Loan Loss Reserve

When a repurchase demand corresponding to a mortgage loan previously held for sale and sold to a third-party investor is received from a third-party investor, the relevant data is reviewed and captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated loss calculation are as follows: (i) lien position, (ii) payment status, (iii) claim type, (iv) unpaid principal balance, (v) interest rate, and (vi) validity of the demand. Other data is captured and is useful for management purposes; the actual estimated loss is generally based on these key factors. The Company conducts its own review upon the receipt of a repurchase demand. In many instances, the Company is able to resolve the issues relating to the repurchase demand by the third-party investor without having to make any payments to the investor.

The Company maintains reserves for estimated losses on current production volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $1,078,812 in reserves were added at a rate of 3.19 basis points per loan, the equivalent of $319 per $1,000,000 in loans originated. This is a decrease over the year ended December 31, 2021, when $2,211,230 in reserves were added at a rate of 3.9 basis points per loan originated, the equivalent of $390 per $1,000,000 in loans originated. In February 2021, SecurityNational Mortgage executed a settlement agreement with Lehman Holdings in relation to two adversary proceedings wherein all mortgage loan related claims were resolved, thereby ending all liabilities asserted by Lehman Holdings and conclusively ending all proceedings between SecurityNational Mortgage and Lehman Holdings. The full amount of SecurityNational Mortgage’s settlement payment was accounted for in the Company’s loan loss reserve as of December 31, 2020 and was paid during the first quarter 2021. The unique nature of COVID-19 creates significant difficulty for forecasting potential future losses. The Company will continue to monitor data and economic conditions in order to maintain adequate loss reserves on current production. Thus, the Company believes that the final loan loss reserve as of December 31, 2022, represents its best estimate for adequate loss reserves on loans sold.
