b) Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for acquired companies are included from their respective dates of acquisition. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in cash flows have been made.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates relate to the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses, loans and leases acquired with evidence of credit deterioration, contingent liabilities, and the fair values of investment securities, loans held for sale, MSR and derivative instruments. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Consolidation - In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-2, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which (1) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIE) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs that have fee arrangements and related party relationships and (4) provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. Upon adoption, ASU 2015-2 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, which requires restatement as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. ASU 2015-2 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2015-2 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606), which supersedes the guidance in former Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To satisfy this objective, ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and
allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also implements enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption prohibited. Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.
Presentation of Residential Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure - In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables- Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), which will eliminate diversity in practice regarding the timing of derecognition for residential mortgage loans when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Under ASU 2014-04, physical possession of residential real estate property is achieved when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in order to satisfy that loan. Once physical possession has been achieved, the loan is derecognized and the property recorded within other assets at the lower of cost or fair value (less estimated costs to sell). In addition, the guidance requires both interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance set forth in ASU 2014-04 is consistent with the Company’s current practice for derecognizing residential mortgage loans. As such, the adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements but resulted in additional disclosure, which can be found in Note 6.

The Company had unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 on residential nonagency CMO securities, residential agency MBS, and ABS. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to weak market conditions. Based on the nature of the impairment, these unrealized losses are considered temporary. The Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery.
At June 30, 2015, the Company had 56 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. A total of 30 were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. All of these 30 securities consisted of 25 residential nonagency CMO securities and five residential agency MBS. The remaining 26 debt securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. These 26 securities consisted of 21 residential nonagency CMO securities, three ABS securities, and two residential agency MBS . Of the $7,874 in unrealized losses, $5,430 relate to debt securities that are rated investment grade with the remainder representing securities for which the Company believes it has both the intent and ability to hold to recovery.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had 58 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. A total of 39 were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. These 39 securities consisted of 36 residential nonagency CMO securities and three residential agency MBS. The remaining 19 debt securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. These 19 securities consisted of three ABS, three residential agency MBS and 13 residential nonagency CMO securities. Of the $6,927 in unrealized losses, $5,061 relate to debt securities that are rated investment grade with the remainder representing securities for which the Company believes it has both the intent and ability to hold to recovery.
When certain triggers indicate the likelihood of an other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) or the qualitative evaluation performed cannot support the expectation of recovering the entire amortized cost basis of an investment, the Company performs cash flow analyses that project prepayments, default rates and loss severities on the collateral supporting each security. If the net present value of the investment is less than the amortized cost, the difference is recognized in earnings as a credit-related impairment, while the remaining difference between the fair value and the amortized cost is recognized in AOCI.
There were no OTTI losses recognized on available for sale or held to maturity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized non-credit OTTI in earnings of $685 on available for sale residential nonagency CMO securities with no OTTI recognized on held to maturity securities. These OTTI losses represented additional declines in fair value on securities originally OTTI at December 31, 2013 as a result of regulatory changes created by the Volcker rule, which classifies these investments as covered funds that cannot be held by an insured depository institution. As a result, management could not assert at June 30, 2014 that the Company had the ability to hold these investments to recovery.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, interest and dividend income on investment securities was comprised of the following: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2015 | | 2014 | | 2015 | | 2014 |
Interest income on available for sale securities | $ | 4,607 |
| | $ | 7,972 |

| | $ | 15,469 |
| | $ | 19,649 |
|
All investment interest income recognized by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was fully taxable.

|
| $ | 973,507 |
|
The Company has elected the fair value option for loans it originates with the intent to market and sell in the secondary market either through third party sales or securitizations. Mortgage warehouse loans are largely comprised of agency deliverable products that the Company typically sells within three months subsequent to origination. The Company economically hedges the mortgage warehouse portfolio with forward purchase and sales commitments designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on the balance sheet, the Company has elected fair value accounting on this portfolio of loans due to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. The Company has also elected the fair value option for originated fixed rate jumbo preferred loans, due to the short duration that these loans are present on the balance sheet. Electing to use fair value accounting allows a better offset of the changes in the fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge these loans without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other residential mortgage loans, government insured pool buyouts and commercial and commercial real estate loans because the Company expects to hold these loans for a short duration. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.
A majority of the loans held for sale that are carried at the lower of cost or market represent loans that were transferred from the held for investment portfolio to the held for sale portfolio. Government insured pool buyouts held at the lower of cost or market represent government insured loans that have re-performed and are now eligible to be re-securitized. These loans are either bought out of the Company's servicing pools while delinquent or acquired from third parties through whole loan acquisitions and placed into the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio as the loans must become current before they are eligible for securitization. Once the loan re-performs and becomes eligible for securitization, the loan is transferred to the held for sale portfolio and sold or securitized. Other residential loans held at the lower of cost or market represent loans for which the Company has changed its intent and no longer intends to hold these loans for the foreseeable future. Residential loans are transferred to the held for sale portfolio when the Company has entered into a commitment to sell a specific portion of its held for investment portfolio or when the Company has a formal marketing strategy to sell a certain loan product. Commercial and commercial real estate loans represent loans that the Company voluntarily repurchased out of the Business Lending Trust and expect to sell in the foreseeable future.
In conjunction with the sale of loans and leases, the Company may be exposed to limited liability related to recourse agreements and repurchase agreements made to its issuers and purchasers, which are included in commitments and contingencies in Note 14. Commitments and contingencies include amounts related to loans sold that the Company may be required to repurchase, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred, due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties. Refer to Note 14 for the maximum exposure to loss for material breach of contractual representations and warranties.

In connection with these transfers, the Company recorded servicing assets in the amount of $16,531 and $28,823 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. All servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value using a Level 3 measurement technique. Refer to Note 7 for
information relating to servicing activities and MSR and Note 13 for a description of the valuation process. The gains and losses on the transfers which qualified as sales are recorded on the consolidated statements of income in gain on sale of loans, which includes the gain or loss on sale, change in fair value related to fair value option loans, and the offsetting hedging positions.
The Company periodically transfers conforming residential Ginnie Mae (GNMA) mortgages in exchange for mortgage-backed securities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company retained zero and $9,001, respectively, of these securities backed by the transferred loans and maintained effective control over these pools of transferred assets. Accordingly, the Company did not record these transfers as sales. These transferred assets were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as loans held for sale. The remaining securities were sold to unrelated third parties and were recorded as sales.

Acquired Credit Impaired (ACI) Loans and Leases — At acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired loans and leases by segregating the portfolio into pools with similar risk characteristics. Fair value estimates for acquired loans and leases require
estimates of the amounts and timing of expected future principal, interest and other cash flows. For each pool, the Company uses certain loan and lease information, including outstanding principal balance, probability of default and the estimated loss in the event of default to estimate the expected future cash flows for each loan and lease pool.

(1) | Government insured pool buyouts remain on accrual status after 90 days as the interest earned is collectible from the insuring governmental agency. |
Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets — Once all potential alternatives for reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once possession of the property collateralizing the loan is obtained, the repossessed property will be recorded within other assets either as other real estate owned or, where management has both the intent and ability to recover its losses through a government guarantee, as a foreclosure claim receivable.
As the allowable time frame for initiating the loan foreclosure process varies by jurisdiction, the Company has determined, for purposes of disclosure, loans collateralized by residential real estate are considered to be in the process of foreclosure once they are 120 days or more past due. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had loans collateralized by residential real estate with carrying values of $2,772,320 and $2,544,314, respectively that were 120 days or more past due. Of the residential loans that were 120 days or more past due, $2,748,777 and $2,519,022 represented loans that were government insured at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had foreclosure claims receivable of $473,124 and $451,125, net of valuation allowances of $15,558 and $17,336 respectively. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had other real estate owned of $4,443 and $8,013 net of valuation allowances of $385 and $441, respectively.
Impaired Loans — Impaired loans include loans identified as troubled loans as a result of a borrower’s financial difficulties and other loans on which the accrual of interest income is suspended. The Company continues to collect payments on certain impaired loan balances on which accrual is suspended.
The following tables present the unpaid principal balance, the recorded investment and the related allowance for impaired loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR) — Modifications made to residential loans during the period included extension of original contractual maturity date, extension of the period of below market rate interest-only payments, or contingent reduction of past due interest. Commercial loan modifications made during the period included extension of original contractual maturity date, payment forbearance, reduction of interest rates, or extension of interest-only periods.

On April 27, 2015, EverBank entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell MSR to Green Tree Servicing LLC (GTS). The sale included approximately $4,614,973 in UPB of capitalized FHA servicing rights to GTS and the termination of the Company's existing subservicing agreement with GTS. The sale closed in the second quarter of 2015. As a result of the sale of MSR to GTS, EverBank determined that the basis of its MSR asset was permanently impaired and non-recoverable and therefore $14,541 was written off through its valuation allowance during the second quarter of 2015.
For loans securitized and sold with servicing retained during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, management used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of residential MSR at the date of securitization:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 | | Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 |
Average discount rates | 10.17 | % | | — | | 10.55% | | 10.08 | % | | — | | 10.55% |
Expected prepayment speeds | 8.30 | % | | — | | 9.55% | | 8.30 | % | | — | | 11.38% |
Weighted-average life in years | 7.47 |
| | — | | 8.28 | | 6.29 |
| | — | | 8.28 |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 | | Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 |
Average discount rates | 9.62 | % | | — | | 10.16% | | 9.32 | % | | — | | 10.16% |
Expected prepayment speeds | 11.74 | % | | — | | 13.76% | | 11.73 | % | | — | | 13.76% |
Weighted-average life in years | 6.03 |
| | — | | 6.29 | | 6.03 |
| | — | | 6.41 |
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company estimated the fair value of its capitalized residential MSR to be approximately $361,240 and $436,727, respectively. The carrying value of its residential MSR was $361,240 and $432,716 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The carrying value and the fair value are equal as of June 30, 2015 as the fair value of all tranches of our residential MSR was below the cost basis. The unpaid principal balance below excludes $8,409,000 and $8,073,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for residential loans with no related MSR basis. The Company received third party bids for a portion of its outstanding residential MSR. The accepted bid was used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its MSR for the related portfolios, leading to a level 2 fair value asset. The remaining MSR portfolio was valued using internally developed estimated cash flows, leading to a level 3 fair value asset. For more information on the fair value of the Company’s MSR portfolio see Note 13.
The characteristics used in estimating the fair value of the residential MSR portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: |
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2015 | | December 31, 2014 |
Unpaid principal balance | $ | 34,925,000 |
| | $ | 41,190,000 |
|
Gross weighted-average coupon | 4.32 | % | | 4.37 | % |
Weighted-average servicing fee | 0.27 | % | | 0.29 | % |
Expected prepayment speed (1) | 11.54 | % | | 12.97 | % |
| |
(1) | The prepayment speed assumptions include a blend of prepayment speeds that are influenced by mortgage interest rates, the current macroeconomic environment and borrower behaviors and may vary over the expected life of the asset. |
A sensitivity analysis of the Company’s fair value of residential MSR portfolio to hypothetical adverse changes of 10% and 20% to the weighted-average of certain key assumptions as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is presented below.
|
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2015 | | December 31, 2014 |
Prepayment Rate | | | |
10% adverse rate change | $ | 14,883 |
| | $ | 18,294 |
|
20% adverse rate change | 28,689 |
| | 35,347 |
|
Discount Rate | | | |
10% adverse rate change | 14,295 |
| | 15,932 |
|
20% adverse rate change | 27,590 |
| | 30,770 |
|
In the previous table, the effect of a variation in a specific assumption on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. This analysis typically cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights usually is not linear. The effect of changing one key assumption will likely result in the change of another key assumption which could impact the sensitivities.
Commercial
The carrying value and fair value of the Company's commercial MSR was $1,563 and $2,903 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company recognized $2,430 and $2,718 of prepayment penalty income in other noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $6,454 and $5,348 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to serviced loans in the trusts acquired with the Business Property Lending, Inc. acquisition.
8. Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Notes Payable
Trust preferred securities and subordinated notes payable as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, consisted of the following: |
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2015 | | December 31, 2014 |
Trust preferred securities | $ | 103,750 |
| | $ | 103,750 |

Subordinated notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $2,298 and $0, respectively | 172,702 |
| | — |
|
Total trust preferred securities and subordinated notes payable | $ | 276,452 |
| | $ | 103,750 |
|
Subordinated Notes Payable - On June 30, 2015, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $175,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Subordinated Notes due 2025 (subordinated notes). The subordinated notes were sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement at a price to the public of 100% of the face amount and were issued pursuant to an indenture and a supplemental indenture. The subordinated notes will mature on July 2, 2025 and bear a fixed rate of interest of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 2 and July 2 of each year, commencing on January 2, 2016.
The subordinated notes are unsecured and will rank equally with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including any subordinated indebtedness issued in the future under the indenture governing the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company. The subordinated notes will be obligations of EverBank Financial Corp only and will not be guaranteed by any subsidiaries, including EverBank. Additionally, the subordinated notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, which means that creditors of our subsidiaries (including in the case of EB, its depositors) generally will be paid from those subsidiaries' assets before holders of the subordinated notes would have any claim to those assets.
For regulatory capital adequacy purposes, the subordinated notes qualify as tier 2 capital for the Company. If in the future the subordinated notes no longer qualify as tier 2 capital, the subordinated notes may be redeemed by the Company, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
On June 30, 2015, the Company made a capital contribution to EB in the amount of $150,000 from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the subordinated notes.
9. Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company's effective income tax rate was 37.9%. The effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes for all periods.
10. Share-Based Compensation
Option Plans - On March 9, 2015, the Company granted 819,223 options with a fair value per option on the grant date of $5.76. The fair value of each option award was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options are as follows:

Dividend yield | 1.27 | % |
The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States (U.S.) Treasury constant maturity yield for treasury securities with maturities approximating the expected life of the options granted on the date of grant. The expected option terms were determined using the simplified approach, which is based on the vesting and contractual terms of the options. The Company analyzes a group of publicly-traded peer institutions to determine the expected volatility of its stock. The peer group is assessed for adequacy annually, or as circumstances indicate significant changes to the composition of the peer group are warranted. Volatility for the Company's stock is estimated utilizing the average volatility calculated for the peer group, which is based upon weekly price observations over the estimated term of the options granted.
Options vest over various periods, generally one to five years, and the term is generally 10 years. Based on historical experience and the characteristics of the grantee, the Company uses estimated forfeiture rates that range from 0% to 20% over the term of the options. Amounts included in compensation expense reflect the fair value of the underlying options as of the grant date multiplied by the number of options expected to vest, accrued on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, 888,533 options were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $6,576.
Nonvested Stock - The Company issued 293,171 nonvested shares of stock to certain employees as an incentive for continued employment and to certain directors in lieu of cash payouts for compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2015. These shares usually vest based on the grantee's future service with the Company. Compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the shares at the date of issuance and is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable vesting schedule. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these shares was $17.54 per share, which is the fair value of the Company's common stock at grant date adjusted for expected dividends as the Company's restricted shares do not accrue dividends.

| |
(2) | Refer to Note 13 for additional information relating to the indemnification asset. |
| |
(3) | Foreign exchange forward contracts act as economic hedges for the foreign currency risk embedded within deposits denominated in foreign currencies. The change in the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract is marked to fair value, while the deposit is translated to the current spot rate in accordance with ASC 830. Historically, the hedge has been effective in managing the foreign currency risk of foreign-denominated deposits by locking in the U.S. Dollar cash flows. |
Interest rate contracts are predominantly used as economic hedges of interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. Other derivatives are predominantly used as economic hedges of foreign exchange, commodity, metals, and U.S. Treasury yield risk.
Credit Risk Contingent Features
Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral when derivatives are in a net liability position. The provisions generally are dependent upon the Company’s credit rating based on certain major credit rating agencies or dollar amounts in a liability position at any given time which exceed specified thresholds, as indicated in the relevant contracts. In these circumstances, the counterparties could demand additional collateral or require termination or replacement of derivative instruments in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position prior to netting on June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $16,984 and $47,725, respectively. The Company offsets derivative instruments against the rights to reclaim cash collateral or the obligations to return cash collateral in the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $6,655 and $43,480, respectively, in collateral was netted against liability derivative positions subject to master netting agreements. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $51,050 and $79,296, respectively, of collateral was posted for derivatives with credit risk contingent features.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. If the counterparty fails to perform, counterparty credit risk equals the amount reported as derivative assets in the balance sheet. The amounts reported as derivative assets are derivative contracts in a gain position, and to the extent subject to master netting arrangements, net of derivatives in a loss position with the same counterparty and cash collateral received. The Company minimizes this risk through obtaining credit approvals, monitoring credit limits, monitoring procedures, and executing master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Company offsets derivative instruments against the rights to reclaim cash collateral or the obligations to return cash collateral in the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1,943 and $2,300, respectively, in collateral was netted against asset derivative positions subject to master netting agreements. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held $3,910 and $2,300, respectively, in collateral from its counterparties. Counterparty credit risk related to derivatives is considered in determining fair value.
13. Fair Value Measurements
Asset and liability fair value measurements have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy described below:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain loans held for sale and other liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are as follows:

The Company monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the Company reports the transfer at the end of the reporting period.
The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Loans Held for Sale Accounted for under the Fair Value Option
The following table presents information on loans held for sale reported under the fair value option at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
|
| | | |
June 30, 2015 | |
Fair value carrying amount | $ | 1,315,966 |
|
Aggregate unpaid principal balance | 1,292,085 |
|
Fair value carrying amount less aggregate unpaid principal | $ | 23,881 |
|
December 31, 2014 | |
Fair value carrying amount | $ | 728,378 |
|
Aggregate unpaid principal balance | 704,835 |
|
Fair value carrying amount less aggregate unpaid principal | $ | 23,543 |
|
No loans recorded under the fair value option were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Differences between the fair value carrying amount and the aggregate unpaid principal balance include changes in fair value recorded at and subsequent to funding, gains and losses on the related loan commitment prior to funding and premiums or discounts on acquired loans.
The net gains from initial measurement of loans accounted for under the fair value option and subsequent changes in fair value for loans outstanding was $16,073 and $19,152 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $30,517 and $30,857 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and are included in gain on sale of loans. These amounts exclude the impact from offsetting hedging arrangements which are also included in gain on sale of loans in the condensed consolidated statements of income. An immaterial portion of the change in fair value was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
The Company has elected the fair value option for extended written loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans in the Company’s held for investment portfolio. The Company economically hedges these extended loan commitments with MBS options designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the longer duration of these loan commitments that are present on the balance sheet, the Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for these instruments due to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for investment with lock terms less than 61 days. The net losses from initial measurement of extended written loan commitments accounted for under the fair value option and subsequent changes in fair value for those commitments was $381 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. An immaterial portion of the change in fair value was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. These measurements primarily result from assets carried at the lower of cost or fair value or from impairment of individual assets. Gains and losses disclosed below represent changes in fair value recognized subsequent to initial classification. The change in the MSR value represents a change due to impairment or recoveries on previous write downs. The carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and held at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and related changes in fair value are as follows:
|

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This table excludes financial instruments with short-term or no stated maturity, prevailing market rates and limited credit risk, where carrying amounts approximate fair value. For financial assets such as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) restricted stock, and other investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings and money market deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these liabilities have no stated maturity.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Valuation Methodology
Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Investment Securities — Within the other available for sale securities portfolio, the Company holds equity securities which are valued
using quoted market prices for identical equity securities in the market and are therefore classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The
remaining investment portfolio (nonagency CMO, ABS, agency CMO which contains both available for sale and held to maturity investment securities and agency MBS securities) uses fair values which are derived from quoted market prices and values from third party pricing services for which management understands the methods used to determine fair value and is able to assess the values and therefore classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also performs an assessment of the pricing of investment securities received from third party pricing services to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value. The procedures include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of pricing methodologies and trends. The Company has the ability to challenge values and discuss its analysis with the third party pricing service providers in order to ensure that investments are recorded or disclosed at the appropriate fair value.
When the level and volume of trading activity for certain securities has significantly declined and/or when the Company believes that third party pricing may be based in part on forced liquidations or distressed sales, the Company analyzes each security for the appropriate valuation methodology based on a combination of the market approach reflecting third party pricing information and a discounted cash flow approach. In calculating the fair value derived from the income approach, the Company makes certain significant assumptions in addition to those discussed above related to the liquidity risk premium, specific non-performance and default experience in the collateral underlying the security. The values resulting from the market and income approaches are weighted to derive the final fair value for each security trading in an inactive market. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management did not make any adjustments to the prices provided by the third party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.
Loans Held for Sale — Fair values for loans held for sale valued under the fair value option are derived from quoted market prices for similar loans resulting in a classification within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy or from models using loan characteristics including product type, pricing features and loan maturity dates and economic assumptions including prepayment estimates and discount rates based on prices currently offered in secondary markets for similar loans resulting in a classification within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Certain conforming residential mortgage loans carried at the lower of cost or market are valued using market observable pricing inputs for similar loans, which are derived from third party loan sales and securitizations and, therefore, are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Fair values for non-
conforming residential mortgage loans and commercial and commercial real estate loans carried at lower of cost or market are derived from models using characteristics of the loans including product type, pricing features and loan maturity dates and economic assumptions including prepayment estimates, discount rates and estimated credit losses for loans for which all of the significant assumptions are observable in the market. The Company estimates the fair value of loans held for sale utilizing a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the collateral and underlying loan characteristics, as well as assumptions to determine the discount rate such as credit loss and prepayment forecasts, and servicing costs. In determining the appropriate discount rate, prepayment and credit assumptions, the Company monitors other capital markets activity for similar collateral being traded and/or interest rates currently being offered for similar products. Discussions related to the fair value of these loans held for sale are held between our internal valuation specialists and executive and business unit management to discuss the key assumptions used in arriving at the final estimates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Loans Held for Investment — Fair values for loans held for investment are derived using a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the collateral, and underlying loan characteristics. The valuation model uses loan characteristics which includes product type, maturity dates, credit profile of the loans, and the underlying interest rate of the portfolio. This information is input into the valuation models along with various forecast valuation assumptions including credit loss assumptions, servicing cost (if any), prepayment forecasts, and risk adjusted capital to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party databases. Noting the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, the Company includes loans held for investment within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired Loans — At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined primarily by using an income, cost, or market approach and is normally provided through appraisals. Impaired loans carried at fair value receive specific allocations within the allowance for loan and lease losses. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. For collateral dependent loans for which a new appraisal is expected in the next quarter, the appraisal is reviewed by an officer and an adjustment is made, if appropriate, based on a review of the property, historical changes in value, and current market rates. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically results in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated at least quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Other Real Estate Owned — Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value (less estimated costs to sell). Fair value is generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as OREO. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments on commercial properties are usually significant and typically result in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals for OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Company's valuation services group reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal. To assess the reasonableness of the fair value, the Company's valuation services group compares the assumptions to independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business, resulting in a level 3 fair value classification.
Mortgage Servicing Rights — Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the carrying amount of an individual stratum exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that stratum so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. In addition, a third-party valuation is obtained quarterly. The servicing portfolio is valued using all relevant positive and negative cash flows including servicing fees; miscellaneous income and float; costs of servicing; the cost of carry of advances; foreclosure losses; and applying certain prevailing assumptions used in the marketplace. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The assumptions are a combination of market and Company specific data. On a quarterly basis, the portfolio management group compares the Company’s estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights to a third-party valuation as part of the valuation process. Discussions are held between executive management and the independent third-party to review the key assumptions used by the respective parties in arriving at those estimates, and adjusted as necessary.
Time Deposits — The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, and volatility factors. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. The Company considers the impact of its own credit spreads in the valuation of these liabilities. The credit risk is determined by reference to observable credit spreads in the secondary cash market and therefore are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other Borrowings — For advances that bear interest at a variable rate, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate advances, fair value is estimated using quantitative discounted cash flow models that require the use of interest rate inputs that are currently offered for fixed-rate advances of similar remaining maturities. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. For hybrid advances, fair value is obtained from an FHLB proprietary model that provides the mathematical approximation of the market value of the underlying hedge. The terms of the hedge are similar to the advances and therefore classified as level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Trust Preferred Securities — Fair value is estimated using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate pricing curves. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. The Company interpolates its own credit spreads in the valuation of these liabilities. Due to the significance of the credit spread in the valuation inputs, trust preferred securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Subordinated Notes Payable — On June 30, 2015 the Company completed the public offering and sale of $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% subordinated notes due 2025. Noting the sale date, the Company concluded the par value is a reasonable estimate for fair value and classified the subordinated notes within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Interest Rate Swaps and Interest Rate Swap Futures — The fair value of interest rate swaps and forward interest rate swaps are determined by a third party using a derivative valuation model. The inputs used in the valuation model are based on contract terms which primarily include start and end swap dates, swap coupon, interest rate curve and notional amounts, and other standard methodologies which are obtained from similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 12 for additional information on cash flow hedges.
The fair value of interest rate swap futures is determined based upon quotes provided by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on which these instruments are traded. As such quotes represent valuations for identical instruments in active markets they are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Such pricing is utilized for both active trading and daily settlement of pricing adjustments on outstanding positions. As these pricing adjustments are settled daily between the exchange and the Company, the result is that the Company holds interest futures with an outstanding notional and a level 1 fair value of zero as of the balance sheet date.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments and Extended Written Loan Commitments— Fair values of interest rate lock commitments and extended written loan commitments are derived using valuation models incorporating current market information or by obtaining market or dealer quotes for instruments with similar characteristics, subject to anticipated loan funding probability or fallout. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation process is the closing ratio, which represents management's estimate of the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which will ultimately close. The loan closing ratio is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock through the time the loan closes. The closing ratio is computed by the Company's secondary marketing system using historical data and the ratio is periodically reviewed by the secondary marketing group for reasonableness and as such both IRLC and extended written loan commitments are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of these instruments are positive (negative) if the prevailing interest rate is lower (higher) than the locked in rate. Therefore, an increase in the loan closing probability (i.e., higher percentage of loans estimated to close) will result in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment to increase if in a gain position, or decrease if in a loss position.
Forward Sales Commitments and Optional Forward Purchase and Sale Commitments — The fair value of forward sales and optional forward purchase and sale commitments is determined based upon the difference between the settlement values of the commitments and the quoted market values of the securities, which can be quoted using similar instruments in the active market and therefore are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Foreign Exchange Contracts —Fair values of foreign exchange contracts are based on quoted prices for each foreign currency at the balance sheet date. The quoted prices are for similar instruments and therefore, these contracts are classified as level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Options and Options Embedded in Client Deposits—For options and embedded options in client deposits, the fair value is determined by obtaining market or dealer quotes for instruments with similar characteristics in active markets and therefore both options and options embedded in client deposits are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Indemnification Asset —To determine the fair value of the indemnification asset the Company uses a cash flow model to project cash flows for GNMA pool buyouts with and without recourse. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the indemnification asset are the reinstatement rate, loss severity and loss duration. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The reinstatement rate is determined by analyzing historical default activity of similar loans. Loss severity is estimated as the interest rate spread between the note and debenture rate of the government insured loans as well as advance costs that are not reimbursable by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is then extrapolated over the expected loss duration. Loss severity represents the interest loss severity as a percentage of UPB. Negative loss severity results from the indemnifying party receiving a debenture rate interest from the insuring agency that more than offsets the lower note interest rate payments due from the indemnifying party under the indemnification agreement. As the Company calculates the fair value of the indemnification asset using unobservable inputs, the Company classifies the indemnification asset within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s portfolio management group is responsible for analyzing and updating the assumptions and cash flow model of the underlying loans on a quarterly basis, which includes corroboration with historical experience. Counterparty credit risk is taken into account when determining fair value.
See Note 12 for additional information on freestanding derivatives.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments — Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions. These commitments, predominantly at variable interest rates, are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
In order to meet the needs of its clients, the Company also issues standby letters of credit, which are conditional commitments generally to provide credit support for some creditors in case of default. The credit risk and potential cash requirements involved in issuing standby letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loan facilities to clients.
Unfunded credit extension commitments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale at interest rates determined prior to funding. Interest rate lock commitments for loans that the Company intends to sell are considered freestanding derivatives and are recorded at fair value. See Note 12 and Note 13 for information on interest rate lock commitments as they are not included in the table above. The Company has also elected the fair value option on extended written loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for investment. See Note 13 for more information on these extended written loan commitments as they are included in the origination pipeline table above under the residential designation.
The Company also has an agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League whereby the Company obtained the naming rights to the football stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. On July 3, 2014, the Company entered into an extension to the agreement for the naming rights and under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $43,057, in the aggregate, through February 28, 2025. Under the agreement, the amount due in 2015 is $3,756, and the amount increases 3% each year through 2025.
Guarantees — The Company sells and securitizes conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans predominantly to Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Company also sells residential mortgage loans, primarily those that do not meet criteria for whole loan sales to GSEs, through whole loan sales to private non-GSE purchasers. In doing so, representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans are made to the GSE or the third-party purchaser. Subsequent to the sale, if it is determined that the loans sold are (1) with respect to the GSEs, in breach of these representations or warranties or (2) with respect to non-GSE purchasers, in material breach of these representations and warranties, the Company generally has an obligation to either: (a) repurchase the loan for the UPB, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. From 2004 through June 30, 2015, the Company originated, sold and securitized approximately $67,478,141 of mortgage loans to GSEs and private non-GSE purchasers. A majority of the conventional conforming and federally insured single-family mortgage loans sold to non-GSEs were agency deliverable products that were eventually sold by large aggregators of agency product who securitized and sold the loans to the agencies. The Company also sells residential mortgage loans that do not meet criteria for loan sales to GSEs (nonconforming mortgage loans), to private non-GSE purchasers through whole loan sales and securitizations.
In some cases, the Company also has an obligation to repurchase loans in the event of early payment default (EPD) which is typically triggered if a borrower does not make the first several payments due after the loan has been sold to an investor. The Company's private
investors have agreed to waive EPD provisions for conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans and certain jumbo loan products. However, the Company is subject to EPD provisions for certain non-conforming jumbo loan products and community reinvestment loans the Company originates and sells under the State of Florida housing program.
The Company’s obligations vary based upon the nature of the repurchase demand and the current status of the mortgage loan. The Company establishes reserves for estimated losses inherent in the Company’s origination of mortgage loans. In estimating the accrued liability for loan repurchases, indemnifications and make-whole obligations, the Company estimates probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in claims requests and actual loss severities experienced. The liability includes accruals for probable contingent losses in addition to those identified in the pipeline of repurchase or make-whole requests. There is additional inherent uncertainty in the estimate because the Company historically sold a majority of loans servicing released prior to 2009 and currently does not have servicing performance metrics on a majority of those loans it originated and sold. The estimation process is designed to include amounts based on actual losses experienced from actual repurchase activity. The baseline for the repurchase reserve uses historical loss factors that are applied to loan pools originated in 2003 through June 30, 2015 and sold in years 2004 through June 30, 2015. Loss factors, tracked by year of loss, are calculated using actual losses incurred on repurchase or make-whole arrangements. The historical loss factors experienced are accumulated for each sale vintage (year loan was sold) and are applied to more recent sale vintages to estimate inherent losses not yet realized. The Company’s estimated recourse related to these loans was $18,145 and $25,940 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In the ordinary course of its loan servicing activities, the Company routinely initiates actions to foreclose real estate securing serviced loans. For certain serviced loans, there are provisions in which the Company is either obligated to fund foreclosure-related costs or to repurchase loans in default. Additionally, as servicer, the Company could be obligated to repurchase loans from or indemnify GSEs for loans originated by defunct originators. The outstanding principal balance on residential loans serviced at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $43,462,642 and $49,262,915, respectively. The amount of estimated recourse recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to servicing activities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $1,957 and $2,947, respectively.
Federal Reserve Requirement — The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) requires certain institutions, including EB, to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash and average account balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve requirement is based on average deposits outstanding and was $138,318 and $137,809 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Legal Actions —On April 13, 2011, each of the Company and EB entered into a consent order with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) with respect to EB's mortgage foreclosure practices and the Company's oversight of those practices. The Office of the Comptroller of the Company (OCC) succeeded the OTS with respect to EB's consent order, and the Board of Governors of the FRB succeeded the OTS with respect to the Company's consent order. The consent orders require, among other things, that the Company establish a new compliance program for mortgage servicing and foreclosure operations and that the Company ensures that it has dedicated resources for communicating with borrowers, policies and procedures for outsourcing foreclosure or related functions and management information systems that ensure timely delivery of complete and accurate information. The Company was also required to retain an independent firm as part of an "Independent Foreclosure Review" program to conduct a review of residential foreclosure actions that were pending from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010 in order to determine whether any borrowers sustained financial injury as a result of any errors, misrepresentations or deficiencies and to provide remediation as appropriate.
In August 2013, EB reached an agreement with the OCC that would end its participation in the Independent Foreclosure Review program mandated by the April 2011 consent order and replace it with an accelerated remediation process. The agreement included a cash payment of $39,932, which was paid in 2013 by EB to a settlement fund that provides relief to qualified borrowers and $6,344 was paid to organizations certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or other tax-exempt organizations that have as a principal mission providing affordable housing, foreclosure prevention and/or educational assistance to low and moderate income individuals and families. During 2014, all of the contributions were made to various organizations. This agreement has not eliminated all of the Company's risks associated with foreclosure-related practices, and it does not protect EB from potential individual borrower claims or class action lawsuits, any of which could result in additional expenses. Consistent with the agreement, an amendment to the April 2011 consent order was entered into on October 15, 2013. A second amendment to the April 2011 consent order was entered into by EB with the OCC on June 16, 2015, pursuant to which EB is not prohibited, but has agreed to seek regulatory non-objection for certain mortgage servicing and subservicing-related activities and transactions until the termination of its consent order. All terms of the April 2011 consent order that were not explicitly superseded by these amendments remain in effect without modification.
In October 2013, EB, along with other mortgage servicers, received a letter from the OCC requesting, in connection with the April 2011 consent order, that EB provide the OCC with an action plan to identify errors and remediate borrowers serviced by EB for the period from January 1, 2011 through the present day, that may have been harmed by the same errors identified in the Independent Foreclosure Review.
In September 2014, the Office of the Inspector General of HUD issued a report finding that EB did not properly determine that mortgagors were eligible to participate in FHA’s Preforeclosure Sale Program in accordance with HUD requirements. The report recommended that the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Single Family Housing require EB to (1) reimburse HUD for the 11 ineligible pre-foreclosure sale claims totaling $1,560, which the Company has recognized in general and administrative expense, and (2) develop and implement policies and procedures in accordance with HUD requirements to properly determine mortgagor eligibility for the program, which EB has completed. In May 2015, EB received notice from the U.S. Department of HUD recommending that EB indemnify HUD for 8 remaining ineligible pre-foreclosure claims that were submitted with a total claim amount of $1,143.
In addition, other government agencies, including state attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice, continue to investigate various mortgage related practices of the Company and other major mortgage servicers. The Company continues to cooperate with these investigations. These investigations could result in material fines, penalties, equitable remedies (including requiring default servicing or other process changes), or other enforcement actions, as well as significant legal cost in responding to governmental investigations and additional litigation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date in which financial statements are available to be issued and currently, the Company is unable to estimate any loss that may result from penalties or fines imposed by the OCC or other governmental agencies and hence, no amounts have been accrued.
In light of the uncertainties involved in these government proceedings, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the reserves currently accrued by the Company. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely involved in various claims and legal actions.
15. Variable Interest Entities
The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities (VIEs), which are legal entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities, or the equity investors of the entities as a group lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate.
Non-consolidated VIEs
The table below summarizes select information related to variable interests held by the Company at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Loans provided to VIEs
The Company has provided funding to certain unconsolidated VIEs sponsored by third parties. These VIEs are generally established to finance certain small business loans originated by third parties and are not considered to have significant equity at risk. The entities are primarily funded through the issuance of loans from the Company and a certified development company (CDC). The Company's loan is secured by a first lien. Although the Company retains the servicing rights to the loan, the Company is unable to unilaterally make all decisions necessary to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE; therefore, it is not the primary beneficiary. The principal risk to which these entities are exposed is credit risk related to the underlying assets. The loans to these VIEs are included in the Company’s overall analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses and reserve for unfunded commitments, respectively. The Company does not provide any implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to these VIEs. The Company records these commercial loans on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as loans held for investment.
On-balance sheet securitizations
The Company engages in on-balance-sheet securitizations which are securitizations that do not qualify for sales treatment; thus, the assets remain on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company securitizes mortgage loans generally through a GSE, such as GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC (U.S. agency-sponsored mortgages). Occasionally, the Company will transfer conforming residential mortgages to GNMA in exchange for mortgage-backed securities. The Company maintains effective control over pools of transferred assets that remain unsold at the end of the period. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded these transfers as sales. These transferred assets are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as loans held for sale.
Debt securities
All MBS, CMO and ABS securities owned by the Company are issued through VIEs. The related VIEs were not consolidated, as the Company was not determined to be the primary beneficiary because, as only a holder of investments issued by the VIE, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. See Note 3 for information related to debt securities.
Mortgage securitizations
The Company provides a variety of mortgage loan products to a diverse customer base. Once originated, the Company often securitizes these loans through the use of VIEs. These VIEs are funded through the issuance of trust certificates backed solely by the transferred assets. These mortgage loan securitizations are non-recourse except in accordance with the Company's standard obligations under representations and warranties. Thereby, the transactions effectively transfer the risk of future credit losses to the purchasers of the securities issued by the trust. The Company generally retains the servicing rights of the transferred assets but does not retain any other interest in the entities.
As noted above, the Company securitizes mortgage loans through GSEs or through private label (non-agency sponsored) securitizations. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of its U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations, because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate these U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations. Additionally, the Company does not consolidate VIEs of private label securitizations. Although the Company is the servicer of the VIE, the servicing relationship is deemed to be a fiduciary relationship and, therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Refer to Note 4 for information related to sales of residential mortgage receivables and Note 7 for information related to mortgage servicing rights.
16. Segment Information
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company completed certain changes to its organizational structure that resulted in the re-classification of the Company's three reportable business segments from Banking and Wealth Management, Mortgage Banking and Corporate Services into Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Corporate Services. The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer distinctive products and services marketed through different channels. These segments are managed separately because of their marketing and distribution requirements.
The Consumer Banking segment includes consumer deposit services and activities, residential lending and servicing, wealth management, and capital markets. Commercial Banking includes commercial and commercial real estate lending, lender finance, equipment finance and leasing, mortgage warehouse finance and commercial deposits.
The Corporate Services segment provides services to the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking segments including executive management, risk management, technology, legal, human resources, marketing, corporate development, treasury, accounting, finance and other services and transaction-related items. Direct expenses are allocated to the reporting segments. Unallocated expenses are included in Corporate Services. Certain other expenses, including interest expense on trust preferred debt and subordinated notes payable and transaction-related items, are included in the Corporate Services segment.
The chief operating decision maker’s review of each segment’s performance is based on segment income, which is defined as income from operations before income taxes and certain corporate allocations. Additionally, total net revenue is defined as net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and total noninterest income.
Intersegment revenue among the Company’s business units reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing (FTP) process, which takes into account assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company’s overall asset and liability management activities. This provides for the creation of an economic benchmark, which allows the Company to determine the profitability of the Company’s products and cost centers by calculating profitability spreads between product yields and internal references. However, business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to client pricing decisions within guidelines.
FTP serves to transfer interest rate risk to the Treasury function through a transfer pricing methodology and cost allocation model. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of the Company’s methodologies and assumptions that management believes are appropriate to accurately reflect business segment results. These factors are subject to change based on changes in current interest rates and market conditions.
The results of each segment are reported on a continuing basis. The following table presents financial information of reportable business segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The eliminations column includes intersegment eliminations required for consolidation purposes.

| |
(1) | Total revenue is defined as net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and total noninterest income. |
| |
(2) | Return on average risk-weighted assets equals net income divided by average risk-weighted assets. Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets. |
| |
(3) | Return on average equity is calculated as net income less dividends declared on the 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock divided by average common shareholders' equity (average shareholders' equity less average 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock). |
| |
(4) | Adjusted return on average equity is calculated as adjusted net income less dividends declared on the 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock divided by average common shareholders' equity. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. For a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income, see Table 1A. |
| |
(5) | The efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenues. We use the efficiency ratio to measure noninterest costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue. |
| |
(6) | The adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense as a percentage of adjusted total revenues based on adjusted net income. The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is the efficiency ratio. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income see Table 1A. For detailed information regarding the adjusted efficiency ratio, see Table 1B. We use the adjusted efficiency ratio to measure adjusted noninterest costs expended to generate a dollar of adjusted revenue. |
| |
(7) | Calculated as tangible common shareholders' equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. Tangible common shareholders' equity equals shareholders' equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and perpetual preferred stock (see Table 1C). Tangible common equity per common share is calculated using a denominator that includes actual period end common shares outstanding. Tangible common equity per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share. |
A reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows:

(1) | The average balances are principally daily averages, and for loans, include both performing and non-performing balances. |
| |
(2) | Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments. |
| |
(3) | All interest income was fully taxable for all periods presented. |
Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities.

(1) | The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period's average yield/cost. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous period's volume. Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to rate. |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is affected by both changes in interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is defined as net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Second Quarter of 2015 compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Net interest income increased by $28.8 million, or 21%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in interest income of $37.7 million, or 21%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $8.9 million, or 22%. Our net interest margin decreased by 11 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in net interest margin was led by a decrease in yields on our interest-earning assets due to originations into a lower rate interest environment as well as an increase in our mortgage warehouse and our mortgage warehouse finance balances as the rate environment remained relatively low during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This was partially offset by a decrease in yields on interest-bearing liabilities, which was affected by a relatively low interest rate environment.
Yields on our interest-earning assets decreased by 13 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in yields on our loans and leases held for investment and loans held for sale partially offset by an increase in yields on our investment securities.
The yields on our loans held for investment portfolio decreased by 12 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 which was consistent across most of our portfolios. The decrease in yield was driven primarily by our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio which decreased 39 basis points due to production of current market rate commercial and commercial real estate assets coupled with paydowns of higher yielding assets. In addition, the mix of the portfolio in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio changed during the quarter as low rates resulted in additional lending in our mortgage warehouse finance business which has the lowest yield of the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio due to the short-term nature of these assets. Yields on our equipment financing receivables decreased 89 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to continued production of leases at current market interest rates coupled with a decline in the accretion income associated with the leases acquired in the 2010 acquisition of our leasing business, which we acquired at a substantial discount to par due to market dislocation. The decreases in yield on our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio were partially offset by an increase in the yield on our residential mortgages held for investment which increased 9 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase is due to the reassessment of the cash flows of our acquired credit impaired (ACI) government insured pool buyout portfolios which increased the effective interest rate of the asset. These increases were partially offset by the continued production of current market rate assets coupled with paydowns of higher yielding assets originated or purchased in a higher interest rate environment.
The yields on our loans held for sale decreased 58 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the decrease in the current market mortgage rates of our loans held for sale. Due to the nature of the loans held for sale account and the turnover of that account, the yields on these assets can vary depending on the current market interest rates.
Our investments yield increased by 3 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
The yield on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 which was led by a change in the relative make-up of our other borrowings balance partially offset by an increase in the rates paid on deposits. The rates paid on our other borrowings decreased 39 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the make-up of our FHLB balance, which saw an increase in our short-term borrowings which are being used to fund loan acquisitions as well as temporary increases in our loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse finance balances due to the low rates which drove mortgage production volumes higher than the previous several periods.
Average balances of our interest-earning assets increased by $4.3 billion, or 25%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a $3.8 billion increase in loans and leases held for investment and a $0.8 billion increase in loans held for sale. This was partially offset by a $0.3 billion decrease in our investments portfolio.
The year over year increase in the average balance of loans and leases held for investment was $3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, as a result of increases of $1.5 billion, $1.6 billion and $0.7 billion in our residential mortgage, commercial and commercial real estate and equipment financing portfolios, respectively. The increase in the average balance of our residential mortgages portfolio is primarily due to the increased origination of preferred jumbo adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) product for investment and continued third party acquisitions of government insured pool buyouts. The increase in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio was mainly as a result of strong production in relation to paydowns in our commercial real estate portfolio coupled with the increase in the mortgage warehouse finance balance due to the differences in the interest rate environments in the two periods. In addition, our equipment finance portfolio saw continued strong origination volumes during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on the amounts of originations and paydowns of our loans held for investment.
The $0.8 billion increase in the average balance of our loans held for sale is a result of increased production in both our agency and jumbo preferred loan products due to the low interest rate environment experienced in the second quarter of 2015 coupled with an increase in jumbo preferred loan sales during the quarter. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold $651.5 million of our preferred jumbo ARM products and $405.9 million of our preferred jumbo fixed rate mortgage (FRM) products. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our loans held for sale.
The $0.3 billion decrease in the average balance of our investments portfolio is driven primarily by continued principal paydowns as well as the sale of certain investment securities during 2014 with relatively few investment security purchases. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our investment securities.
Average balances in our interest-bearing liabilities increased by $4.0 billion, or 26%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in the average balance of our deposits of $2.6 billion and an increase to FHLB advances of $1.5 billion. The increase in our deposit balances is primarily driven by an increase in time deposits coupled by an increase in our interest-bearing demand accounts. The increase in our average FHLB advance balance is due to an increase in short-term advances to help fund balance sheet growth due to loan acquisitions as well as to help fund temporary increases in our loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse finance balances.
Six Months Ended 2015 compared to Six Months Ended 2014
Net interest income increased by $53.4 million, or 20%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in interest income of $72.3 million, or 21%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $18.8 million, or 24%. Our net interest margin decreased by 20 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, which was led by a decrease in yields on our interest-earning assets due to a continued low interest rate environment and tighter spreads resulting from a contraction in refinance volume and price competition for new volumes partially offset by a decrease in yields on interest-bearing liabilities, which was affected by a relatively low interest rate environment.
Yields on our interest-earning assets decreased by 22 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in yields on our loans and leases held for investment and loans held for sale partially offset by an increase in yields on our investment securities.
The yields on our loans and leases held for investment portfolio decreased by 27 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 which was consistent across most of our portfolios. The yield on our residential mortgages held for investment decreased 13 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to continued production and acquisition of current market rate assets coupled with paydowns of higher yielding assets originated or purchased in a higher interest rate environment. In addition, the acquisition of several government insured pool buyout portfolios at current market rates drove yields lower in the residential portfolio. The yield on our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio decreased 39 basis points due to production of current market rate commercial and commercial real estate assets coupled with paydowns of higher yielding assets. In addition, the mix of the portfolio in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio changed during the first six months as low rates resulted in additional lending in our mortgage warehouse finance business which has the lowest yield of the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio due to the short-term nature of these assets. Yields on our equipment financing receivables decreased 91 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to continued production of leases at current market interest rates coupled with a decline in the accretion income associated with the leases acquired in the 2010 acquisition of our leasing business, which we acquired at a substantial discount to par due to market dislocation.
The yields on our loans held for sale decreased 54 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the decrease in the current market mortgage rates of our loans held for sale. Due to the nature of the loans held for sale account and the turnover of that account, the yields on these assets can vary depending on the current market interest rates.
The yield of our investment securities increased by 6 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
The yield on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased 4 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 which was led by a change in the relative make-up of our other borrowings balance partially offset by an increase in the rates paid on deposits. The rates paid on our other borrowings decreased 66 basis points in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the make-up of our FHLB balance, which saw an increase in our short-term borrowings which are being used to fund loan acquisitions as well as temporary increases in our loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse finance balances due to the low rates which drove mortgage production volumes higher than the previous several periods.
Average balances of our interest-earning assets increased by $4.6 billion, or 28%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a $4.1 billion increase in loans and leases held for investment and a $0.7 billion increase in loans held for sale. This was partially offset by a $0.3 billion decrease in our investments portfolio.
The year over year increase in the average balance of loans and leases held for investment was $4.1 billion in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, as a result of increases of $2.1 billion, $1.3 billion and $0.7 billion in our residential mortgage, commercial and commercial real estate and equipment financing portfolios, respectively. The increase in the average balance of our residential mortgages portfolio is primarily due to the increased origination of preferred jumbo ARM product for investment as well as third party acquisitions of government insured pool buyouts. The increase in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio was mainly a result of strong production in relation to paydowns in our commercial real estate portfolio coupled with the increase in the mortgage warehouse finance balance due to the differences in the interest rate environments in the two periods. In addition, our equipment finance portfolio saw continued strong origination volumes during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our loans held for investment.
The increase in the average balance of our loans held for sale is a result of increased production in both agency and jumbo preferred loans due to the low interest rate environment experienced in the first six months of 2015 coupled with an increase in jumbo preferred loans. During the first six months of 2015 the Company sold $710.1 million of our preferred jumbo ARM products and $537.3 million of our preferred jumbo FRM products. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our loans held for sale.
The decrease in the average balance of our investments portfolio is driven primarily by continued principal paydowns as well as the sale of certain investment securities during 2014. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our investment securities.
Average balances in our interest-bearing liabilities increased by $4.3 billion, or 29%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to increases in the average balance of our deposits of $2.6 billion and an increase to FHLB advances of $1.8 billion. The increase in our deposit balances is primarily being driven by an increase in time deposits coupled by an increase in our interest-bearing demand accounts. The increase in our average FHLB advance balance is due to an increase in short-term advances to help fund balance sheet growth due to loan acquisitions as well as to help fund temporary increases in our loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse finance balances.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
We assess the allowance for loan and lease losses and make provisions for loan and lease losses as deemed appropriate in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Increases in the allowance for loan and lease losses are achieved through provisions for loan and lease losses that are charged against net interest income. Additional allowance may result from a reduction of the net present value (NPV) of our ACI loans in instances where we have a decrease in our cash flow expectations.
The following tables provide a breakdown of the provision for loan and lease losses based on the method for determining the allowance at three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014: |

Second Quarter of 2015 Compared to Second Quarter of 2014
We recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2015, which is an increase of $1.8 million from $6.1 million in the same period in 2014. Provision expense increased primarily due to the continued growth in our loans held for investment balances due to acquisitions and origination of loans held for investment. Net charge-offs were $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $7.1 million in the same period in 2014. The net charge-off ratio was 0.10% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 0.19% in the same period in 2014. Our provision for loan and lease losses related to those loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment increased $2.7 million as a result of origination of loans and leases. In addition, the provision for our ACI pools increased $0.8 million due to the reassessment of cash flows of certain pools of ACI loans. This additional provision was partially offset by a decrease in the necessary provision for loans individually evaluated for impairment as that reserve fell to just $0.4 million as a result of charge-offs of previously impaired loans and the smaller necessary reserves on impaired loans as a result of both an improving economy as well as an improving commercial real estate market.
For further discussion of changes in our allowance for loan and lease losses as well as key credit metrics including delinquency profiles, please see the "Loan and Lease Quality" section for information on net charge-offs, non-performing assets, and other factors considered by
management in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing our allowance for loan and lease losses.
Six Months Ended 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended 2014
We recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $16.9 million in the first six months of 2015, which is an increase of $7.7 million from $9.2 million in the same period in 2014. Provision expense increased primarily due to the continued growth in our loans held for investment balances due to acquisitions and origination of loans held for investment. Net charge-offs were $11.7 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $10.9 million in the same period in 2014. The net charge-off ratio was 0.13% in the first six months of 2015 compared to 0.16% in the same period in 2014. Our provision for loan and lease losses related to those loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment increased $11.5 million, or 210%, as a result of the origination of loans and leases which was partially offset by a decrease in our provision for ACI loans due to releases of prior valuation allowances on our ACI pools driven by improved expectations of future cash flows.
For further discussion of changes in our allowance for loan and lease losses as well as key credit metrics including delinquency profiles, please see the "Loan and Lease Quality" section for information on net charge-offs, non-performing assets, and other factors considered by management in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing our allowance for loan and lease losses.

Second Quarter of 2015 compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Noninterest income decreased by $5.5 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by a reduction in gain on sale of loans, deposit fee income and other lease income partially offset by an increase in net loan servicing income.
Net loan servicing income increased by $4.9 million, or 23%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance associated with the fair market value of our MSR, partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing fees. We recovered $15.7 million of previously recorded valuation allowances in the second quarter of 2015 compared to no recoveries or impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2014. The impairment and recovery of MSR are a result of differences in expected prepayment speeds due to different rate environments at June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014. Loan servicing fee income decreased by $10.8 million, or 27%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the sale of $5.5 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of Federal Housing Administration (FHA) servicing rights to Green Tree Servicing LLC (GTS) effective May 1, 2015 as well as the previous sale of Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) servicing rights to GTS effective March 28, 2014. See "Analysis of Statement of Condition" for additional discussion of the changes in valuation allowance associated with our MSR.
Gain on sale of loans decreased by $7.1 million, or 15%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily driven by sales of $343 million of certain interest-only loans and $79.1 million of residential non-performing loans which resulted in additional gain on sale of loans of $11.6 million in 2014. These loans were selected for sale in 2014 due to the higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) FNMA assessments associated with carrying mortgages deemed "non-traditional mortgages" and non-performing assets. While sales of our non-agency jumbo loans were $1.1 billion during the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.4 billion during the same period in 2014, we elected fair value accounting on our fixed jumbo loan portfolio, which have hedging gains and losses associated with these loans. As such, these assets have a lower gain on sale than experienced in the second quarter of 2014 where we sold interest only and non-performing loans.
Loan production revenue increased by $0.8 million, or 16%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the aforementioned increases in origination volumes due to lower base mortgage rate (BMR). Direct revenues and expenses for our preferred ARM portfolio held for investment are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan, which helped offset some of the increase.
Deposit fee income decreased by $1.5 million, or 33%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the spot to forward differences in the currencies that we currently offer our customers. We mark our deposits to the current exchange rate and the foreign exchange forwards we use to hedge these deposits to the forward rate at the balance sheet date. As a result of some of the negative global economic news and the strength of the dollar, we saw a decrease in deposit fee income due to the mark to market differences in these two instruments.
Other lease income decreased by $1.7 million, or 45%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to decreases in the balance of our operating leases.
Other noninterest income decreased by $0.9 million, or 14%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014
primarily due to $1.3 million of gains related to sales of AFS securities in 2014.
Six Months Ended 2015 compared to Six Months Ended 2014
Noninterest income decreased by $57.5 million, or 33%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by a reduction in net loan servicing income and other lease income, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of loans and loan production revenue.
Net loan servicing income decreased by $55.6 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance associated with the fair market value of our MSR, which resulted in an MSR impairment of $27.6 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $4.9 million in recoveries recognized in the first six months of 2014. The impairment and recovery of MSR are a result of differences in expected prepayment rates due to differences in the interest rate environment at June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014. See "Analysis of Statement of Condition" for additional discussion of the changes in valuation allowance associated with our MSR. In addition, loan servicing fee income decreased by $23.3 million, or 26.8%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the sale of $9.9 billion in UPB of servicing rights to GTS on March 28, 2014 and the sale of $5.5 billion in UPB of servicing rights to GTS effective May 1, 2015. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in amortization of MSR due to the GTS sales noted above, which is partially offset by an increase in amortization of the remaining MSR portfolio due to higher prepayment speeds experienced and expected in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014.
Gain on sale of loans increased by $1.7 million, or 2.0%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily driven by higher loan production and sales volumes in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 as a result of a lower BMR over the period. Agency held for sale production volume was up slightly to $2.2 billion in the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.0 billion in the same period in 2014. In addition, we sold $1.2 billion of our preferred jumbo loans in the first six months of 2015, given balance sheet capacity as well as market opportunities available to us, compared to $502 million in the first six months of 2014. The increase in volume of loans originated and sold and corresponding increase in gain on sale of loans was partially offset by the sales of $343 million of certain interest-only loans and $79.1 million of residential non-performing loans which resulted in additional gain on sale of loans of $11.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. These loans were selected for sale due to the higher FDIC assessments associated with carrying mortgages deemed "non-traditional mortgages" and non-performing assets. In addition, we sold $103.3 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans through a clean-up call related to the Business Property Lending, Inc. (BPL) trusts resulting in a gain on sale of $1.1 million and sales of $37.2 million in our equipment financing receivables portfolio resulting in a gain on sale of $3.2 million during the first six months of 2015.
Loan production revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 17%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the aforementioned increases in origination volumes due to lower BMR. Direct revenues and expenses for our preferred ARM portfolio held for investment are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan, which partially offset some of the increase.
Other lease income decreased by $2.5 million, or 29%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to decreases in the balance of our operating leases.
Other noninterest income decreased by $1.9 million, or 14%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to $1.3 million of gains related to sales of AFS securities in 2014 and a $2.0 million gain on sale of MSR related to the GTS sale in the first quarter of 2014. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in income related to prepayment fees on certain serviced commercial loans acquired in the BPL acquisition.

Second Quarter of 2015 Compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Noninterest expense increased by $10.6 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by an increase in general and administrative expense partially offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by $13.0 million, or 28%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in our credit related, advertising and other general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our FDIC premium assessments, subservicing, and consent order expenses.
Credit related expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 35%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to increases in certain credit-related expenses associated with the sale of our FHA and VA servicing portfolio. We recorded additional expense for non-recoverable advances resulting from the sale and transfer of FHA servicing rights and associated advances to GTS. Advertising and marketing expense increased $1.3 million, or 27%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in advertising targeted on deposit growth. Other general and administrative expense increased $12.5 million, or 90%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a $5.8 million accrual for potential settlements and remediation associated with our servicing business. In addition, we had $3.5 million in transfer expenses including MERS filing fees, storage, legal and other transaction expenses associated with the sale of MSR that was completed in the second quarter of 2015. Other small increases included a decrease in the fair value of credit derivatives and an increase in the provision for unfunded commitments as a result of the increasing amounts of lines of credit outstanding.
These increases to general and administrative expense were partially offset by decreases in our FDIC premium assessments, subservicing, and consent order expenses. FDIC assessments decreased $0.7 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the continued decline of non-performing assets and relative amounts of brokered CDs and their positive effect on our insurance premium. Subservicing expenses declined by $1.1 million, or 46%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the termination of the subservicing agreement with GTS, effective May 1, 2015. Consent order expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 92%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 as additional third party costs and remediation accruals were not needed.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decline in full time employees as a result of the servicing platform and asset sales and other restructuring activities. This reduction in headcount as well as the reduction in the amount of equipment and space required for such personnel had a positive impact on occupancy and equipment expense in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
Six Months Ended 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended 2014
Noninterest expense increased by $5.5 million, or 2%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in noninterest expense was driven by increases in general and administrative expenses partially offset by decreases in salaries, commissions and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by $18.3 million, or 22%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to increases in other general and administrative, FDIC assessment, advertising and subservicing expenses partially offset by decreases in legal and credit related expenses. Other general and administrative expense increased $9.1 million, or 29%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a $5.8 million accrual for potential settlements and remediation associated with our servicing business. In addition, we had $3.5 million in transfer expenses including MERS filing fees, storage, legal and other transaction expenses associated with the sale of MSR that was completed in the second quarter of 2015. FDIC assessments increased $6.1 million, or 91%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a refund of previously paid FDIC assessments of $5.4 million received in the first six months of 2014 as well as the continued decline of non-performing assets and relative amounts of brokered CDs and their positive effect on our insurance premium. Advertising and marketing expense increased $3.6 million, or 38%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to targeted marketing aimed at deposit gathering initiatives as a result of the asset growth and third party acquisition opportunities that we have realized. Subservicing expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 107%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the execution of the subservicing agreement with GTS in May 2014, which was in place through May 1, 2015. As a result expenses were incurred for four months in the first six months of 2015 compared to two months in the first six months of 2014.
These increases in general and administrative expense were partially offset by a decrease in credit related expenses of $1.8 million, or 11%, and a decrease in legal and professional fees of $1.3 million, or 9%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
Salaries, commissions and employee benefits decreased by $5.2 million, or 3%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to lower headcount in our consumer banking business as a result of the restructuring and repositioning activities that were executed in May 2014 in conjunction with the transfer of our default servicing platform. The decrease caused by the reduction in headcount was partially offset by higher commissions and incentive expense created by higher production volumes related to the low rate environment during the first six months of 2015.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $7.6 million, or 15%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decline in the space and equipment needed to support our employees given the reduction in full time employees as a result of the servicing platform and asset sales and other restructuring activities that we performed in the second and third quarters of 2014. This reduction in headcount as well as the reduction in the amount of equipment and space required for such personnel had a positive impact on occupancy and equipment expense in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Segment Results
We evaluate our overall financial performance through three financial reporting segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Corporate Services. To generate financial information by operating segment, we use an internal profitability reporting system which is based on a series of management estimates and allocations. We continually review and refine many of these estimates and allocations, several of which are subjective in nature. Any changes we make to estimates and allocations that may affect the reported results of any business segment do not affect our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
We use funds transfer pricing in the calculation of each respective operating segment’s net interest income to measure the value of funds used in and provided by an operating segment. The difference between the interest income on earning assets and the interest expense on funding liabilities and the corresponding funds transfer pricing charge for interest income or credit for interest expense results in net interest income. We allocate risk-adjusted capital to our segments based upon the credit, liquidity, operating and interest rate risk inherent in the segment’s asset and liability composition and operations. These capital allocations are determined based upon formulas that incorporate regulatory, GAAP and economic capital frameworks including risk-weighting assets, allocating noninterest expense and incorporating economic liquidity premiums for assets deemed by management to lower liquidity profiles.
The following table summarizes segment earnings and total assets for each of our segments as of and for each of the periods shown: |

Second Quarter of 2015 compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Consumer Banking segment earnings decreased by $4.0 million, or 9%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in total noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense partially offset by an increase in net interest income.
Net interest income increased by $12.4 million, or 15%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in interest income of $28.7 million, or 24%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates. In addition, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased 13% as a result of changes in the provision for loan and leases losses and allowance for loan and leases losses. Please see "Loan and Lease Quality" for an explanation and rollforward of changes in the ALLL.
Noninterest income decreased by $8.6 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $11.5 million and deposit fee income of $1.6 million partially offset by an increase of $4.9 million in net loan servicing income in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" and "Analysis of Statement of Condition" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Noninterest expense increased by $6.0 million, or 5%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense as a result of the sale of our FHA servicing rights to GTS. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Six Months Ended 2015 compared to Six Months Ended 2014
Consumer Banking segment earnings decreased by $30.4 million, or 40%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in total noninterest income partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased by $24.9 million, or 16%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in interest income of $57.7 million, or 25%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $32.8 million in the first six months of 2015. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates.
Noninterest income decreased by $60.9 million, or 40%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net loan servicing income of $55.8 million, other income of $2.9 million and gain on sale of loans of $2.2 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" and "Analysis of Statement of Condition" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Noninterest expense decreased by $7.1 million, or 3%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in the first six months of 2015 was primarily due to decreases in salaries, commissions and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expense partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.

Second Quarter of 2015 compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Commercial Banking segment earnings increased by $18.4 million, or 47%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased by $16.5 million, or 27%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due mainly to higher average balances experienced in the three major categories of our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio as well as an increase in equipment financing receivables. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates.
Noninterest income increased by $3.3 million, or 35%, primarily due to an increase in other noninterest income partially offset by a decrease in other lease income. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Noninterest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 5%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense which was partially offset by a decrease in salaries, commissions and other employee expense and equipment and occupancy expenses. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Six Months Ended 2015 compared to Six Months Ended 2014
Commercial Banking segment earnings increased by $20.6 million, or 24%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased by $28.5 million, or 23%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due mainly to higher average balances experienced in the three major categories of our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio as well as an increase in equipment financing receivables. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates. In addition, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased 19% as a result of changes in the provision for loan and leases losses and allowance for loan and leases losses. Please see "Loan and Lease Quality" for an explanation and rollforward of changes in the ALLL.
Noninterest income increased by $3.5 million, or 18%, primarily due to an increase in other noninterest income partially offset by a decrease in other lease income. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.
Noninterest expense increased by $5.2 million, or 10%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense which was partially offset by decreases in salaries, commissions and other employee expense and equipment and occupancy expenses.

Second Quarter of 2015 compared to Second Quarter of 2014
Corporate Services segment loss increased by $3.5 million, or 13%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense.
Noninterest expense increased by $3.3 million, or 13%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions and employee benefits and general and administrative expense which was partially offset by an increase in inter-segment allocations for services provided directly to our other reportable segments.
Salaries, commissions and employee benefits increased $2.5 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to a 13% increase in headcount in our corporate services segment.

Analysis of Statements of Condition
Investment Securities
Our overall investment strategy focuses on acquiring investment-grade senior mortgage-backed securities backed by seasoned loans with high credit quality and credit enhancements to generate earnings in the form of interest and dividends while offering liquidity, credit and interest rate risk management opportunities to support our asset and liability management strategy. Within our investment strategy, we also utilize highly rated structured products including Re-securitized Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (Re-REMICs) for the added protection from credit losses and ratings deteriorations that accompany alternative securities. All securities investments satisfy our internal guidelines for credit profile and generally have a relatively short duration which helps mitigate interest rate risk arising from changes in market interest rates.
Available for sale securities are used as part of our asset and liability management strategy and may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, factors such as changes in market conditions and interest rates, changes in security prepayment rates, liquidity considerations and regulatory capital requirements.

Residential — Nonagency
At June 30, 2015, our residential nonagency portfolio consisted entirely of investments in residential nonagency CMO securities. Investments in residential nonagency CMO securities totaled $654.8 million, or 85%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential nonagency CMO securities decreased to $654.8 million at June 30, 2015 from $774.2 million at December 31, 2014, or 15%, primarily due to reductions in amortized cost resulting from principal payments received of $118.3 million.
Our residential nonagency CMO securities are secured by seasoned first-lien fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans backed by loan originators other than government sponsored entities (GSEs). Mortgage collateral is structured into a series of classes known as tranches, each of which contains a different maturity profile and pay-down priority in order to suit investor demands for duration, yield, credit risk and prepayment volatility. We have primarily invested in CMO securities rated in the highest category assigned by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization. Many of these securities are Re-REMICs, which adds credit subordination to provide protection against future losses and rating downgrades. Re-REMICs constituted $369.7 million, or 56%, of our residential nonagency CMO investment securities at June 30, 2015.
We have internal guidelines for the credit quality and duration of our residential nonagency CMO securities portfolio and monitor these on a regular basis. At June 30, 2015, the portfolio carried a weighted average Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), score of 728, a weighted average amortized loan-to-value ratio (LTV), of 59%, and was seasoned an average of 126 months. This portfolio includes protection against credit losses through subordination in the securities structures and borrower equity.
Other investments is comprised of residential agency CMO securities, residential agency MBS, and equity securities. Together, these available for sale assets decreased by $0.3 million, or 42%, from December 31, 2014, primarily related to market value adjustments of equity securities.
Residential — Agency
At June 30, 2015, our residential agency portfolio consisted of both residential agency CMO securities and residential agency MBS securities. Investments in residential agency CMO securities totaled $18.8 million, or 2%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential agency MBS portfolio totaled $90.8 million, or 12%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential agency portfolio is secured by seasoned first-lien fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans insured by GSEs.
Our residential agency CMO securities decreased by $9.0 million, or 32%, to $18.8 million at June 30, 2015 from $27.8 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to reductions to amortized cost resulting from principal payments received and the amortization of premiums and discounts. Our residential agency MBS securities increased by $3.3 million, or 4%, to $90.8 million at June 30, 2015, from $87.5 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to purchases of $5.0 million in additional securities.
Loans Held for Sale
The Company typically transfers originated or acquired residential mortgage loans to various financial institutions, government agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises. In addition, the Company enters into loan securitization transactions related to certain conforming residential mortgage loans. In connection with the conforming loan transactions, loans are converted into mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), FNMA or the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), and are subsequently sold to third party investors. Typically, the Company accounts for these transfers as sales and retains the right to service the loans. For non-conforming transactions, the Company sells whole loans outright to qualified institutional buyers and typically retains the related servicing rights.

Mortgage Warehouse
At June 30, 2015, our mortgage warehouse loans totaled $662.1 million, or 50%, of our total loans held for sale portfolio. Our mortgage warehouse loans are largely comprised of agency deliverable products that we typically sell within three months subsequent to origination. We economically hedge our mortgage warehouse portfolio with forward purchase and sales commitments designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on our balance sheet, we have elected fair value accounting on this portfolio of loans due to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. Mortgage warehouse loans increased by $251.2 million, or 61%, from December 31, 2014 due to higher originations in connection with a reduction in market interest rates in the comparable period.
The following table represents the length of time the mortgage warehouse loans have been classified as held for sale: |

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, we sold $36.8 million of the mortgage warehouse loans classified as held for sale that were held for more than 90 days. The remaining $17.5 million of warehouse loans held for more than 90 days were made up of conforming or government products and were current at June 30, 2015.
Other Residential Loans Carried at Fair Value
At June 30, 2015, our other residential loans carried at fair value totaled $653.8 million, or 49%, of our total loans held for sale portfolio. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on our balance sheet, we have elected the fair value option of accounting under U.S. GAAP for our originated fixed rate jumbo preferred loans held for sale. Electing to use fair value accounting allows a better offset of the changes in the fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. Other residential loans carried at fair value increased by $336.4 million from $317.4 million at December 31, 2014, in part due to originations of $915.1 million, sales of $552.7 million and paydowns and payoffs of $26.2 million during the year.

Government Insured
At June 30, 2015, our government insured pool buyout loans totaled $0.2 million, or less than 0.1%, of our total loans held for sale portfolio, which is a decrease of $12.4 million from December 31, 2014 when our government insured pool buyouts loans totaled $12.6 million. Government insured pool buyout loans are transferred to our held for sale portfolio upon re-performance and are subsequently re-securitized and sold or sold to third parties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we transferred $217.3 million and $485.7 million, respectively, of government insured pool buyout loans from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Of those government insured pool buyout loans transferred to loans held for sale, we transferred $36.3 million and $140.0 million of conforming mortgages to GNMA in exchange for mortgage-backed securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 respectively and subsequently sold the securities to third parties. The vast majority of remaining loans were sold to third parties through whole loan sales.
Other Residential Loans Carried at Lower of Cost or Market Value (LOCOM)
Our other residential loans carried at LOCOM decreased by $220.5 million, or 95%, from $232.5 million at December 31, 2014 to $12.1 million at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we transferred $194.1 million of our other residential loans from held for sale to held for investment, transferred $709.7 million of our other residential loans from held for investment to held for sale and sold loans with a recorded investment of $720.4 million. The remaining change in balance relates to paydowns and payoffs.
Commercial and Commercial Real Estate
Our commercial and commercial real estate loans totaled $2.5 million, or 0.2%, for our total loans held for sale at June 30, 2015, which is an increase of $2.5 million from December 31, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company voluntarily repurchased $105.7 million of loans from its BPL trusts through a clean-up call and sold $103.3 million of those loans to third party purchasers.

Residential Mortgage Loans
At June 30, 2015, our residential mortgage loans totaled $6.9 billion, or 35%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. We primarily offer our customers residential closed-end mortgage loans typically secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties.
Residential mortgage loans increased by $574.3 million, or 9%, to $6.9 billion at June 30, 2015 from $6.3 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to retained originations of $1.9 billion and loans transferred from held for sale (HFS) to held for investment (HFI) of $194.1 million in UPB partially offset by transfers of $709.7 million in UPB of loans from HFI to HFS as well as paydowns and payoffs of existing loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Government Insured Buyouts
At June 30, 2015, our government insured buyout loan portfolio totaled $3.8 billion, or 19%, of our total loans and leases held for investment portfolio. Government insured pool buyouts increased by $229.3 million, or 6%, to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2015 from $3.6 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of mortgage pool buyout purchases and re-acquisitions of $1.2 billion partially offset by $485.7 million of loans being transferred from loans HFI to loans HFS, $477.1 million of delinquent loans reaching foreclosure, and the product of paydowns and payoffs of existing loans.
We have a history of servicing FHA loans. As a servicer, the buyout opportunity is the right to purchase above market rate, government insured loans at par (i.e., the amount that has to be passed through to the GNMA security holder when repurchased). The Company also acquires mortgage pool buyouts through third-party acquisitions. At June 30, 2015, primarily all of the mortgage pool buyout purchases noted above related to acquisitions from third-parties. For banks like EB, with cost effective sources of short-term capital, this strategy represents a very attractive return with limited additional investment risk.
Each loan in a GNMA pool is insured or guaranteed by one of several federal government agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) or the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service. The loans must at all times comply with the requirements for maintaining such insurance or guarantee. Prior to our acquisition of these loans, we perform due diligence to ensure a valid guarantee is in place; therefore we believe that a negligible amount of principal is at risk.
Duration is a potential risk of holding these loans and exposes us to interest rate risk and the risk of a funding mismatch. In most cases, acquired loans or loans purchased out of our servicing assets are greater than 89 days past due upon purchase. Loans that go through foreclosure have an expected duration of one to two years, depending on the state’s servicing timelines. Bankruptcy proceedings and loss mitigation requirements could extend the duration of these loans. Extensions for these reasons do not impact the insurance or guarantee and are modeled into the acquisition price.
Loans can re-perform on their own or through loss mitigation and/or modification. Most loans are 20 to 30 year fixed rate instruments. Re-performing loans earn a higher yield as they can earn an above market note rate rather than a government guaranteed reimbursement rate. In order to mitigate the duration risk on re-performing loans, EverBank has the ability to sell those loans into the secondary market.
Before we contract a third party to service a portion of our government insured buyout portfolio, we perform due diligence to ensure the servicer is (1) an approved servicer of mortgage loans for the various GSEs and other government agencies, (2) properly licensed and qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such licensing and qualification is necessary, (3) an approved servicer for any nationally recognized insurer providing mortgage insurance on the loans being serviced, and (4) qualified to act as servicer, and we confirm that no event has occurred which would make the third party unable to comply with all such eligibility requirements or would require notification to the GSEs or other government agencies.
Under these government programs, servicing operations must comply with the government agencies' servicing requirements in order to avoid interest curtailments (principal is not at risk). As a result, operational capacity poses a risk to the potential claim payment through missed servicing milestones.

At June 30, 2015, our mortgage warehouse finance portfolio totaled $2.2 billion, or 11%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Our mortgage warehouse finance business provides short-term revolving facilities, primarily collateralized by agency and government residential loans, to mid-sized, high-quality mortgage banking companies across the country.
Mortgage warehouse finance increased by $798.9 million, or 59%, to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2015 from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2014. This change was primarily due to increased utilization by existing customers of $555.9 million in borrowings, as well as origination activity of $242.9 million. Due both to the short-term, revolving nature of these lines, which generally turn over at least every 90 days, and our customer's focus on residential financing, fluctuations in utilization rates noted between periods are generally driven by strengthening or weakening in residential mortgage demand as well as our ability to encourage customers to choose our lines over other potential funding options.
Lender Finance
At June 30, 2015, our lender finance portfolio totaled $914.4 million, or 5%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Our lender finance business provides revolving lines of credit and term loans secured by equipment and receivables primarily to specialty finance companies on a national basis. These specialty finance companies are distributed among multiple sectors including healthcare, air, rail, container, middle market lender, equipment leasing and specialty lending sectors.
Lender finance increased by $152.0 million, or 20%, to $914.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $762.5 million at December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to new origination activity of $239.9 million, which was partially offset by decreases in utilization by existing customers of $86.7 million. Due both to the short-term, revolving nature of these lines and the diversified operations of our customers within multiple sectors, fluctuations in utilization rates noted between periods are generally driven by changes in the need for specialty financing as impacted by overall economic developments within the U.S. economy as well as our ability to encourage customers to choose our lines over other potential funding options.
Other Commercial and Commercial Real Estate
At June 30, 2015, our other commercial and commercial real estate portfolio totaled $3.7 billion, or 19%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Other commercial and commercial real estate business consists of asset-based lending, owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and commercial investment properties.
Other commercial and commercial real estate increased by $204.1 million, or 6%, to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2015 from $3.5 billion at December 31, 2014. This change was primarily due to originations of $463.3 million and purchases of $91.7 million partially offset by paydowns of $342.1 million. The purchases noted above represent the asset based lending loans purchased during the second quarter as documented in Note 5.
Equipment Financing Receivables
Equipment financing receivables increased by $115.0 million, or 6%, to $2.1 billion, or 11%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2015 from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was the result of originations of $516.8 million and earned income of $55.0 million, partially offset by paydowns on existing loan and lease receivables of $411.1 million, $37.2 million of loans transferred from HFI to HFS, amortization of deferred origination costs of $9.7 million, charge-offs of $5.5 million and loan and lease expirations. Our equipment finance portfolio generally consists of short-term and medium-term leases and loans secured by essential use office product, healthcare, industrial, trucking and information technology equipment to small and mid-size lessees and borrowers.
Home Equity Lines
At June 30, 2015, our home equity lines totaled $237.2 million, or 1%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio, an increase of $80.4 million, or 51%, from $156.9 million at December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily the result of originations of $102.7 million partially offset by paydowns on our existing lines of credit.
Consumer and Credit Card Loans
At June 30, 2015, consumer and credit card loans, in the aggregate, totaled $4.9 million, or less than 1% of our total held for investment portfolio a decrease of $0.2 million from $5.1 million at December 31, 2014. These loans include direct personal loans, credit card loans and lines of credit, automobile and other loans to our clients which are generally secured by personal property. Lines of credit are generally floating rate loans that are unsecured or secured by personal property.

We carry MSR at amortized cost net of any required valuation allowance. We amortize MSR in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and evaluate MSR quarterly for impairment.
Originated servicing rights increased by $6.0 million, or 57%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, and by $6.7 million, or 30%, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage loans sold in the period of $0.8 billion and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. Mortgage origination volumes and sales volumes were elevated when compared to the same period in 2014 due to a low BMR coupled with volatility in the BMR.
Sale of servicing rights increased by $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, and decreased by $21.5 million, or 39%, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is due to the sale of $4.6 billion in UPB of capitalized FHA servicing rights to GTS effective May 1, 2015 while there were no sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease for the sixth months ended June 30, 2015 is due to the previous sale of FNMA servicing rights to GTS effective March 28, 2014 of $55.5 million compared to a $34.0 million sale in May 2015.
Amortization expense remained relatively flat, decreasing by less than 1%, during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 and decreasing by $0.3 million, or 1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is due to a decrease in the MSR amortization on our commercial MSR which declined to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2014.
At June 30, 2015, we recorded a $13.1 million valuation allowance on our residential MSR primarily as a result of the expected sale of servicing to Nationstar Mortgage LLC (NSM). The purchase and sale agreement with NSM was entered into on April 27, 2015 and includes the sale of approximately $6.4 billion in UPB of MSR to NSM. The sale to NSM is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015, pending Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private investor approvals. Given the timing of the transaction and the evidence provided through the negotiation regarding the fair value of the Company's MSR, we incorporated the bid information received into the estimate of the fair value of MSR.
As a result of the sale to GTS effective May 1, 2015, we determined that $14.5 million of the basis of our MSR asset was permanently impaired and non-recoverable and thus wrote off the $14.5 million through our valuation allowance upon sale.

Other assets decreased by $34.4 million, or 3%, to $963.7 million at June 30, 2015 from $998.1 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was driven primarily by decreases in income taxes receivable, servicing advances and corporate advances which were partially offset by increases in foreclosure claims receivable, accrued interest receivable, fair value of derivatives and margin receivable.
Income taxes receivable decreased by $58.2 million, or 68%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The decrease was due to the accrual of the current year's income tax liability in the second quarter of 2015 as well as a tax refund that was received from the federal government during the first quarter of 2015 in the amount of $37.2 million.
Servicing advances decreased $31.0 million, or 33%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in escrow advances related to the MSR that was sold to GTS.
Corporate advances decreased $17.5 million, or 35%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of mortgage servicing rights and related advances to GTS.
Foreclosure claims receivable increased by $22.0 million, or 5%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the timing and amount of new claims being added to the balance and claims being received as well as reduced levels of delinquent GNMA pool buyout acquisitions when compared to the activity experienced during 2014.
Accrued interest receivable increased $23.2 million, or 18%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the period end balance of our government insured pool buyouts from $3.6 billion at December 31, 2014 to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2015 as well as a small increase in the average months delinquency within the portfolio.
The fair value of derivatives increased $12.0 million, or 64%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The change in fair value of derivatives was due to increases in the value of certain of our forward and optional forward sales commitments and interest rate lock commitments, which are sensitive to interest rate changes and experience appreciation in value when interest rates experience a period of growth or are expected to grow prospectively as was the environment during the first two quarters of 2015.
Margin receivable increased by $8.6 million, or 24%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The increase in margin receivable was primarily the result of a decline in the fair values of derivative instruments in a net liability position that are subject to master netting agreements. As the fair values of these derivative liability positions decline, less of our margin receivable is utilized in offsetting derivative liability positions in the balance sheet. See Note 12 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to our netting and cash collateral adjustments.
Deferred Tax Liability
Net deferred tax liability increased by $10.0 million from $17.2 million at December 31, 2014 to $27.3 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to other comprehensive income adjustments related to interest rate swaps and mark-to-market adjustments. The overall increase to the deferred tax liability was partially offset by MSR adjustments related to the sale of MSR to GTS.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $16.9 million to a loss of $48.7 million at June 30, 2015, from a loss of $65.6 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to net unrealized gains as a result of changes in fair value related to our interest rate swaps in addition to the reclassifications of unrealized losses during the period into income.
Loan and Lease Quality
We use a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our portfolio of loans and leases. Our underwriting policies and practices govern the risk profile, credit and geographic concentration for our loan and lease portfolios. We also have a comprehensive methodology to monitor these credit quality standards, including a risk classification system that identifies potential problem loans based on risk characteristics by loan type as well as the early identification of deterioration at the individual loan level. In
addition to our ALLL, we have additional protections against potential credit losses, including credit indemnification agreements, purchase discounts on acquired loans and leases and other credit-related reserves, such as those on unfunded commitments.
Discounts on Acquired Loans and Lease Financing Receivables
For acquired credit-impaired, or ACI, loans accounted for under accounting standards codification (ASC) 310-30, we periodically reassess cash flow expectations at a pool or loan level. In the case of improving cash flow expectations for a particular loan or pool of loans, we reclassify an amount of non-accretable difference as accretable yield, thus increasing the prospective yield of the pool. In the case of deteriorating cash flow expectations, we record a provision for loan or lease losses following the allowance for loan loss framework. For more information on ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, see Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents a bridge from UPB, or contractual net investment, to carrying value for ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

In our residential ACI portfolio, a reduction in the impairment reserve of $0.8 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Within this portfolio, we also reclassified $8.5 million to nonaccretable difference from accretable yield due to decreases in cash flow expectations on our government insured pool buyouts.
In our commercial and commercial real estate ACI portfolio, a reduction in the impairment reserve of $1.7 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Within this portfolio, we reclassified $0.3 million from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield due to increases in cash flow expectations.
Problem Loans and Leases
Loans and leases are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual, which is generally when the loan becomes 90 days past due as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), with the exception of government insured loans and ACI loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from interest income, and both the accrual of interest income and the amortization of unamortized deferred fees, costs, discounts and premiums are suspended. Concurrent with the placing of a loan on nonaccrual status, an assessment must be performed, considering both the creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of any collateral underlying the loan, to determine whether doubt exists about the collectability of the recorded investment in the loan. If collectability of the recorded investment in the loan is in doubt, any payments received subsequent to placing the loan on nonaccrual status are applied using the cost recovery method reducing the recorded investment to the extent necessary to eliminate such doubt. Once it can be determined that no doubt exists regarding the collectability of the recorded investment in the loan, subsequent interest payments may be recorded as interest income on a cash basis.
For purposes of disclosure in the table below, we exclude government insured pool buyout loans from our definition of non-performing loans and leases. We also exclude ACI loans from non-performing status because we expect to fully collect their new carrying value which reflects purchase discounts. If we are unable to reasonably estimate future cash flows, these loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income will not be recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.
Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until sold, and is carried at the balance of the loan at the time of foreclosure or at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, whichever is less.
In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Loans restructured with terms and at a rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable risk at the time the contract is modified are not considered to be impaired loans in calendar years subsequent to the restructuring.
The following table sets forth the composition of our non-performing assets (NPA) including nonaccrual, accruing loans and leases past due 90 or more days, TDR and OREO, as of the dates indicated. The balances of NPA reflect the net investment in such assets including deductions for purchase discounts.

(1) | We define NPA as nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed property. Our NPA calculation excludes government insured pool buyout loans for which payment is insured by the government. We also exclude ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 because we expect to fully collect the carrying value of such loans. |
Total NPA and TDR increased by $7.6 million, or 7%, to $120.7 million at June 30, 2015 from $113.1 million at December 31, 2014. This increase was comprised of a $12.2 million increase in nonaccrual loans and leases and a $1.1 million increase in TDRs less than 90 days past due, partially offset by a $5.7 million decrease in OREO. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily attributable to a increase of $6.9 million, or 17%, in commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans and an increase of $3.6 million, or 40%, in equipment financing receivables nonaccrual loan and leases.
Total regulatory NPA and TDR increased by $258.5 million, or 9%, to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in total regulatory NPA and TDR was primarily driven by an increase of $254.8 million, or 10% in government insured loans 90 days or more past due still accruing which is reflective of the increase in government insured pool buyouts in our loans held for investment portfolio.
We use an asset risk classification system in compliance with guidelines established by the OCC Handbook as part of our efforts to monitor asset quality. In connection with examinations of insured institutions, examiners have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful,” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions
and values. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. Commercial loans with adverse classifications are reviewed by the commercial credit committee of our executive credit committee monthly.
In addition to the problem loans described above, as of June 30, 2015, we had special mention loans and leases totaling $68.1 million, or 0.3% of the total loan portfolio, which are not included in either the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan and lease categories. Special mention loans exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends that may result in future rating downgrades, but no loss of principal or interest is expected at this time. Special mention loans and leases increased by $5.5 million, or 9%, to $68.1 million at June 30, 2015, from $62.5 million at December 31, 2014. This increase in special mention loans and leases was comprised of a $22.8 million increase in commercial real estate, a $13.1 million decrease in lender finance and a $4.2 million decrease in equipment financing receivables. The increase in commercial real estate special mention loans was primarily driven by a $38.0 million relationship where the tenant is undertaking a global review of all of their real estate and, to avoid automatic extension of their lease, has provided notice to the borrower that they will not be extending their leases. The loan and lease mature April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. We continue to receive regular updates from our borrower on their dialogue with the tenant.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, $2.3 million of interest income would have been recognized in accordance with contractual terms had nonaccrual loans and TDRs been current. For these loans, $0.5 million was included in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The recorded investment in loans and leases held for investment, excluding ACI loans, increased by $1.8 billion, or 12%, to $16.8 billion at June 30, 2015 from $14.9 billion at December 31, 2014. The growth is primarily attributable to new originations and strategic acquisitions of residential mortgages and commercial and commercial real estate partially offset by transfers of residential mortgages to HFS.
Residential
The recorded investment in residential mortgages, excluding ACI loans, increased by $0.5 billion, or 6%, to $7.8 billion at June 30, 2015, from $7.3 billion at December 31, 2014. The ALLL for residential mortgages, excluding ACI loans, increased by $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $19.2 million at June 30, 2015, from $19.1 million at December 31, 2014. Charge-off activity for residential mortgages was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Loan performance and historical loss rates are analyzed using the prior 12 months delinquency rates and actual charge-offs.
ACI loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and accrue income over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Under the accounting guidance, expected losses are a component of the expected cash flow analysis performed with no allowance necessary unless the present value of future expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the pool decreases such that the book value of the pool is considered impaired. As of June 30, 2015, less than $5.2 million of allowance exists for our residential ACI portfolio as it has been performing as expected. Non-ACI loans are also recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and only credit losses subsequent to acquisition are included in the allowance for loan losses. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date. Although we structure all of our loan sales as non-recourse, the underlying sales agreements require us to make certain market standard representations and warranties at the time of sale, which may require under certain circumstances for us to repurchase a loan that does not meet these representations and warranties. Repurchased loans are acquired at fair value and when delinquent are recorded at collateral value with no associated allowance. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date.
The table below presents our residential mortgage portfolio, excluding government insured, by origination/vintage year and by product type. The table further segregates our portfolio between loans that were originated by the Company and those that were acquired. The differentiation between acquired loans and originated loans is due to the difference in the accounting guidance applicable to each of these pools of loans when it comes to the recording of our allowance for loan and lease losses. For acquired or repurchased loans, the origination year is based on the loan's origination date. |

Due to recent economic conditions, our capacity for balance sheet growth and the historical credit quality of our originated jumbo loans, we have retained a significant portion of the preferred jumbo ARM products that we have originated since 2010. Our sales team targets borrowers with high FICO scores and our underwriting standards require low LTV ratios. The result of these underwriting practices is a portfolio with high credit quality and LTV ratios that provide greater collateral coverage for potential losses. As of June 30, 2015, the $5.6 billion in residential loans originated on or after January 1, 2010 and retained in loans held for investment had a weighted average original LTV of 66% and a weighted average original FICO score of 763. Of those originated residential loans, $4.0 million were greater than 30 days past due and $2.9 million were on non-accrual status at June 30, 2015.

Government insured pool buyouts consist of loans that are insured or guaranteed by one of several federal government agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans’ Affairs or the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service. As a servicer of these loans, we have the opportunity to purchase above market rate, government insured loans at par. In most cases, acquired loans or loans purchased out of our servicing assets are greater than 89 days past due upon purchase and are therefore accounted for as ACI loan acquisitions. Loans that go through foreclosure have an expected duration of one to two years, depending on the state’s servicing timelines, which may vary widely based on state foreclosure laws. Allowance related to these government insured loans is low as payment of a majority of the principal, interest and servicer advances related to these loans is insured by the various government agencies.

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate
The recorded investment for commercial and commercial real estate loans, excluding ACI loans, increased by $1.2 billion, or 22%, to $6.6 billion at June 30, 2015, from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase is due to the organic growth in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The ALLL for commercial and commercial real estate loans, excluding ACI loans, increased by 26%, to $26.6 million at June 30, 2015, from $21.1 million at December 31, 2014. The ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment for commercial and commercial real estate, excluding ACI loans, remained static at 0.4% as of June 30, 2015 compared with 0.4% at December 31, 2014. The consistency in coverage ratio is reflective of continued diligence in ensuring that newly originated loans adhere to higher underwriting standards than in previous periods.
For commercial and commercial real estate loans, the most significant historical loss factors include credit quality and charge-off activity. The loss factors used in our allowance calculation have remained consistent over the periods presented. Charge-off activity is analyzed using a 15 quarter time period to determine loss rates consistent with loan segments used in recording the allowance estimate. During periods of more consistent and stable performance, this 15 quarter period is considered the most relevant starting point for analyzing the reserve. During periods of significant volatility and severe loss experience, a shortened time period may be used which is more reflective of expected future losses. At June 30, 2015, two segments that are included in commercial and commercial real estate loans used shortened historical loss periods of 9 and 8 quarters compared to two segments having used 8 and 7 at December 31, 2014. Charge-off activity for commercial and commercial real estate increased to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Loan delinquency is one of the leading indicators of credit quality. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 0.1% of the recorded investment in commercial and commercial real estate, excluding ACI loans, was past due.
Acquired credit impaired loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and accrue income over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Under the accounting guidance, expected losses are a component of the expected cash flow analysis performed with no allowance necessary at the time of acquisition. An allowance is recorded when the present value of future expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the pool decreases after the acquisition date such that the book value of the pool is considered impaired. As of June 30, 2015 our commercial ACI portfolio had an allowance of $0.4 million or 0.25% of the recorded investment in commercial ACI loans. Non-ACI loans are also recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and only credit losses subsequent to acquisition are included in the allowance for loan losses. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date. A majority of the $1.4 billion in non-credit impaired, acquired loans were acquired in our acquisition of BPL at fair value with no allowance recorded at acquisition. As additional losses are incurred and modeled, we record the applicable provision and allowance for loan and lease losses.
The table below presents our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio by origination/vintage year and by product type and further segregates our portfolio between those loans originated or acquired by the Company. The differentiation made between acquired loans and originated loans is due to the difference in the accounting guidance applicable to each of these pools of loans when it comes to the recording of our allowance for loan and lease losses. For acquired loans, the origination year is based on the loans origination date.

(1) | Represents short-term revolving credit facilities, which are underwritten every 364 or 365 days. These loans are considered to be originated by the Company, as these loans were acquired in 2012 and have been subsequently underwritten by the Company. |
| |
(2) | Lender finance loans are categorized based on the origination date of the borrower's original credit facility. Due to the unique nature of these loans and the Company's extensive underwriting process, these loans are categorized as originated by the Company. |
As of June 30, 2015, the $5.0 billion of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 had a weighted average LTV of 60%. The weighted average LTV ratio calculated above excludes our mortgage warehouse finance loans as these loans are comprised of repurchase agreements executed with well capitalized mortgage lenders. Mortgage warehouse finance loans are typically collateralized by agency deliverable loans and are underwritten at a discount when compared to the UPB of the originated mortgage loans to account for potential reductions in the fair value of the loan subsequent to origination. The weighted average LTV ratio also excludes lender finance loans due to the structured nature of these participated loans. Of the $5.0 billion of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010, none were greater than 30 days past due and none were on non-accrual status at June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015, $21.3 million or 0.42% of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 are rated as watch, representing loans that may have exhibited potential signs of credit weakness but remain pass rated due to an expectation that the borrower will be able to stabilize its performance and the potential for future losses is minimized, while no loans are rated as special mention. Special mention loans represent loans that have a pending event that will occur within the next 180 days that could create a material weakness in the transaction and could jeopardize loan repayment and possibly lead to a future loss event. The special mention rating is generally viewed as being temporary in nature such that the loan is expected to either be upgraded to a pass rating or downgraded to a substandard rating. A substandard rating represents loans for which the balance is considered at risk as it is not adequately protected by the paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any, leading to the possibility of future losses. As of June 30, 2015, $3.1 million or 0.06% of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 are rated as substandard. All remaining loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 are rated as pass.

Our equipment financing business finances essential-use health care, office products, technology, transportation, construction and other types of equipment primarily to small and medium-sized lessees and borrowers with financing terms ranging from 36 to 72 months. Allowance related to these loans and leases is low due to the shorter financing terms of these products and the quality of the underlying collateral securing the transaction. Of the $2.1 billion in equipment financing receivables less than 30 days past due as of June 30, 2015, $8.9 million are on nonaccrual status and of the $20.1 million in equipment financing receivables 30-89 days past due as of June 30, 2015, $2.0 million are on nonaccrual status. It is the Company's policy to keep a loan or lease on nonaccrual status until the borrower has demonstrated performance according to the terms of their agreement for a period generally of at least six months.

The increase in net charge-offs is primarily a result of an increase in net charge-offs associated with equipment financing receivables line of business offset by a decrease in net charge-offs of commercial and commercial real estate loans.
Loans Subject to Representations and Warranties
We originate residential mortgage loans, primarily first-lien home loans, through our retail, consumer direct and correspondent channels with the intent of selling a substantial majority of them in the secondary mortgage market. We sell and securitize conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans predominantly to GSEs, such as FNMA and FHLMC. We also sell residential mortgage loans that do not meet the criteria for whole loan sales to GSEs (nonconforming mortgage or jumbo loans) to private non-GSE purchasers through whole loan sales and securitizations.
Although we structure all of our loan sales as non-recourse sales, the underlying sale agreements require us to make certain market standard representations and warranties at the time of sale, which may vary from agreement to agreement. Such representations and warranties typically include those made regarding the existence and sufficiency of file documentation, credit information, compliance with underwriting guidelines and the absence of fraud by borrowers or other third parties such as appraisers in connection with obtaining the loan. We have exposure to potential loss because, among other things, the representations and warranties we provide purchasers typically survive for the life of the loan.
If it is determined that the loans sold are (1) with respect to the GSEs, in breach of these representations or warranties, or (2) with respect to non-GSE purchasers, in material breach of these representations and warranties, we generally have an obligation to either: (a) repurchase the loan for the UPB, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. Our obligations vary based upon the nature of the repurchase demand and the current status of the mortgage loan.
At the time of repurchase, we determine whether to hold the loan for sale or for investment. If the loan is sellable on the secondary market, we may elect to do so. If the loan is not sellable on the secondary market or there are other reasons why we would elect to retain the loan, we will service the asset to minimize our losses. This may include, depending on the status of the loan at the time of repurchase, modifying the loan, or foreclosing the loan and subsequent liquidation of the mortgage property.
We also have limited repurchase exposure for early payment defaults (EPD) which are typically triggered if a borrower does not make the first several payments due after the mortgage loan has been sold to an investor. Certain of our private investors have agreed to waive EPD provisions for conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans and certain jumbo loan products. However,
we are subject to EPD provisions and prepayment protection provisions on non-conforming jumbo loan products and community reinvestment loans. Total non-conforming jumbo UPB and community reinvestment loans sold subject to EPD protection was $1.1 billion at June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015, we had 271 active repurchase requests related to loans previously sold or securitized by the Company. We have summarized the activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 below regarding repurchase requests received, requests successfully defended, and loans that we repurchased or for which we indemnified investors or made investors whole with the corresponding origination years:

(1) | Request rate is calculated as the number of requests received to date, compared to the total number of loans sold for the period. |
The most common reasons for loan repurchases and make-whole payments relate to missing documentation, program violation, and claimed misrepresentations related to undisclosed debts, appraisal value and/or stated income. Additionally, we also received requests to repurchase or make whole loans because they did not meet the specified investor guidelines. Repurchase demands relating to EPDs generally surface within six (6) months of selling the loan to an investor. From 2004 through 2009, we sold loans servicing released, therefore the lack of servicing statistics and status of the loans sold is not known. As such, there is additional uncertainty surrounding the reserves for repurchase obligations for loans sold or securitized.
Along with the contingent obligation associated with representations and warranties noted above, the Company also has a noncontingent obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the representations and warranties. A liability is established when the obligation is both probable and reasonably estimable and is recognized as a reduction on net gain on loan sales and securitizations. When
calculating the reserve associated with this noncontingent obligation, we estimate the probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in repurchase requests and actual loss severities experienced.
Recently the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that a new representations and warranties framework was to be implemented in order to provide lenders a higher degree of certainty and clarity around repurchase exposure, as well as consistency around repurchase timelines and remedies. Version one of the framework applies to conventional loans that were acquired by the GSEs, on a flow basis after January 1, 2013 but before July 1, 2014, while version two of the framework applies to conventional loans that were acquired by the GSEs on a flow basis on or after July 1, 2014. Under the new framework, lenders will be relieved of their obligation to remedy mortgage loans that are in breach of certain underwriting and eligibility representations and warranties if the borrower meets one of two payment history requirements and the other eligibility criteria described herein. To be eligible for relief under the framework, a mortgage loan must meet the following requirements: (A) the mortgage loan must have an acquisition date after January 1, 2013 (see applicable dates above) and (B) the mortgage loan must meet one of the following payment history requirements: (1) the borrower was not 30 days delinquent during the 36 months following the acquisition date or (2) the borrower (i) had no more than two 30-day delinquencies and no 60-day or greater delinquencies, during the 36 months following the acquisition date; and (ii) was current as of the 60th month (36th month for loans under version two of the framework) following the acquisition date. To be eligible for relief under the new framework a loan: (1) must be a conventional mortgage loan sold to the GSEs on a flow basis, (2) cannot have been sold to the GSEs with any credit enhancements other than the traditional private mortgage insurance (PMI), (3) cannot have been subject to a forbearance agreement, repayment plan or otherwise have been modified from its original terms during the applicable qualifying pay history, (4) cannot have had any delinquencies between the origination date and GSE acquisition date, and (5) must not be subject to an outstanding repurchase or make-whole request.

The liability for repurchase losses decreased by $8.2 million, or 31%, from $26.4 million as of June 30, 2014 to $18.1 million as of June 30, 2015. The decrease in liability is primarily due to the decreased number of repurchase requests received from investors over the comparable time period, an increase in net realized losses and a release of provision due to the settlement of pending repurchase requests with a UPB of $17.3 million, and a slight increase in the reserve for new sales and securitizations.
The following table provides a breakout of the repurchase reserve into its major components as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: |
| | | | | | | |

Remaining repurchase reserve | 3,649 |

|
Total repurchase reserve | $ | 18,145 |
| | $ | 25,940 |
|
The reserve for active repurchase request (pending pipeline) represents repurchase requests that have already been received by the Company from a third party investor, however the request is still active as a final settlement has not yet been agreed upon. As these requests have already been received the Company no longer needs to estimate the probability of receiving a request, thus reducing some uncertainty within the estimated reserve. Loss estimates for these active requests are estimated based on the investor’s current requested amount and historical loss trends from previously completed or settled requests. When taken together, these factors have greatly reduced the uncertainty within the underlying estimate and any changes to the Company's current estimation process will not have a material impact on its financial presentation.
As seen in the pending pipeline analysis below, the majority of active repurchase requests are for loans sold or securitized prior to 2010. We believe repurchase requests for these vintages will ease going forward as the FHFA announced in 2013 its goal for GSEs to complete their demands for remedies for breaches of representations and warranties related to pre-conservatorship loan activity. We have seen an easing of repurchase requests related to most of our counterparties as a result of the GSEs progress. The Company received 94 repurchase requests in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 240 repurchase requests for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Along with the easing of repurchase requests, the Company has also continued to settle outstanding repurchase requests through make-whole payments, loan repurchases and rescinded requests. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company settled 176 repurchase requests and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company settled 198 repurchase requests.

Noting the reduced uncertainty within the Company’s pending pipeline, the relaxed representation and warranties framework provided by the GSEs, and the trends noted within the Company’s current pending pipeline, the Company no longer considers its reserve for repurchase obligations for loans sold or securitized to be a significant accounting estimate.
Loan Servicing
When we service residential mortgage loans where either FNMA or FHLMC is the owner of the underlying mortgage loan asset, we are subject to potential repurchase risk for: (1) breaches of loan level representations and warranties even though we may not have originated the mortgage loan; and (2) failure to service such loans in accordance with the applicable GSE servicing guide. If a loan purchased or securitized by FNMA or FHLMC is in breach of an origination representation or warranty, such GSE may look to the loan servicer for repurchase. If we are obligated to repurchase a loan from either FNMA or FHLMC, we seek indemnification from the counterparty that sold us the MSR, which presents potential counterparty risk if such party is unable or unwilling to satisfy its indemnification obligations.
Total acquired UPB for counterparties unable or unwilling to satisfy their indemnification obligations subject to repurchase risk was $6.3 billion at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, we were actively servicing $992 million of this previously acquired UPB. Since 2013, no new counterparties were identified that were unwilling or unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations.
The following is a rollforward of our reserves for servicing repurchase losses related to these counterparties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014:

The liability for repurchase losses decreased by $3.8 million, or 66%, from $5.8 million as of June 30, 2014 to $2.0 million as of June 30, 2015. The decrease in liability since June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the run-off of losses for active repurchase requests that were estimated in the prior periods. Net realized losses decreased by $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Along with the run-off of losses, the Company has seen a reduction in the number of repurchase requests being received as the Company received just three repurchase requests in the six months ended June 30, 2015, while settling 15 repurchase requests through make-whole payments, loan repurchases and rescinded requests for the same period. As of June 30, 2015 we had 26 active repurchase requests for loans being serviced. |

| | $ | 2,947 |
|
As seen in the analysis above, the Company has experienced a sharp decline in the reserve for active repurchase requests due to the reduction in incoming requests received from GSEs. Along with this sharp decline, the Company has not identified any new counterparties that were unwilling or unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations since 2013 and the total acquired UPB for counterparties unable or unwilling to satisfy their indemnification obligations has been reduced through borrower paydowns and/or third party sales, leading to a significant reduction in the Company’s estimated reserve. When taken together, these factors have greatly reduced the uncertainty within the underlying estimate and any changes to the Company's current estimation process will not have a material impact on its financial presentation. As such, the Company no longer considers its reserve for loans serviced to be a significant accounting estimate.
Loans in Foreclosure
Losses can arise from certain government agency agreements which limit the agency’s repayment guarantees on foreclosed loans, resulting in certain minimal foreclosure costs being borne by servicers. In particular, government insured loans serviced under GNMA guidelines require servicers to fund any foreclosure claims not otherwise covered by insurance claim funds of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Other than foreclosure-related costs associated with servicing government insured loans, we have not entered into any servicing agreements that require us, as servicer, to cover foreclosure-related costs.
Funding Sources
Deposits obtained from clients are our primary source of funds for use in lending, acquisitions and other business purposes. We generate deposit client relationships through our consumer direct and financial center distribution channels. The consumer direct channel includes: Internet, email, telephone and mobile device access to product and customer support offerings. Our differentiated products, integrated online financial portal and value-added account features deepen our interactions and relationships with our clients resulting in high retention rates. Other funding sources include short-term and long-term borrowings and shareholders’ equity. FHLB borrowings have become an important funding source as we have grown.
Deposits

Our major source of funds and liquidity is our deposit base, which provides funding for our investment securities and our loan and lease portfolios. We carefully manage our interest paid on deposits to control the level of interest expense we incur. The mix and type of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits in our deposit base changes due to our funding needs, marketing activities and market conditions.
Total deposits increased by $1.0 billion, or 6%, to $16.5 billion at June 30, 2015 from $15.5 billion at December 31, 2014. During the first six months of 2015, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $0.2 billion, or 17%, to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2015 primarily due to increases in both escrow and commercial noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $0.8 billion, or 6%, to $15.3 billion at June 30, 2015 from $14.5 billion at December 31, 2014. This increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to growth in time deposits.
FHLB Borrowings
In addition to deposits, we use borrowings from the FHLB as a source of funds to meet the daily liquidity needs of our clients and fund growth in earning assets. Our FHLB borrowings increased $1.2 billion, or 31%, to $5.2 billion at June 30, 2015 from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in FHLB borrowings is primarily attributable to temporary increases in our loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse finance balances, which are generally held for one to three months before being sold in the case of loans held for sale or repaid in the case of mortgage warehouse finance balances.
The table below summarizes the average outstanding balance of our FHLB advances, the weighted average interest rate, and the maximum amount of borrowings in each category outstanding at any month end during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements.
Funds invested in short-term marketable instruments, the continuous maturing of other interest-earning assets, cash flows from self-liquidating investments such as mortgage-backed securities, the possible sale of available for sale securities, and the ability to securitize certain types of loans provide sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through issuance of deposits and borrowed funds. In addition, equity capital raises provide us with sources of liquidity. To manage fluctuations in short-term funding needs, we utilize borrowings under lines of credit with other financial institutions, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal fund lines of credit with correspondent banks, and, for contingent purposes, the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. We also have access to term advances with the FHLB, as well as brokered certificates of deposits, for longer term liquidity needs. We believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.
We continued to maintain a strong liquidity position during the second quarter of 2015. Cash and cash equivalents were $558.2 million, available for sale investment securities were $656.6 million, and total deposits were $16.5 billion as of June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015, we had a $7.8 billion line of credit with the FHLB, of which $5.4 billion was utilized. As of June 30, 2015, we pledged collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank that provided $98.8 million of borrowing capacity at the discount window but did not have any borrowings outstanding. The maximum potential borrowing at the FRB is limited only by eligible collateral.
At June 30, 2015, our availability under Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC’s CDARS® One-Way BuySM deposits was $3.5 billion. with $251.9 million in outstanding balances. Although our availability under the program was $3.5 billion at June 30, 2015, funding from this source is also limited by the overall network volume of CDARS One-Way Buy deposits available in the marketplace. Our treasury function views $500 million as the practical maximum capacity for this type of deposit funding. As of June 30, 2015, our availability under federal funds commitments was $65.0 million with no outstanding borrowings.
We continue to evaluate the ultimate impact of the implementation of the new capital and liquidity standards under the Basel III Capital Rules and the Dodd-Frank Act on the Company's liquidity management functions.

Capital Ratios
As a result of recent regulatory requirements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, the Company and EB will be subject to increasingly stringent regulatory capital requirements.
The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and EB on January 1, 2015 and introduced a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (CET1) which requires that most deductions and/or adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and expands the scope of the deductions and adjustments from capital as compared to existing regulations. These deductions include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 began on January 1, 2015 and will be phased-in over a three-year period (beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015 and an additional 20% per year thereafter until fully phased-in at January 1, 2018).
The implementation of the requirements of Basel III resulted in decreases to both Tier 1 Capital and adjusted total assets, but provided a one-time increase to our Tier 1 capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio. Under prior rules, the threshold deduction for mortgage servicing assets (MSA) represented the excess of the book value of the MSA (net of any related deferred tax liability) over 90% of the associated MSA's fair value. The implementation of Basel III required that this deduction be adjusted to the excess of the book value of the MSA over 10% of CET1 with a phase-in percentage applied as applicable. The result of this change was an increase to the MSA threshold deduction of $19.7 million for the Company and $6.5 million for EB, which resulted in declines in both Tier 1 capital and adjusted tangible assets. Basel III also eliminated a prior practice of allowing thrift institutions to base their average assets calculations on ending balance sheet balances in favor of using an average assets approach consistent with the approach utilized by most other financial institutions. This change resulted in a further reduction of average tangible assets of $1.1 billion for both the Company and EB when compared to the prior methodology as averaging in prior periods with lower asset balances served to reduce the resulting average tangible assets balance. Due to the greater reduction in average tangible assets when compared to the reduction in Tier 1 capital, the overall impact of these changes was an increase to our Tier 1 capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio. For our common equity Tier 1 ratio and our Tier 1 risk based capital ratio, the impact was restricted to just the change in Tier 1
capital mentioned above and maintained the use of period end risk weighted assets. As such, it had a negative impact on these two ratios at June 30, 2015.
At June 30, 2015, EB exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered to be “well-capitalized” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.7%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.7% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.2%. At June 30, 2015, the Company also exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered to be “well-capitalized” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 10.5%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.2%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.2% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.7%. Management believes, at June 30, 2015, that both the Company and EB would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were currently effective.
On June 30, 2015, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Subordinated Notes due 2025 (subordinated notes). For regulatory capital adequacy purposes, the subordinated notes qualify as tier 2 capital for the Company. Also on June 30, 2015, the Company made a capital contribution to EB in the amount of $150.0 million from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the subordinated notes.
The table below shows regulatory capital, adjusted total assets and risk-weighted assets for EB at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Restrictions on Paying Dividends
Federal banking regulations impose limitations upon certain capital distributions by savings banks, such as certain cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. The OCC regulates all capital distributions by EB directly or indirectly to us, including dividend payments. EB may not pay dividends to us if, after paying those dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage and tangible capital ratio requirements, or in the event the OCC notifies EB that it is subject to heightened supervision. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, an insured depository institution such as EB is prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution would become “undercapitalized.” Payment of dividends by EB also may be restricted at any time at the discretion of the appropriate regulator if it deems the payment to constitute an “unsafe and unsound” banking practice.
Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and results from our business of investing in interest-earning assets with funds obtained from interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Interest rate risk is defined as the risk of loss of future earnings or market value due to changes in interest rates. We are subject to this risk because:
•assets and liabilities may mature or re-price at different times or by different amounts;
•short-term and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts;
•similar term rate indices may exhibit different re-pricing characteristics; and
•the life of assets and liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.
Interest rates may also have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, credit losses, mortgage origination volume, the fair value of MSRs and other items affecting earnings. Our objective is to measure the impact of interest rate changes on our capital and earnings and manage the balance sheet in order to decrease interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk is monitored by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), which is composed of certain executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our Board of Directors. ALCO has employed policies that attempt to manage our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, in order to control interest rate risk and avoid incurring unacceptable levels of credit or concentration
risk. We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet according to these policies in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the ALCO policy permits the use of various derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk or hedge specified assets and liabilities.
Consistent with industry practice, we primarily measure interest rate risk by utilizing the concept of "Economic Value of Equity" (EVE), which is defined as the present value of assets less the present value of liabilities. EVE scenario analysis estimates the fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE does not consider management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous. Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current balance sheet only, changes to the volume and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this business hedge historically offsets most, if not all, of the heightened amortization of our MSR portfolio and other identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, changes in loan production volumes fall outside of the EVE framework. As a result, we further evaluate and consider the impact of other business factors in a separate net income sensitivity analysis.
If EVE rises in a different interest rate scenario, that would indicate incremental prospective earnings in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would result in no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The table below shows the estimated impact on EVE of increases in interest rates of 1% and 2% and decreases in interest rates of 0.25%, as of June 30, 2015.
|
| | | | | | |
Interest Rate Sensitivity | Table 40 | |
| June 30, 2015 |
(dollars in thousands) | Net Change in EVE | | % Change of EVE |
Up 200 basis points | $ | 27,872 |
| | 1.2 | % |
Up 100 basis points | 37,982 |
| | 1.6 | % |
Down 25 basis points | (17,201 | ) | | (0.7 | )% |
The projected change in EVE to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2015 was in compliance with established policy guidelines. Exposure amounts depend on numerous assumptions. Due to historically low interest rates, the table above may not accurately reflect the effect of decreasing interest rates upon our net interest income that would occur under a more traditional, higher interest rate environment because short-term interest rates are near zero percent and facts underlying certain of our modeling assumptions, such as the fact that deposit and loan rates cannot fall below zero percent, distort the model’s results.
Volcker Rule
The Dodd-Frank Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, which is commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule. Generally, the Volcker Rule prohibits a “banking entity” from engaging in “proprietary trading” or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with hedge funds, private equity funds and other “covered funds.” Through a series of extensions, the Federal Reserve Board has generally extended the deadline for conforming activities and investments under the rule to July 21, 2017. The Volcker Rule provides a significantly broader definition of proprietary trading, and captures many activities that would not traditionally have been referred to as proprietary trading, including risk-mitigating hedging and market-making activities. This requires the Company to undertake a careful review to ensure that it has identified all potential Volcker Rule proprietary trading within the organization. Like the prohibition on proprietary trading, the restrictions on “covered funds” – the term for any fund covered by the Volcker Rule – apply to many entities and investment activities that would not traditionally have been referred to as hedge funds or private equity funds, including the acquisition of an “ownership interest” in certain trust preferred collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and Re-REMICs that are considered to be “covered funds” under the rule. Based on our evaluation of the impact of these changes, investments with a carrying value of $65.2 million at June 30, 2015, have been identified that may be required to be divested. The Volcker Rule also requires the Company to develop and provide for the continued administration of a compliance program reasonably designed to ensure and monitor the Company’s compliance with the Volcker Rule. We continue to evaluate the Volcker Rule and the final rules adopted thereunder.
Use of Derivatives to Manage Risk
Interest Rate Risk
An integral component of our interest rate risk management strategy is our use of derivative instruments to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in interest rates. As part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, we enter into contracts or derivatives to hedge interest rate lock commitments, loans held for sale, trust preferred debt, and forecasted payments on debt. These derivatives include forward purchase and sales commitments (FSA), optional forward purchase and sales commitments (OFSA), interest rate swaps and interest rate swap futures.
We enter into these derivative contracts with major financial institutions or purchase them from active exchanges where applicable. Credit risk arises from the inability of these counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts. We minimize this risk through collateral arrangements, master netting arrangements, exposure limits and monitoring procedures.
Commodity Market Risk
Commodity risk represents exposures to deposit instruments linked to various commodity, metals and U.S. Treasury yield markets. We offer market-based deposit products consisting of MarketSafe® products, which provide investment capabilities for clients seeking portfolio diversification with respect to commodities and other indices, which are typically unavailable from our banking competitors. MarketSafe® deposits rate of return is based on the movement of a particular market index. In order to manage the risk that may occur from fluctuations in the related markets, we enter into offsetting options with exactly the same terms as the commodity linked MarketSafe® deposits, which provide an economic hedge.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk represents exposures to changes in the values of deposits and future cash flows denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We offer WorldCurrency® deposit products which provide investment capabilities to clients seeking portfolio
diversification with respect to foreign currencies. The products include WorldCurrency® single-currency certificates of deposit and money market accounts denominated in the world’s major currencies. In addition, we offer foreign currency linked MarketSafe® deposits which provide returns based upon foreign currency linked indices. Exposure to loss on these products will increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange rates fluctuate. In addition, we offer foreign exchange contracts to small and medium size businesses with international payment needs. Foreign exchange contract products, which include spot and simple forward contracts, represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. Exposure to loss on these contracts will increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. These types of products expose us to a degree of risk. To manage the risk that may occur from fluctuations in world currency markets, we enter into offsetting short-term forward foreign exchange contracts with terms that match the amount and the maturity date of our single-currency certificates of deposit, money market deposit instruments, or foreign exchange contracts. In addition, we enter into offsetting options with exactly the same terms as the foreign currency linked MarketSafe® deposits, which provide an economic hedge. For more information, including the notional amount and fair value, of these derivatives, see Note 12 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2015. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Some of these matters include employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
In addition to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2015, we are currently subject to the following legal proceedings:
Mortgage Electronic Registration Services Related Litigation
Mortgage Electronic Registration Services (MERS), EverHome Mortgage Company, EverBank and other lenders and servicers that have held mortgages through MERS are parties to the following material and class action lawsuits where the plaintiffs allege improper mortgage assignment and, in some instances, the failure to pay recording fees in violation of state recording statutes: (1) State of Ohio, ex. rel. David P. Joyce, Prosecuting Attorney General of Geauga County, Ohio v. MERSCORP, Inc., Mortgage Electronic Registration Services, Inc. et al., filed in October 2011 in the Court of Common Pleas for Geauga County, Ohio, and later removed to federal court and subsequently remanded to state court; and (2) Delaware County, PA, Recorder of Deeds v. MERSCORP, Inc., Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., et al., filed in November 2013 in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and later removed to federal court and subsequently remanded back to state court. In these material and class action lawsuits, the plaintiffs in each case generally seek judgment from the courts compelling the defendants to record all assignments, restitution, compensatory and punitive damages, and appropriate attorneys' fees and costs. We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intend to contest all such claims vigorously.
West collective action
The Company is a party to a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) entitled Anthony West and all others similarly situated under 29 USC 216(B) v. EverBank Financial Corp filed on May 19, 2015 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The plaintiff in this collective action suit alleges that plaintiff and the class were (1) improperly classified as exempt under the FLSA (2) entitled to and not paid overtime and (3) not paid federally mandated minimum wage. The suit seeks (1) unpaid back wages, (2) liquidated damages equal to the back pay and (3) costs of the suit incurred by plaintiff. We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest all such claims vigorously.
Lord collective action
On July 17, 2015, a companion collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) entitled Mandy Lord and all others similarly situated under 29 USC 216(B) v. EverBank Financial Corp was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division. The plaintiff in this collective action suit alleges that plaintiff and the class were (1) improperly classified as exempt under the FLSA (2) entitled to and not paid overtime and (3) not paid federally mandated minimum wage. The suit seeks (1) unpaid back wages, (2) liquidated damages equal to the back pay and (3) costs of the suit incurred by plaintiff. We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest all such claims vigorously.
