Mortgage Servicing Rights

11) Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The Company initially records its MSRs at fair value as discussed in Note 8.

 

After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. Amortization expense is included in other expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the MSR balance in proportion to, and over the period of the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

 

The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the asset’s carrying value (carrying value is the amortized cost reduced by any related valuation allowance). If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period earnings and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance.

 

The Company periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in each stratum is impaired and likely to recover. If the Company deems recovery of the value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.

 

The following table presents the MSR activity:

2023

11) Mortgage Servicing Rights (Continued)

 

The table below summarizes the Company’s estimate of future amortization of its existing MSRs carried at amortized cost. This projection was developed using the Company’s assumptions in its September 30, 2024 valuation of MSRs. The assumptions used in the following table are likely to change as market conditions, portfolio composition and borrower behavior change, causing both actual and projected amortization levels to change over time.

 

   Estimated MSR Amortization 
2024   359,390 
2025   309,358 
2026   275,446 
2027   243,362 
2028   216,468 
Thereafter   1,647,781 
Total  $3,051,805 

 

The Company collected the following contractual servicing fee income and late fee income as reported in other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
   Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended
September 30,		 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Contractual servicing fees  $237,531   $249,050   $736,137   $892,668 
Late fees   17,349    21,037    56,637    84,358 
Total  $254,880   $270,087   $792,774   $977,026 

 

The following is a summary of the unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of the servicing portfolio.

 

   As of September 30,
2024		   As of December 31, 2023 
Servicing UPB  $391,681,072   $414,147,436 

 

The following key assumptions were used in determining MSR value:

 

   Prepayment
Speeds		   Average
Life (Years)		   Discount
Rate		 
September 30, 2024   10.60    7.45    11.81 
December 31, 2023   9.70    7.79    11.85
