PHH Corporation Completes Divestiture of its Fleet Management Services Business

 

Intends to Repurchase up to $450 Million in Stock

Intends to Redeem its 9¼% Senior Notes Due 2016

Intends to Deploy up to $200 Million to Re-engineer Mortgage Business

Intends to Invest up to $150 Million in Select Growth Initiatives

 

Mt. Laurel, NJ — July 7, 2014 — PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (“PHH” or the “Company”) announced today that, effective July 1, 2014, it has completed the previously announced sale of its Fleet Management Services business, doing business as PHH Arval, to Element Financial Corporation (“Element”) for cash consideration of $1.4 billion.

 

Glen A. Messina, president and CEO of PHH Corporation, said, “Completion of the sale of our Fleet Management Services business is an important step forward for PHH.  We now have the financial flexibility to return significant capital to shareholders, accelerate the reduction of our unsecured debt, re-engineer our Mortgage business and pursue opportunities to improve profitability through increased scale.  We thank our former Fleet employees for their dedicated service and valued contributions to PHH over the years and throughout this ownership transition.”

 

The sale transaction is expected to generate $821 million in net proceeds after the payment of expected taxes and transaction expenses, subject to purchase price adjustments and the final determination of taxes.  PHH’s pro forma consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014, inclusive of the net proceeds received at closing, was $1.74 billion.

 

PHH’s Board of Directors has authorized up to $450 million in share repurchases, including a $200 million accelerated stock repurchase (“ASR”) program, which is expected to commence after the release of the Company’s second quarter earnings, and up to $250 million in open market purchases over the twelve months following the completion of the ASR.

 

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company intends to redeem all of its outstanding 9¼% Senior Notes due 2016, with an aggregate principal amount of $170 million.  Upon completion of such redemption, and taking into account the expected repayment of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 at maturity on September 1, 2014, the Company expects to have reduced the aggregate principal balance of its unsecured debt by the end of the third quarter of 2014 by $420 million.

 

PHH intends to deploy up to $200 million to re-engineer the Company’s operations and support infrastructure. The Company will focus on restructuring its Private Label business model, reducing production expenses to align with expected lower volumes, consolidating its corporate and mortgage support infrastructure, and investing in technology to support growth and productivity.

 

PHH also intends to invest up to $150 million in growth initiatives to enhance scale and profitability and diversify the Company’s revenue streams across Mortgage Production and Servicing.  The Company will be focused on expanding its target market within its existing Private Label client base and growing its origination volume through outsourcing opportunities with regional and community banks and credit unions.  The Company believes that it can grow its share in the home purchase market through improved capture rates and additional investments in its Real Estate channel.  PHH will also evaluate selective inorganic growth investments to expand its retail mortgage market presence and leverage its fixed-cost infrastructure.

 



 

Messina added, “PHH’s unique outsourcing offering and market access, superior operating capabilities and financial flexibility provide competitive advantages that position us for success.  We are confident that our planned actions will improve the profitability of our Mortgage business and continue to enhance shareholder value while we maintain a strong focus on operational execution and customer service.”

 

The Company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 8, 2014, to discuss details of the transaction, the deployment of excess capital and its Mortgage strategy. You can access the conference call by dialing (866) 416-5346 or (913) 312-0689 and using the conference ID 6366023 approximately 10 minutes prior to the call.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On July 7, 2014, PHH Corporation (“PHH,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) completed the sale of our wholly owned Fleet Management Services segment and related entities (collectively the “Fleet Business”) to certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Element Financial Corporation, an Ontario corporation for $1.4 billion in cash.

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of PHH Corporation was derived from our historical consolidated financial statements and is being presented to give effect to the disposition of the Fleet Business.  The pro forma statements do not give any effect to the utilization of cash proceeds.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the disposition of the Fleet Business as if it occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the disposition as if it occurred on March 31, 2014, including the elimination of the net assets of the Fleet Business, the elimination of all intercompany amounts, plus pro forma adjustments for the net proceeds from the sale in cash and cash equivalents, the recording and settlement of certain tax amounts, and the estimated gain on the sale in retained earnings.  The estimated proceeds and gain on the sale of the Fleet business may change based upon final determination and settlement of post-closing adjustments.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2013 Form 10-K and our first quarter 2014 Form 10-Q.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information below is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to reflect what the actual financial position or results of operations of the Company would have been had the disposition occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future financial position or results of operations.  In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 may not be indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.  The pro forma adjustments are based upon the best information available and certain assumptions that management believes to be reasonable in the circumstances.  There can be no assurance that such information and assumptions will not change from those reflected in the pro forma financial statements and the accompanying notes.
