for losses related to the alleged loan servicing breaches, then our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, several RMBS trustees have received notices of events of default alleging material failures by servicers to comply with applicable servicing agreements. Although Ocwen has not been sued by an RMBS trustee in response to an event of default notice, there is a risk that Ocwen could be replaced as servicer as a result of said notices, that the trustees could take legal action on behalf of the trust certificate holders, or, under certain circumstances, that the RMBS investors who issue notices
55



of event of default could seek to press their allegations against Ocwen, independent of the trustees. We are unable at this time to predict what, if any, actions any trustee will take in response to an event of default notice, nor can we predict at this time the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any event of default notice or the potential impact on our operations. If Ocwen were to be terminated as servicer, or other related legal actions were pursued against Ocwen, it could have an adverse effect on Ocwen’s business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Regulatory
We are subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information and other actions. We may also on occasion be subject to foreign regulatory actions in the countries where we operate outside the U.S. Where we determine that a loss contingency is probable in connection with a regulatory matter and the amount of our loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss. Where we determine that a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that we will incur losses relating to regulatory matters that materially exceed any accrued amount. Our accrual for probable and estimable legal and regulatory matters, including accrued legal fees, was $47.1 million at September 30, 2022. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible losses above amounts that have been recorded at September 30, 2022. Predicting the outcome of any regulatory matter is inherently difficult and we generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of any regulatory matter or the eventual loss, if any, associated with the outcome.
To the extent that an examination, audit or other regulatory engagement results in an alleged failure by us to comply with applicable laws, regulations or licensing requirements, or if allegations are made that we have failed to comply with applicable laws, regulations or licensing requirements or the commitments we have made in connection with our regulatory settlements (whether such allegations are made through administrative actions such as cease and desist orders, through legal proceedings or otherwise) or if other regulatory actions of a similar or different nature are taken in the future against us, this could lead to (i) administrative fines and penalties and litigation, (ii) loss of our licenses and approvals to engage in our servicing and lending businesses, (iii) governmental investigations and enforcement actions, (iv) civil and criminal liability, including class action lawsuits and actions to recover incentive and other payments made by governmental entities, (v) breaches of covenants and representations under our servicing, debt or other agreements, (vi) damage to our reputation, (vii) inability to raise capital or otherwise fund our operations and (viii) inability to execute on our business strategy. Any of these occurrences could increase our operating expenses and reduce our revenues, hamper our ability to grow or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
CFPB
In April 2017, the CFPB filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen, Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, Inc. (OMS) and OLS alleging violations of federal consumer financial laws relating to our servicing business dating back to 2014. The CFPB’s claims include allegations regarding (1) the adequacy of Ocwen’s servicing system and integrity of Ocwen’s mortgage servicing data, (2) Ocwen’s foreclosure practices and (3) various purported servicer errors with respect to borrower escrow accounts, hazard insurance policies, timely cancellation of private mortgage insurance, handling of customer complaints, and marketing of optional products. The CFPB alleges violations of laws prohibiting unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, as well as violations of other laws or regulations. The CFPB does not claim specific monetary damages, although it does seek consumer relief, disgorgement of allegedly improper gains, and civil money penalties. The parties participated in mediation in October 2020 and subsequently held additional settlement discussions. However, the parties were unable to reach a resolution of the litigation.
On March 4, 2021, the court issued an order granting in part and reserving ruling in part on Ocwen’s motion for summary judgment. In that order, the court granted Ocwen summary judgment on 9 of 10 counts in the CFPB’s amended complaint, finding that the CFPB’s allegations were barred under the principles of claim preclusion or res judicata to the extent those claims are premised on servicing activity occurring prior to February 26, 2017 and are covered by a 2014 Consent Judgment entered by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The CFPB subsequently filed its Second Amended Complaint to remove count 10 as well as allegations in counts 1-9 concerning servicing activity that occurred after February 26, 2017. On April 21, 2021, the court entered final judgment in our favor, denied all pending motions as moot, and closed the case. The CFPB thereafter filed a notice of appeal. Appellate briefing concluded August 26, 2021, and oral argument before the Eleventh Circuit occurred on February 10, 2022. On April 6, 2022, the Eleventh Circuit issued its opinion, largely adopting the district court’s decision precluding the CFPB from bringing claims covered by the National Mortgage Settlement, but vacating and remanding the case back to the district court to determine which, if any, claims are not covered and may still be brought by the CFPB. Neither party sought rehearing of the Eleventh Circuit’s decision. Opening briefs were filed with the district court on September 1, 2022 and response briefs were filed on September 22, 2022. Ocwen will continue to vigorously defend itself.

Our current accrual with respect to this matter is included in the $47.1 million legal and regulatory accrual referenced above. The outcome of the matters raised by the CFPB, whether through negotiated settlements, court rulings or otherwise, could potentially involve monetary fines or penalties or additional restrictions on our business and could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
State Licensing, State Attorneys General and Other Matters
Our licensed entities are required to renew their licenses, typically on an annual basis, and to do so they must satisfy the license renewal requirements of each jurisdiction, which generally include financial requirements such as providing audited financial statements or satisfying minimum net worth requirements and non-financial requirements such as satisfactorily completing examinations as to the licensee’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to satisfy any of the requirements to which our licensed entities are subject could result in a variety of regulatory actions ranging from a fine, a directive requiring a certain step to be taken, entry into a consent order, a suspension or ultimately a revocation of a license, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we receive information requests and other inquiries, both formal and informal in nature, from our state financial regulators as part of their general regulatory oversight of our servicing and lending businesses, as well as from state attorneys general, the CFPB and other federal agencies, including the Department of Justice and various inspectors general. For example, we have received requests regarding the charging of certain fees to borrowers; the post-boarding process to verify loan and payment terms are properly implemented, calculated, and applied; bankruptcy practices; COVID-19-related forbearance and post-forbearance options; and Homeowner Assistance Fund participation and implementation. Many of our regulatory engagements arise from a complaint that the entity is investigating, although some are formal investigations or proceedings. The GSEs (and their conservator, FHFA), HUD, FHA, VA, Ginnie Mae, the United States Treasury Department, and others also subject us to periodic reviews and audits. We have in the past resolved, and may in the future resolve, matters via consent orders, payments of monetary amounts and other agreements in order to settle issues identified in connection with examinations or other oversight activities, and such resolutions could have material and adverse effects on our business, reputation, operations, results of operations and financial condition.
In April 2017 and shortly thereafter, mortgage and banking regulatory agencies from 29 states and the District of Columbia took administrative actions against OLS and certain other Ocwen companies that alleged deficiencies in our compliance with laws and regulations relating to our servicing and lending activities. We resolved the majority of these matters in 2017 and resolved the remaining matters in early 2018 An additional state regulator brought legal action together with that state’s attorney general, which we resolved in 2020. In resolving these matters, we entered into agreements that contained certain restrictions and commitments with respect to the operation of our business and our regulatory compliance activities, including certain restrictions and conditions relating to acquisitions of MSRs, a transition to an alternate loan servicing system from the REALServicing system, engagement of third-party auditors, escrow and data testing, error remediation, and financial condition reporting. We also provided certain borrower financial remediation and made payments to state regulators. We believe we have completed all material obligations under these agreements, although a few remaining reporting and other such obligations are ongoing.
On occasion, we engage with agencies of the federal government on various matters. For example, Ocwen was named as a defendant in a HUD administrative complaint filed by a non-profit organization in 2017 alleging discrimination in the manner in which Ocwen maintains REO properties in minority communities. In February 2018, this matter was administratively closed, and similar claims were filed in federal court. We believe these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves.
In 2017, Ocwen received a subpoena from the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program requesting documents and information related to Ocwen’s participation in the Treasury Department’s Making Home Affordable Program. Ocwen has also received subpoenas that appear to relate to federal government agency initiatives relating to our industry generally, since we understand other lenders and servicers have received similar subpoenas. These include subpoenas in 2016 and 2017 from the Office of Inspector General of HUD requesting documentation related to HECM loans and lender-placed insurance arrangements with a mortgage insurer and a 2019 subpoena from the VA Office of the Inspector General requesting documentation related to the origination and underwriting of loans guaranteed by the Veterans Benefits Administration. In each instance, we have provided documents and information in response to these subpoenas.
Loan Put-Back and Related Contingencies
We have exposure to representation, warranty and indemnification obligations relating to our Originations business, including lending, loan sales and securitization activities, and relating to our servicing practices. We do not provide or assume any origination representations and warranties in connection with our MSR purchases through MSR flow purchase agreements or Agency Cash Window programs.
57



At September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we had outstanding representation and warranty repurchase demands of $53.3 million UPB (280 loans) and $59.6 million UPB (301 loans), respectively. We review each demand and monitor through resolution, primarily through rescission, loan repurchase or make-whole payment.
The following table presents the changes in our liability for representation and warranty obligations and similar indemnification obligations:
Nine Months Ended September 30,

Ending balance (1)$50,798 $42,554 
(1)The liability for representation and warranty obligations and compensatory fees for foreclosures is reported in Other liabilities (a component of Liability for indemnification obligations) on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Includes principal and interest losses realized in connection with repurchased loans, make-whole, indemnification and fee payments and settlements net of recoveries, if any.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that losses beyond amounts currently recorded for potential representation and warranty obligations and other claims described above could occur, and such losses could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, based on currently available information, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses above amounts that have been recorded at September 30, 2022.
Other
Ocwen, on its own behalf and on behalf of various mortgage loan investors, is engaged in a variety of activities to seek payments from mortgage insurers for unpaid claims, including claims where the mortgage insurers paid less than the full claim amount. Ocwen believes that many of the actions by mortgage insurers were in violation of the applicable insurance policies and insurance law. In some cases, Ocwen has entered into tolling agreements, initiated arbitration or litigation, engaged in settlement discussions, or taken other similar actions. To date, Ocwen has settled with five mortgage insurers, and expects the ultimate outcome to result in recovery of additional unpaid claims, although we cannot quantify the likely amount at this time.
We may, from time to time, have affirmative indemnification and other claims against service providers, parties from whom we purchased MSRs or other assets, investors or other parties. Although we pursue these claims, we cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of further recoveries. Similarly, from time to time, indemnification and other claims are made against us by parties to whom we sold MSRs or other assets or by parties on whose behalf we service mortgage loans. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss above amounts recorded.
Note 23 – Subsequent Events
During October 2022, we completed the repurchase of 344,246 shares of our common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices for a total purchase price of $9.0 million and at an average price paid per share of $26.13. These shares were repurchased under the $50.0 million program authorized by Ocwen’s Board of Directors in May 2022. See Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
On November 2, 2022, Ocwen and Oaktree entered into an agreement modifying certain terms relating to the capitalization, management and operations of the MSR joint venture, MAV Canopy. Under the terms of the agreement, Ocwen and Oaktree agreed to increase the aggregate capital contributions to MAV Canopy by up to an additional $250 million through May 2, 2024, subject to extension. Ocwen may elect to contribute its 15% pro rata share of the additional capital commitment. To the extent Ocwen does not contribute its pro rata share of the additional capital commitment, the ownership percentages held by Ocwen and Oaktree will be adjusted based on the parties’ current percentage interests, capital contributions and book value. In connection with the increased commitment, the parties agreed to reduce Ocwen’s Promote Distribution. Also refer to Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)

OVERVIEW
General
We are a leading non-bank mortgage servicer and originator providing solutions through our primary brands, PHH Mortgage and Liberty Reverse Mortgage. PHH Mortgage is one of the largest servicers in the country, focused on delivering a variety of servicing and lending programs. Liberty is one of the nation’s largest reverse mortgage lenders dedicated to education and providing loans that help customers meet their personal and financial needs. We serviced 1.4 million loans with a total UPB of $283.3 billion on behalf of more than 3,800 investors and 95 subservicing clients as of September 30, 2022. We service all mortgage loan classes, including conventional, government-insured, non-Agency, small-balance commercial and multi-family loans. Our originations business is part of our balanced business model to generate gains on loan sales and profitable returns, and to support the replenishment and the growth of our servicing portfolio. Through our retail, correspondent and wholesale channels, we originate and purchase conventional and government-insured forward and reverse mortgage loans that we sell or securitize on a servicing retained basis. In addition, we grow our mortgage servicing volume through MSR flow purchase agreements, Agency Cash Window programs, bulk MSR purchase transactions, and subservicing agreements.
The table below summarizes the volume of Originations by channel, in the third quarter of 2022, compared with the preceding quarter, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The volume of Originations is a key driver of the profitability of our Originations segment, together with margins, and a key driver of the replenishment and growth of our Servicing segment.

(1)Represents the UPB of loans that have been originated or purchased (funded UPB) during the respective periods and for which we recognize a new MSR on our consolidated balance sheets upon sale or securitization.
(2)Represents the UPB of loans for which the MSR is purchased. Bulk purchases include 12,931 loans with a UPB of $4.1 billion for which PMC was previously performing the subservicing that were purchased from third parties during the third quarter of 2022.
(3)Represents the UPB of reverse mortgage loans that have been securitized on a servicing retained basis. The loans are recognized on our consolidated balance sheets under GAAP without any separate recognition of MSRs.
(4)Includes interim subservicing, including the volume of UPB associated with short-term interim subservicing for certain clients as a support to their originate-to-sell business, with $2.5 billion and $5.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and $10.7 billion and $12.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
In addition to interim subservicing, subservicing additions for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 in the table above include reverse mortgage loan subservicing and new subservicing on behalf of MAV. On October 1, 2021, in connection with the transaction with MAM (RMS), PMC became the subservicer for approximately 57,000 reverse mortgages, or approximately $14.3 billion in UPB pursuant to subservicing agreements with various clients, including MAM (RMS). Under the five-year subservicing agreement with MAM (RMS), we added subservicing of approximately 40,000
59



reverse mortgage loans or approximately $9.1 billion in UPB in the first quarter of 2022, and approximately 19,000 reverse mortgage loans with a UPB of $4.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2021, we launched our joint venture MSR investment with Oaktree with MAV. MAV purchased approximately $2.5 billion and $8.5 billion GSE MSRs from unrelated third parties that PMC began subservicing in the third quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2022, respectively.
The following table summarizes the average volume of our Servicing segment during the third quarter of 2022, compared with the preceding quarter, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The average volume of Servicing is a key driver of the profitability of our Servicing segment. The relative weight of performing and delinquent loans or servicing and subservicing also drive the gross revenue and expenses, and their timing. In the third quarter of 2022, our total average servicing portfolio decreased by $3.2 billion as compared to the second quarter of 2022, mostly due to reductions in our forward interim subservicing portfolio and the portfolio runoff, offset by MSR acquisitions by MAV.

Business Initiatives
We have established the following key operating objectives to return to sustainable profitability and drive improved value for shareholders in 2022:
Leveraging the core strengths of our balanced and diversified business model through a continued focus on servicing as well as sizing originations to the market environment and maintaining agility to address a potential recession;
Driving prudent growth adapted for the environment, including emphasis on subservicing to drive servicing portfolio UPB growth and expansion of higher margin originations products and clients;
Reducing cost structure across the organization to achieve industry cost leadership by maintaining continuous cost improvement discipline and optimizing technology, global operations, and scale;
Optimizing liquidity, diversifying capital sources and repositioning for higher rates; and
Allocating capital to deliver value for shareholders, including leveraging our MSR asset vehicle with Oaktree and expanding multi-investor partnership model to fund new MSR originations.
60



In the first nine months of 2022, market interest rates rose faster and higher than the industry consensus, significantly reducing the production volumes and margins of our Consumer Direct channel and adversely affecting Originations profitability. To achieve our profitability goals for 2022, we have responded to the market shift by rapidly scaling down our Consumer Direct operations in 2022 and we expect to continue to reduce our expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022. We are also accelerating our goals relating to business process rationalization and optimization, including further off-shoring of operations, enterprise-wide.
Our growth strategy includes acquiring assets and/or operations of complementary businesses, by means of acquisition, merger or other transaction forms. Our strategy may also include pursuing large transactions, including bulk purchases or sales of MSRs. We have engaged in such transactions in the past, and we continue to explore opportunities that may be accretive to our business and stockholders’ value.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Refer to Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further detail.
Total segment revenue was $251.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, $29.4 million or 13% higher than the three months ended June 30, 2022, driven by a $27.4 million revenue increase from Servicing and a $2.0 million revenue increase from Originations. The Servicing revenue increase is mostly due to a $15.4 million improvement in Reverse mortgage revenue, net driven by lower unrealized fair value losses on the HECM loan portfolio, and an $8.8 million loss recognized in the second quarter of 2022 on the repurchase of delinquent loans in connection with the Ginnie Mae EBO program. The increase in Originations revenue is mostly due to an $8.2 million increase in Gain on loans held for sale, net due to due to higher volumes and margins in the forward Correspondent channel, offset in part by a $5.9 million decrease in reverse mortgage originations revenue, net driven by lower loan production volume in all three channels and lower margin in our retail channel resulting from unfavorable market interest rate and spread conditions.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $62.9 million or 8% lower, due to a $60.8 million decrease in Originations revenue and a $2.6 million decline in Servicing revenue. The decrease in Originations revenue is primarily due to a $54.2 million decrease in Gain on loans held for sale, net in our Consumer Direct channel driven by a decline in margin and lower recapture volume in the context of rising interest rates at a historic pace during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decline in Servicing revenue includes a $53.2 million decline in Gain on loans held for sale, net due to lower redelivery gains and losses on repurchased and sold delinquent loans in connection with the Ginnie Mae EBO program and $22.5 million gain recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the exercise of our servicer call rights of certain Non-Agency trusts, a $34.0 million decline in Reverse mortgage revenue, net due to higher unrealized fair value losses on the HECM loan portfolio, net attributable to lower margins resulting from continued increase in interest rates and the widening of yield spreads, largely offset by an $84.8 million increase in Servicing and subservicing fees due to the portfolio growth, the launch of MAV and the acquisition of reverse subservicing from MAM (RMS).

We reported a $95.2 million gain in MSR valuation adjustments, net in the three months ended September 30, 2022, $62.0 million higher than the three months ended June 30, 2022. The net gain is driven by favorable MSR fair value changes due to rising interest rates, net of hedging. The increase in the net gain in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 is mostly driven by a higher increase in rates during the respective periods. The 10-year swap rate increased by 81 basis points in the third quarter of 2022 and 65 basis points in the second quarter of 2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported a $191.0 million gain in MSR valuation adjustments, net, as compared to a $57.6 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is mostly due to MSR portfolio runoff and a lower MSR fair value gain due to interest rate and assumption updates, net of hedging. The higher net fair value gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is mostly driven by a higher increase in rates during the respective periods. The 10-year swap rate increased by 228 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 58 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
See the respective Segment Results of Operations sections for additional information.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $12.6 million, or 15%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a 6% headcount reduction and incentive compensation reduction. Specifically, the decline is due to a $7.2 million decrease in incentive compensation, a $5.6 million decrease in salaries and benefits and a $2.0 million decline in commissions, partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in severance expense. The decrease in incentive compensation expense is the result of a $3.8 million decrease in estimated annual incentive plan award for 2022 and the reduction in headcount, and a $3.4 million decrease in expense for cash-settled share-based awards due to our common stock price decline during the third quarter of 2022. Salaries and benefits expense declined 10%, due to the 6% overall headcount reduction, predominantly in the U.S. Headcount reduction is driven by a 25% decrease in Originations, mostly Consumer Direct, and an 11% decrease in Corporate functions, as part of our continued efforts to right size our resources to market opportunities and our continuous improvement initiatives.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Compensation and benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $13.8 million, or 7% largely due to a $16.4 million increase in salaries and benefits primarily due to an 11% increase in total average headcount, mostly attributed to a 19% increase in Servicing headcount to support the development of our reverse mortgage subservicing platform and the MAM (RMS) subservicing portfolio acquisition. In addition, severance expense increased $9.9 million predominantly due to headcount reductions in forward Originations and Corporate functions in the second and third quarters of 2022, as well as a U.S. headcount reduction in Servicing in the third quarter of 2022. These increases in expense were partially offset by a $10.5 million decline in expense for cash-settled share-based awards as a result of a decrease in our common stock price and a reduction in expense due to forfeitures recognized in the first quarter of 2022, a $1.9 million decline in estimated annual incentive plan award and $1.2 million decrease driven by lower employee retention expenses.

Servicing and Origination Expense
Servicing and origination expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 remained flat as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in provision for indemnification related to our Servicing business, offset by a $1.6 million decrease in satisfaction and interest on payoff expense due to lower payoffs, and a $1.3 million decrease in loan origination expense, primarily due to a decrease in production volume in our Consumer Direct and Reverse channels.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Servicing and origination expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $29.7 million, or 36%, mostly attributed to the Servicing segment. The decline is primarily due to a $13.5 million decrease in satisfaction and interest on payoff expense attributable to lower payoff volume, an $8.7 million decrease in reverse subservicing expenses with the transfer of a subservicer to our reverse servicing platform beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, a $4.5 million reduction in interim subservicing costs incurred on bulk acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a $1.7 million decline in provision expense on government-insured claims receivables primarily due to decreased claim volumes, and a $1.1 million net decrease in provision for indemnification related to our Servicing business driven by favorable settlements.
See Segment Results of Operations - Servicing for additional information.
Other Operating Expenses
Professional services expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $8.5 million, or 98%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Reimbursements received in the third quarter of 2022 from mortgage loan investors related to prior year legal expenses and payments received following resolution of legacy litigation matters were $6.8 million lower than the second quarter of 2022, and expenses related to other legal matters increased $2.8 million as compared to the second quarter. These increases were partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in other professional fees.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Professional services expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $23.2 million, or 38%, primarily due to a decline in legal expenses as other professional fees remained flat. The decline in legal expenses is largely due to reimbursements received from mortgage loan investors related to prior year legal expenses, and to payments received following resolution of legacy litigation matters.
Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.7 million, or 28%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to repairs required in connection with our exit of our New Jersey leased office facility. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Occupancy and equipment expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $6.4 million, or 25%, largely driven by a $3.4 million increase in postage and mailing expenses associated with an increased average number of loans serviced and the acquisition of reverse mortgage subservicing, and the $2.9 million facility repair obligation described above.
Technology and communication expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 remained flat as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Technology and communication expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.9 million, or 7%, largely driven by higher fees related to our forward loan servicing system due to the increase in the average number of loans serviced.
Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily driven by a reduction in bank changes due to higher earnings credits as a result of the increase in interest rates. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $7.8 million mainly due to a $2.7 million increase in advertising expense in our Reverse Originations business, $3.3 million of amortization expense on the reverse subservicing contract intangible asset recognized in October 2021 and April 2022, and a $3.3 million increase in miscellaneous other expenses, including travel and licensing expenses. These increases were offset by a $2.0 million decline in bank charges due to due to higher earnings credits as a result of higher interest rates.
Other Income (Loss)
Interest income increased $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily attributable to higher forward loan production volumes in Originations and increasing interest rates. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $14.6 million, primarily due to higher forward loan production volumes in Originations and increasing interest rates, as well as higher average balances of loans held for sale in our Servicing segment.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $12.5 million, or 33%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to a $108.4 million increase in average debt balance on our asset backed financing, primarily driven by the same factors described above, specifically higher origination production volume and an average 137 bps higher cost of funds following an increase in underlying reference interest rates.
65



As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $23.5 million, or 23%, primarily due to higher cost of corporate debt that is mostly related to the OFC senior secured notes issued on March 4, 2021 and May 3, 2021. The notes were issued to Oaktree together with warrants that resulted in an additional discount, the accretion of which is reported as interest expense, a $364.2 million or 13% higher average debt balance on our asset backed financing, primarily to finance our higher loan production volumes and MSR portfolio growth, and an increase in cost of funds of our asset backed financing, primarily driven by increased underlying reference interest rates.
See Segment Results of Operations - Servicing for information regarding Pledged MSR liability expense.
Gain on debt extinguishment of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted from our repurchase of $25.0 million PMC 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due March 2026 at a discount during the second quarter of 2022. Loss on debt extinguishment of $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was recognized in the first quarter of 2021 and resulted from our early repayment of the SSTL due May 2022, PHH 6.375% senior unsecured notes due August 2021, and PMC 8.375% senior secured notes due November 2022.
Earnings of equity method investee represent our 15% share of MAV Canopy from May 3, 2021. The $19.3 million earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are predominantly driven by the fair value gains recorded by MAV Canopy on its MSR portfolio due to rising interest rates. See Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions for further detail.
Other, net expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $1.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to $3.3 million expense in connection with our new ESS financing liability. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Other, net expense increased $15.5 million, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to $4.6 million deal call revenue recorded in 2021, $3.3 million loss on MSR recaptured and delivered to MAV for zero cash proceeds (offset by a corresponding amount recorded within Gain on loans held for sale, net), $3.3 million expense recognized in connection with the ESS financing transaction, $2.3 million early payout protection in connection with our MSR sales, and $1.8 million increase in loss adjustment expense related to our CRL reinsurance business due to higher claims.

Our effective tax rate for the periods indicated in the table above differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the full valuation allowance recorded on our net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We conduct periodic evaluations of positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset can be realized in future periods. In these evaluations, Ocwen considers its sources of future taxable income as the deferred tax assets represent future tax deductions. Taxable income of the appropriate character, within the appropriate time frame, is necessary for the realization of deferred tax assets. While Ocwen generates positive income before income taxes, the U.S. filing jurisdiction is in a cumulative loss position for the three-year period ended September 30, 2022. We recognize that cumulative losses in recent years is an objective form of negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance and that such negative evidence is difficult to overcome. We evaluated all positive and negative evidence and determined that a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2022 remains appropriate. The income tax expense (benefit) is primarily comprised of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions and changes in uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 21 - Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for further details on deferred tax assets.
The $4.0 million income tax benefit recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2022 was driven primarily by our recognition of $3.5 million of income tax benefit related to the favorable resolution of an uncertain tax position, as well as a decrease in the projected annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date pre-tax earnings. The income tax benefit recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by a decrease in the projected annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date to pre-tax earnings.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, income tax benefit of $1.6 million was driven by projected income tax expense related to pre-tax earnings, offset by income tax benefit related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions. As compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021, income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30,
66



2022 declined $18.5 million primarily due to higher pre-tax earnings, a $12.8 million reduction in the amount of income tax benefit recognized under the CARES Act, and a $ 3.6 million reduction in the amount of income tax benefit related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions. The decline in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the $104.0 million increase in pre-tax earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as well as the reduction in income tax benefit recognized under the CARES Act and a reduction in income tax benefit related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions.
Under our transfer pricing agreements, our operations in India and Philippines are compensated on a cost-plus basis for the services they provide, such that even when we have a consolidated pre-tax loss from operations these foreign operations have taxable income, which is subject to statutory tax rates in these jurisdictions that are higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%.

Total assets increased $212.9 million, or 2%, between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 due to a $464.1 million increase in our MSR portfolio mostly attributed to fair value gains due to rising interest rates and additions through purchases and retained servicing on loan sales, partially offset by a sale of MSRs to an unrelated third party, and a $194.6 million increase in Loans held for investment, mostly driven by our reverse mortgage origination and bulk acquisition. These increases were offset by a $198.9 million decline in our loans held for sale portfolio driven by lower forward loan production volumes than sales, a $130.9 million decrease in other assets mostly attributable to the decrease in contingent repurchase rights related to delinquent loans that have been repurchased under the Ginnie Mae EBO program, and a $130.0 million decline in servicing advances, mainly due to seasonal reduction of escrow balances, increased recoveries on delinquent and default loans, and loan repurchases under the Ginnie Mae EBO program.
Total liabilities increased by $143.6 million, or 1%, as compared to December 31, 2021, with similar effects as described above. Our HMBS-related borrowings increased by $323.4 million due to the continued growth of our reverse mortgage business and its securitization. The $184.8 million increase in Other financing liabilities is primarily due to additional transfers of MSRs to MAV in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 which did not qualify for sale accounting and related fair value changes, and the new $36.2 million ESS financing liability. Borrowings under our MSR financing facilities increased $119.8 million to fund the increase in our MSR portfolio. Our borrowings under warehouse lines declined $265.5 million due to lower loan production volumes. Advance match funded liabilities decreased $54.8 million consistent with the decline in Servicing advances. Senior notes, net decreased $17.7 million mostly due to our repurchase of $25.0 million PMC 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due March 2026 in the second quarter of 2022. Other liabilities declined $146.4 million mostly due to a decrease in the Ginnie Mae contingent repurchase rights of delinquent loans.
Total equity increased $69.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 mostly due to $105.4 million net income, partially offset by $38.7 million stock repurchased under the $50.0 million repurchase program approved in May 2022. See Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
Key Trends
The following discussion provides information regarding certain key drivers of our financial performance. Also refer to the Segment results of operations section for further detail, the description of our business environment, initiatives and risks.
Servicing and subservicing fee revenue - Our servicing fee revenue is a function of the volume being serviced - UPB for servicing fees and loan count for subservicing fees. We expect we will continue to replenish and grow our servicing portfolio through our multi-channel Originations platform and through MAV and other capital partners for the remainder of 2022. In addition, we continuously evaluate the relative mix between servicing and subservicing volume.
Gain on sale of loans held for sale - Our gain on sale is driven by both volume and margin and is channel-sensitive. Origination volume is negatively impacted by rising interest rates, high inflation and home price appreciation due to limited housing supply, among other recent market conditions. We expect volumes in our Consumer Direct channel to remain at depressed levels absent any significant interest rate decrease and expect lower margins due to heightened competition. We expect to continue to prudently manage our Correspondent volume at margins that are accretive to the business.
Reverse mortgage revenue, net - The reverse mortgage origination gain is driven by the same factors as gain on sale of loans held for sale, with smaller volumes in the reverse mortgage market and generally larger margins. With our experience and brand in the marketplace, we expect to continue to maintain or prudently grow our volumes albeit with some channel mix changes. We expect total origination market volume to decline with rising interest rates and increased volatility, and a downward trend in our margins due to continued uncertain market interest rate and spread conditions. The fair value of the net reverse servicing asset is expected to continue to follow market conditions, and is part of our forward MSR hedging strategy.
MSR valuation adjustments, net - Our net MSR fair value changes include multiple components. First, amortization of our investment is a function of the UPB, capitalized value of the MSR relative to the UPB, and the level of scheduled payments and prepayments. We expect the MSR realization of cash flows to increase as we continue to grow our MSR portfolio. Second, MSR fair value changes are driven by changes in interest rates and assumptions, such as forecasted prepayments. Third, the MSR fair value changes are partially offset by derivative fair value changes that economically hedge the MSR portfolio. We are exposed to increased interest rate volatility due to our interest rate sensitive GSE MSR portfolio. Our hedging strategy provides only partial hedge coverage and we would expect net MSR fair value losses if interest rates drop and conversely, net MSR fair value gains if interest rates rise. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for further detail.
Operating expenses - Compensation and benefits are a significant component of our cost-to-service and cost-to-originate and is directly correlated to headcount levels. Headcount in Servicing is primarily driven by the number of loans or UPB being serviced and subserviced, and by the relative mix of performing, delinquent and defaulted loans. As servicing volume is expected to modestly increase (see above), we expect a modest increase in our workforce with partial offset from an increased relative share of performing loans. We expect to continue to right size and prudently manage our Originations headcount and
68



operating expenses to align with funded volume. Other operating expenses are expected to correlate with volumes, with some productivity and efficiencies expected through our technology and continuous improvement initiatives. A continuing rise in inflation may result in higher operating expenses due to increases in salaries and benefits and rates charged by our vendors.
Stockholders’ equity - With the above considerations and uncertainties, we expect our businesses to generate net income and increase our equity, absent any significant adverse change in interest rates and if we continue to be successful in our business initiatives.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our activities are organized into two reportable business segments that reflect our primary lines of business - Servicing and Originations - as well as a Corporate Items and Other segment.

SERVICING
We earn contractual monthly servicing fees pursuant to servicing agreements pertaining to MSRs we own, which are typically payable as a percentage of UPB, as well as ancillary fees, including late fees, modification incentive fees, REO referral commissions, float earnings and convenience or other loan collection fees, where permitted. We also earn fees under both subservicing and special servicing arrangements with banks and other institutions, including MAV, that own the MSRs. Subservicing and special servicing fees are earned either as a percentage of UPB or on a per-loan basis. Subservicing per-loan fees typically vary based on type of investor and on loan delinquency status.
As of September 30, 2022, we serviced 1.4 million mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $283.3 billion. The average UPB of loans serviced during the third quarter of 2022 decreased by 1% or $3.2 billion compared to the second quarter of 2022, mostly driven by reductions in our forward subservicing portfolio and runoff, offset by owned MSR acquisitions and MAV acquisitions. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the average UPB of loans serviced during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 31% or $66.7 billion mostly due to MSR acquisitions, forward and reverse subservicing additions and MSR originations, offset in part by portfolio runoff. We manage the size of our servicing portfolio with our Originations business and by selectively purchasing MSRs based on capital allocation and financial return targets.
In May 2021, PMC entered into a subservicing agreement with MAV for exclusive rights to service the mortgage loans underlying MSRs owned by MAV. MAV provides us with a source of additional subservicing volume, either with the MSRs that MAV purchases outright from third parties or with the MSRs that MAV purchases from PMC but the transactions do not achieve sale accounting. In November 2022, we upsized MAV Canopy capacity with an additional $250 million capital commitment with Oaktree. Refer to Note 23 – Subsequent Events.
In addition, in October 2021, PMC acquired reverse mortgage subservicing contracts from MAM (RMS) and became its exclusive subservicer under a five-year subservicing agreement. PMC boarded approximately 40,000 and 19,000 additional reverse mortgage loans onto our servicing platform in the first quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2022, respectively.
Rithm (formerly NRZ) remains our largest subservicing client, accounting for 18% and 28% of the total serviced UPB and loan count, respectively, in our servicing portfolio as of September 30, 2022. Rithm servicing fees retained by Ocwen represented approximately 10% of the total servicing and subservicing fees earned by Ocwen, net of servicing fees remitted to Rithm, for the third quarter of 2022. and 12% the second quarter of 2022. This compares to 11% and 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Rithm’s portfolio represents approximately 69% of all delinquent loans that Ocwen serviced, for which the cost to service and the associated risks are higher. Consistent with a subservicing relationship, Rithm is responsible for funding the advances we service for Rithm.
The financial performance of our servicing segment is impacted by the changes in fair value of the MSR portfolio due to changes in market interest rates, among other factors. Our MSR portfolio is carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings within MSR valuation adjustments, net. The fair value of our MSRs is typically correlated to changes in market interest rates; as interest rates decrease, the value of the servicing portfolio typically decreases as a result of higher anticipated prepayment speeds, and the reverse is true. The sensitivity of MSR fair value to interest rates is typically higher for higher credit quality loans, such as our Agency loans. Our Non-Agency portfolio is significantly seasoned, with an average loan age of approximately 17 years, exhibiting little response to movements in market interest rates. Our hedging strategy is designed to reduce the volatility of the MSR portfolio to interest rates.
For those MSR sale transactions with Rithm and MAV that do not achieve sale accounting treatment, we present on a gross basis the transferred MSR as an asset at fair value and the corresponding liability amount as a pledged MSR liability at fair value on our balance sheet. The changes in fair value of the MSR are reflected as MSR valuation adjustments, net and the
69



corresponding changes in fair value of the pledged MSR liability are reported within Pledged MSR liability expense. Similarly, we present on a gross basis the total servicing fees collected on behalf of Rithm and MAV within Servicing and subservicing fees, net and the total servicing fee remittance to Rithm and MAV within Pledged MSR liability expense.
As of September 30, 2022, we managed 18,063 loans under forbearance associated with borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (or 1.3% of our total portfolio), 3,872 of which related to our owned MSRs, or 0.6% of our owned MSR servicing portfolio (excluding Rithm and MAV), a reduction of 37% and 43%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2021.
Loan Resolutions
We have a strong track record of success as a leader in the servicing industry in foreclosure prevention and loss mitigation that helps homeowners stay in their homes and improves financial outcomes for mortgage loan investors. Reducing delinquencies also enables us to recover advances and recognize additional ancillary income, such as late fees, which we do not recognize on delinquent loans until they are brought current. Loan resolution activities address the pipeline of delinquent loans and generally lead to (i) modification of the loan terms, (ii) repayment plan alternatives, (iii) a discounted payoff of the loan (e.g., a “short sale”), or (iv) foreclosure or deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure and sale of the resulting REO. Loan modifications must be made in accordance with the applicable servicing agreement as such agreements may require approvals or impose restrictions upon, or even forbid, loan modifications. To select an appropriate loan modification option for a borrower, we perform a structured analysis, using a proprietary model, of all options using information provided by the borrower as well as external data, including recent broker price opinions to value the mortgaged property. Our proprietary model includes, among other things, an assessment of re-default risk.
Our future financial performance will be less impacted by loan resolutions because, under our Rithm agreements, Rithm receives all deferred servicing fees. Deferred servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments were $132.3 million at September 30, 2022, of which $107.6 million were attributable to Rithm agreements.
Advance Obligation
As a servicer, we are generally obligated to advance funds in the event borrowers are delinquent on their monthly mortgage related payments. We advance principal and interest (P&I Advances), taxes and insurance (T&I Advances) and legal fees, property valuation fees, property inspection fees, maintenance costs and preservation costs on properties that have been foreclosed (Corporate Advances). For certain loans in non-Agency securitization trusts, we have the ability to cease making P&I advances and immediately recover advances previously made from the general collections of the respective trust if we determine that our P&I advances cannot be recovered from the projected future cash flows. With T&I and Corporate advances, we continue to advance if net future cash flows exceed projected future advances without regard to advances already made.
Most of our advances have the highest reimbursement priority (i.e., they are “top of the waterfall”) so that we are entitled to repayment from respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds before any interest or principal is paid on the bonds that were issued by the trust. In the majority of cases, advances in excess of respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds may be recovered from pool-level proceeds. The costs incurred in meeting these obligations consist principally of the interest expense incurred in financing the servicing advances. Most subservicing agreements, including our agreements with Rithm, provide for prompt reimbursement of any advances from the owner of the servicing rights.
Third-Party Servicer Ratings
Like other servicers, we are the subject of mortgage servicer ratings or rankings (collectively, ratings) issued and revised from time to time by rating agencies including Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Favorable ratings from these agencies are important to the conduct of our loan servicing and lending businesses.

In addition to servicer ratings, each of the agencies will from time to time assign an outlook (or a ratings watch such as Moody’s review status) to the rating status of a mortgage servicer. A negative outlook is generally used to indicate that a rating “may be lowered,” while a positive outlook is generally used to indicate a rating “may be raised. On September 28, 2021, Moody’s upgraded the servicer quality (SQ) assessment for PMC as a master servicer of residential mortgage loans from SQ3 to SQ3+, reflecting solid reporting and remitting processes and proactive servicer oversight. On June 29, 2021, S&P affirmed PMC’s servicer rating as Average, raising management and organization ranking to Above Average. In addition, S&P raised PMC’s master servicer rating from Average to Above Average reflecting the industry experience of PMC’s management, multiple levels of internal controls to monitor operations, and resolution of regulatory actions, among other factors mentioned by S&P. On August 2, 2022, Fitch affirmed and upgraded PMC’s servicer ratings and upgraded its outlook from Stable to Positive for prime and subprime products. The ratings for the other products remain the same and the related rating outlook remains Stable. The ratings reflect PMC’s strong post-pandemic performance, effective enterprise-wide risk environment and compliance management framework, competitive loan servicing performance metrics, and highly automated technology environment. The ratings also consider the financial condition of PMC’s parent, Ocwen Financial Corporation. The upgrades and positive outlook on PMC’s prime and subprime servicer ratings are reflective of the company’s continued portfolio growth, diversified sourcing strategies and improved performance with respect to these loan types, which represent 85% of the total servicing portfolio.
On May 27, 2022, S&P assigned an Above Average ranking to PMC as a residential reverse mortgage loan servicer. The ranking outlook is Stable. This is the initial rating for PMC as a reverse mortgage loan servicer. S&P’s ranking reflects i) PMC’s highly experienced management teams and staff with sound overall levels of turnover, ii) well-designed information technology infrastructure, cybersecurity controls, and business continuity and disaster recovery processes, iii) sound internal control environment, with multiple lines of defense and automated systems to support each function, iv) lack of material internal or external audit findings noted, based on provided reports, v) good focus on systems and workflow automation throughout loan administration processes, vi) robust default management function and claims processes, vii) scale as one of the largest reverse mortgage servicer’s in the country, with highly experienced management and staff and technology largely from prior established legacy reverse servicers; ix) and good overall reverse servicing performance metrics, except for the elevated home retention department management and staff turnover rates and call center metrics in the contact center operations.

The $0.5 million increase in total servicing and subservicing fees for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily driven by the increase in our average owned servicing portfolio partially offset by the decrease in our average forward subservicing and Rithm portfolios, as further discussed below.
The $84.8 million, or 15% increase in total servicing and subservicing fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily driven by our successful volume growth strategy, selectively balanced between servicing and subservicing, and the gradual replacement of the Rithm volumes with new relationships and volumes sourced by our Originations business.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, servicing and subservicing fees were flat. The $2.4 million, or 3% increase in servicing fee income on our owned MSRs is due to a 3% increase in our average UPB serviced, primarily driven by MSR originations and acquisitions partially offset by runoff, and the $0.5 million increase in MAV servicing fees due to our ongoing use of MAV to grow our servicing volume. These increases were offset by a $1.5 million, or 7% decrease in subservicing fees primarily due to a decline in average balance due to $11.1 billion interim subserviced loans that transferred out of the PMC servicing system in the third quarter of 2022 and a $1.3 million decline in fees collected on behalf of Rithm due to portfolio runoff.
77



The table above and fee structure reflects our strategy to grow our subservicing business and the increased use of MAV to grow our servicing volume. Year over year, when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2022 with the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our subservicing fee income grew by $44.9 million and we generated a new source of fee income with the $54.7 million servicing fee from MAV. On our owned MSR portfolio, servicing fee income increased by $6.4 million or 3%. We achieved a total $66.6 million fee increase, or 14%, despite a $37.9 million reduction in fees collected on behalf of Rithm due to portfolio runoff. The $44.9 million increase in subservicing fees is mostly due to the boarding of approximately 59,000 reverse mortgage loans under the subservicing agreement with MAM (RMS) in the first half of 2022. The average subservicing fee per loan increased from $12 to $28 dollars, driven by the inclusion of reverse mortgage loans that yield relatively higher compensation for both active and inactive loans.
The following table presents both servicing fees collected and subservicing fees retained by Ocwen under the Rithm (formerly NRZ) agreements. See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting for additional information.

Under GAAP, we separately present servicing fees collected and remitted on a gross basis, with the servicing fees remitted to Rithm reported as Pledged MSR liability expense.
(2)Excludes ancillary income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the net retained fee on our Rithm portfolio declined $1.0 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The net retained fee on our Rithm portfolio decreased $12.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decline in the Rithm fee collection and remittance is primarily driven by the decline in the average UPB of 3% and 16% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, due to portfolio runoff and prepayments.
The following table presents the detail of our ancillary income:

Ancillary income$30.1 $29.7 %$85.0 $66.9 27 %
Ancillary income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $0.4 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily because of a $5.7 million increase in float earnings driven by the increase in interest rates, offset by a $1.4 million decline in reverse subservicing ancillary fees, a $1.0 million decrease in boarding and deboarding fees related to reverse mortgage loans, a $1.1 million decrease in late charges due to borrower payment behavior and a $1.8 million decline in all other fee categories.
78



As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, ancillary income increased by $18.1 million largely due to $14.3 million of reverse subservicing fees recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on reverse mortgage loans boarded under the subservicing agreement with MAM (RMS) during the first and second quarters of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, float earnings increased $6.8 million due to higher interest rates and recording fees were $2.9 million lower due to the reduction in payoff volume.
Gain (loss) on Loans Held for Sale, Net
Gain on loans held for sale, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 improved $11.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 largely due to the $8.8 million loss recognized in the second quarter of 2022 on certain delinquent and aged loans repurchased in connection with the Ginnie Mae EBO program, net of the associated Ginnie Mae MSR fair value adjustment and advances.
Loss on loans held for sale, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $14.0 million, a $53.2 million unfavorable change as compared to a $39.2 million gain recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition to the EBO program repurchase of certain delinquent and aged loans discussed above, losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are driven by decreased volume and margins on redelivery gains of repurchased loans in connection with Ginnie Mae loan modifications and EBO activities, that became minimal in 2022, as a result of higher market interest rates. The unfavorable change is also explained by a $22.5 million gain recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the exercise of our servicer call rights of certain Non-Agency trusts.
Reverse Mortgage Revenue, Net
Reverse mortgage revenue, net reported in the Servicing segment is the net change in fair value of securitized loans held for investment and HMBS-related borrowings. Reverse mortgage revenue, net excludes reverse subservicing that is reflected in Servicing and subservicing fees. The following table presents the components of the net fair value change and is comprised of net interest income and other fair value gains or losses. Net interest income is primarily driven by the volume of securitized UPB as it is the interest income earned on the securitized loans offset against interest expense incurred on the HMBS-related borrowings, and represents a component of our compensation for servicing the portfolio, that is a percentage of the outstanding UPB. Other fair value changes are primarily driven by changes in market-based inputs or assumptions. Lower interest rates generally result in favorable net fair value impacts on our HECM reverse mortgage loans and the related HMBS financing liability and higher interest rates generally result in unfavorable net fair value impacts. Note that the fair value changes of the net asset value between securitized HECM loans and HMBS (referred to as our reverse MSR) attributable to interest rate changes are effectively used as a hedge of our forward MSR portfolio. See further description of our hedging strategy in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Reverse mortgage revenue, net increased $15.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to lower unrealized fair value losses on the HECM loan portfolio, net of HMBS, driven by higher fair value losses in the second quarter of 2022 due to wider yield spreads and other unfavorable model assumptions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Reverse mortgage revenue, net declined $34.0 million primarily due to higher unrealized fair value losses, driven by increasing interest rates and widening yield spread directly impacting projected asset life and the tail value of the HECM reverse mortgage loans. Tail value declined by $0.2 million and $7.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Tails represent the future draws of borrowers, scheduled and unscheduled, as well as capitalized interest and are included in the fair value of the underlying loans. As our HECM loan portfolio is predominantly comprised of ARMs, higher interest rates cause the loan balance to accrue and reach the 98% maximum claim amount liquidation event more quickly. Tails are securitized on a monthly basis and a widening yield spread results in lower cash gain on securitization.

(1)Excludes gains of $3.6 million and $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and $7.3 million and $18.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, on the revaluation of MSRs purchased at a discount, that is reported in the Originations segment as MSR valuation adjustments, net. Effective in the first quarter of 2022, we recognize revaluation gains or losses on Fannie Mae MSRs purchased through the Agency Cash Window Program within the Servicing segment that were historically reported in the Originations segment. Segment results for prior periods have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation. Such revaluation gains were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
(2)MSR sale transactions with Rithm and MAV that do not achieve sale accounting treatment. See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting for further information.
(3)The terms runoff and realization of expected future cash flows may be used interchangeably within this discussion.
We reported an $89.6 million gain in MSR valuation adjustments, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, comprised of a $22.4 million gain on our owned MSRs and a $67.2 million gain on the MSRs transferred to Rithm and MAV. The $22.4 million gain on our owned MSRs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is comprised of a $93.2 million gain on the MSR portfolio attributable to rate and assumption changes, a $25.8 million hedging loss and $45.0 million MSR portfolio runoff. MSR portfolio runoff represents the realization of expected cash flows and yield based on projected borrower behavior, including scheduled amortization of the loan UPB together with projected voluntary prepayments. The fair value gain due to rate and assumption changes is primarily due to an increase in market interest rates (e.g., the 10-year swap rate increased by 81 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2022), partially offset by an increase in the Agency discount rate and certain other model assumption updates.
The $59.2 million increase in gain on MSR valuation adjustments, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to a $68.9 million increase in the gain attributed to rate and assumption change, partially offset by an $8.8 million increase in the hedging loss. The higher fair value gains attributed to rate and assumption change are mostly driven by higher increases in rates in the respective periods. The 10-year swap rate increased by 81 basis points in the third quarter of 2022 and 65 basis points in the second quarter of 2022. Our MSR hedging policy is designed to reduce the volatility of the MSR portfolio fair value due to market interest rates. Refer to Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further detail on our hedging strategy and its effectiveness.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported a $168.3 million gain in MSR valuations, net as compared to a loss of $101.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This favorable variance of $270.1 million is due to a $398.0 million increase in the gain attributed to rate and assumption change offset by an $94.0 million increase in the hedging loss and a $34.0 million increase in runoff. The increase in gain on rate and assumption change is primarily due to an increase in market interest rates (e.g., the 10-year swap rate increased by 228 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and increased by 58 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2021). The increase in runoff is due to an increase in MSR portfolio size mostly due to significant bulk MSR acquisitions.

The $67.2 million gain on the transferred MSRs not qualifying for sale accounting (transferred to Rithm and MAV) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 includes $90.8 million fair value gain attributable to rates and assumptions and $23.6 million runoff. The $90.8 million fair value gain attributable to rates and assumptions during the three months ended September 30, 2022 is mostly driven by non-Agency prepayment assumption update, with additional gain attributed to the increase in market rates during the quarter. This MSR fair value gain is partially offset by a fair value loss recorded on the associated Rithm and MAV MSR pledged liability. The runoff is explained by the same factors underlying our owned MSR, discussed above, the transfers of MSRs to MAV beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and the decline in the Rithm MSR portfolio.

Compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 declined $1.3 million, or 4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in salaries and benefit expense, mostly attributed to an 8% decrease in our average U.S. based headcount as part of our cost reduction efforts, a $1.2 million decrease in estimated annual incentive plan award, and a $0.9 million decrease in the fair value of cash-settled share-based awards associated with the decline in our common stock price during the quarter. These declines in expense were partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in severance expense in connection with U.S. headcount reductions.
81



As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Compensation and benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $22.6 million, or 30%, primarily due to a $20.0 million increase in salaries and benefit expense driven by a 19% increase in our average Servicing headcount, mostly onshore. The increase in average servicing headcount primarily reflects the hiring of employees to support the growth of the reverse servicing platform, specifically the acquisition of reverse mortgage subservicing from MAM (RMS). In addition, severance expense increased $2.6 million due to U.S. headcount reductions in the third quarter of 2022 and commissions were $1.2 million higher primarily driven by the MAM (RMS) acquisition. Partially offsetting these increases in expense, incentive compensation decreased $2.2 million primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in cash-settled share-based awards expense associated with the decrease in our common stock price and forfeitures of unvested awards.
Servicing Expense
Servicing expense primarily includes claim losses and interest curtailments on government-insured loans, provision expense for advances and servicing representation and warranties, and certain loan-volume related expenses.
Servicing expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2022 by $0.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in provision for indemnification related to private investor and government-insured loans largely offset by a $1.6 million decrease in satisfaction and interest on payoff expense due to lower payoffs.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Servicing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 declined $29.6 million. The decline is primarily due to a $13.5 million decrease in satisfaction and interest on payoff expense attributable to lower payoff volume, an $8.7 million decrease in reverse subservicing expenses driven by the transfer of our owned reverse portfolio from a subservicer onto our platform beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, a $4.5 million reduction in interim subservicing costs incurred on bulk acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a $1.7 million decline in provision expense on government-insured claims receivables primarily due to decreased claim volumes, and a $1.1 million net decrease in provision for indemnification driven by favorable settlements.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses (total operating expenses less Compensation and benefit expense and Servicing expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4.6 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in Professional services expense offset in part by a $0.9 million decrease in bank charges. The increase in Professional services expense was driven by $4.8 million lower reimbursements received from mortgage loan investors related to prior year legal expenses and payments received following resolution of legacy litigation matters, and a $2.4 million increase in other litigation and legal expenses, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in other professional fees that was primarily due to costs incurred during three months ended June 30, 2022 related to MSR sales and our reverse subservicing business. The decrease in bank charges is mostly due to higher earning credits, driven by an increase in interest rates.
Other operating expenses increased by $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $4.5 million primarily due to an increase in printing and mailing expenses mostly as a result of the increase in the average number of loans serviced and additional mailing driven by our acquisition of reverse mortgage subservicing. Technology and communications increased $1.9 million primarily due to higher fees related to our forward loan servicing system driven by the increase in the average number of loans serviced. Other expense increased by $2.3 million driven primarily by the $3.3 million amortization expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on the reverse subservicing contract intangible asset recorded in October 2021 and April 2022 as part of the transactions with MAM (RMS), partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in bank charges driven by increased earning credits due to interest rate increases. Offsetting these increases, Professional services declined $4.3 million due to a $14.9 million decrease in legal expenses, mostly driven by reimbursements received from mortgage loan investors related to prior year legal expenses and to payments received following resolution of legacy litigation matters, partially offset by an increase in other litigation and legal expenses and a $9.8 million increase in other professional fees primarily related to our reverse subservicing business and MSR sales.

(1)Effective in the first quarter of 2022, interest expense on the OFC Senior Secured Notes is no longer allocated to the Servicing segment. Corporate debt interest expense allocation for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The interest expense allocation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $14.7 million.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $8.6 million or 39% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, mostly due to a $5.2 million increase in interest expense on MSR financing facilities and a $2.2 million increase in interest expense on advance match funded facilities. The increase in interest expense on MSR financing facilities is the result of a larger MSR portfolio and higher funding costs driven by increases in reference rates. The increase in interest expense on advance match funded facilities is due to higher funding cost, driven by increasing market interest rates and our repayment of low cost OMART term notes during three months ended September 30, 2022, offset in part by lower average balances.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $18.4 million, or 32%, due to an overall increase in the average debt balances to finance the growth of the MSR portfolio and a higher funding cost driven by increasing market interest rates.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was mostly unchanged as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $5.0 million primarily due to higher Ginnie Mae EBO loan repurchases and increasing interest rates.
Pledged MSR liability expense relates to the MSR transfers that do not qualify for sale accounting and are presented on a gross basis in our financial statements. See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Pledged MSR liability expense includes the servicing fee remittance for these transfers and the fair value changes of the pledged MSR liability.

Pledged MSR liability expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $57.6 million, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, largely due to a $56.1 million increase in fair value losses. Fair value adjustments of our MSR pledged liability (losses in the first, second and third quarter of 2022 driven by rising interest rates) are partially offset by fair value adjustments (gains) to the related MSR asset, which are recorded in MSR valuation adjustments, net. Refer to the above discussions of MSR valuation adjustments, net (Pledged MSR) and Servicing and subservicing fees (Rithm and MAV).
Pledged MSR liability expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $123.9 million, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a $94.5 million increase in fair value losses on the pledged MSR liability and a $17.6 million increase in net servicing fee remittance. These changes are largely driven by rising interest rates in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the launch of MAV in the second half of 2021 and the associated recognition of the MAV pledged MSR liability that is more interest rate sensitive than the Rithm pledged MSR liability. Fair value losses recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include $14.1 million recognized in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the amendment in March 2022 of the MAV Subservicing agreement to adjust down the ancillary income retained by PMC.
Other, net expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $12.4 million, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to $4.6 million deal call revenue recorded in 2021, $3.3 million loss on MSR recaptured and delivered to MAV for zero cash proceeds (offset by a corresponding amount recorded within Gain on loans held for sale, net), $3.3 million expense recognized in connection with the ESS financing transaction, and $2.3 million early payout protection in connection with our MSR sales.
ORIGINATIONS
We originate and purchase loans and MSRs through multiple channels, including retail, wholesale, correspondent, flow MSR purchase agreements, the Agency Cash Window and Co-issue programs and bulk MSR purchases.
We originate and purchase conventional loans (conforming to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; collectively referred to as Agency loans) and government-insured (FHA, VA or USDA) forward mortgage loans. The GSEs and Ginnie Mae guarantee these mortgage securitizations. We originate HECM loans, or reverse mortgages, that are mostly insured by the FHA and we are an approved issuer of HMBS that are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.
Within retail, our Consumer Direct channel for forward mortgage loans focuses on targeting existing servicing customers by offering them competitive mortgage refinance opportunities, where permitted by the governing servicing and pooling agreement. In doing so, we generate revenues for our forward lending business and protect the servicing portfolio by retaining these customers. A portion of our servicing portfolio is susceptible to refinance activity during periods of declining interest rates. Origination recapture volume and related gains are a natural economic hedge, to a certain degree, to the impact of declining MSR values as interest rates decline. To the extent we refinance a loan underlying the MSRs subject to the MAV Subservicing Agreement, we are obligated to transfer such recaptured MSR to MAV under the terms of the Joint-Marketing Agreement. In addition to refinance activities, our Consumer Direct channel targets purchase mortgage loans, cash-out, debt consolidation, mortgage insurance premium reduction, and new customer acquisition.
Our forward lending correspondent channel drives higher servicing portfolio replenishment. We purchase closed loans that have been underwritten to investor guidelines from our network of correspondent sellers and sell and securitize them, on a servicing retained basis. We offer correspondent sellers the choice to take out mandatory or best efforts contracts, under which the seller's obligation to deliver the mortgage loan becomes mandatory only when and if the mortgage is closed and funded. Additionally, we offer correspondent sellers the opportunity to leverage a non-delegated underwriting option for best-efforts deliveries. As of September 30, 2022, we have relationships with 558 approved correspondent sellers, or 120 new sellers since December 31, 2021.
84



We originate and purchase reverse mortgage loans through retail, wholesale, correspondent lending channels under the guidelines of the HECM reverse mortgage insurance program of the FHA. Loans originated under this program are generally insured by the FHA, which provides protection against risk of borrower default.
After origination, we package and sell the loans in the secondary mortgage market, through GSE and Ginnie Mae securitizations on a servicing retained basis. Origination revenue mostly includes interest income earned for the period the loans are held by us, gain on sale revenue, which represents the difference between the origination or purchase value and the sale value of the loan including its MSR value, and fee income earned at origination. As the securitizations of reverse mortgage loans do not achieve sale accounting treatment and the loans are classified as loans held for investment, at fair value, reverse mortgage revenues include the fair value changes of the loan from lock date to securitization date.
We provide customary origination representations and warranties to investors in connection with our GSE loan sales and securitization activities. We receive customary origination representations and warranties from our network of approved correspondent lenders. We recognize the fair value of the liability for our representations and warranties at the time of sale. In the event we cannot remedy a breach of a representation or warranty, we may be required to repurchase the loan or provide an indemnification payment to the mortgage loan investor. To the extent that we have recourse against a third-party originator, we may recover part or all of any loss we incur. We actively monitor our counterparty risk associated with our network of correspondent lenders-sellers.
We purchase MSRs through flow purchase agreements, the Agency Cash Window programs and bulk MSR purchases. The Agency Cash Window programs we participate in, and purchase MSR from, allow mortgage companies and financial institutions to sell whole loans to the respective agency and sell the MSR to the winning bidder servicing released. In addition, we partner with other originators to replenish our MSRs through flow purchase agreements. We do not provide any origination representations and warranties in connection with our MSR purchases through MSR flow purchase agreements or Agency Cash Window programs. As of September 30, 2022, we have relationships with 217 approved sellers through the Agency Cash Window co-issue programs, or 63 new sellers since December 31, 2021.
We initially recognize our MSR origination with the associated economics in our Originations segment, and transfer the MSR to our Servicing segment once the MSR is initially recognized on our balance sheet with all subsequent performance associated with the MSR, including funding cost, run-off and other fair value changes reflected in our Servicing segment. However, effective first quarter of 2022, we report MSRs purchased through the Fannie Mae Cash Window program and the associated economics in our Servicing segment upon acquisition, as such MSRs are transferred to MAV monthly under an MSR flow sale agreement and subserviced by PMC. Segment results for prior periods have been recast as applicable to conform to the current segment presentation. See the “MSR Valuations Adjustments, net” section below for additional information.
We source additional servicing volume through our subservicing and interim servicing agreements, through our existing relationships and our enterprise sales initiatives. We do not report any revenue or gain associated with subservicing within the Originations segment as the impact is captured in the Servicing segment. However, sales efforts and certain costs - marginal compensation and benefits - are managed and reported within the Originations segment.
For the third quarter of 2022, our Originations business originated or purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with a UPB of $5.2 billion and $292.3 million, respectively. In addition, we purchased $2.0 billion UPB MSR through the Agency Cash Window and flow purchase programs during the third quarter of 2022.

(3)Defined as the UPB of loans funded in the period.
Gain on loans held for sale, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $8.2 million, or 66% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher gains in the Correspondent channel, with a $1.1 billion, or 29% increase in loan production volume and increase in margin, as detailed in the above table. In the third quarter of 2022, with our efforts to prudently manage volatile market conditions and improve execution, we were able to continue to grow volume at margin levels that met our targets. For the Consumer Direct channel, Gain on sale was unchanged in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter as the higher margin was offset by the reduction in loan production volume. The Consumer Direct new production volume reduction is driven by the rising interest rates during 2022, significantly reducing opportunities for existing borrowers to refinance.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Gain on loans held for sale, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 declined $48.4 million, or 51% primarily due to a $54.2 million decrease in our Consumer Direct channel, driven by a decline in margin and 33% decrease in loan production attributed to this channel, as detailed in the above table. Our Consumer Direct channel benefited from historical low rate conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and was exposed to rapidly changing and unfavorable market conditions for borrower refinancing due to rising interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our loan production volume for our Correspondent channel increased $1.2 billion, or 11% as a result of our channel growth strategy. On June 1, 2021, we expanded our network of correspondent lenders through the assignment by Texas Capital Bank (TCB) to us, of all its correspondent loan purchase agreements with its correspondent sellers (approximately 220 sellers). Margins of our Correspondent channel increased when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2022 with the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to our prudent pricing and growth of higher margin execution, including best efforts during 2022, as discussed above.

Reverse Mortgage Revenue, Net
The following table provides information regarding Reverse mortgage revenue, net of the Originations segment that comprises fair value changes of the pipeline and unsecuritized reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value, together with volume and margin:

(1)Defined as the UPB of loans funded in the period.
(2)Ratio of origination gain and fees - see (3) below - to origination UPB. Note that the ratio includes gains or losses on interest rate lock commitments.
(3)Includes gain on new origination, and loan fees and other. Includes non-cash gain on securitization of newly originated loans of $6.3 million and $27.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We reported $10.5 million Originations Reverse mortgage revenue, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a $5.9 million, or 36% decrease as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is driven by a lower average margin in our retail channel and lower volume across the three channels. Our higher-margin reverse retail channel generated a net $5.3 million revenue decrease quarter over quarter due to the decline in volume as well as margin. The decrease in margin is primarily due to the continued increase in market interest rates and the widening of spreads.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Reverse mortgage revenue, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $4.8 million, or 8%. The decrease is primarily driven by lower margins in all three channels, partially offset by a favorable increase in volume in each of our channels. The lower margins were mostly due to the increase in market interest rates and higher level of yield spread widening observed in the market. Our higher-margin reverse Retail channel generated a net $1.8 million revenue decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021.
Other Revenue, net
Other revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was mostly unchanged as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 declined $7.7 million, primarily due to a $4.2 million decline in ancillary fee income related to MSR acquisitions due to a decline in bulk acquisitions and Agency cash window/flow purchases, and a $2.7 million decline in setup fees earned for loans boarded on our servicing platform, mostly related to flow purchases.
MSR Valuation Adjustments, Net
MSR valuation adjustments, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.0 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to additional revaluation gains on certain MSRs opportunistically purchased through the Agency Cash Window programs, and flow purchases. As an aggregator of MSRs, we may purchase MSRs from smaller originators with a purchase price at a discount to fair value and we recognize valuation adjustments for differences in exit markets in accordance with the accounting fair value guidance. We record such valuation adjustments as MSR valuation adjustments, net within the Originations segment since the segment’s business objective is the sourcing of new MSRs at targeted returns.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, MSR valuation adjustments, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 11.4 million. Opportunities for fair value discount or margins were greater in the early period of the pandemic and have reduced as markets normalized.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $9.2 million, or 22%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $7.0 million, or 28% decrease in Compensation and benefits. The decrease in salaries and benefits expense of $3.9 million was mostly attributed to a 25% lower average total headcount. Forward Originations headcount, mostly Consumer Direct, declined in the three months ended September 30, 2022 by 29% as part of our efforts to right size our resources to market opportunities. The $2.0 million decline in commissions was driven by lower Reverse origination volumes, and the $1.3 million decline in incentive compensation is mainly due to a decrease in the
89



fair value of cash-settled share-based awards associated with the decrease in our common stock price during the quarter and a decrease in the estimated annual incentive plan award. Origination expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $1.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in production volume in our Consumer Direct and Reverse channels.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.1 million. Compensation and benefits decreased $1.3 million, or 2% with a $3.2 million decline in incentive compensation and retention bonuses and a $1.6 million decrease in salaries and benefit expense, offset by a $3.8 million increase in severance expense due to headcount reductions in the second and third quarters of 2022. The decline in incentive compensation and retention bonuses is primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of cash-settled share-based awards associated with the decrease in our common stock price at September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021, and a reduction in employee retentions. Originations average total headcount increased 11% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mostly in Reverse Originations reflecting an increase in loan production. The increase in headcount due to the acquisition of the TCB Correspondent network was largely offset by the decline in headcount in Consumer Direct. The offshore-to-total average headcount ratio for Originations increased from 36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Other operating expenses increased $1.4 million primarily due to higher volumes compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a $2.5 million increase in advertising expense mostly attributed to Reverse Originations and a $1.9 million increase in corporate overhead allocations offset by a $3.3 million decrease in Professional services, explained by outsourced surge resources utilized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to support production volumes.
Certain other operating expenses are variable, and as a result, as origination volume increased or decreased so did the related expenses. Examples include credit reports, appraisals, settlement fees, and tax service fees recorded in Origination expenses or certain outsourced services including surge resources recorded in Professional services.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on newly-originated and purchased loans prior to sale to investors. Interest expense is incurred to finance the mortgage loans prior to sale or securitization, which is generally within 15 days. We finance originated and purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with repurchase and participation agreements, commonly referred to as warehouse lines.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.8 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $9.1 million. These increases are primarily due to the increase in average held for sale loan balances due to higher forward loan production volumes and rising interest rates.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.8 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in effective interest rates driven by base rate increases and the increase in average warehouse facility debt balances due to higher forward loan production volumes. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.5 million compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increase in average warehouse facility debt balances due to higher forward loan production volumes.
CORPORATE ITEMS AND OTHER
Corporate Items and Other includes revenues and expenses of corporate support services, our reinsurance business CRL, inactive entities, and our other business activities that are currently individually insignificant, revenues and expenses that are not directly related to other reportable segments, interest income on short-term investments of cash, gain or loss on repurchases of debt, interest expense on unallocated corporate debt and foreign currency exchange gains or losses. Interest expense on corporate debt is allocated to the Servicing segment and the Originations segment based on relative financing requirements. Effective in the first quarter of 2022, we no longer allocate the OFC Senior Secured Notes and related interest expense to the Servicing and Originations segments. Accordingly, the financing cost of the Servicing and Originations segments reflects and is consistent with the financing structure of the licensed entity PMC that carries out these businesses and does not depend on the financing structure strategy of its parent, as a holding company. Interest expense allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The interest expense allocation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $14.9 million.
Corporate support services include finance, facilities, human resources, internal audit, legal, risk and compliance, capital markets and technology functions. Certain expenses incurred by corporate support services are allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments using various methodologies intended to approximate the utilization of such services. Various measurements of utilization of corporate support services are maintained, primarily time studies, personnel volumes and service consumption levels. Support service costs not allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments are retained in the Corporate
90



Items and Other segment along with certain other costs including certain litigation and settlement related expenses or recoveries, and other costs related to operating as a public company.
CRL, our wholly-owned captive reinsurance subsidiary, provides re-insurance related to coverage on REO properties owned or serviced by us. CRL assumes a quota share of REO insurance coverage written by a third-party insurer under a blanket policy issued to PMC. The underlying REO policy provides coverage for direct physical loss on commercial and residential properties, subject to certain limitations. Under the terms of the reinsurance agreement, CRL assumes a 60% quota share of premiums and all related losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred by the third-party insurer, effective March 2021, with a 50% quota through February 2021. The reinsurance agreement expires December 31, 2023, but may be terminated by either party at any time with six months advance written notice. The agreement will automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless either party provides 60 days advance written notice prior to renewal.

Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 declined $4.3 million, or 18%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of a $3.7 million decrease in incentive compensation and a $0.5 million decrease in severance. The decrease in incentive compensation is due to a $1.9 million decrease in the fair value of cash-settled share-based awards associated with the decline in our common stock price during the quarter, a $1.9 million decrease in estimated annual incentive plan award for 2022 and the reduction in headcount. The average Corporate
91



headcount declined 11% and the offshore-to-total average headcount ratio increased from 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Compensation and benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $7.5 million, or 12%, primarily as a result of a $9.6 million decrease in incentive compensation and a $2.0 million decline in salaries and benefit expense, partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in severance. The decline in incentive compensation is primarily due to a $7.4 million decrease of cash-settled share-based awards expense associated with the decrease in our common stock price and forfeitures of unvested awards, a $1.1 million decrease in estimated annual incentive plan award compensation for 2022 and the reduction in headcount. The decline in salaries and benefit expense and the increase in severance expense are due to headcount reductions as part of our cost reduction efforts. The average Corporate headcount declined by 13% and the mix between onshore and offshore was unchanged.
Professional Services
Professional services expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.8 million, or 74%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to $2.1 million reimbursements received from mortgage loan investors in the second quarter of 2022 related to prior year legal expenses.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Professional services expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 declined $15.6 million, or 53%, primarily due to a $10.2 million decrease in legal expenses due to $6.8 million reimbursements received from mortgage loan investors related to prior year legal expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and a decrease in expenses related to other legal matters. Other professional fees declined $5.6 million primarily due to $3.2 million of advisory fees related to our MSR investment joint venture with Oaktree, MAV Canopy, which closed on May 3, 2021 and higher utilization of professional services in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including consulting services related to corporate strategy and business initiatives.
Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.2 million, or 533%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to $2.9 million facility repairs required in connection with our exit of our New Jersey leased office facility. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Occupancy and equipment expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.9 million, or 132%, due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 remained mostly flat as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.2 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily driven by license fees, increased travel expenses, and certain franchise tax credits in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2022. The debt balance of the Corporate segment is comprised mostly of the OFC Senior Secured Notes issued by Ocwen (parent company) as the PMC Senior Secured Notes are largely allocated to the Servicing and Originations segments.
As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.6 million, or 5%. The increase is primarily driven by a higher cost of corporate debt that is mostly due to the OFC senior secured notes issued on March 4, 2021 and May 3, 2021. The notes were issued to Oaktree together with warrants that resulted in an additional discount, the accretion of which is reported as interest expense.
During the second quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $0.9 million resulting from our repurchase of $25.0 million PMC 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due March 2026 at a discount, net of the proportionate write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. In March 2021, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $15.5 million resulting from our early repayment of the SSTL due May 2022 and our early redemption of our 6.375% PHH senior unsecured notes due August 2021 and our 8.375% PMC senior secured notes due November 2022. The loss on debt extinguishment includes the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, as well as contractual prepayment premiums.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
In the normal course of business, we are actively engaged with our lenders and as a result, renew, replace or extend our debt agreements to the extent necessary to finance our operations. See Note 13 – Borrowings to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We actively monitor and, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
92



we have adjusted our borrowing capacity on our various collateralized debt agreements to align with our financing needs and to optimize our financing costs.
A summary of borrowing capacity under our advance facilities, mortgage warehouse facilities and MSR financing facilities is as follows:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021

(1)Total Borrowing Capacity represents the maximum amount which can be borrowed, subject to eligible collateral. Available Borrowing Capacity represents Total Borrowing Capacity less outstanding borrowings.
Our total borrowing capacity increased by $63.7 million, or 2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mostly driven by a $125.0 million, or 16% increase in the capacity of our MSR financing facilities to fund our MSR portfolio growth. Partially offsetting this increase is a $75.0 million decrease in capacity on our advance facilities, consistent with the decrease in our advances. At September 30, 2022, none of the available borrowing capacity under our advance financing facilities could be funded based on the amount of eligible collateral that had been pledged to such facilities. Also, none of our uncommitted borrowing capacity was available to fund advances at September 30, 2022 under our Ginnie Mae MSR financing facility based on the amount of eligible collateral. We may utilize committed borrowing capacity under our mortgage loan warehouse facilities and MSR financing facilities to the extent we have sufficient eligible collateral to borrow against and otherwise satisfy the applicable conditions to funding. At September 30, 2022, we had no committed borrowing capacity under our mortgage loan warehouse facilities and $28.1 million committed borrowing capacity under our MSR financing facilities, based on the amount of eligible collateral. Uncommitted amounts can be advanced at the discretion of the lender, and there can be no assurance that any uncommitted amounts will be available to us at any particular time.
At September 30, 2022, our unrestricted cash position was $226.6 million compared to $192.8 million at December 31, 2021. We typically invest cash in excess of our immediate operating needs in deposit accounts and other liquid assets.
We strive to optimize our daily cash position to reduce financing costs while closely monitoring our liquidity needs and ongoing funding requirements. We regularly monitor and project cash flows over various time horizons as a way to anticipate and mitigate liquidity risk.
In assessing our liquidity outlook, our primary focus is on available cash on hand, unused available funding and the following forecast measures:
Financial projections for ongoing net income, excluding the impact of non-cash items, and working capital needs including loan origination and repurchases;
Requirements for amortizing and maturing liabilities;
The projected change in advances compared to the projected borrowing capacity to fund such advances under our facilities, including capacity for monthly peak needs;
Projected funding requirements for acquisitions of MSRs and other investment opportunities, including our equity contributions to MAV Canopy;
Funding capacity for whole loans and tail draws under our reverse mortgage commitments subject to warehouse eligibility requirements;
Potential payments or recoveries related to legal and regulatory matters, insurance, taxes and others; and
Margining requirements associated with our borrowing facilities and hedging program.
93



Use of Funds
Our primary near-term uses of funds in the normal course include:
Payment of operating costs and corporate expenses;
Payments for advances in excess of collections;
Investing in our servicing and originations businesses, including MSRs, other asset acquisitions and MAV Canopy equity contributions;
Originated and repurchased loans, including scheduled and unscheduled equity draws on reverse mortgage loans;
Payment of margin calls under our MSR financing facilities and derivative instruments;
Repayments of borrowings, including under our MSR financing, advance financing and warehouse facilities, and payment of interest expense; and
Net negative working capital and other general corporate cash outflows.
We have originated floating-rate reverse mortgage loans under which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion at September 30, 2022. This additional borrowing capacity is available on a scheduled or unscheduled payment basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we funded $181.2 million out of the $1.5 billion borrowing capacity available as of December 31, 2021. We also had short-term commitments to lend $1.3 billion and $19.2 million in connection with our forward and reverse mortgage loan IRLCs, respectively, outstanding at September 30, 2022. As an HMBS issuer, we assume certain obligations related to each security issued. The most significant obligation is the requirement to purchase loans out of the Ginnie Mae securitization pools once the outstanding principal balance of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the maximum claim amount (MCA repurchases), or when they become inactive (the borrower is deceased, no longer occupies the property or is delinquent on tax and insurance payments). Our subservicing clients bear the financial obligation and risks associated with purchasing loans out of securitization pools within the portfolio we subservice. We finance originated and purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with repurchase and participation agreements, referred to as warehouse lines.
Regarding the current maturities of our borrowings, as of September 30, 2022, we have approximately $1.9 billion of debt outstanding that would either come due, begin amortizing or require partial repayment in the next 12 months. This amount is comprised of $819.6 million of borrowings under forward and reverse mortgage warehouse facilities, $456.2 million of notes under advance financing facilities that will enter their respective amortization periods, $648.2 million outstanding under Agency and Ginnie Mae MSR financing facilities maturing in the next 12 months and $18.6 million of scheduled principal amortization on the PLS Notes secured by PLS MSRs.
We are generally subject to daily margining requirements under the terms of our MSR financing facilities and daily cash calls for our TBAs, interest rate swap futures or other derivatives. Declines in fair value of our MSRs due to declines in market interest rates, assumption updates or other factors require that we provide additional collateral to our lenders under MSR financing facilities. Similarly, declines in fair value of our derivative instruments require that we provide additional collateral to the clearing counterparties. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in Item 3, Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
On May 20, 2022, Ocwen’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million of Ocwen’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Through October 2022, we completed the repurchase of 1,682,744 shares of our common stock under this program for a total purchase price of $47.7 million. Unless Ocwen amends the share repurchase program or repurchases the full $50.0 million amount by an earlier date, the share repurchase program will continue through November 20, 2022. We intend to finance the remaining share repurchases with available cash.
Our medium- and long-term requirements for cash include:
Payment of interest and principal repayment of our corporate debt that matures in 2026 and 2027;
Any payments associated with the confirmation of loss contingencies; and
Any other payments required under contractual obligations discussed above that extend beyond one year.
We are focused on ensuring that we have sufficient liquidity sources to continue to operate and support our business initiatives. We continuously evaluate alternative financings to diversify our sources of funds, optimize maturities and reduce our funding cost. See “Sources of Funds” below.
Sources of Funds
Our primary sources of funds for near-term liquidity in normal course include:
Collections of servicing and subservicing fees and ancillary revenues;
Collections of advances in excess of new advances;
Proceeds from match funded advance financing facilities;
Proceeds from other borrowings, including warehouse facilities and MSR financing facilities;
94



Proceeds from sales and securitizations of originated loans and repurchased loans; and
Net positive working capital from changes in other assets and liabilities.
Servicing advances are an important component of our business and represent amounts that we, as servicer, are required to advance to, or on behalf of, our servicing clients if we do not receive such amounts from borrowers. Our use of advance financing facilities is integral to our cash and liquidity management strategy. Revolving variable funding notes issued under our advance financing facilities to financial institutions typically have a revolving period of 12 months. Additionally, certain of our financing and subservicing agreements permit us to retain advance collections for a period ranging from one to two business days before remittance, thus providing a source of short-term liquidity.
We use mortgage loan repurchase and participation facilities (commonly called warehouse lines) to fund newly-originated loans on a short-term basis until they are sold or securitized to secondary market investors, including GSEs or other third-party investors, and to fund repurchases of certain Ginnie Mae forward loans, HECM loans, second-lien loans and other types of loans. Warehouse facilities are structured as repurchase or participation agreements under which ownership of the loans is temporarily transferred to the lender. These facilities contain eligibility criteria that include aging and concentration limits by loan type among other provisions. Currently, our master repurchase and participation agreements generally have maximum terms of 364 days. The funds are typically repaid using the proceeds from the sale of the loans to the secondary market investors, usually within 30 days.
We also rely on the secondary mortgage market as a source of consistent liquidity to support our lending operations. Substantially all of the mortgage loans that we originate or purchase are sold or securitized in the secondary mortgage market in the form of residential mortgage backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and, in the case of mortgage backed securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the FHA, VA or USDA.
We regularly evaluate financing structure options that we believe will most effectively provide the necessary capacity to support our investment plans, address upcoming debt maturities and accommodate our business needs. We continuously evaluate the allocation of our capital to MSR investments, the related returns, funding and liquidity requirements. The relationship with MAV may continue to provide PMC with an additional means to finance MSRs and maintain liquidity while maintaining servicing volume. With the development of MAV and our relationships with other clients, additional opportunities to rebalance our servicing and subservicing portfolio mix are available to us and may result in the sale of MSRs while we would perform subservicing for the sold portfolio. In the third quarter of 2022, we issued an excess servicing spread financing to a third party that allows us to continue to perform servicing while enhancing our liquidity.
Covenants
Our debt agreements contain various qualitative and quantitative covenants including financial covenants, covenants to operate in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations, monitoring and reporting obligations and restrictions on our ability to engage in various activities, including but not limited to incurring or guarantying additional debt, paying dividends or making distributions on or purchasing equity interests of Ocwen and its subsidiaries, repurchasing or redeeming capital stock or junior capital, repurchasing or redeeming subordinated debt prior to maturity, issuing preferred stock, selling or transferring assets or making loans or investments or other restricted payments, entering into mergers or consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of Ocwen and its subsidiaries, creating liens on assets to secure debt, and entering into transactions with affiliates. These covenants may limit the manner in which we conduct our business and may limit our ability to engage in favorable business activities or raise additional capital to finance future operations or satisfy future liquidity needs. In addition, breaches or events that may result in a default under our debt agreements include, among other things, nonpayment of principal or interest, noncompliance with our covenants, breach of representations, the occurrence of a material adverse change, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain material judgments and litigation and changes of control. See Note 13 – Borrowings to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our covenants. The most restrictive liquidity requirement under our debt agreements is for a minimum of $75.0 million in consolidated liquidity, as defined, under certain of our MSR financing facilities agreements. At September 30, 2022, we held unrestricted cash in excess of this minimum amount.
In addition, our debt agreements generally include cross default provisions such that a default under one agreement could trigger defaults under other agreements. If we fail to comply with our debt agreements and are unable to avoid, remedy or secure a waiver of any resulting default, we may be subject to adverse action by our lenders, including termination of further funding, acceleration of outstanding obligations, enforcement of liens against the assets securing or otherwise supporting our obligations, and other legal remedies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants in our debt agreements as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.

Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a company’s debt obligations. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets. The following table summarizes our current ratings and outlook by the respective nationally recognized rating agencies. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
Rating AgencyLong-term Corporate RatingReview Status / OutlookDate of last action
Moody’sCaa1PositiveAugust 15, 2022
S&PB-StableJanuary 24, 2022
On August 15, 2022, Moody’s reaffirmed their ratings of Caa1 and revised their outlook to Positive from Stable. In its affirmation of PMC’s ratings, Moody’s referenced currently weak but improving profitability and modest capital levels. In its change in PMC’s outlook to Positive from Stable, Moody’s cited the progress the company is making in transitioning its strategy to focus on originations and servicing of non-delinquent forward and reverse mortgages from the servicing of seriously delinquent loans, which should lead to a more resilient business model and more stable earnings profile. The Positive outlook also reflects Moody's expectation that PMC will maintain stable financial metrics in the next 12-18 months with respect to capitalization and liquidity, continue to strengthen its servicing and origination franchises and make progress with respect to its strategic plan to improve profitability.
On February 24, 2021, concurrent with the launch of the $400.0 million PMC Senior Secured Notes offering, both Moody’s and S&P reaffirmed the long-term corporate ratings at Caa1 and B-, respectively. In addition, both agencies revised the outlook of the issuer corporate ratings to Stable from Negative. This change in outlook was driven by the elimination of the short debt maturity runway and refinancing risk, which was listed as an area of concern by both Moody’s and S&P. On January 24, 2022, S&P affirmed the long-term corporate rating at B-.
On January 24, 2022, S&P raised the assigned rating to the PMC Senior Secured Notes from ‘B-’ to ‘B’ and maintained a stable outlook citing improved profitability and increase in assets. It is possible that additional actions by credit rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and funding position, including materially changing the terms on which we may be able to borrow money.
Cash Flows
Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by operating results, including Originations gains on loan sales, changes in our servicing advance balances, the level of mortgage loan production, the timing of sales and securitizations of mortgage loans, and the margin calls required under our MSR financing facilities or derivative instruments. We classify purchases of MSRs through flow purchase agreements, Agency Cash Window and bulk acquisitions as investing activity. MSR investments represent a key indicator of our ability to generate future income in our Servicing business, together with originated MSRs. We classify changes in HECM loans held for investment as investing activity and changes in the related HMBS borrowings as financing activity.
Our Rithm agreements represent an important component of our liquidity and our liquidity management, and have a significant impact on consolidated statements of cash flows. Excluding the impact of changes to the secured financings attributed to changes in fair value, changes in the balance of these secured financings are reflected in cash flows from operating activities despite having no impact on our consolidated cash balance.
Our cash flows are summarized as follows:

Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
Our operating activities provided $259.6 million of cash including net collections of servicing advances of $101.8 million, mostly T&I advances, and net cash received on loans held for sale of $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher forward loan production volumes. In addition, we received earnings distributions of $5.2 million from our equity method investee MAV Canopy.
Our investing activities used $206.5 million of cash. The primary uses of cash in our investing activities include $174.9 million to purchase MSRs, $171.4 million net cash outflows in connection with our HECM reverse mortgages and $6.9 million acquisition of reverse subservicing agreement. Offsetting cash inflows include $149.1 million proceeds from the sale of MSRs to an unrelated third party. Capital distributions of $32.4 million received from our equity method investee MAV Canopy were offset by $33.8 million of capital contributions.
Our financing activities used $44.7 million of cash. Cash outflows include $143.5 million net repayments of borrowings under our mortgage warehouse and MSR financing facilities due to the decline in loans held for sale, $54.8 million of net repayments on advance match funded liabilities due to the decline in servicing advances, and $83.8 million of net payments on the financing liabilities related to MSRs transferred due to runoff. We also paid $23.6 million to repurchase $25.0 million of our 7.875% PMC Senior Secured Notes and $38.8 million to repurchase 1,338,498 shares of our common stock. Cash inflows include $1.5 billion received in connection with our reverse mortgage securitizations, which are accounted for as secured financings, partially offset by repayments on the related financing liability of $1.3 billion, $78.7 million of proceeds from sale of MSRs accounted for as a financing in connection with sales of MSRs to MAV and $36.2 million of proceeds from the excess servicing spread financing.
Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
Our operating activities used $412.8 million of cash largely due to the growth of our new Originations production with net cash paid on loans held for sale of $576.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by $69.9 million of net collections of servicing advances, mostly P&I advances.
Our investing activities used $845.4 million of cash. The primary uses of cash in our investing activities include $785.2 million to purchase MSRs, mostly through bulk acquisitions, and $18.5 million of contributions to our equity method investee MAV Canopy. These cash outflows were partially offset by net cash inflows in connection with our HECM reverse mortgages of $42.8 million.
Our financing activities provided $1.2 billion of cash. Cash inflows include $647.9 million from the issuance of the PMC Senior Secured Notes and the OFC Senior Secured Notes, warrants and common stock to Oaktree and $1.1 billion received in connection with our reverse mortgage securitizations, which are accounted for as secured financings, partially offset by repayments on the related financing liability of $1.2 billion, $130.0 million of proceeds from the sale of MSRs accounted for as a financing in connection with sales of MSRs to MAV, and an $897.6 million net increase in borrowings under our mortgage warehouse and MSR financing facilities. Cash outflows include $319.2 million to repay our 6.375% senior unsecured notes and 8.375% senior secured notes, $188.7 million repayment of the SSTL, $64.7 million of net repayments on advance match funded liabilities and $60.3 million of net payments on the financing liabilities related to MSRs pledged.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our ability to measure and report our financial position and operating results is influenced by the need to estimate the impact or outcome of future events based on information available at the date of the financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered critical if it requires that management make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made. If actual results differ from our judgments and assumptions, then it may have an adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows. We have processes in place to monitor these judgments and assumptions, and management is required to review critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Our accounting policies and estimates involving significant judgments primarily relate to fair value measurements, income taxes, allowance for losses on assets, and the provision for losses that may arise from contingencies, including indemnification obligations and litigation proceedings. We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain instruments in our statement of operations and to determine fair value disclosures, including but not limited to MSRs, Pledged MSR liabilities and Reverse mortgage loans held for investment. As of September 30, 2022, 88% of our assets and 70% of our liabilities were reported at fair value, with fair value changes reported in our statement of operations. Substantially all our assets and liabilities at fair value were classified as Level 3 instruments due to unobservable inputs.
Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and
97



Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” There have not been any material changes to our critical accounting policies and the methods we used and judgments we made relating to estimates as disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

See Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to recent accounting standards updates.
ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Dollars in millions unless otherwise indicated)
Interest Rates
Our principal market risk exposure is the impact of interest rate changes on our mortgage-related assets and commitments, including MSRs, loans held for sale, loans held for investment, IRLCs and other derivative instruments. In addition, changes in interest rates could materially and adversely affect the amount of escrow and float income, the volume of mortgage loan originations or result in MSR fair value changes. We also have exposure to the effects of changes in interest rates on our floating-rate borrowings, including MSR and advance financing facilities.
Our management-level Market Risk Committee establishes and maintains policies that govern our risk appetite and associated hedging programs, including such factors as market volatility, duration and interest rate sensitivity measures, limits, targeted hedge ratios, the hedge instruments that we are permitted to use in our hedging activities and the counterparties with whom we are permitted to enter into hedging transactions and our liquidity risk profile. See Note 16 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our use of derivatives.
MSR Hedging Strategy
MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The fair value of MSRs is subject to changes in market interest rates, among other inputs and assumptions.
The objective of our risk management MSR policy is to provide partial hedge coverage of interest-rate sensitive MSR portfolio exposure, considering market and liquidity conditions. The interest-rate sensitive MSR portfolio exposure is defined as follows:
Agency MSR portfolio,
expected Agency MSR bulk transactions subject to letters of intent (LOI),
less the Agency MSRs subject to our sale agreements with Rithm (formerly NRZ) and MAV (See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting),
less the asset value for securitized HECM loans, net of the corresponding HMBS-related borrowings (Reverse).
The hedge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of hedge and asset rate sensitivity (referred to as DV01) at the time of measurement, is subject to lower and upper thresholds, as modeled. As of September 30, 2022, a minimum 25% and 30% hedge coverage ratios were required for interest rate declines less than, and more than 50 basis points, respectively. Prior to September 30, 2022, the hedge coverage ratio was required to remain within a minimum of 40% and maximum of 60%. MSRs subject to LOI may be covered under a separate hedge coverage ratio requirement sufficient to preserve the economics of the intended transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of our hedging instruments may not fully offset the changes in fair value of our net MSR portfolio exposure attributable to interest rate changes. We periodically evaluate the hedge coverage ratio at the intended shock interval to determine if it is relevant or warrants adjustment based on market conditions, symmetry of interest rate risk exposure, and liquidity impacts of both the hedge and asset profile under shock scenarios. As the market dictates, management may choose to maintain hedge coverage ratio levels at or beyond the above thresholds, with approval of the Market Risk Committee, in order to preserve liquidity and/or optimize asset returns. In addition, while DV01 measures may remain within the range of our hedging strategy’s objective, actual changes in fair value of the derivatives and MSR portfolio may not offset to the same extent, due to non-parallel changes in the interest rate curve and the basis risk inherent in the MSR profile and hedging instruments, among other factors. We continuously evaluate the use of hedging instruments to strive to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our interest rate hedging strategy.
The following table illustrates the interest rate sensitivity of our MSR portfolio exposure and associated hedges at September 30, 2022. Hypothetical change in values of the MSR and hedges are presented under a set instantaneous +/- 25 basis point parallel move in rates. Refer to the description below under Sensitivity Analysis for more details. Changes in fair value cannot be extrapolated because the relationship to the change in fair value may not be linear. The amounts based on market risk sensitive measures are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only.

(2)The hypothetical hedge coverage ratio above is calculated as the change in fair value of the total hedge position divided by the change in value of the Agency MSR position.
Our derivative instruments include forward trades of MBS or Agency TBAs with different banking counterparties, exchange-traded interest rate swap futures, interest rate options. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges. TBAs, or To-Be-Announced securities are actively traded, forward contracts to purchase or sell Agency MBS on a specific future date. From time-to-time, we enter into exchange-traded options contracts with purchased put options financed by written call options. We report changes in fair value of these derivative instruments in MSR valuation adjustments, net in our consolidated statements of operations, within the Servicing segment. We may, from time to time, establish inter-segment derivative instruments between the MSR and pipeline hedging strategies to optimize the use of third party derivatives. Such inter-segment derivatives are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
The derivative instruments are subject to margin requirements, posted as either initial or variation margin. Ocwen may be required to post or may be entitled to receive cash collateral with its counterparties through margin calls, based on daily value changes of the instruments. Changes in market factors, including interest rates, and our credit rating may require us to post additional cash collateral and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and liquidity.
Loans Held for Investment and HMBS-related Borrowings
The fair value of our HECM loan portfolio generally decreases as market interest rates rise and increases as market rates fall. As our HECM loan portfolio is predominantly comprised of ARMs, higher interest rates cause the loan balance to accrue and reach a 98% maximum claim amount liquidation event more quickly, with lower interest rates extending the timeline to liquidation.
The fair value of our HECM loan portfolio net of the fair value of the HMBS-related borrowings comprise the fair value of reverse mortgage loans and tails that are unsecuritized at the balance sheet date (reverse pipeline) and the fair value of securitized HECM loans net of the corresponding HMBS-related borrowings that represent the reverse mortgage economic MSR (HMSR) for risk management purposes. The HMSR acts as a partial hedge for our forward MSR value sensitivity. This HMSR exposure is used as an offset to our forward MSR exposure and managed as part of our MSR hedging strategy described above.
Pipeline Hedging Strategy - Loans Held for Sale and IRLCs
In our Originations business, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the interest rate lock commitment through (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date or (ii) through the date of sale of the resulting loan into the secondary mortgage market. Loan commitments for forward loans generally range from 5 to 90 days, with the majority of our commitments to borrowers for 55 to 75 days and our commitments to correspondent sellers for 7 days. Loans held for sale are generally funded and sold within 3 to 20 days. The interest rate exposure of loans held for sale and IRLCs is economically hedged with derivative instruments, including forward sales of Agency TBAs. The objective of our pipeline hedging strategy is to provide hedge coverage of locks and loans within certain tolerance levels. The net daily market risk position of net pull-though adjusted locks and loans held for sale, less the offsetting hedges of the forward and reverse pipelines, is monitored daily and its daily limit is the greater of +/- 5% or +/- $15 million. We report changes in fair value of these derivative instruments in gain on loans held for sale in our consolidated statements of operations, within the Originations segment. We establish inter-segment derivative instruments between the MSR and pipeline hedging strategies to optimize the use of third party derivatives. Such inter-segment derivatives are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. Reverse pipeline is hedged under the same principles as described below, for unsecuritized loans held for investment.
99



EBO and Loan Modification Hedging – Loans Held for Sale, at fair value
In our Servicing business, effective February 2022, management started hedging certain Ginnie Mae EBO loans repurchased out of securitization pools for modification and reperformance with TBAs to manage the interest rate risk while these loans await redelivery.
Advance Match Funded Liabilities
We monitor the effect of increases in interest rates on the interest paid on our variable-rate advance financing debt. Earnings on cash and float balances are a partial offset to our exposure to changes in interest expense. We purchase interest rate caps as economic hedges (not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes) when required by our advance financing arrangements.
Interest Rate-Sensitive Financial Instruments
The tables below present the notional amounts of our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates and the related fair value of these instruments at the dates indicated. We use certain assumptions to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

Sensitivity Analysis
Fair Value MSRs, Loans Held for Sale, Loans Held for Investment and Related Derivatives
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our MSRs, HECM loans held for investment and loans held for sale that we have elected to carry at fair value as well as any related derivatives at September 30, 2022, given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. We used September 30, 2022 market rates to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the interest rate risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship to the change in fair value may not be linear.

(1)Primarily reflects the impact of market interest rate changes on projected prepayments on the Agency MSR portfolio. Fair value adjustments to our MSRs are offset, in part, by fair value adjustments related to the Rithm and MAV financing liabilities, which are recorded in Pledged MSR liability expense.
(2)Forward mortgage loans only.
The decrease in our net sensitivity from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 (from approximately $35 - $39 million) to $22 - $23 million for a 25 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve) is primarily driven by the effect of the increase in interest rates on the MSR portfolio (due to convexity), the sale of an MSR portfolio and the change in our hedging instruments in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Borrowings
The majority of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. We may purchase interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to minimize future interest rate exposure from increases in interest rates, or when required by the financing agreements.
Based on September 30, 2022 balances, if interest rates were to increase by 100 bps on our variable-rate debt and interest earning cash and float balances, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $0.6 million resulting from an increase of $22.4 million in annual interest income and other credits on deposits, and an increase of $21.8 million in annual interest expense.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations in India and the Philippines expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our foreign exchange positions remain unhedged. Depending on the magnitude and risk of our positions we may enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against the effect of changes in the value of the India Rupee or Philippine Peso. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging derivative instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Home Prices
Inactive reverse mortgage loans for which the maximum claim amount has not been met are generally foreclosed upon on behalf of Ginnie Mae with the REO remaining in the related HMBS until liquidation. Inactive MCA repurchased loans are generally foreclosed upon and liquidated by the HMBS issuer. Although active and inactive reverse mortgage loans are insured by FHA, we may incur expenses and losses in the process of repurchasing and liquidating these loans that are not reimbursable by FHA in accordance with program guidelines. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be subject to real estate price risk to the extent we are unable to liquidate REO within the FHA program guidelines. As our reverse mortgage portfolio seasons, and the volume of MCA repurchases increases, our exposure to this risk will increase.

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2022.
Based on such evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022 were (1) designed and functioning effectively to ensure that material information relating to Ocwen, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) operating effectively in that they provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Ocwen in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer or principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 20 – Regulatory Requirements and Note 22 – Contingencies to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. That information is incorporated into this item by reference.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risk. We describe the most significant risks that management believes affect or could affect us under Part I, Item 1.A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Understanding these risks is important to understanding any statement in such reports and in our subsequent SEC filings (including this Form 10-Q) and to evaluating an investment in our common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties described therein together with all the other information included or incorporated by reference in such Annual Report and in our subsequent SEC filings before you make any decision regarding an investment in our common stock. You should also consider the information set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could significantly decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment.
In addition to the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, you should consider the following:
If we are unable to identify and execute a cost-effective business response to Ginnie Mae’s updated financial eligibility requirements, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
On August 17, 2022, the FHFA and Ginnie Mae announced updated minimum financial eligibility requirements for GSE seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae issuers. The updated minimum financial eligibility requirements modify the definitions of tangible net worth and eligible liquidity, modify their minimum standard measurement and include a new risk-based capital ratio, among other changes. The majority of the updated requirements will become effective on September 30, 2023. On October 21, 2022, Ginnie Mae extended the compliance date for its risk-based capital requirements to December 31, 2024. On a pro forma basis, as if the updated requirements were in effect as of September 30, 2022, we believe PMC would be in compliance with all of the updated requirements except for the new risk-based capital requirement. We are currently evaluating the potential impacts of these updated requirements, the costs and benefits of achieving compliance, and possible courses of action involving external investor solutions, structural solutions or exiting Ginnie Mae forward originations and owned servicing activities. If we are unable to identify and execute a cost-effective solution that allows us to continue these businesses and are unable to replace the lost income from these activities, or if we misjudge the magnitude of the costs and benefits and their impacts on our business, our financial results could be negatively impacted. As of September 30, 2022, our forward owned servicing portfolio included 81,949 government-insured loans with a UPB of $12.1 billion, 10% of our total forward owned MSRs or 4% of our total UPB serviced and subserviced. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we originated and purchased a total of 4,050 government-insured loans with a UPB of $1.3 billion, 9% of our total Originations UPB.

The timing and execution of any share repurchases are subject to market conditions, among other factors, and Ocwen may modify, discontinue or suspend the repurchase program at any time.
