Mt. Laurel, NJ, January 26, 2011 (Business Wire) PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (PHH or the
Company) today announced that it expects consolidated GAAP net income attributable to PHH
Corporation of approximately $181 million and basic earnings per share attributable to PHH
Corporation of $3.26 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, and approximately $48
million and $0.87, respectively, for the full year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also
announced that it expects core earnings (after-tax) of approximately $17 million and core earnings
per share of $0.31 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, and approximately $167
million and $3.01, respectively, for the full year ended December 31, 2010.
Jerry Selitto, president and chief executive officer, commented, Our solid 2010 full year core
earnings reflect our success in increasing mortgage market penetration, improving operating
efficiencies, and growing fee-based services in our Fleet Management Services segment. Our overall
mortgage origination volume was up 30% in 2010 at $49 billion, versus $38 billion in 2009, and the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans included in our mortgage servicing portfolio increased
almost $15 billion during the year, while the weighted average interest rate of such loans dropped
nearly 40 basis points during the year and stood at 4.9% as of year-end. Fleet segment profit
showed significant improvement versus 2009, up 67% for the quarter and 17% for the full year.
Market events in December negatively impacted our core earnings, falling short of our expectations
for the quarter. In December, mortgage interest rates rose by approximately 40 basis points and
market volatility increased, leading to a sharp decline in interest rate lock commitments and
negatively impacting gain on sale margins in our Mortgage Production segment during the month.
While mortgage closing volume increased 45% in the fourth quarter over the third quarter, the
majority of net income associated with these loans was booked in prior quarters when borrowers
locked their interest rates. Foreclosure related charges were $21 million during the fourth
quarter 2010, up from $11 million in the comparable 2009 quarter, but were comparable on a full
year basis at $72 million in 2010 versus $70 million in 2009. Total mortgage servicing portfolio
delinquencies also showed improvement, standing at 4.24% at the end of 2010, compared to 4.92% at
the end of 2009.
Notwithstanding the challenges we faced at the end of 2010, we remain committed to delivering
sustainable, profitable growth within our risk guidelines by continuing to focus on improving
productivity through our transformation initiative, increasing our market share for mortgage loan
originations and servicing, and increasing profitability in our Fleet Management Services segment.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Final Earnings Results/Conference Call
The Company noted that these 2010 fourth quarter results are preliminary and unaudited and
therefore subject to the Companys completion of its customary quarterly closing and review
procedures, as well as audit by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The
Company will provide an update on its results on a conference call to be held after it announces
final 2010 fourth quarter results, on or about February 25, 2011; adequate notice of the specific
date will be provided. Management will be available to answer investor questions during the
conference call, and will not comment further on the Companys results until such time.
* Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share, and core revenues,
are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. See Non-GAAP Reconciliations at the
back of this release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.
Core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share, and core revenues
measure the Companys financial performance excluding certain unrealized changes in value of
mortgage servicing rights that are based upon projections of future voluntary and involuntary
prepayments.
The unrealized changes in value of our mortgage servicing rights for voluntary and involuntary
prepayments are reflected as market-related and credit related fair value adjustments,
respectively. Core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share, and
Core Revenues may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances,
consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating
performance.
The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures can be useful to investors because they
provide a
means by which investors can evaluate the Companys underlying key drivers and operating
performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the
underlying economic performance of the business for a given period.
The Company also believes that any meaningful analysis of the Companys financial performance by
investors requires
an understanding of the factors that drive the underlying operating performance which can be
obscured by significant unrealized changes in value of our mortgage servicing rights in a given period that is included in
Segment (loss) profit, (Loss) income before income taxes, Net (loss) income attributable to PHH Corporation and Basic
(loss) earnings per share attributable to PHH Corporation in accordance with GAAP.
Use of Core Earnings by Management
The unrealized changes in the value of mortgage servicing rights are based upon numerous
assumptions, which include estimated changes in future prepayments that may or may not be actually
realized in the future. The market-related fair
value adjustments are based upon assumptions of future interest rates, the shape of the yield
curve, volatility and other factors. The credit-related fair value adjustments are based upon projected levels of delinquencies
and foreclosures that are
assumed to remain at current period-end levels throughout the life of the asset for purposes of
modeling the expected future cash flows of the mortgage servicing rights. Value lost from actual voluntary and involuntary
prepayments are recorded when the underlying loans actually prepay or when foreclosure proceedings
are complete, and are included in core earnings
based on the current value of the mortgage servicing rights.
The Company manages the business and has designed certain management incentives based upon the
achievement of
core earnings targets. In addition, the Company believes that it will likely replenish most, if not
all, realized value lost from changes in value from actual prepayments through new loan originations and actively manages
and monitors
economic replenishment rates to measure our ability to continue to do so. Therefore, management
does not believe the unrealized change in value of the mortgage servicing rights is representative of the economic
change in value of the
business as a whole. The presentation of core earnings is designed to more closely align the timing
of recognizing the actual value lost from prepayments in the mortgage servicing segment with the associated value
created through new
originations in the mortgage production segment.
2
Limitations on the Use of Core Earnings and Core Revenues
Since core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share and core
revenues measure the Companys financial performance excluding certain unrealized changes in value
of mortgage servicing rights, they may not reflect the rate of value lost on subsequent actual
payments or prepayments over time. As such, core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core
earnings (loss) per share and core revenues may tend to overstate operating results in a declining
interest rate environment and understate operating results in a rising interest rate environment.
Core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share and core revenues
involves differences from Segment (loss) profit, (Loss) income before income taxes, Net (loss)
income attributable to PHH Corporation, Basic (loss) earnings per share attributable to PHH
Corporation and Net revenues computed in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings (loss) (pre-tax and
after-tax), core earnings (loss) per share and core revenues should be considered as supplementary
to, and not as a substitute for, Segment (loss) profit, (Loss) income before income taxes, Net
(loss) income attributable to PHH Corporation, Basic (loss) earnings per share attributable to PHH
Corporation or Net revenues computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Companys
financial performance.
