Note 12—Allowance for Loss-Sharing Obligations

Our allowance for loss-sharing obligations related to the Fannie Mae DUS program is as follows (in thousands):

		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2019			2018
Beginning balance		$	34,298		$	30,511
Provision for loss sharing			4,879			7,126
Provision reversal for loan repayments			(3,732)			(3,283)
Charge-offs, net			(797)			(56)
Ending balance		$	34,648		$	34,298

When we settle a loss under the DUS loss-sharing model, the net loss is charged-off against the previously recorded loss-sharing obligation. The settled loss is often net of any previously advanced principal and interest payments in accordance with the DUS program, which are reflected as reductions to the proceeds needed to settle losses. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had outstanding advances of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which were netted against the allowance for loss-sharing obligations.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our allowance for loss-sharing obligations represented 0.23% and 0.25%, respectively, of the Fannie Mae servicing portfolio.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the maximum quantifiable liability associated with our guarantees under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was $2.73 billion and $2.46 billion, respectively. The maximum quantifiable liability is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. We would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans we service for Fannie Mae, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for loss and gain contingencies. Describes any existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as of the balance sheet date (or prior to issuance of the financial statements) as to a probable or reasonably possible loss incurred by an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, and typically discloses the amount of loss recorded or a range of possible loss, or an assertion that no reasonable estimate can be made.
