FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "projects", "estimates", "plans", "may increase", "may fluctuate" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.

You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company", "PHH", "we", "our" or "us" means PHH Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

We are a provider of mortgage, relocation and fleet management services. We operate in the following business segments:

* * *

We continually review and evaluate our portfolio of existing businesses to determine if they continue to meet our business objectives. As part of our ongoing evaluation of such businesses, we intend from time to time to explore and conduct discussions with regard to joint ventures, divestitures and related corporate transactions. However, we can give no assurance with respect to the magnitude, timing, likelihood or financial or business effect of any possible transaction. We also cannot predict whether any divestitures or other transactions will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a financial or other benefit to us. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from any such dispositions and cash from operations to retire indebtedness, make acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.

This 10-K Report includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional factors and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained in this 10-K Report.

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant"). Pursuant to certain covenant requirements in the indentures under which we issue debt, we continue to operate and maintain our status as a separate public reporting entity. Our principal executive office is located at One Campus Drive, Parsippany, N.J. 07054 (telephone number: (973) 428-9700).

SEGMENTS

REAL ESTATE SERVICES SEGMENT (40%, 48% and 97% of revenue for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively)

Mortgage Business (23%, 30% and 47% of revenue for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively)

Cendant Mortgagesm is a centralized mortgage lender conducting business in all 50 states. We focus on retail mortgage originations in which we issue mortgages directly to consumers as opposed to purchasing closed loans from third parties. Our originations are derived from three principal business channels: real estate brokers, financial institutions or "private label" and relocation. In the real estate brokerage channel, we originate, sell and service residential first and second mortgage loans in the United States through Cendant Mortgage Corporation, Century 21 Mortgage®, Coldwell Banker Mortgage and ERA Mortgage. Through this channel, we originated approximately 31% of our mortgages in 2002. Our financial institutions or "private label" channel, which includes outsourcing arrangements with Merrill Lynch Credit Corporation and American Express Centurion Bank, among others, generated approximately 65% of our

4



mortgages in 2002. We believe that we are the largest provider of private label mortgage originations. The relocation channel offers mortgages to employees being relocated through Cendant Mobility and generated 4% of our originations in 2002. We receive fees in connection with our loan originations, mortgage sales and mortgage servicing.

For 2002, Cendant Mortgage was the fourth largest purchase lender of retail originated residential mortgages, the sixth largest retail lender of residential mortgages in the United States and the ninth largest overall mortgage originator.

We market our mortgage products through:

Cendant Mortgage customarily sells all mortgages it originates to investors (which include a variety of institutional investors) generally within an average of 30-60 days, either as individual loans, mortgage-backed securities or participation certificates issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae Corp., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or the Government National Mortgage Association. Approximately 85% of the mortgages that we typically have available for resale conform to the standards of Fannie Mae Corp., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. Cendant Mortgage earns revenue from the sale of the mortgage loans to investors, as well as on the servicing of the loans for investors. Mortgage servicing consists of collecting loan payments, remitting principal and interest payments to investors, holding escrow funds for payment of mortgage related expenses such as taxes and insurance, and administering our mortgage loan servicing portfolio.

Growth.    Our strategy is to increase sales by expanding all of our sources of business with emphasis on our private label program and purchase mortgage volume through our teleservices and Internet programs. Purchase mortgage volume has grown from approximately $1 billion in 1990 to approximately $28.1 billion in 2002. The Phone In, Move In program was developed in 1997 and has been established nationwide. We also expect to expand our volume of mortgage originations resulting from corporate employee relocations through increased linkage with Cendant Mobility and increasing our marketing programs within NRT and our real estate brokerage franchise systems. Each of these growth opportunities is driven by our low cost teleservices platform. The competitive advantage of using a centralized, efficient and high quality teleservices platform allows us to more cost effectively capture a greater percentage of the highly fragmented mortgage marketplace.

Competition.    Competition is based on service, quality, products and price. Cendant Mortgage has increased its share of retail mortgage originations in the United States to 5% in 2002 from 4.4% in 2001. The mortgage industry is highly fragmented and, according to Inside Mortgage Finance, the industry leader for 2002 reported a 16% share in the United States. Competitive conditions can also be impacted by shifts in consumer preference for variable rate mortgages from fixed rate mortgages, depending upon the current interest rate market.

Relocation Business (17%, 18% and 50% of revenue for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively)

Cendant Mobility® is the largest provider of outsourced corporate employee relocation services in the world and assists more than 112,000 affinity customers, transferring employees and global assignees annually, including over 21,000 transferring employees internationally each year in over 120 countries.

We offer corporate and government clients employee relocation services, such as the evaluation, inspection, selling or purchasing of a transferee's home, the issuance of home equity advances to employees permitting them to purchase a new home before selling their current home (these advances are generally guaranteed by the corporate client), certain home management services, assistance in locating a new home, immigration support, intercultural and language training and repatriation counseling. We also provide clients with relocation-related accounting services. Our services allow clients to outsource their relocation programs.

Clients pay a fee for the services performed and/or permit Cendant Mobility to retain referral fees collected from brokers. The majority of our clients pay interest on home equity advances and reimburse all costs associated with our services, including, if necessary, repayment of home equity advances and reimbursement of losses on the sale of homes purchased. This limits our exposure on such items to the credit risk of our corporate clients and not on the potential changes in value of residential real estate. We believe such risk is minimal due to the credit quality of our corporate clients. In addition, the holding period for U.S. homes we purchased in 2002, on behalf of our clients, was 48 days. In transactions where we assume the risk for losses on the sale of homes (primarily U.S. Federal government agency clients), which comprise less than 4% of net revenue for our relocation business, we control all facets of the resale process, thereby limiting our exposure.

Our group move management service provides coordination for moves involving a large number of employees over a short period of time. Our household goods moving service, with over 61,000 shipments annually, provides support for all aspects of moving an employee's household goods. We also handle insurance and claim assistance, invoice auditing and quality control of van line, driver and overall service.

Our affinity services provide real estate and relocation services, including home buying and selling assistance, as well as mortgage assistance and moving services, to organizations, such as insurance and airline companies that have established members. Often these organizations offer our affinity services to their members at no cost. This service helps the organizations attract new members and retain current members. Personal assistance is provided to over 58,000 individuals, with approximately 27,000 real estate transactions annually.

Growth.    Our strategy is to grow by generating business from corporations and U.S. Federal government agencies seeking to outsource their relocation function due to downsizing, cost containment initiatives and increased need for expense tracking. This strategy includes expanding our business as a lower cost provider by focusing on operational improvements and collecting fees from our supplier partners to whom we refer business. We also seek to grow our affinity services business by increasing the number of accounts as well as through higher penetration of existing accounts.

Competition.    Competition is based on service, quality and price. We are a leader in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia/Southeast Asia for outsourced relocations. In the United States, we compete with in-house relocation solutions and with numerous providers of outsourced relocation services, the largest of which is Prudential Relocation Management. Internationally, we compete with in-house solutions, local relocation providers and the international accounting firms.

Real Estate Services Seasonality

The principal sources of revenue for our mortgage business are based upon the timing of residential real estate sales, which are generally lower in the first calendar quarter each year. The principal sources of

6



revenue for our relocation business are based upon the timing of transferee moves, which are generally lower in the first and last quarter of each year.

Real Estate Services Trademarks and Intellectual Property

The trademarks "Cendant Mortgage" and "Cendant Mobility" and related trademarks and logos are material to our mortgage and relocation businesses, respectively. Our subsidiaries in our real estate services business actively use these marks and all of the material marks are registered (or have applications pending for registration) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as well as major countries worldwide where these businesses have significant operations and are owned by us.

Real Estate Services Employees

The businesses that make up our Real Estate Services segment employed approximately 9,000 persons as of December 31, 2002.

FLEET MANAGEMENT SERVICES (60% and 49% of revenue for 2002 and 2001, respectively)

Through our acquisition of Avis Group Holdings in March 2001, we acquired a portion of the fleet management business we had previously sold to Avis in June 1999. As a result, we generated no revenue in this business in 2000. PHH Vehicle Management Services LLC (d/b/a PHH Arval), the second largest provider of outsourced fleet management services, and Wright Express LLC, the largest proprietary fleet card service provider in the United States comprise our fleet management services business.

We provide corporate clients and government agencies the following services and products for which we are generally paid a monthly fee:

Growth.    We intend to focus our efforts for growth on the large fleet segment and middle market fleets as well as fee based services to new and existing clients. We also intend to increase the cross marketing of products offered by Wright Express and PHH Arval to our customers.

Competition.    The principal factors for competition in vehicle management services are service, quality and price. We are competitively positioned as a fully integrated provider of fleet management services with a broad range of product offerings. Among providers of outsourced fleet management services, we rank second in North America in the number of leased vehicles under management and first in the number of proprietary fuel and maintenance cards for fleet use in circulation. There are four other major providers of comprehensive outsourced fleet management services in the United States, GE Capital Fleet Services, Wheels Inc. Automotive Resources International (ARI), and CitiCapital, hundreds of local and regional competitors, and numerous competitors who focus on one or two products. In the United States, it is estimated that only 52% of fleets are leased by third-party providers. The unpenetrated demand and the continued focus by corporations on cost efficiency and outsourcing will provide the growth platform in the future.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property

The service marks "Wright Express," "WEX," "PHH" and related trademarks and logos are material to our fleet services business. Wright Express, PHH Arval and their licensees actively use these marks. All of the material marks used by Wright Express and PHH Arval are registered (or have applications pending for registration) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. All of the material marks used by PHH Arval are also registered in major countries throughout the world where the fleet management services are offered by Arval PHH. We own the marks used in Wright Express' and PHH Arval's business.

Seasonality

The fleet management services businesses are generally not seasonal.

Fleet Management Employees

The businesses that make up our Fleet Management Services segment employed approximately 1,900 persons as of December 31, 2002.

GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

Financial data for geographic segments are reported in Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

REGULATION

Real Estate Regulation.    The federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") and state real estate brokerage laws restrict payments which mortgage brokers and other parties may receive or pay in connection with the sales of residences and referral of settlement services (e.g., mortgages, homeowners insurance, title insurance). Such laws may to some extent restrict preferred alliance arrangements involving our mortgage business and relocation business. Our mortgage business is also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those relating to real estate settlement procedures, fair lending, fair credit reporting, truth in lending, federal and state disclosure and licensing. Currently, there are local efforts in certain states, which could limit referral fees to our relocation business.

It is a common practice for online mortgage and real estate related companies to enter into advertising, marketing and distribution arrangements with other Internet companies and Web sites, whereby the mortgage and real estate related companies pay fees for advertising, marketing and distribution services and other goods and facilities. The applicability of RESPA's referral fee prohibitions to the compensation provisions of these arrangements is unclear and the Department of Housing and Urban Development has provided no guidance to date on the subject.

Internet Regulation.    Although our business units' operations on the Internet are not currently regulated by any government agency in the United States beyond regulations discussed above and applicable to businesses generally, it is likely that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted governing the Internet. In addition, existing laws may be interpreted to apply to the Internet in ways not currently applied. Regulatory and legal requirements are subject to change and may become more restrictive, making our business units' compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise restricting their ability to conduct their businesses as they are now conducted.

Fleet Leasing Regulation.    We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations including those relating to taxing and licensing of vehicles.

Our fleet leasing businesses could be liable for damages in connection with motor vehicle accidents under the theory of vicarious liability. Under this theory, companies that lease motor vehicles may be subject to liability for the tortuous acts of their lessees, even in situations where the leasing company has not been negligent and there is no product defect involved.

Wright Express Financial Services Corporation is subject to a variety of state and federal laws and regulations applicable to FDIC-insured, state-chartered financial institutions.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2002, we employed approximately 11,000 people. Management considers our employee relations to be satisfactory.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located in leased space at One Campus Drive, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

Our relocation business has its main corporate operations in two leased buildings in Danbury, Connecticut with lease terms expiring in 2005 and 2008. There are also five regional offices located in Mission Viejo and Walnut Creek, California; Chicago, Illinois; Irving, Texas and Bethesda, Maryland, which provide operation support services. We own the facility in Mission Viejo and operate the other facilities referred to in the preceding sentence pursuant to leases that expire in 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2003, respectively. International offices are located in Swindon and Hammersmith, United Kingdom; Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia; Hong Kong and Singapore pursuant to leases that expire in 2017, 2012, 2005, 2003, 2003 and 2003, respectively.

Our mortgage business has centralized its operations to one main area occupying various leased offices in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey for a total of approximately 855,000 square feet. The lease terms expire over the next five years, with one lease expiring in 2022. Our mortgage business has recently entered into a lease for a new building which was completed and occupied in the beginning of 2003. The new lease is for 175,000 square feet and expires in 2013. Regional sales offices are located in Englewood, Colorado; Jacksonville, Florida and Santa Monica, California, pursuant to leases that expire in 2003, 2005 and 2005, respectively.

PHH Arval leases office space and marketing centers in seven locations in the United States and Canada, with approximately 88,000 square feet in the aggregate. PHH Arval maintains a 200,000 square foot headquarters office in Hunt Valley, Maryland. In addition, Wright Express leases approximately 180,000 square feet of office space in two domestic locations.

We believe that such properties are sufficient to meet our present needs and we do not anticipate any difficulty in securing additional space, as needed, on acceptable terms.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

After the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of accounting irregularities in the former CUC business units, and prior to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be class actions and other proceedings were commenced against Cendant and other defendants. Cendant has settled the principal securities class action pending against it and such settlement was fully funded by Cendant on May 24, 2002.

Cendant is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with the accounting irregularities discovered in former CUC business units outside of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. Cendant cannot give any assurance as to the final outcome or resolution of these proceedings. However, Cendant does not believe that the impact of such proceedings should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity.

In presenting the financial data above in conformity with general accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. See "Critical Accounting Policies" under Item 7 included elsewhere herein for a detailed discussion of the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.

During 2001, we completed the acquisition of the fleet businesses of Avis Group Holdings, Inc., which materially impacted our results of operations and financial position. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of such acquisitions and the pro forma impact thereof on our results of operations. Additionally, during 2002 we adopted the non-amortization provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Accordingly, our results of operations for 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 reflect the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, while our results of operations for 2002 do not reflect such amortization. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a pro forma disclosure depicting our results of operations during 2001 and 2000 after applying the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax includes the after tax results of discontinued operations and the gain (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Business Section and our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions and those relating to our results of operations are presented before taxes.

We are a provider of mortgage, relocation and fleet management services. Our Real Estate Services segment provides home buyers with mortgages and facilitates employee relocations and our Fleet Management Services segment provides fleet management and fuel card services to corporate clients and government agencies.

We continually review and evaluate our portfolio of existing businesses to determine if they continue to meet our business objectives. As part of our ongoing evaluation of such businesses, we intend from time to time to explore and conduct discussions with regard to joint ventures, divestitures and related corporate transactions. However, we can give no assurance with respect to the magnitude, timing, likelihood or financial or business effect of any possible transaction. We also cannot predict whether any divestitures or other transactions will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a financial or other benefit to us. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from any such dispositions and cash from operations to retire indebtedness, make acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it will likely result in a material adverse impact to our consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we are paid a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.

Mortgage Servicing Rights.    A mortgage servicing right ("MSR") is the right to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagor for performing specified mortgage servicing activities. The value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated based upon an internal valuation that reflects management's estimates of expected future cash flows considering prepayment estimates (developed using a third party model described below), our historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves and other economic factors. More specifically, we incorporate an Option Adjusted Spread ("OAS") model to generate and discount cash flows for the MSR valuation. The OAS model generates numerous interest rate paths then calculates the MSR cash flow at each monthly point for each interest rate path and discounts those cash flows back to the current period. The MSR value is determined by averaging the discounted cash flows from each of the interest rate paths. The interest rate paths are generated with a random distribution centered around implied forward interest rates which are determined from the interest rate yield curve at any given point of time. As of December 31, 2002, the implied forward interest rates project an increase of approximately 50 basis points in the yield of the 10-year Treasury Note over the next 12 months. Changes in the yield curve will result in changes to the forward rates implied from that yield curve.

12



As noted above, a key assumption in our estimate of the MSR valuation is forecasted prepayments. We use a third party model, adjusted to reflect the historical prepayment behavior exhibited by our portfolio, to forecast prepayment rates at each monthly point for each interest rate path in the OAS model. The prepayment forecast is based on historical observations of prepayment behavior in similar periods of refinance incentive. The prepayment forecast incorporates loan characteristics (e.g., loan type and note rate) and factors such as recent prepayment experience, previous refinance opportunities and estimated levels of home equity to determine the prepayment forecast at each monthly point for each interest rate path.

To the extent that fair value is less than carrying value, we would consider the portfolio to have been impaired and record a related charge. Reductions in interest rates different than those predicted in our models could cause us to use different assumptions in the MSR valuation, which could result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of our MSR asset, requiring a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of the asset. To mitigate this risk, we use derivatives that generally increase in value as interest rates decline and conversely decline in value as interest rates increase. Additionally, as interest rates are reduced, we have historically experienced a greater level of refinancings, which has historically mitigated the impact on earnings of the decline in our MSR asset.

Changes in the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights based upon variations in the assumptions (e.g., future interest rate levels, prepayment speeds) cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Changes in one assumption may result in changes to another, which may magnify or counteract the fair value sensitivity analysis and would make such an analysis not meaningful. Additionally, further declines in interest rates due to a weakening economy and geopolitical risks, which result in an increase in refinancing activity or change in the methodology of valuing our MSR asset, could adversely impact the valuation. The carrying value of our MSR asset was approximately $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2002 and the total portfolio that we were servicing approximated $115.8 billion as of December 31, 2002 (refer to Note 8—Mortgage Servicing Activities to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the effect of any changes to the value of this asset during 2002 and 2001). The effects of any adverse potential changes in the estimated fair value of our MSR asset are detailed in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Retained Interests from Securitizations.    We sell a significant portion of our residential mortgage loans and relocation receivables as part of our overall financing and liquidity strategy. We retain the servicing rights and, in some instances, subordinated residual interests in the mortgage loans and relocation receivables. With the exception of specific mortgage loans that are sold with recourse, the investors have no recourse to our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. Gains or losses relating to the assets securitized are allocated between such assets and the retained interests based on their relative fair values on the date of sale. We estimate fair value of the retained interests based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, which is subject to the prepayment risks, expected credit losses and interest rate risks of the sold financial assets.

Changes in the estimated fair value of the retained interests based upon variations in the assumptions (e.g., prepayment risks, expected credit losses and interest rate risks) cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Changes in one assumption may result in changes to another, which may magnify or counteract the fair value sensitivity analysis and would make such an analysis not meaningful. The carrying value of our retained interests was approximately $1.6 billion at December 31, 2002, of which approximately $1.4 billion represented our mortgage servicing rights asset that was retained upon the sale of the underlying mortgage loans, as described above under "Mortgage Servicing Rights." The effects of any adverse potential changes in the estimated fair value of our retained interests are detailed in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

13



Financial Instruments.    We estimate fair values for each of our financial instruments, including derivative instruments. Most of these financial instruments are not publicly traded on an organized exchange. In the absence of quoted market prices, we must develop an estimate of fair value using dealer quotes, present value cash flow models, option pricing models or other conventional valuation methods, as appropriate. The use of these fair value techniques involves significant judgments and assumptions, including estimates of future interest rate levels based on interest rate yield curves, prepayment and volatility factors, and an estimation of the timing of future cash flows. The use of different assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts recorded in the financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, hedge accounting requires that at the beginning of each hedge period, we justify an expectation that the relationship between the changes in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges compared to changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged items be highly effective. This effectiveness assessment involves an estimation of changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and corresponding changes in prepayment levels, as well as the probability of the occurrence of transactions for cash flow hedges. The use of different assumptions and changing market conditions may impact the results of the effectiveness assessment and ultimately the timing of when changes in derivative fair values and the underlying hedged items are recorded in earnings. See Item 7a. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" for a discussion of the effect of hypothetical changes to these assumptions.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.    We have reviewed the carrying values of our goodwill and other intangible assets as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," by comparing the carrying values of our reporting units to their fair values and determined that the carrying amounts of our reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values. When determining fair value, we utilized various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows. A change in these underlying assumptions will cause a change in the results of the tests and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the respective carrying amounts. In such event, we would then be required to record a charge, which would impact earnings. We will continue to review the carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

The magnitude of an impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets, if any, cannot be extrapolated. However, our businesses are concentrated in a few industries and, as such, an adverse change to any of these industries will impact our consolidated results and may result in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The aggregate carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets was approximately $738 million at December 31, 2002, of which $682 million represented goodwill, $17 million represented indefinite-lived intangible assets and $39 million represented intangible assets with finite lives (refer to Note 6—Intangible Assets to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill and other intangible assets).


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussed below are the operating results for each of our segments, which focus on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before income taxes, non-program related depreciation and amortization and minority interest. Such measure is then adjusted to exclude items that are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and are also not measured in assessing segment performance. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", our management believes such discussions are the most informative representation of how management evaluates performance. However, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with

similar measures used by other companies. The footnotes to the table presented below describe the items that have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Real Estate Services

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $256 million (21%) and $367 million (76%), respectively, during 2002.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 were negatively impacted by a $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of our mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") asset, which is the value of expected future cash flows. As noted above in "Critical Accounting Policies," the valuation of our MSR asset is generated by numerous estimates and assumptions, the most noteworthy being future prepayment rates, which represent the borrowers' propensity to refinance their mortgage. Today's mortgage industry enables homeowners to more easily refinance than they could in the past, producing a change in consumer behavior that results in a greater likelihood to refinance in periods of declining interest rates, as experienced in the third quarter of 2002. During such period, interest rates on ten-year Treasury notes and 30-year mortgages declined by 120 basis points and 80 basis points, respectively, which resulted in the lowest interest rate levels in 41 years. As a result, we recognized that the steep declines in interest rates experienced throughout the quarter and the related impact on current borrower prepayment behavior necessitated an increase in our estimate of future prepayment rates. Therefore, we updated the third party model we use to value our

15



MSR asset to one that had recently become available in the marketplace, and revised our assumptions in order to better reflect more current borrower prepayment behavior. The combination of these factors resulted in increases to our estimated future loan prepayment rates, which negatively impacted the value of our MSR asset, hence requiring the provision for impairment of our MSR asset. Further declines in interest rates due to a weakening economy and geopolitical risks, which result in an increase in refinancing activity or changes in the methodology of valuing our MSR asset, could adversely impact the valuation.

Excluding the $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of MSRs, revenues from mortgage-related activities increased $11 million in 2002 compared with 2001 as revenue growth from mortgage production was principally offset by a decline in net revenues from mortgage servicing activities. Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $211 million (32%) in 2002 compared with the prior year due to substantial growth in our outsourced mortgage origination and broker business (explained below) and a 6% increase in the volume of loans that we packaged and securitized (sold by us). In 2002, revenues generated from our fee-based outsourcing and broker origination business grew at a faster rate than revenues generated from packaging and selling mortgage loans to the secondary market ourselves. Production fee income on outsourced and brokered loans is generated at the time of closing, whereas originated mortgage loans held for sale generate revenues at the time of sale (typically 30-60 days after closing). Accordingly, our production revenue is now driven by more of a mix in both mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold (as opposed to just loans sold). Production loans sold increased $2.1 billion (6%), generating incremental production revenues of $83 million. Mortgage loans closed increased $13.8 billion (31%) to $58.3 billion, comprised of a $13.0 billion (191%) increase in closed loans which were outsourced or brokered, and a $750 million (2%) increase in closed loans to be securitized. The increase in outsourced and brokered loan volume contributed incremental production revenues of $128 million in 2002 compared with 2001. Purchase mortgage closings grew 12% to $28.1 billion, and refinancings increased 56% to $30.2 billion. Additionally, in connection with our securitized loans we realized an increase in margin, which is consistent with the mortgage industry operating at a higher percentage of loan production capacity.

Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans declined $199 million, excluding the $275 million non-cash provision of MSRs. However, recurring servicing fees (fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolio) increased $59 million (17%) primarily due to a 20% year-over-year increase in the average servicing portfolio. Such recurring activity was more than offset by $361 million of increased mortgage servicing rights amortization and valuation adjustments due to the high levels of refinancings and related loan prepayments, resulting from the lower interest rate environment, partially offset by $112 million of incremental net gains from hedging and other derivative activities to protect against changes in the fair value of MSR's due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of this segment were also impacted by an increase in revenues generated from our title and appraisal business, which was substantially offset by a reduction in revenue generated from relocation activities as a result of a decline in relocation-related homesale activity and lower interest rates charged to our clients. Operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased $110 million. Higher expenses incurred to operate the mortgage business to support the continued high levels of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities were partially offset by a reduction in relocation-related costs, adjusting to a weaker corporate spending environment.

On December 31, 2002, we distributed, in the form of a dividend, our title and appraisal service businesses to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure. Accordingly, beginning on January 1, 2003, the results of the title and appraisal service businesses will no longer impact our consolidated results of operations.

16



Fleet Management

Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $214 million (17%) and $28 million (37%), respectively, during 2002.

The businesses comprising this segment were acquired in the March 2001 acquisition of the fleet management and service operations of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. (the car rental operations of Avis are owned by a Cendant subsidiary not within our ownership structure). Accordingly, the revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2001 only include ten months of results (March through December). The acquisition of the fleet businesses contributed incremental revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 of $239 million and $16 million, respectively. On a comparable basis, post acquisition (ten months ended December 31, 2002 versus the comparable prior year period), revenues decreased by $25 million, while Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12 million. Principally driving these year-over-year changes on a comparable basis are lower interest revenues offset by lower interest expense on vehicle funding, which is substantially passed through to clients and therefore results in lower revenues but has minimal Adjusted EBITDA impact. This was partially offset by an increase in depreciation on leased vehicles, which is also passed through to clients. Adjusted EBITDA also benefited from cost reductions resulting primarily from restructuring actions undertaken during fourth quarter 2001.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We purchase assets or finance the purchase of assets on behalf of our clients. Assets generated in this process are classified as assets under management and mortgage programs. We seek to offset the interest rate exposures inherent in these assets by matching them with financial liabilities that have similar term and interest rate characteristics. As a result, we minimize the interest rate risk associated with managing these assets and create greater certainty around the financial income that they produce. Fees generated from our clients are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Funding for our assets under management and mortgage programs is also provided by both unsecured borrowings and secured financing arrangements, which are classified as liabilities under management and mortgage programs, as well as securitization facilities with special purpose entities. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our management and mortgage programs. Our finance activities vary from the rest of our businesses based upon the impact of the relative business and financial risks and asset attributes, as well as the nature and timing associated with the respective cash flows. Accordingly, we believe that it is appropriate to segregate our assets under management and mortgage programs and our liabilities under management and mortgage programs separately from the assets and liabilities of the rest of our businesses because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such liabilities is the realization of such assets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets exclusive of assets under management and mortgage programs   $ 2,174   $ 2,048   $ 126

Liabilities under management and mortgage programs     7,161     6,794     367  
Stockholder's equity     1,951     1,777     174  

Total assets exclusive of assets under management and mortgage programs increased primarily due to the recognition as an asset of mortgage loans previously sold to the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") that we now have the option to repurchase according to the terms of the underlying

17



servicing agreements because of their delinquency status. Such increase was partially offset by a decrease in cash (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flows" below for a detailed discussion of such reduction).

Assets under management and mortgage programs increased primarily due to an increase of $620 million in mortgage loans held for sale primarily due to timing differences arising between the origination and sales of such loans. Such increase was partially offset by a net reduction of $272 million to our mortgage servicing rights asset (including the related derivatives) due to valuation adjustments and related amortization, net of additions.

Liabilities exclusive of liabilities under management and mortgage programs decreased primarily due to a decrease in deferred income generated by our mortgage services business.

Liabilities under management and mortgage programs increased primarily due to issuances of debt during 2002 to finance the growth in our portfolio of assets under management and mortgage programs, as discussed above (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Outstanding Debt Related to Management and Mortgage Programs" for a detailed description of the change in debt related to management and mortgage programs).

Stockholder's equity increased primarily due to $98 million of net income generated during 2002 and a capital contribution of $125 million from Cendant principally to support the reduction in cash flows generated by financing activities (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flows").

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing activities, as well as available credit and securitization facilities, each of which is discussed below.

CASH FLOWS

At December 31, 2002, we had $30 million of cash on hand, a decrease of approximately $102 million from approximately $132 million at December 31, 2001.

The following table summarizes such decrease:

Net change in cash and cash equivalents   $ (102 ) $ (156 ) $ 54  
   
 
 
 

During 2002, we used $832 million less cash for investing activities primarily due to the absence in 2002 of $937 million of payment made to fund the acquisition of Avis. We generated $846 million less cash from financing activities during 2002 primarily due to a net increase of $729 million in borrowings repaid during 2002.

Capital expenditures during 2002 amounted to $57 million and were utilized to support operational growth, enhance marketing opportunities and develop operating efficiencies through technological improvements. We anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments during 2003 of approximately $65 million.

(a)
Approximately $2.1 billion of term notes outstanding under this program as of December 31, 2002 were rated AAA and Aaa by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, respectively.

Our debt related to management and mortgage programs increased $400 million due to (i) the net issuance of $125 million of term notes under our vehicle management program, (ii) a net increase of $371 million primarily related to additional borrowings under our mortgage warehouse facilities within our mortgage program, (iii) $80 million of borrowings under our new relocation program and (iv) the net issuance of $742 million of unsecured term notes. Such amounts were partially offset by (i) the repayment during 2002 of $750 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and (ii) other net repayments of $168 million. The significant terms for our outstanding debt instruments at December 31, 2002 can be found in Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables provide, for debt under management and mortgage programs, the contractual final maturities and our estimates of amortization of the corresponding assets under management and mortgage programs as service for such debt can generally be provided from the liquidation of such assets:

Unsecured commercial paper borrowings of $750 million and $116 million are assumed to be repaid with borrowings under our committed credit facilities expiring in 2005 and 2004, respectively, as such amounts are fully supported by our committed credit facilities, which are described below.

19


Subsequent to December 31, 2002, we issued $1.0 billion of unsecured term notes for net proceeds of $988 million, of which $600 million will mature in March 2013 and bear interest at 7.125% and $400 million will mature in March 2008 and bear interest at 6%. We used the proceeds from these notes to repay outstanding commercial paper.

Capacity is subject to maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize debt.

Any borrowings under our two $750 million credit facilities maturing in February 2004 and 2005 will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin currently approximating 72.5 basis points. In addition, we will also be required to pay a per annum facility fee of approximately 15 basis points under these facilities and a per annum utilization fee of approximately 25 basis points if usage under the facilities exceeds 25% of aggregate commitments. In the event that the credit ratings assigned to us by nationally recognized debt rating agencies are downgraded to a level below our ratings as of December 31, 2002, the interest rate and facility fees on these facilities are subject to incremental upward adjustments of approximately 22.5 basis points. In the event that the credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade, the interest rate and facility fees are subject to further upward adjustments of approximately 65 basis points.

We also currently have $1 billion of availability for public debt issuances under shelf registration statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

In addition to our on-balance sheet borrowings and available credit facilities, as part of our overall financing and liquidity strategy, we sell specific assets under management and mortgage programs generated or acquired in the normal course of business. We sell relocation receivables to Apple Ridge Funding LLC, a bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose entity, in exchange for cash. Additionally, we sell mortgage loans originated by our mortgage business into the secondary market, which is customary practice in the mortgage industry. Such mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market primarily through one of the following means: (i) the direct sale to a government-sponsored entity, (ii) through capacity under a subsidiary's public registration statement (which approximated $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2002) or (iii) through Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust, an unaffiliated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity.

20



We utilize the Apple Ridge and Bishop's Gate special purpose entities because they are highly efficient for the sale or financing of assets and represent conventional practice in the finance industry. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for our accounting policy regarding the sale of assets to off-balance sheet entities. None of our or Cendant's affiliates, officers, directors or employees hold any equity interest in any of these special purpose entities, nor do we or our affiliates, or Cendant or its affiliates, provide any financial support or financial guarantee arrangements to these special purpose entities. None of our or Cendant's affiliates, officers, directors or employees receive any remuneration from any of these special purpose entities.

(b)
Subject to maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize debt.

(c)
Represents annual servicing fees we receive on the outstanding balance of the transferred assets.

(d)
The equity of Bishop's Gate (currently in excess of 4%) is held by independent third parties who bear the credit risk of the assets. Bishop's Gate has entered into swaps with several banks, the net effect of which is that the banks have agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by Bishop's Gate. Additionally, PHH has entered into separate corresponding swaps with the banks, the net effect of which is that PHH has agreed to bear the interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by Bishop's Gate assumed by the banks under their swap with Bishop's Gate. We in turn offset the interest rate risks associated with the swaps by entering into forward delivery contracts for mortgage-backed securities. Both the swaps and the forward delivery commitments are derivatives under SFAS No. 133 and are recorded at fair value through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value and changes in fair value of the swaps and forward delivery commitments have substantially offsetting effects. In connection with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (discussed below in "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements"), we expect to consolidate Bishop's Gate in our financial statements as of July 1, 2003.

(e)
Includes our ability to fund assets with $148 million of outside equity certificates.

The receivables and mortgage loans transferred to these special purpose entities, as well as the mortgage loans sold to the secondary market through other means, are generally non-recourse to us.

We also sell interests in operating leases and the underlying vehicles to two independent Canadian third parties. We repurchase the leased vehicles and then lease such vehicles under direct financing leases to the Canadian third parties. The Canadian third parties retain the lease rights and prepay all the lease payments except for an agreed upon amount, which is typically 8% of the total lease payments. The amounts not prepaid represent our only exposure in connection with these transactions. The total subordinated interest under these leasing arrangements, as recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2002 and 2001, were $22 million and $21 million, respectively. We recognized $6 million and $7 million of net revenues related to these securitizations during 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Liquidity Risk

Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in any one of the industries in which we operate, as we may not have the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities due to those unfavorable conditions. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to both management and mortgage programs could be adversely affected by a deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs. Our liquidity as it relates to mortgage programs is highly dependent on the

21



secondary markets for mortgage loans. Access to certain of our securitization facilities and our ability to act as servicer thereto also may be limited in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade and, in certain circumstances, where we fail to meet certain financial ratios. However, we do not believe that our credit ratings are likely to fall below such thresholds. Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of these financial ratios and as of December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities. When securitizing assets under management and mortgage programs, we make representations and warranties customary to the securitization markets, including eligibility characteristics of the assets transferred and servicing responsibilities.

Currently our credit ratings are as follows:

 
  Moody's
Investors
Service

  Standard &
Poor's

  Fitch
Senior debt(a)   Baa1   BBB+   BBB+
Short-term debt   P-2   A-2   F-2

(a)
Currently on negative outlook.

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.    On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," in its entirety. In connection with the adoption of this standard, we have not amortized any goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during 2002. Prior to the adoption, all intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated periods to be benefited. Therefore, the results of operations for 2001 and 2000 reflect the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, while the results of operations for 2002 do not reflect such amortization (see Note 6—Intangible Assets to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a pro forma disclosure depicting our results of operations during 2001 and 2000 after applying the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142).

In connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 142, we were required to assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. We reviewed the carrying value of our reporting units by comparing such amounts to their fair value and determined that the carrying value of our reporting units

22



did not exceed their respective fair values. Accordingly, the initial implementation of this standard and the annual testing did not result in a charge and, as such, did not impact our results of operations during 2002.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.    On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This standard supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and replaces the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," as it relates to the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires the use of a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, by requiring those long-lived assets to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The impairment recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121 were retained for all long-lived assets to be held and used with the exception of goodwill.

Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.    On January 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." Prior to the adoption of EITF Issue No. 99-20, we accounted for impairment of beneficial interests in securitizations in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and EITF Issue No. 93-18, "Recognition of Impairment for an Investment in a Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Instrument or in a Mortgage-Backed Interest-Only Certificate." EITF Issue No. 99-20 modified the accounting for interest income and impairment of beneficial interests in securitization transactions, whereby beneficial interests determined to have an other-than-temporary impairment are required to be written down to fair value. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 99-20 resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $46 million ($27 million, after tax) in first quarter 2001 to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.    On January 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, we have recorded all such derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $13 million ($8 million, after tax) in the Consolidated Statement of Income on January 1, 2001 to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change relating to derivatives designated in fair value type hedges prior to adopting this standard, to derivatives not designated as hedges and to certain embedded derivatives. As provided for in SFAS No. 133, we also reclassified certain financial investments as trading securities at January 1, 2001, which resulted in a pre-tax net benefit of $82 million recorded in other revenues within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.    On April 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" in its entirety. This standard revised the criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial asset transfers and collateral and introduced new disclosures, but otherwise carried forward most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" without amendment. The impact of adopting the remaining provisions of this standard was not material to our financial position or results of operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.    In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Such standard requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities (including restructurings) to be recognized when the costs are incurred, rather than at

23


a date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under SFAS No. 146, a liability related to an exit or disposal activity is not recognized until such liability has actually been incurred whereas under EITF Issue No. 94-3 a liability was recognized at the time of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of this standard are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2003, as required.

Guarantees.    In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Such Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation apply to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We will adopt these provisions on January 1, 2003. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation are effective for financial statements with annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. We have applied the disclosure provisions of this Interpretation as of December 31, 2002, as required by this Interpretation (see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Stock-Based Compensation.    On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." This standard amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This standard also requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We have applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a table that illustrates the effect on net income if the fair value based method had been applied during each period presented.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, during 2002, we measured stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, we did not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of CD common stock options because the option terms were fixed and the exercise price equaled the market price of the underlying CD common stock on the grant date. We complied with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 by providing pro forma disclosures of net income giving consideration to the fair value method provisions of SFAS No. 123.

On January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of SFAS No. 123, which is considered by the FASB to be the preferable accounting method for stock-based employee compensation, and have elected to use the prospective method permitted by SFAS No. 148. Therefore, the transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 will be adopted concurrently with the fair value based recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003. Subsequently, we will expense all future employee stock awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant in accordance with the prospective transition method.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.    On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Such Interpretation addresses consolidation of entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. These entities have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities. The Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also provides guidance related to the initial and subsequent measurement of assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests in newly consolidated variable interest

24



entities and requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and other beneficiaries of the entity.

For variable interests entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, subsequent to January 31, 2003, we are required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately. To date, we have not created a variable interest entity nor obtained an interest in a variable interest entity for which we would be required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately.

For variable interest entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, on or before January 31, 2003, the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are first required to be applied in our financial statements as of July 1, 2003. For these variable interest entities, we expect to apply the prospective transition method whereby the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment, if necessary, as of July 1, 2003. This Interpretation also requires certain disclosures herein if it is reasonably possible that we will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity when we initially apply the guidance in this Interpretation. We have applied the disclosure provisions of this Interpretation as of December 31, 2002.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Interpretation. We have concluded that the adoption of this Interpretation will result in the consolidation of the mortgage securitization facility, Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust ("Bishop's Gate"), as of July 1, 2003. The consolidation is not expected to affect our results of operations. However, had we consolidated Bishop's Gate as of December 31, 2002, our total assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs would have increased by approximately $2.5 billion each. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the Bishop's Gate mortgage securitization facility.


ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We use various financial instruments, particularly swap contracts, forward delivery commitments and futures and options contracts to manage and reduce the interest rate risk related specifically to our committed mortgage pipeline, mortgage loan inventory, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage-backed securities, debt and certain other interest bearing liabilities. Foreign currency forwards are also used to manage and reduce the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and forecasted royalties, forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and forecasted foreign currency denominated acquisitions.

We are exclusively an end user of these instruments, which are commonly referred to as derivatives. We do not engage in trading, market-making, or other speculative activities in the derivatives markets. More detailed information about these financial instruments is provided in Note 17—Financial Instruments to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our principal market exposures are interest and foreign currency rate risks.

25


We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest and currency rates.

We use a discounted cash flow model in determining the fair values of relocation receivables, equity advances on homes, mortgage loans, commitments to fund mortgages, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage-backed securities and our retained interests in securitized assets. The primary assumptions used in these models are prepayment speeds, estimated loss rates, and discount rates. In determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage-backed securities, the models also utilize credit losses and mortgage servicing revenues and expenses as primary assumptions. In addition, for commitments to fund mortgages, the borrower's propensity to close their mortgage loan under the commitment is used as a primary assumption. For mortgage loans, commitments to fund mortgages, forward delivery contracts and options, we rely on prices sourced from Bloomberg in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. We also utilize an option-adjusted spread ("OAS") model to determine the impact of interest rate shifts on mortgage servicing rights and mortgage-backed securities. The primary assumption in an OAS model is the implied market volatility of interest rates and prepayment speeds and the same primary assumptions are used in determining fair value.

We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our debt portfolio, certain other interest bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The primary assumption used in these models is that a 10% increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.

We use a current market pricing model to assess the changes in the value of the U.S. dollar on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and derivatives. The primary assumption used in these models is a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all our currency exposures at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including the volatility present within the markets and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented. While probably the most meaningful analysis, these "shock tests" are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

We used December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analyses separately for each of our market risk exposures—interest and currency rate instruments. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates.

We have determined that the impact of a 10% change in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our fair values and cash flows would not be material. The potential loss in earnings resulting from the impact of a 10% increase and decrease in interest rates was approximately $58 million and $10 million, respectively. While these results may be used as benchmarks, they should not be viewed as forecasts.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of PHH Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholder's equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. Also, as discussed in Note 1, on January 1, 2001, the Company modified the accounting treatment relating to securitization transactions and the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.

  Bishop's Gate(d)     2,302     3,223 (e)   2,351     724   .37 %

(a)
Does not include cash of $11 million and $195 million at Apple Ridge and Bishop's Gate, respectively.

(b)
Subject to maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize debt.

(c)
Represents annual servicing fees the Company receives on the outstanding balance of the transferred assets.

(d)
The equity of Bishop's Gate (currently in excess of 4%) is held by independent third parties who bear the credit risk of the assets. Bishop's Gate has entered into swaps with several banks, the net effect of which is that the banks have agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by Bishop's Gate. Additionally, the Company has entered into separate corresponding swaps with the banks, the net effect of which is that the Company has agreed to bear the interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by Bishop's Gate assumed by the banks under their swap with Bishop's Gate. The Company in turn offsets the interest rate risks associated with the swaps by entering into forward delivery contracts for mortgage-backed securities. Both the swaps and the forward delivery commitments are derivatives under SFAS No. 133 and are recorded at fair value through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value and changes in fair value of the swaps and forward delivery commitments have substantially offsetting effects. As discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company expects to consolidate Bishop's Gate in its financial statements as of July 1, 2003, as required by FASB Interpretation No. 46.

(e)
Includes the Company's ability to fund assets with $148 million of outside equity certificates.
