[1] | Effective January 1, 2015, we elected fair value accounting for a newly-created class of non-Agency MSRs, which were previously accounted for using the amortization method. This irrevocable election applies to all subsequently acquired or originated servicing assets and liabilities that have characteristics consistent with this class. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $52.0 million (before deferred income taxes of $9.2 million) to retained earnings as of January 1, 2015 to reflect the excess of the fair value of these MSRs over their carrying amount. At December 31, 2014, the UPB of the loans related to the non-Agency MSRs for which the fair value election was made was $195.3 billion.
[2] | Cash proceeds from the 2013 sale were $34.8 million. These MSRs were sold with subservicing retained. The gain on the sale of $5.1 million has been deferred and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the subservicing contract.
[3] | The OneWest MSR Transaction closed in stages, and the majority of loans were boarded onto our primary servicing platform as of December 31, 2013. MSRs acquired in the final closing of the OneWest MSR Transaction in 2014 relate to mortgage loans with a UPB of $1.1 billion and related servicing advances of $34.3 million. Total UPB and related servicing advances acquired in the OneWest MSR Transaction were $70.1 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. No operations or other assets were purchased in the transaction. As part of the OneWest MSR Transaction, both the seller and OLS have agreed to indemnification provisions for the benefit of the other party.
[4] | The MSRs acquired in 2014 relate to mortgage loans with a UPB of $948.9 million and related servicing advances of $47.6 million. Total UPB and related servicing advances acquired were $7.3 billion and $469.7 million, respectively.
