Transfers and Servicing [Abstract] |
Sales of Advances and MSRs | Note 4 — Sales of Advances and MSRs In order to efficiently finance our assets, streamline our operations and generate liquidity, we sell MSRs, Rights to MSRs and servicing advances to market participants. We may retain the right to subservice loans when we sell MSRs. In connection with sales of Rights to MSRs, we retain legal ownership of the MSRs and continue to service the related mortgage loans until such time as all necessary consents to a transfer of the MSRs are received. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we sold MSRs relating to Agency and non-Agency loans with a UPB of $134.7 million and $214.4 million, respectively. In 2012 and 2013, we sold Rights to MSRs with respect to certain non-Agency MSRs and the related servicing advances to Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (HLSS), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NRZ. We refer to the sale of Rights to MSRs and the related servicing advances as the NRZ/HLSS Transactions. As of June 30, 2017, these Rights to MSRs relate to approximately $109.6 billion in UPB of our non-Agency MSRs. At June 30, 2017, NRZ had outstanding advances of approximately $3.4 billion in connection with the Rights to MSRs. On July 23, 2017, we executed on our previously announced agreement in principle with NRZ to convert NRZ’s existing Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. We entered into a master agreement (Master Agreement), a transfer agreement (Transfer Agreement) and a subservicing agreement (Subservicing Agreement) pursuant to which the parties agreed to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer of the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs to NRZ and under which Ocwen will subservice the MSRs for an initial term of five years (Initial Term). Upon obtaining the required third party consents, and upon transfer of the MSRs, NRZ will pay a lump sum restructuring fee to us, with the amount determined in accordance with the Master Agreement as of each transfer date. In the event third party consents are not received by July 23, 2018, or earlier if mutually agreed, any non-transferred MSRs may (i) become subject to a new mortgage servicing rights agreement to be negotiated between Ocwen and NRZ, (ii) be acquired by Ocwen or, if Ocwen does not desire or is otherwise unable to purchase, sold to a third party in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement, or (iii) remain subject to the terms of the existing 2012 and 2013 agreements. Under the terms of the Subservicing Agreement, in addition to a base servicing fee, Ocwen will continue to receive ancillary income, which primarily includes late fees, HAMP or other loan modification fees and Speedpay fees, but does not include float earnings or REO referral commissions. NRZ will receive all deferred servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments. At any time during the Initial Term, NRZ may terminate the Subservicing Agreement for convenience, subject to Ocwen’s right to receive a termination fee and proper notice. Following the Initial Term, NRZ may extend the term of the Subservicing Agreement for additional three-month periods by providing proper notice. Following the Initial Term, the Subservicing Agreement can be cancelled by Ocwen on an annual basis. NRZ and Ocwen have the ability to terminate the Subservicing Agreement for cause if certain conditions specified in the Subservicing Agreement occur. Until such time as the MSRs are transferred to NRZ, the terms of the existing 2012 and 2013 agreements will remain in force. Under these agreements, the servicing fees payable under the servicing agreements underlying the Rights to MSRs are apportioned between NRZ and us. NRZ retains a fee based on the UPB of the loans serviced, and OLS receives certain fees, including a performance fee based on servicing fees actually paid less an amount calculated based on the amount of servicing advances and cost of financing those advances. In addition, under the July 2017 agreements, NRZ has agreed to a standstill through January 23, 2019, subject to limited exceptions, on exercising rights it would otherwise have under the existing 2012 and 2013 agreements to replace Ocwen as servicer of certain MSRs in the event of a termination event with respect to an affected servicing agreement underlying the MSRs resulting from a servicer rating downgrade. The Rights to MSRs transactions are accounted for as financings. Upon transfer of the MSRs to NRZ in accordance with the July 2017 agreements (which would follow receipt of the necessary third-party consents), we will determine whether the requirements for sale accounting have been met. Until derecognition, we will continue to recognize the MSRs and related financing liability on our consolidated balance sheet as well as the full amount of servicing revenue and changes in the fair value of the MSRs in our consolidated statements of operations.
