(1)The Company recognizes revenue on an earned basis for services performed. Amounts include subservicing related revenues. (2)Mark-to-market (“MTM”) adjustments include fair value adjustments on MSR, excess spread financing and MSR financing liabilities. The amount of MSR MTM includes the impact of negative modeled cash flows which have been transferred to reserves on advances and other receivables. The negative modeled cash flows relate to advances and other receivables associated with inactive and liquidated loans that are no longer part of the MSR portfolio. The impact of negative modeled cash flows was $7 and $18 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $20 and $46 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. (3)Counterparty revenue share represents the excess servicing fee that the Company pays to the counterparties under the excess spread financing arrangements and the payments made associated with MSR financing arrangements. (4)Amortization is net of excess spread accretion of $96 and $77 and MSL accretion of $4 and $10 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, amortization is net of excess spread accretion of $243 and $172 and MSL accretion of $17 and $39, respectively.
