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:

1


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—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements


INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
PHH Corporation
Parsippany, New Jersey

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, as of September 30, 2003, the related consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 5, 2003 (February 13, 2003 as to the subsequent event described in Note 20), we expressed an unqualified opinion (and included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets and the modification of the accounting treatment relating to securitization transactions and the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.

We are a provider of relocation, mortgage and fleet management services. Our Real Estate Services segment provides homebuyers 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.

Effective July 1, 2003, we consolidated Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The consolidation of Bishop's Gate caused our total assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs to increase by $3.1 billion each. There was no impact to our results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as net income (loss) before non-program related depreciation and amortization, income taxes and minority interest. On January 1, 2003, we changed the performance measure we use to evaluate the operating results of our reportable segments and, as such, the information presented below for third quarter 2002 has been revised to reflect this change. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

(a)
Revenues and EBITDA for 2002 reflect a $275 million provision for impairment of our mortgage servicing rights asset, which is discussed in greater detail below.
(b)
Includes unallocated corporate overhead and the elimination of transactions between segments.

Real Estate Services
Revenues and EBITDA increased $326 million (479%) and $286 million (179%), respectively, in third quarter 2003 compared with 2002, primarily reflecting growth in our mortgage business. Revenues from mortgage-related activities totaled $275 million in third quarter 2003, an increase of $362 million compared with third quarter 2002. Revenues and EBITDA in last year's third quarter were adversely impacted by a $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of our mortgage servicing rights asset ("MSRs"). Declines in interest rates at such time resulted in increases to our current and estimated future loan prepayment rates and a corresponding provision for impairment against the value of our MSRs. Excluding the $275 million non-cash MSR impairment provision in third quarter 2002, revenues

18



from mortgage-related activities increased $87 million in third quarter 2003 due to a significant increase in mortgage loan production, partially offset by an increase in amortization of the mortgage servicing rights asset as low interest rates continued to result in record levels of mortgage refinancing activity.

Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $226 million (112%) in third quarter 2003 compared with third quarter 2002 and were derived from growth in our fee-based mortgage origination operations (discussed below) and an increase in the volume of loans that we sold, which more than doubled quarter-over-quarter. We sold $19.2 billion of mortgage loans in third quarter 2003 compared with $9.2 billion in third quarter 2002, generating incremental production revenues of $181 million. In addition, production revenues generated from our fee-based mortgage-origination activity increased $45 million (82%) as compared with third quarter 2002. Production fee income on fee-based 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 in any given period is driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Total mortgage loans closed increased $12.9 billion (88%) to $27.6 billion in third quarter 2003, comprised of an $11.3 billion (114%) increase in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $1.6 billion (34%) increase in closed loans which were fee-based. Refinancings increased $10.1 billion (151%) to $16.7 billion and purchase mortgage closings grew $2.8 billion (35%) to $10.9 billion.

Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans increased $136 million primarily due to the $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of MSRs recorded in third quarter 2002. Apart from this impairment charge, net servicing revenues declined $139 million substantially due to a quarter-over-quarter increase in MSR amortization of $136 million (recorded as a contra revenue) resulting from the high levels of mortgage loan prepayments during third quarter 2003, which was partially offset by a $9 million (9%) increase in recurring servicing fees (fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolios) driven by a 16% quarter-over-quarter increase in the average servicing portfolio to $125.2 billion. In addition, net servicing revenues declined $7 million from hedging and other derivative activities to protect against changes in the fair value of MSRs due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest rates have risen from their lows in the earlier part of 2003 and, as such, we expect mortgage refinancing volume and resulting net production revenues to decline comparatively in future quarters. However, in a rising interest rate environment, although no assurances can be given, the impact of lower revenues from a decline in production should be partially offset by increased servicing revenues, net of hedge results. Historically, mortgage production and mortgage servicing operations have been counter-cyclical in nature and represented a naturally offsetting relationship. Additionally, to supplement this relationship, we also maintain a comprehensive, non-speculative mortgage risk management program to further mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our operating results.

Partially offsetting the growth in our mortgage business is a decline in revenues and EBITDA of $38 million and $9 million, respectively, related to our former title and appraisal businesses. On December 31, 2002, we distributed these businesses to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure. As a result, we did not recognize revenues and expenses from these businesses in third quarter 2003 while these businesses contributed revenues and EBITDA of $38 million and $9 million, respectively, in third quarter 2002.

Operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $75 million primarily due to the direct costs incurred in connection with the high level of mortgage loan production in third quarter 2003.

Fleet Management
Revenues and EBITDA increased $6 million (2%) and $2 million (8%), respectively, in third quarter 2003 compared with the comparable prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in fuel card usage

19



and higher gasoline prices, since our fuel card business earns a percentage of the total gas purchases by its clients. The EBITDA impact was partially offset by higher operating expenses incurred to support the additional usage.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. The information presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 has been revised to reflect the previously described change in the performance measure that we use to evaluate the operating results of our reportable segments.

(a)
Revenues and EBITDA for 2002 reflect a $275 million provision for impairment of our mortgage servicing rights asset, which is discussed in greater detail below.
(b)
Includes unallocated corporate overhead and the elimination of transactions between segments.

Real Estate Services
Revenues and EBITDA increased $543 million (90%) and $356 million, respectively, in nine months 2003 compared with nine months 2002, reflecting growth across all of our mortgage business. Revenues from mortgage-related activities grew $584 million (259%) in nine months 2003 compared with nine months 2002 due to a significant increase in mortgage loan production, partially offset by an increase in amortization of our MSRs as low interest rates resulted in record levels of mortgage refinancing activity. Revenues and EBITDA in last year's third quarter were adversely impacted by a $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of our MSRs. Declines in interest rates at such time resulted in increases to our current and estimated future loan prepayment rates and a corresponding provision for impairment against the value of our MSRs. Excluding the $275 million non-cash MSR impairment provision in third quarter 2002, revenues from mortgage-related activities increased $309 million (62%) in nine months 2003.

Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $505 million (89%) in nine months 2003 compared with the prior year period and were derived from growth in our fee-based mortgage origination operations (discussed below) and a 91% increase in the volume of loans that we sold. We sold $48.2 billion of mortgage loans in nine months 2003 compared with $25.8 billion in nine months 2002, generating incremental production revenues of $378 million. In addition, production revenues generated from our fee-based mortgage-origination activity increased $127 million (83%), as compared with nine months 2002. Production fee income on fee-based 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 in any given period is driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Total mortgage loans closed increased $29.2 billion (74%) to $68.8 billion in nine months 2003, comprised of a $25.0 billion (99%) increase in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $4.2 billion (29%) increase in closed loans that were fee-based.

20



Refinancings increased $24.3 billion (134%) to $42.5 billion and purchase mortgage closings grew $4.8 billion (23%) to $26.3 billion.

Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans increased $79 million primarily due to the $275 million non-cash provision for impairment of MSRs recorded in third quarter 2002. Apart from this impairment charge, net servicing revenues declined $196 million primarily due to a period-over-period increase in MSR amortization and provision for impairment of $351 million (recorded as a contra revenue), partially offset by $133 million of incremental gains from hedging and other derivative activities. The increase in MSR amortization and provision for impairment is a result of the high levels of refinancings and related mortgage loan prepayments in nine months 2003 due to low mortgage interest rates during 2003, while the incremental gains from hedging and other derivative activities resulted from our strategies to protect against changes in the fair value of MSRs due to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, recurring servicing fees (fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolio), increased $28 million (9%) driven by a 16% period-over-period increase in the average servicing portfolio, which rose to $120.3 billion for the nine-month period in 2003.

Interest rates have risen from their lows in the earlier part of 2003 and, as such, we expect mortgage refinancing volume and resulting net production revenues to decline comparatively in future quarters. However, in a rising interest rate environment, although no assurances can be given, the impact of lower revenues from a decline in production should be partially offset by increased servicing revenues, net of hedge results. Historically, mortgage production and mortgage servicing operations have been counter-cyclical in nature and represented a naturally offsetting relationship. Additionally, to supplement this relationship, we also maintain a comprehensive, non-speculative mortgage risk management program to further mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our operating results.

Partially offsetting the growth in our mortgage business is a decline in revenues and EBITDA of $60 million and $22 million, respectively, related to our former title and appraisal businesses. On December 31, 2002, we distributed these businesses to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant not within our ownership structure. As a result, we did not recognize revenues and expenses from these businesses in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 while these businesses contributed revenues and EBITDA of $60 million and $22 million, respectively, in the comparable period in 2002.

Operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $205 million primarily due to the direct costs incurred in connection with continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities.

Fleet Management
Revenues and EBITDA increased $26 million (2%) and $9 million (12%), respectively, in the nine months ended 2003 compared with the 2002 comparable period primarily due to an increase in fuel card usage and higher gasoline prices, since our fuel card business earns a percentage of the total gas purchased by its clients. The EBITDA impact was partially offset by higher operating expenses incurred to support the additional usage.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We present separately the financial data of our management and mortgage programs. Specifically, in our vehicle management, relocation and mortgage services businesses, assets under management and mortgage programs are generally funded through either borrowings under asset-backed funding arrangements or unsecured borrowings. Such borrowings are classified as debt under management and mortgage programs. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our management and mortgage programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of

21


our management and mortgage programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.

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 September 30, 2003, we had $185 million of cash on hand, an increase of $155 million from $30 million at December 31, 2002. The following table summarizes such increase:

 
  Nine Months Ended

  2003
  2002
  Change
 
Cash provided by (used in):                    
    Operating activities   $ 663   $ 1,367   $ (704 )
    Investing activities     (1,203 )   (1,329 )   126  
    Financing activities     703     (113 )   816  
Effects of exchange rate changes     (8 )   (3 )   (5 )
   
 
 
 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents   $ 155   $ (78 ) $ 233  
   
 
 
 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we generated $704 million less cash from operating activities as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This change principally reflects a reduction in net cash inflows provided by our management and mortgage programs, which resulted from timing differences between the origination of mortgage loans and the receipt of proceeds from the sale of such loans. Such decrease was partially offset by stronger operating results and better management of our working capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we used $126 million less cash for investing activities as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This change principally reflects (i) a timing difference between the cash receipts and cash payments within our vehicle management business, (ii) higher cash receipts on derivative contracts used to manage the interest rate risk inherent in our MSR asset and (iii) an increase in the proceeds received on the sale of real estate in the normal course of our mortgage services business. However, we used $4 million more cash for capital expenditures to support operational growth and to enhance operating efficiencies through technological improvements. We anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments for 2003 to be approximately $60 million.

We generated $703 million of net cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to using $113 million of net cash during the comparable period in 2002 primarily resulting from greater borrowings in 2003 to support the purchase of assets under management and mortgage programs.

Debt Under Management and Mortgage Programs
At September 30, 2003, we had approximately $9.4 billion of indebtedness. The following table summarizes the components of such debt:

At September 30, 2003, approximately $2.6 billion of asset-backed term notes were included in outstanding borrowings.
(b)
As of December 31, 2002, Bishop's Gate had $2.5 billion of indebtedness, which was not recorded on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as Bishop's Gate was not consolidated on such date. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more detailed information regarding Bishop's Gate.
(c)
The change in the balance at September 30, 2003 principally reflects (i) the issuance of $400 million of 6% term notes due March 2008, (ii) the issuance of $600 million of 71/8% term notes due March 2013, (iii) the issuance of $187 million of term notes with various interest rates and maturity dates and (iv) the February 2003 repayment of $650 million 81/8% of term notes.

The following table provides the contractual maturities for our debt under management and mortgage programs at September 30, 2003 (except for notes issued under our vehicle management program, where the underlying indentures require payments based on cash inflows relating to the corresponding assets under management and mortgage programs and for which appropriate estimates have been used):

Capacity is subject to maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize debt.
(b)
On July 3, 2003, we amended the terms of this facility, which reduced the capacity to $500 million and extended the maturity date to February 2005.

In addition to these on-balance sheet facilities, we also utilize Apple Ridge Funding Corporation, a bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose entity ("QSPE") to securitize relocation receivables. As this entity is a QSPE and precluded from consolidation pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the debt issued by this entity and the collateralizing assets, which we service, are not reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The assets of this QSPE are not available to pay our obligations. Additionally, the creditors of this QSPE have no recourse to our credit. However, we have made representations and warranties customary for securitization transactions, including eligibility characteristics of the receivables and servicing responsibilities, in connection with the securitization of these assets. The following table provides detailed information for this off-balance sheet QSPE.

As of September 30, 2003, we also had $874 million of availability for public debt issuances under a shelf registration statement.

Liquidity Risk
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in any one of the industries in which we operate. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to both management and mortgage programs, could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs and (ii) our inability to access the secondary market for mortgage loans or certain of our securitization facilities and our inability to act as servicer thereto, which could occur in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade and, in certain circumstances,

24



where we fail to meet certain financial ratios. Further, access to our credit facilities may be limited if we were to fail to meet certain financial ratios. We do not believe that our credit ratings are likely to fall below investment grade. Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial ratios and as of September 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit and securitization facilities.    Currently our credit ratings are as follows:

 
  Moody's
Investor
Service

  Standard
& Poor's

  Fitch
Ratings

Senior debt   Baa1   BBB+   BBB+
Short-term debt   P-2   A-2   F-2

Our credit ratings, with the exception to those assigned to our short-term debt, are 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.

Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2003, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any changes to our obligations related to debt under management and mortgage programs are presented above within the section entitled "Debt Under Management and Mortgage Programs and Borrowing Arrangements" and also within Note 3 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

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 that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results (mortgage servicing rights, retained interests from securitizations, financial instruments and goodwill and other intangible assets). There have not been any significant changes to those accounting policies or to our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical accounting policies with the exception of our current application of FIN 46 to specific entities as discussed in Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and all the provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." As a result, our financial statements beginning on January 1, 2003 reflect compensation expense for all stock-based compensation, including common stock options granted by Cendant as such expense is now allocated to us by Cendant.

In addition, on January 1, 2003, we adopted the following standards as a result of the issuance of new accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in 2002:

On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." As of September 30, 2003, we have applied the provisions of this Interpretation for all transactions initiated subsequent to January 31, 2003 and also to Bishop's Gate. We are currently

25



assessing the application of this Interpretation to other entities and are awaiting the additional clarification that the FASB is expected to provide prior to December 31, 2003.

During 2003, the FASB also issued the following literature, which we have adopted as of July 1, 2003:


For more detailed information regarding any of these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As previously discussed in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 loss in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in our market risk sensitive positions. We used September 30, 2003 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material. Additionally, the impact of a 10% change in interest rates on our fair values and cash flows would not be material. The potential impact on earnings resulting from a 10% increase and decrease in interest rates would be a loss of approximately $20 million and a gain of approximately $50 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

(b)
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.    There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
