1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, PHH or the Company) is a leading outsource
provider of mortgage and fleet management services operating in the following business segments:
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of PHH and
its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling
interest and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. PHH Home
Loans, LLC and its subsidiaries are consolidated within the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, and Realogy Corporations ownership interest is presented as a noncontrolling interest.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, which is commonly referred to as GAAP, for
interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In managements opinion, the unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any
subsequent interim period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010.
On March 31, 2011, the Company sold 50.1% of the equity interest in its appraisal services
business, Speedy Title and Appraisal Review Services, (STARS) to CoreLogic, Inc. for a total
purchase price of $35 million. The total purchase price consisted of an initial $20 million cash
payment that was received on March 31, 2011, and three future $5 million installment payments to be
received on March 31, 2012, 2014 and 2016. Upon the occurrence of certain events prior to
September 30, 2017, the Company may have the right or obligation to purchase CoreLogics interests.
The Company deconsolidated STARS and retained a 49.9% equity interest, which is accounted for
under the equity method and is recorded within Other assets with an initial fair value of $34
million as of March 31, 2011. The net assets of STARS were not significant. A $68 million gain
on the sale of the 50.1% equity interest was recorded within Other income, which consisted of the
net present value of the purchase price paid by CoreLogic plus the initial fair value of the
remaining equity method investment in STARS. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company will still
participate in the appraisal services business through its interest in STARS, and will be entitled
to its proportionate share of STARS earnings based on its 49.9% ownership interest.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions
include, but are not limited to, those related to the valuation of mortgage servicing rights,
mortgage loans held for sale, other financial instruments and goodwill, the estimation of
liabilities for mortgage loan repurchases and indemnifications and reinsurance losses, and the
determination of certain income tax assets and liabilities and associated valuation allowances.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unless otherwise noted and except for share and per share data, dollar amounts presented within
these Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in millions.

Changes In Accounting Policies
Goodwill. In December 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on performing tests of goodwill
impairment, ASU No. 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting
Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This new accounting guidance requires that entities
perform a two-step test when evaluating goodwill impairment by first assessing whether the carrying
value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value (Step 1) and, if it does, perform additional
procedures to determine if goodwill has been impaired (Step 2). This guidance require entities
performing the goodwill impairment test to perform Step 2 of the test for reporting units with zero
or negative carrying amounts if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based
on qualitative considerations. The Company adopted the updates to goodwill impairment guidance
effective January 1, 2011. The adoption did not impact the Companys financial statements.
Business Combinations. In December 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business
combinations, ASU No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business
Combinations. This new accounting guidance requires a public entity that presents comparative
financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business
combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the
comparable prior annual reporting period only. This new accounting guidance also expands the
supplemental pro-forma disclosures for Business Combinations to include a description of the nature
and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business
combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The Company adopted the new
business combination guidance effective January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have an impact on
the Companys financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue
recognition, ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Arrangements. This new accounting guidance
addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables (i) contains more
than one unit of accounting and (ii) how the arrangement consideration should be measured and
allocated to the separate units of accounting. The Company adopted the updates revenue recognition
guidance effective January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have an impact on the Companys financial
statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Receivables. In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditors Determination of Whether a
Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This new guidance requires a creditor performing
an evaluation of whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, to separately
conclude that both (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession and (ii) the debtor is
experiencing financial difficulties. This standard clarifies the guidance on a creditors
evaluation of whether it has granted a concession as well as the guidance on a creditors
evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The update also requires
entities to disclose additional quantitative activity regarding troubled debt restructurings of
finance receivables that occurred during the period, as well as additional information regarding
troubled debt restructurings that occurred within the previous twelve months and for which there
was a payment default during the current period. The new accounting guidance is effective beginning
July 1, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011. The Company does not
anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Companys financial
statements.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income
attributable to PHH Corporation during the period by the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to PHH Corporation was
computed by dividing Net income attributable to PHH Corporation by the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the weighted-average computation of the
dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method
excludes: (i) approximately 0.3 million and 1.2 million, respectively, of outstanding stock-based
compensation awards as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive; (ii) purchased options and sold
warrants related to the assumed conversion of the 2012 Convertible notes as their inclusion would
be anti-dilutive; (iii) sold warrants related to the Companys 2014 Convertible notes as their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive; and (iv) the 2014 Convertible notes and related purchased options
as they are currently to be settled only in cash.
The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share
attributable to PHH Corporation for the periods indicated:

The following table provides the contractual debt maturities as of March 31, 2011:
Capacity under all borrowing agreements is dependent upon maintaining compliance with, or
obtaining waivers of, the terms, conditions and covenants of the respective agreements. Available
capacity under asset-backed funding arrangements may be further limited by asset eligibility
requirements. Available capacity under committed asset-backed debt arrangements and unsecured
credit facilities as of March 31, 2011 consisted of:
Capacity for Mortgage asset-backed debt shown above excludes $2.0 billion not drawn under
uncommitted facilities.
The fair value of debt was $5.5 billion and $8.2 billion as of March 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively.
Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt
Vehicle management asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate debt issued by a wholly
owned subsidiary, Chesapeake Funding LLC, to support the acquisition of vehicles by the Fleet
Management Services segments U.S. leasing operations and debt issued by the consolidated special
purpose trust, Fleet Leasing Receivables Trust (FLRT), the Canadian special purpose trust, used
to finance leases originated by the Canadian fleet operation.
18
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vehicle management asset-backed debt includes term notes, which provide a fixed funding amount at
the time of issuance, or Variable-funding notes under which the committed capacity may be drawn
upon as needed during a commitment period, which is typically 364 days in duration. The available
capacity under Variable-funding notes may be used to fund future amortization of other Vehicle
management asset-backed debt or to fund growth in Net investment in fleet leases during the term of
the commitment.
As with the Variable-funding notes, certain Term notes may contain provisions that allow the
outstanding debt to revolve for specified periods of time. During these revolving periods, the
monthly collection of lease payments allocable to each outstanding series is available to fund the
acquisition of vehicles and/or equipment to be leased to customers. Upon expiration of the
revolving period, the repayment of principal commences, and the monthly allocated lease payments
are applied to the notes until they are paid in full.
Term Notes
As of March 31, 2011, Term notes outstanding that are revolving in accordance with their terms are
Chesapeake Series 2009-3 and 2010-1 Note B. Expiration dates of Term notes in their revolving
period range from May 31, 2011 to October 20, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011, Term notes outstanding that are amortizing in accordance with their terms are
Chesapeake Series 2009-1, 2009-2 and 2009-4 and the FLRT Series 2010-1. Final repayment dates of
Term notes in their amortization period range from October 2012 to October 2014.
Variable-funding Notes
As of March 31, 2011, Variable-funding notes outstanding include the FLRT Series 2010-2 and
Chesapeake Series 2010-1 Note A and commitments are scheduled to expire August 30, 2011 and May 31,
2011, respectively, but are renewable subject to agreement by the parties.
Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt
Mortgage asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate warehouse facilities to support the
origination of mortgage loans, which provide creditors a collateralized interest in specific
mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the terms of the facility during the
warehouse period. The source of repayment of the facilities is typically from the sale or
securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage market. These facilities are
typically 364-day facilities, and as of March 31, 2011, the range of maturity dates for committed
facilities is May 25, 2011 to December 16, 2011.
Committed Facilities
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has outstanding committed mortgage warehouse facilities with the
Royal Bank of Scotland, plc, Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC, Ally Bank, Bank of America,
and Fannie Mae.
On March 3, 2011, the variable-rate committed facility of PHH Home Loans with Ally Bank was amended

days after either the Company or Ally Bank gives notice of termination.
Uncommitted Facilities
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has an outstanding uncommitted mortgage repurchase facility with
Fannie Mae. The variable-rate uncommitted facility has total capacity of up to $3.0 billion as of
March 31, 2011, less certain amounts outstanding under the $1.0 billion committed Fannie Mae
facility.

Servicing Advance Facility
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has a committed facility with Fannie Mae that provides for the
early reimbursement of certain servicing advances made on behalf of Fannie Mae.
Unsecured Debt
Term Notes
Term notes include $350 million of 9 1/4% Senior notes due in 2016 that have been registered under
a public registration statement and $424 million of Medium-term notes. The effective interest rate
of the term notes, which includes the accretion of the discount and issuance costs, was 9.9% as of
March 31, 2011.
Credit Facilities
Credit facilities primarily represents an Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving
Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2006, among PHH, a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The facility has $525 million of commitments which are
scheduled to terminate on February 29, 2012. Provided certain conditions are met, the Company may
extend the commitments for an additional year at its request.
As of March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility
and the interest rate of commitments of the facility ranged from 3.9% to 5.5%.
Convertible Notes

a maturity date of April 15, 2012 and a private offering of $250 million of 4.0% Convertible senior
notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2014.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the convertible notes is net of
an unamortized discount of $62 million and $70 million, respectively. The effective interest rate
of the convertible notes, which includes the accretion of the discount and issuance costs, was
12.7% as of March 31, 2011. There have been no conversions of the convertible notes since
issuance.
Debt Covenants
Certain debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain
affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, material adverse change,
liquidity maintenance, restrictions on indebtedness of the Company and its material subsidiaries,
mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on certain types of
payments.
There were no significant amendments to the terms of our debt covenants during the three months
ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial
covenants related to its debt arrangements.
Under certain of the Companys financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and
instruments, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify the Company if they believe it has
breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or
more notices of default were to be given, the Company believes it would have various periods in
which to cure certain of such events of default. If it does not cure the events of default or
obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods, the maturity of some of its debt could
be accelerated and its ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition,
an event of default or acceleration under certain agreements and instruments would trigger
cross-default provisions under certain of its other agreements and instruments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
9. Income Taxes
Interim income tax expense or benefit is recorded by applying a projected full-year effective
income tax rate to the quarterly Income before income taxes for results that are deemed to be
reliably estimable. Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of the Mortgage Production
and Mortgage Servicing segments are considered not to be reliably estimable and therefore discrete
year-to-date income tax provisions are recorded on those results.
Income tax expense was significantly impacted by the following items that increased (decreased) the
effective tax rate:
State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefits. The impact to the effective tax rate
from State and local income taxes primarily represents the volatility in the pre-tax income or
loss, as well as the mix of income and loss from the operations by entity and state income tax
jurisdiction. The effective state tax rate has stayed consistent for the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010.
Liabilities for income tax contingencies. The impact to the effective tax rate from changes in the
liabilities for income tax contingencies primarily represents decreases in liabilities associated
with the resolution and settlement with various taxing authorities, partially offset by increases
in liabilities associated with new uncertain tax positions taken during the quarter. During the
three months ended March 31, 2011, the IRS concluded its examination and review of the Companys
taxable years 2006 through 2009.
Changes in valuation allowance. The impact to the effective tax rate from Changes in valuation
allowance primarily represents loss carryforwards generated during the period for which the Company
believes it is more likely than not that the amounts will not be realized. For the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the increases were primarily driven by tax losses generated by our
mortgage business in each period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
10. Credit Risk
The Company is subject to the following forms of credit risk:
Consumer Credit Risk
The Company is not subject to the majority of the risks inherent in maintaining a mortgage loan
portfolio because loans are not held for investment purposes and are generally sold to investors
within 60 days of origination. The majority of mortgage loans sales are on a non-recourse basis;
however, the Company has exposure in certain circumstances in its capacity as a loan originator and
servicer to loan repurchases and indemnifications through representation and warranty provisions.
Additionally, the Company has exposure through its reinsurance agreements that are inactive and in
runoff.
Loan performance is an indicator of the inherent risk associated with our origination and servicing
activities. In limited circumstances, the Company has exposure to possible losses on loans within
the servicing portfolio due to loan repurchases and indemnifications, as further discussed below.
The following tables summarize certain information regarding the total loan servicing portfolio,
which includes loans associated with the capitalized Mortgage servicing rights as well as loans
subserviced for others:
22
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Foreclosure-Related Reserves
Representations and warranties are provided to purchasers and insurers on a significant portion of
loans sold and are assumed on purchased mortgage servicing rights. In the event of a breach of
these representations and warranties, the Company may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or
indemnify the purchaser, and any loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by the Company. If there is
no breach of a representation and warranty provision, there is no obligation to repurchase the loan
or indemnify the investor against loss. In limited circumstances, the full risk of loss on loans
sold is retained to the extent the liquidation of the underlying collateral is insufficient. In
some instances where the Company has purchased loans from third parties, it may have the ability to
recover the loss from the third party.
Foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for the liabilities for probable losses related to
repurchase and indemnification obligations and on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and real
estate owned. A summary of the activity in foreclosure-related reserves is as follows:
Foreclosure-related reserves consist of the following:
Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications
The maximum exposure to representation and warranty provisions exceeds the amount of loans in
the capitalized portfolio of $141.1 billion; however, the range of total possible losses cannot
be estimated because the Company does not service all of the loans for which it has provided
representations or warranties. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $205 million of loans have
been identified in which the Company has full risk of loss or has identified a breach of
representation and warranty provisions; 15% of which were at least 90 days delinquent
(calculated based upon the unpaid principal balance of the loans).
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, liabilities for probable losses related to
repurchase and indemnification obligations of $78 million and $74 million, respectively, are
included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Mortgage Loans in Foreclosure and Real Estate Owned
Mortgage loans in foreclosure represent the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans for which
foreclosure proceedings have been initiated, plus recoverable advances made on those loans. These
amounts are recorded net of an allowance for probable losses on such mortgage loans and related
advances.
Real estate owned, which are acquired from mortgagors in default, are recorded at the lower of
the adjusted carrying amount at the time the property is acquired or fair value. Fair value is
determined based upon the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral less the
estimated costs to sell.
23
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The carrying values of the mortgage loans in foreclosure and real estate owned are recorded
within Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
Mortgage Reinsurance
The Company has exposure to consumer credit risk through losses from two contracts with primary
mortgage insurance companies, that are inactive and in runoff. The Companys exposure to losses
through these reinsurance contracts is based on mortgage loans pooled by year of origination.
As of March 31, 2011, the contractual reinsurance period for each pool was 10 years and the
weighted-average reinsurance period was 4.7 years. Loss rates on these pools are determined based
on the unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans. The Company indemnifies the primary
mortgage insurers for losses that fall between a stated minimum and maximum loss rate on each
annual pool. In return for absorbing this loss exposure, the Company is contractually entitled to a
portion of the insurance premium from the primary mortgage insurers.
The Company is required to hold securities in trust related to this potential obligation, which
were $255 million, included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011. The amount of securities held in trust is
contractually specified in the reinsurance agreements and is based on the original risk assumed
under the contracts and the incurred losses to date.
The unpaid reinsurance losses outstanding as of March 31, 2011 were $7 million. As of March 31,
2011, $110 million was included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
for incurred and incurred but not reported losses associated with mortgage reinsurance activities,
which was determined on an undiscounted basis.
A summary of the activity in reinsurance-related reserves is as follows:
Commercial Credit Risk
Vehicle leases are primarily classified as operating leases; however, certain leases are classified
as direct financing leases and recorded within Net investment in fleet leases in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, direct financing leases greater than 90 days past due
total $21 million and $19 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
direct financing leases greater than 90 days that are still accruing interest are $19 million and
$16 million, respectively and the allowance for credit losses was $3 million as of both periods.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
The Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings from time to time related to contract
disputes and other commercial, employment and tax matters.
PHH Mortgage Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the defendant in a lawsuit
initiated in 2009 in the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia, by a borrower
with a loan that has been serviced by the Company. The borrower alleged breach of contract,
negligent servicing and violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. On March 21,
2011, the jury issued a verdict in favor of the borrower, awarding compensatory damages of $1
million and punitive damages of $20 million, resulting in an exposure of $21 million.
The Company intends to seek further judicial review of the case including appeal as necessary. The
recorded liability for probable losses related to this matter as of March 31, 2011 was not
significant.
12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The after-tax components of Accumulated other comprehensive income were as follows:

13. Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there has been no change in
the valuation methodologies and classification pursuant to the valuation hierarchy during the three
months ended March 31, 2011. The incorporation of counterparty credit risk did not have a
significant impact on the valuation of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as of March
31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Significant inputs to the measurement of fair value on a recurring
basis and further information on the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis are as follows:
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. For Level Three mortgage loans held for sale, fair value is
estimated utilizing either a discounted cash flow model or underlying collateral values. The
assumptions used to measure fair value using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology are as
follows:
The following table reflects the difference between the carrying amount of Mortgage loans held for
sale measured at fair value, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount that the Company is
contractually entitled to receive at maturity:

Derivative Instruments. The average pullthrough percentage used in measuring the fair value of
interest rate lock commitments was 77% and 78% as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of
Mortgage servicing rights were as follows (in annual rates):
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of MSRs from adverse changes
in the significant assumptions:
These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair
value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the
relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the
effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other
assumption; in reality, changes in one assumption may result in changes in another, which may
magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Further, this analysis does not assume any impact
resulting from managements intervention to mitigate these variations.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations and our
Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is
presented in sections as follows:
Overview
We are a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet management services. We conduct our
business through three operating segments: a Mortgage Production segment, a Mortgage Servicing
segment and a Fleet Management Services segment. Our Mortgage Production segment originates,
purchases and sells mortgage loans through PHH Mortgage Corporation. Our Mortgage Servicing segment
services mortgage loans originated by PHH Mortgage and PHH Home Loans. Our Mortgage Servicing
segment also purchases mortgage servicing rights and acts as a subservicer for certain clients that
own the underlying servicing rights. Our Fleet Management Services segment provides commercial
fleet management services to corporate clients and government agencies throughout the United States
and Canada.
Although our Fleet Management Services segment has historically generated a larger portion of our
Net revenues, our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments have historically contributed
a significantly larger portion of our Net income (loss). Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage
Servicing segments have experienced, and may continue to experience, high degrees of earnings
volatility due to significant exposure to interest rates and the real estate markets, which impacts
our loan origination volumes, valuation of our mortgage servicing rights, and foreclosure-related
charges.
Executive Summary
In our mortgage business, an environment of higher interest rates and seasonally lower home
purchase volumes resulted in lower volumes of interest rate lock commitments and gain on sale
margins. Although the Company closed $13.8 billion of loans in the first quarter of 2011, the
closings did not have a significant contribution to the results of operations as the interest rate
lock commitments were recognized in prior periods at fair value.
On March 31, 2011, we sold 50.1% of the equity interests in our appraisal services business (Speedy
Title and Appraisal Review Services, or STARS) to CoreLogic, Inc. and retained the remaining
49.9% of the interests. STARS provides appraisal services, credit research, flood certification,
and tax services. We believe this new partnership will enable us to leverage the technology and
product expertise of CoreLogic to enhance the customer experience and, ultimately, drive earnings
growth. We received a $20 million cash payment in March 2011, with
three $5 million installment payments to be received on March 31, 2012, 2014 and 2016. The sale
resulted in a
33
Table of Contents
total gain of $68 million during the first quarter of 2011 which was inclusive of a
$34 million non-cash gain from the initial valuation of our equity method investment upon
deconsolidation of STARS.
Our Fleet Management Services segment continued the positive momentum from 2010 with strong
earnings from fee-based services.
The following table presents summarized results for PHH Corporation for the first quarters of 2011
and 2010:

Industry Trends
Regulatory Trends
Financial Regulatory Reform
Six federal agencies, including the SEC, have proposed a rule providing sponsors of
securitizations with various options for meeting the risk-retention requirements of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Among other things, the options
include retaining risk of the securitization transactions equal to 5 percent of each class of
asset-backed security, 5 percent of par value of all asset-backed security interests issued, 5
percent of a representative pool of assets, or a combination of these options.
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the proposal includes descriptions of loans that would not be
subject to these requirements, including asset-backed securities that are collateralized
exclusively by residential mortgages that qualify as qualified residential mortgages (or
QRMs). Proposed criteria to qualify for an exemption from the risk retention requirements
include, but are not limited to: (i) loan-to-value ratios for purchases and refinances of 80%
and 75%, respectively; (ii) mortgage payment to gross income and debt payment to gross income ratios of 28% and 36%,
respectively; (iii) borrower credit requirements including no current delinquencies, 60-day
plus delinquencies in the past 2 years, or bankruptcies / foreclosures in the past 3 years; and
(iv) loan-type requirements including no interest only, negative amortization, balloon payments,
or prepayment penalties.
The proposed rule would also recognize that the 100 percent guarantee of principal and interest
provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac meets their risk-retention requirements as sponsors of
mortgage-backed securities for as long as they are in conservatorship or receivership with
capital support from the U.S. government.
Substantially all of the loans that we originated during 2010 were sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, or Ginnie Mae and would therefore be exempt from the risk-retention requirements under the
current proposal.
For our lease securitizations, we believe we currently retain a subordinate position relative to
the issued asset-backed securities in excess of the proposed 5% requirement, and we are continuing
to monitor the potential impact to the Company under the proposed rules.

Focus on Foreclosure Practices
During the first quarter of 2011, various federal regulators completed a review of 14 entities
involved in the mortgage servicing process and noted weaknesses in foreclosure governance
processes, foreclosure document preparation processes, and oversight and monitoring of
third-party vendors, including foreclosure attorneys. These regulators took formal actions
against each of the 14 entities subject to this review to address those weaknesses and risks.
These actions require each entity, among other things, to conduct a more complete review of
certain aspects of foreclosure actions that occurred between January 1, 2009, and December 31,
2010.
While we were not included in these reviews, we have received inquiries and requests for
information from regulators and attorneys general of certain states as well as from the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives, requesting
information as to our foreclosure processes and procedures, among other things. We have not
received any formal notice of investigation or been assessed any material penalties resulting
from our foreclosure practices to date.
Mortgage Production Trends
An increase in interest rates, restrictive underwriting standards, and a weak housing market
have resulted in lower loan origination volumes and lower loan margins in the first quarter of
2011 as compared to 2010. As of April 2011, Fannie Maes Economics and Mortgage Market Analysis
forecasted a decrease in industry loan originations of approximately 32% in 2011 from 2010
levels, which was comprised of a 61% decrease in forecasted refinance activity offset by a 32%
increase in forecasted purchase originations. Gain on sale margins have declined significantly
from 2010 levels reflecting a more normalized level of industry volumes. For the remainder of
2011, we do not expect margins to change significantly from the first quarter of 2011.
In response to the trends impacting the decline in overall industry originations and margins, we
are actively working to grow our market share and improve our profitability. Historically,
lower industry originations and margins have led to an increase in mortgage outsourcing
opportunities and we intend to take advantage of this environment by leveraging our existing
mortgage origination services platform to enter into new outsourcing relationships.
Mortgage Servicing Trends
The declining housing market and general economic conditions, including higher unemployment
rates, have continued to negatively impact our Mortgage Servicing segment through elevated
levels of delinquencies and high loss severity rates on defaulted loans. The increased
regulatory focus on servicing activities, including foreclosure practices, has increased and
will likely continue to increase servicing costs across the industry.
Although portfolio delinquencies have improved during the first quarter of 2011, we continue to
experience an elevated level of repurchase demands which we expect to continue throughout the
remainder of 2011.
In addition to the increased focus on loan repurchases and indemnifications, we have experienced
elevated provisions for reinsurance losses as a result of the continued weakness in the housing
market and delinquency and foreclosure experience. We paid $16 million in reinsurance claims
during the first quarter of 2011, and expect our paid claims for certain book years to increase
during 2011 as foreclosures are completed and insurance claims are processed and finalized. We
hold securities in trust related to our potential obligation to pay such claims, which were $255
million and were included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011. We expect that the
amount of securities currently held in trust will be significantly higher than future claims for
reinsurance losses.
36
Table of Contents
In January 2011, the Federal Housing Finance Agency directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to
develop a joint initiative to consider alternatives for future mortgage servicing structures and
compensation. Under this proposal, the GSEs are considering potential structures in which the
minimum service fee would be reduced or eliminated altogether. This would provide mortgage
bankers with the ability to either sell all or a portion of the retained servicing fee for cash
up front, or retain an excess servicing fee. While the proposal provides additional flexibility
in managing liquidity and capital requirements, it is unclear how the various options might
impact mortgage-backed security pricing and the related pricing of excess servicing fees. The
GSEs are also considering different pricing options for non-performing loans to better align
servicer incentives with MBS investors and provide the loan guarantor the ability to transfer
non-performing servicing. The Federal Housing Finance Agency has indicated that any change in
the servicing compensation structure would be prospective and would not be expected to occur
prior to mid-2012. These changes, if implemented, could have a significant impact on the entire
mortgage industry and on the results of operations and cash flows of our mortgage business.
See Risk Management for additional information regarding mortgage reinsurance and loan
repurchases.
Fleet Management Services Trends
The fleet management industry continues to be impacted by the relative strength of the U.S.
economy. As the U.S. economy improves, we expect to see continued improvement in the industry.
We believe that improvement in the economic conditions will be reflected in continued growth in
our service unit counts. We expect the slow decline of the number of funded vehicles to continue
in the industry and to see a corresponding trend in our number of leased units. While the
natural disasters in Japan have impacted the retail automotive industry including the
availability of certain materials for vehicle manufacturers and capacity constraints, we expect
to see minimal impact on the fleet management industry.

Results of Operations
Consolidated Results
The following table presents our consolidated results of operations for the first quarters of
2011 and 2010:
First Quarter 2011 Compared With First Quarter 2010
Our Net income attributable to PHH Corporation increased by $41 million during the first quarter
of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 which was attributable to increases in segment
profit in each of our reportable segments. The first quarter of 2011 includes a $68 million gain
on the sale of 50.1% of the interests in our appraisal services business discussed below. A more
detailed discussion of the results for our reportable segments is presented within Segment
Results below.
We record our interim tax provisions or benefits by applying a projected full-year effective
income tax rate to our quarterly pre-tax income or loss for results that we deem to be reliably
estimable. Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of our Mortgage Production and
Mortgage Servicing segments are considered not to be reliably estimable and therefore we record
discrete year-to-date income tax provisions on those results.
During the first quarter of 2011, Income tax expense was $33 million and was impacted by an $8
million decrease in the liabilities for income tax contingencies, primarily due to the resolution
and settlement with various taxing authorities, including the conclusion of the IRS examination
and review of the Companys taxable years 2006 through 2009, offset by a $4 million net increase
in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets primarily due to loss carryforwards generated
during the quarter for which we believe it is more likely than not that the amounts will not be
realized.
During the first quarter of 2010, Income tax expense was $11 million and was impacted by a $2
million net increase in the valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, primarily due to loss
carryforwards generated during the quarter for which we believe it is more likely than not that
the amounts will not be realized.

Appraisal Services Business Joint Venture
On March 31, 2011, the Company sold 50.1% of the equity interests in its appraisal services
business, Speedy Title and Appraisal Review Services, (STARS) to CoreLogic, Inc. for a total
purchase price of $35 million, consisting of an initial $20 million cash
payment received on March 31, 2011, and three future $5 million installment payments to be
received on March 31, 2012, 2014 and 2016. Upon the occurrence of certain events prior to
September 30, 2017, the Company may have the right or obligation to purchase CoreLogics
interests. The Company retained a 49.9% equity interest in STARS, which is accounted for under the
equity method and was recorded within Other assets with an initial fair value of $34 million.
During the first quarter of 2011, a $68 million gain on the sale of the 50.1% equity interest was
recorded within Other income, which consisted of the net present value of the purchase price from
CoreLogic plus the $34 million from the initial valuation of our equity method investment in
STARS.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, earnings from the equity method investment in STARS will
be recorded net as a component of Other income and will represent 49.9% of the pre-tax income of
the STARS joint venture. The following table presents the summary results of operations for STARS,
in total, for the periods indicated:

Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Segment
profit or loss is presented as the income or loss before income tax expense or benefit and after
net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. The Mortgage Production segment profit
or loss excludes Realogys noncontrolling interest in the profits and losses of PHH Home Loans. The
Other segment includes costs related to general and administrative functions that are allocated

eliminations.
The following tables present the results of our Other segment:
As a result of our transformation initiatives, as of January 1, 2011 certain general and
administrative functions that had previously been part of our Mortgage and Fleet reportable
segments were consolidated into our Other segment, including information technology, human
resources, finance, and marketing. The majority of general and administrative expenses are
allocated back to the segments through a corporate overhead allocation.
Certain costs previously reported by our Mortgage and Fleet segments as Salaries and related
expenses during 2010 are now included in the corporate overhead allocation and reported as a
component of Other operating expenses. The table below provides a summary of our corporate
overhead allocation by segment:
Other operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 in our Mortgage Production, Mortgage
Servicing, and Fleet Management Services segments increased by $12 million, $2 million and $8
million, respectively, as compared to 2010 resulting from our internal reorganization. These
increases were primarily offset by corresponding decreases in Salaries and related expenses and
other operating expenses, exclusive of corporate allocations. See individual segment results
discussions below for further detail.

Table of Contents
First Quarter 2011 Compared With First Quarter 2010
Mortgage Production Statistics
Total closings increased $6.0 billion (77%) during the first quarter of 2011 compared to first
quarter of 2010 which was primarily attributable to a $5.3 billion increase in refinance
closings. The significant increase in refinance closings was a result of the decline in mortgage
interest rates during the latter half of 2010 which resulted in increased refinance activity and
interest rate lock commitments expected to close (IRLCs) during that period which ultimately
closed during the first quarter of 2011.
We experienced an increase in both retail closings and wholesale/correspondent closings during
the first quarter of 2011. The mix of total closings shifted to a higher percentage of
wholesale/correspondent during the first quarter of 2011 due to our continued efforts to expand
production in this channel. The increase in wholesale/correspondent originations has allowed us
to grow our overall originations and market share; however, retail loans are generally more
profitable than wholesale/correspondent and have higher loan margins and higher expenses.
As of April 2011, Fannie Maes Economics and Mortgage Market Analysis shows a decline in
mortgage industry volumes of approximately 14% during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the
first quarter of 2010. The higher interest rate environment and lower industry volumes resulted
in a 21% decrease in IRLCs.
Mortgage Fees
Loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings are key drivers of Mortgage fees. Mortgage fees
consist of fee income earned on all loan originations, including loans closed to be sold and
fee-based closings. Fee income consists of amounts earned related to application and
underwriting fees, fees on cancelled loans and appraisal and other income generated by our
appraisal services business. Fee income also consists of amounts earned from financial
institutions related to brokered loan fees and origination assistance fees resulting from our
private-label mortgage outsourcing activities. Fees associated with the origination and
acquisition of mortgage loans are recognized as earned.
Mortgage fees increased by $34 million (65%) primarily due to a 60% increase in retail closings
coupled with an increase in fee-based originations during the first quarter of 2011 compared to
the first quarter of 2010.
Gain on Mortgage Loans, Net
Interest rate lock commitments expected to close are the primary driver of Gain on mortgage
loans, net. Gain on mortgage loans, net includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on
our mortgage loans, as well as the changes in fair value of our interest rate locks and
loan-related derivatives. The fair value of our interest rate locks is based upon the estimated
fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, adjusted for: (i) estimated costs to complete and
originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in a closed
mortgage loan. The valuation of our interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans
approximates a whole-loan price, which includes the value of the related mortgage servicing
rights. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized and capitalized at the date the loans are sold
and subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded in Change in fair value of mortgage
servicing rights in the Mortgage Servicing segment.
42
Table of Contents
The components of Gain on mortgage loans, net were as follows:
Gain on loans decreased $55 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first
quarter of 2010 which was primarily attributable to a 21% decrease in interest rate lock
commitments expected to close, significantly lower total margins and a higher mix of
wholesale/correspondent volume. Margins generally widen when mortgage interest rates decline and
tighten when mortgage interest rates increase, as loan originators balance origination volume
with operational capacity. The higher mix of wholesale/correspondent volume caused a reduction
in Gain on loans as the cost to acquire the loan from the wholesale/correspondent originator
reduces the gain from selling the loan into the secondary market.
The change in fair value of Scratch and Dent and certain non-conforming mortgage loans is
primarily attributable to additions to the population of Scratch and Dent loans resulting from
repurchases and salability issues. Scratch and Dent loans represent loans with origination flaws
or performance issues.
Economic
hedge results represent the change in value of our loans, interest
rate lock commitments and related derivatives, including the impact
of changes in pullthrough.
The $13 million increase in economic hedge results during the first quarter of 2011 compared to
the first quarter of 2010 was primarily driven by lower volatility in mortgage interest rates and
an increase in the actual pullthrough rate of interest rate lock commitments.
Mortgage Net Finance Expense
Mortgage net finance expense allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consists of interest
income on mortgage loans, interest expense allocated on debt used to fund mortgage loans and an
allocation of interest expense for working capital and is primarily driven by the average
balance of loans held for sale, the average volume of outstanding borrowings, the note rate on
loans held for sale and the cost of funds rate of our outstanding borrowings. A significant
portion of our loan originations are funded with variable-rate short-term debt.
Mortgage net finance expense allocable to the Mortgage Production segment decreased by $3
million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to a $15
million increase in Mortgage interest income partially offset by a $12 million increase in
Mortgage interest expense. The increase in Mortgage interest income was primarily due to a
higher average volume of loans held for sale due to the increase in loans closed to be sold
partially offset by a lower average note rate on loans held for sale resulting from the decline
in mortgage interest rates for conforming first mortgage loans during 2010. The increase in
Mortgage interest expense was primarily attributable to a higher average volume of loans closed
to be sold.
Other Income
Other income during the first quarter of 2011 was $71 million and was primarily comprised of a
$68 million gain on the 50.1% sale of the equity interests in our appraisal services business
discussed above.
43
Table of Contents
Salaries and Related Expenses
Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consist of
commissions paid to employees involved in the loan origination process, as well as compensation,
payroll taxes and benefits paid to employees in our mortgage production operations and
allocations for overhead. Salaries and related expenses increased by $15 million for the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, we
combined general administrative functions, as discussed under Segment Results above, which
favorably impacted Salaries and related expenses by $6 million compared to the prior period. The
$21 million increase in Salaries and related expenses during the first quarter of 2011 compared
to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily attributable to a $13 million increase in salaries
and related benefits and a $7 million increase in costs associated with temporary and contract
personnel. The increase in salaries and related benefits was due to an increase in permanent
employees and was coupled with an increase in costs associated with temporary and contract
personnel in response to higher loan closing volumes during the first quarter of 2011 compared
to the first quarter of 2010.
As a result of the forecasted decline in industry volume, we reduced
over 400 full-time equivalents in the first quarter of 2011, and
expect further reductions in the second quarter of 2011.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consist of
production-related direct expenses, appraisal expense and allocations for overhead. Other
operating expenses increased by $18 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the
same period of 2010 due a $12 million increase in the corporate overhead allocation and a $6
million increase in production-related costs. During the first quarter of 2011, we combined
general administrative functions, as discussed under Segment Results above, which had a $12
million unfavorable impact on Other operating expenses. The resulting $6 million increase in
Other operating expenses during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010
was primarily attributable an increase in production-related costs resulting from an increase in
total closings.

Mortgage Servicing Segment
The following tables present a summary of our financial results and key related drivers for the
Mortgage Servicing segment, and are followed by a discussion of each of the key components of Net
revenues and Total expenses:
First Quarter 2011 Compared With First Quarter 2010
Mortgage Net Finance Expense
Mortgage net finance expense allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment consists of interest
income credits from escrow balances, income from investment balances (including investments held
by Atrium) and interest expense allocated on debt used to fund our mortgage servicing rights,
which is driven by the average volume of outstanding borrowings and the cost of funds rate of
our outstanding borrowings.
Mortgage net finance expense increased by $2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared
to the first quarter of 2010 due to a $3 million increase in Mortgage interest expense partially
offset by a $1 million increase in Mortgage interest income. The increase in Mortgage interest
expense was due to a $3 million increase in the interest expense allocated to fund our MSRs
resulting from a higher average MSR balance in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first
quarter of 2010. Mortgage interest income increased by $1 million due to an increase in income
earned on customer escrow accounts which was attributable to higher average escrow balances. The
higher escrow balances during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010
related to an 11% increase in the average loan servicing portfolio.

Loan Servicing Income
Loan servicing income includes recurring servicing fees, other ancillary fees and net
reinsurance loss from Atrium. Recurring servicing fees are recognized upon receipt of the coupon
payment from the borrower and recorded net of guaranty fees. Net reinsurance loss represents
premiums earned on reinsurance contracts, net of ceding commission and adjustments to the
reserves for reinsurance losses. The primary drivers for Loan servicing income are the average
loan servicing portfolio and average servicing fee.
The components of Loan servicing income were as follows:
Loan servicing income increased $7 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the
first quarter of 2010 which was primarily comprised of an increase in net service fee revenue
partially offset by an increase in net reinsurance loss. The $9 million increase in net service
fee revenue was primarily due to an 11% increase in the average loan servicing portfolio for the
first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 partially offset by an increase in
guarantee fees as a result of a greater composition of loans sold to the GSEs included in our
capitalized loan servicing portfolio. The $3 million increase in net reinsurance loss was
primarily attributable to a $2 million increase in the provision for reinsurance reserves due to
a sustained elevation of delinquency and foreclosure experience associated with reinsured loans
coupled with a $1 million decrease in premiums earned related to outstanding reinsurance
agreements which have continued in runoff status.
Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value of our mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) is estimated based upon projections of
expected future cash flows from our MSRs considering prepayment estimates, our historical
prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves,
implied volatility and other economic factors. Generally, the value of our MSRs is expected to
increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates decline due to the effect
those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates. Other factors noted above as well
as the overall market demand for MSRs may also affect the MSRs valuation.
The components of Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights were as follows:
46
Table of Contents
The change in fair value of MSRs due to actual prepayments is driven by two factors: (i) the
number of loans that prepaid during the period and (ii) the current value of the mortgage
servicing right asset at the time of prepayment. The $10 million increase in actual prepayments
of the underlying mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter
of 2010 was primarily due to higher loan prepayments related to the low interest rate environment
experienced during the second half of 2010. Actual payoffs, including principal curtailments, in
our capitalized servicing portfolio were $6.0 billion during the first quarter of 2011 compared
to $4.8 billion during the first quarter of 2010.
Credit-related fair value adjustments reduced the value of our MSRs by $3 million during the
first quarter of 2011 compared to $18 million during the first quarter of 2010. The lower
credit-related fair value adjustments were primarily due to improvements in total delinquencies,
foreclosures and real estate owned during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter
of 2010. The $18 million adjustment during the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the
continued deteriorating economic conditions in the broader U.S. economy which resulted in an
increase in total delinquencies attributable to the capitalized servicing portfolio.
Market-related fair value adjustments increased the value of our MSRs by $28 million during
the first quarter of 2011 compared to $11 million during the first quarter of 2010. The $28
million increase during the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in
mortgage interest rates coupled with a steeper yield curve and lower interest rate volatility.
The $11 million increase during the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to increases in
mortgage interest rates during the quarter.
Refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for an
analysis of the impact of 25 bps, 50 bps and 100 bps changes in interest rates on the valuation
of our MSRs at March 31, 2011.
Other (Expense) Income
Other (expense) income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment primarily consists of the
change in the net fair value of a mortgage securitization trust where we hold a residual
interest. The $4 million unfavorable change in fair value during the first quarter of 2011
compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase in projected
credit losses of the underlying securitized mortgage loans.
Other Operating Expenses
The following table presents a summary of the components of Other operating expenses:
Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment include
servicing-related direct expenses, costs associated with mortgage loans in foreclosure and real
estate owned and allocations for overhead.
47
Table of Contents
Foreclosure-related charges are driven by the volume of repurchases and indemnifications as
well as expected loss severities which are impacted by various economic factors including
delinquency rates and home price values. The continuing high volume of repurchase requests and
loss severities contributed to the $15 million of foreclosure-related charges during the first
quarter of 2011, which we expect to continue throughout the remainder of 2011. The $23 million of
foreclosure-related charges during the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to repurchases,
indemnifications and make-whole payments on defaulted loans coupled with increasing loss
severities due to declines in home prices. The $3 million increase in other expenses was
primarily attributable to a $2 million increase in allocations for overhead related to combining
general administrative functions, as discussed under Segment Results above.
Fleet Management Services Segment
The following tables present a summary of our financial results and related drivers for the Fleet
Management Services segment, and are followed by a discussion of each of the key components of our
Net revenues and Total expenses:
First Quarter 2011 Compared With First Quarter 2010
Fleet Management Fees
Fleet management fees consist primarily of the revenues of our principal fee-based products:
fuel cards, maintenance services, accident management services and monthly management fees for
leased vehicles. Fleet management fees are driven by leased vehicles and service unit counts
as well as the usage of fee-based services.
48
Table of Contents
Fleet management fees increased by $4 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the
first quarter of 2010 primarily due to the higher usage of fee and asset based fleet management
services which was primarily attributable to the addition of driver safety training service fees
and an increase in service unit volume.
Fleet Lease Income
Fleet lease income consists of leasing revenue related to operating and direct financing leases
as well as the gross sales proceeds associated with our lease syndications. We originate
certain leases with the intention of syndicating to banks and other financial institutions,
which includes the sale of the underlying assets and assignment of any rights to the leases.
Upon the transfer and assignment we record the proceeds from the sale within Fleet lease income
and recognize the cost of goods sold within Other operating expenses for the undepreciated cost
of the asset sold.
Leasing revenue related to operating leases consists of an interest component for the funding
cost inherent in the lease as well as a depreciation component for the cost of the vehicles
under lease. Leasing revenue related to direct financing leases consists of an interest
component for the funding cost inherent in the lease.
Fleet lease income decreased by $2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the
first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a 6% decrease in the average number of leased vehicles.
Other Income
Other income primarily consists of gross sales proceeds from our owned vehicle dealerships and
the gain or loss from the sale of used vehicles. The cost of vehicles sold from our owned
dealerships is included in cost of goods sold within Other operating expenses.
Other income increased by $3 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first
quarter of 2010 primarily due to a $2 million increase in vehicle sales to retail customers at
our dealerships.
Salaries and Related Expenses
Salaries and related expenses decreased by $7 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared
to the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a $4 million favorable change associated with
combining general administrative functions, as discussed under Segment Results above during
the first quarter of 2011 coupled with a $2 million decrease in management incentive
compensation.
Depreciation on Operating Leases
Depreciation on operating leases is the depreciation expense associated with our vehicles under
operating leases included in Net investment in fleet leases. Depreciation on operating leases
decreased by $2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010
primarily due to a 6% decrease in the average number of vehicles under operating leases.
Fleet Interest Expense
Fleet interest expense decreased by $2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the
first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a favorable change in the expense related to the change
in fair value of interest rate cap agreements related to vehicle management asset-backed debt.
49
Table of Contents
Other Operating Expenses
The following table presents a summary of the components of Other operating expenses:
The $2 million increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to the increase in cost
of goods sold from our dealerships related to higher vehicle sales to retail customers. The $6
million increase in Other expenses relates to an $8 million increase in allocations for corporate
overhead associated with combining general administrative functions, as discussed under
Segment Results above during the first quarter of 2011 partially offset by a $2 million
decrease in costs related to executing our transformation plan that were incurred during the
first quarter of 2010.
Risk Management
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to various risks including, but not limited to,
interest rate risk, consumer credit risk, commercial credit risk, counterparty credit risk,
liquidity risk, and foreign exchange risk. The Finance and Risk Management Committee of the Board
of Directors provides oversight with respect to the assessment of our overall capital structure and
its impact on the generation of appropriate risk adjusted returns, as well as the existence,
operation and effectiveness of our risk management programs, policies and practices. Our Chief Risk
Officer, working with each of our businesses, oversees governance processes and monitoring of these
risks including the establishment of risk strategy and documentation of risk policies and controls.
Interest Rate Risk
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and
mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.
Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in
variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR and
commercial paper rates. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain
variable rate borrowings including our mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt, vehicle management
asset-backed debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that such interest
rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.
Consumer Credit Risk
Our exposures to consumer credit risk include:

Table of Contents
Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications
Foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for the liabilities for probable losses related to
repurchase and indemnification obligations and related to on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and
real estate owned. A summary of the activity in foreclosure-related reserves is as follows:
Foreclosure-related reserves consist of the following:
Loan Repurchase and Indemnification Liability
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, liabilities for probable losses related to our
repurchase and indemnification obligations of $78 million and $74 million, respectively, were
included in Other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We subject the population of repurchase and indemnification requests received to a review and
appeal process to establish the validity of the claim and the corresponding obligation. The
following table presents the unpaid principal balance of our unresolved requests by status:
51
Table of Contents
Mortgage Reinsurance
We have exposure to consumer credit risk through losses from two contracts with primary mortgage
insurance companies, that are inactive and in runoff. We are required to hold securities in trust
related to this potential obligation, which were $255 million as of March 31, 2011 and were
included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The reserve for incurred and incurred but not reported losses associated with our mortgage
reinsurance activities, is determined on an undiscounted basis, and is included in Other
liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of the activity in
reinsurance-related reserves is as follows:
The following table summarizes certain information regarding mortgage loans that are subject to
reinsurance by year of origination as of March 31, 2011:
Commercial Credit Risk
We are exposed to commercial credit risk for our clients under the lease and service agreements of
our Fleet Management Services segment. We manage such risk through an evaluation of the financial
position and creditworthiness of the client, which is performed on at least an annual basis. The
lease agreements generally allow the Company to refuse any additional orders; however, the
obligation remains for all leased vehicle units under contract at that time. The fleet management
service agreements can generally be terminated upon 30 days written notice.
52
Table of Contents
Counterparty & Concentration Risk
We are exposed to risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to various agreements,
derivative contracts, and sales transactions. In general, we manage such risk by evaluating the
financial position and creditworthiness of counterparties, monitoring the amount for which we are
at risk, requiring collateral, typically cash, in instances in which financing is provided and/or
dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties.
As of March 31, 2011, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual
counterparty or group of counterparties with respect to our derivative transactions. Concentrations
of credit risk associated with receivables are considered minimal due to our diverse client base.
With the exception of the financing provided to customers of our mortgage business, we do not
normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and capital structure to fund growth in assets, to fund business
operations, and to meet contractual obligations, including maturities of our indebtedness. In
developing our liquidity plan, we consider how our needs may be impacted by various factors
including maximum liquidity needs during the period, fluctuations in assets and liability levels
due to changes in business operations, levels of interest rates, and working capital needs. We also
assess market conditions and capacity for debt issuance in various markets we access to fund our
business needs. Our primary operating funding needs arise from the origination and financing of
mortgage loans, the purchase and funding of vehicles under management and the retention of mortgage
servicing rights. Sources of liquidity include: equity capital (including retained earnings); the
unsecured debt markets; committed and uncommitted credit facilities, secured borrowings, including
the asset-backed debt markets; cash flows from operations (including service fee and lease
revenues); cash flows from assets under management; and proceeds from the sale or securitization of
mortgage loans and lease assets. Given our expectation for business volumes, we believe that our
sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
At March 31, 2011, we had $325 million of Cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $130 million
from $195 million at December 31, 2010. The following table summarizes the changes in Cash and cash
equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:
Operating
Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities reflect the net cash generated or used in our business
operations and can be significantly impacted by the timing of mortgage loan originations and
sales. In addition to depreciation and amortization, the operating results of our reportable
segments are impacted by the following significant non-cash activities:
53
Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $3.2
billion. This is reflective of $3.2 billion of net cash provided by the significant increase in
mortgage loan sales in our Mortgage Production segment and in the operating activities of our
Fleet Management Services. Other adjustments and changes in other assets and liabilities, net
primarily includes the $68 million gain on the sale an interest in our appraisal services
business and a net cash outflow of $204 million for cash collateral on derivative agreements.
The net cash provided in the operating activities of our Mortgage production segment resulted in
a $3.0 billion decrease in the Mortgage loans held for sale balance in our Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets between March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, which is the result of
timing differences between origination and sale as of the end of each period. The decrease in
Mortgage loans held for sale also resulted in a decrease in Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt as
further described in Financing Activities below.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash provided by our operating activities was $307
million. This was reflective of cash generated by the operating activities of our Fleet
Management Services and Mortgage Servicing segments that was partially offset by net cash used
in the origination and sales of mortgage loans held for sale.
Investing Activities
Our cash flows from investing activities primarily include cash outflows for purchases of vehicle
inventory, net of cash inflows for sales of vehicles within the Fleet Management Services segment
as well as changes in the funding requirements of Restricted cash, cash equivalents and
investments for all of our business segments. Cash flows related to the acquisition and sale of
vehicles fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of the underlying
transactions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used in our investing activities was ($308)
million, which primarily consisted of $299 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and
sale of vehicles, $27 million increase in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments
primarily related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements on vehicle securitizations,
partially offset by $20 million in net cash inflows from the sale of an interest in our appraisal
services business.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in our investing activities was ($236)
million, which primarily consisted of $289 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and
sale of vehicles, which was reflective of the increased demand for vehicle leases during that
time that was partially offset by a $49 decrease in Restricted cash and cash equivalents
primarily related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements on vehicle securitizations.
Financing Activities
Our cash flows from financing activities include proceeds from and payments on borrowings under
our Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt, Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt and Unsecured Debt
facilities. The fluctuations in amount of borrowings within each period are due to working
capital needs and the funding requirements for assets supported by our secured and unsecured
debt, including Net investment in fleet leases, Mortgage loans held for sale, and Mortgage
servicing rights.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used by our financing activities was ($2.7)
billion and related to net payments on borrowings resulting from the decreased funding
requirements for Mortgage loans held for sale described in the Operating Activities section
above.
54
Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in our financing activities was $82
million related to net payments on borrowings resulting from the decreased funding requirements
for Mortgage loans held for sale and net investment in vehicles described in the Operating
Activities section above.
Indebtedness
We utilize both secured and unsecured debt as key components of our financing strategy. Our primary
financing needs arise from our assets under management programs which are summarized in the table
below:
Asset-backed debt is used primarily to support our investments in vehicle management and mortgage
assets, and is secured by collateral which include certain Mortgage loans held for sale and Net
investment in fleet leases, among other assets. The outstanding balance under the Asset-backed
debt facilities varies daily based on our current funding needs for eligible collateral.
The following table summarizes our indebtedness as of March 31, 2011:
See Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the components of our indebtedness.
Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt
Vehicle management asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate debt issued by our wholly
owned subsidiary, Chesapeake Funding LLC, to support the acquisition of vehicles used by our Fleet
Management Services segments U.S. leasing operations and debt issued by Fleet Leasing Receivables
Trust, a special purpose trust, used to finance leases originated by our Canadian fleet operation.
55
Table of Contents
Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt
Mortgage asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate mortgage repurchase facilities to
support the origination of mortgage loans. Mortgage repurchase facilities, also called warehouse
lines of credit, are one component of our funding strategy, and they provide creditors a
collateralized interest in specific mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the
terms of the facility during the warehouse period. The source of repayment of the facilities is
typically from the sale or securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage
market. We utilize both committed and uncommitted warehouse facilities and we evaluate our needs
under these facilities based on forecasted volume of mortgage loan closings and sales.
Our funding strategies for mortgage origination may also include the use of committed and
uncommitted mortgage gestation facilities. Gestation facilities effectively finance mortgage loans
that are eligible for sale to an agency prior to the issuance of the related MBS. As of March 31,
2011, we have $1 billion of commitments under off-balance sheet gestation facilities with JP Morgan
Chase and Bank of America, of which $236 million was utilized.
Unsecured Debt
Unsecured credit facilities are utilized to fund our short-term working capital needs, and are
utilized to supplement asset-backed facilities and provide for a portion of the operating needs of
our mortgage and fleet management businesses. As of March 31, 2011, we did not have any
outstanding amounts borrowed under the unsecured Amended Credit Facility. During the three months
ended March 31, 2011, the maximum and weighted-average daily balances of the Amended Credit
Facility were $45 million and $1 million, respectively.
Our credit ratings as of April 25, 2011 were as follows:
As of April 25, 2011, the rating outlook on our senior unsecured debt provided by Moodys Investors
Service and Standard & Poors was Stable, and the rating outlook on our senior unsecured debt
provided by Fitch Ratings was Negative.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, may not reflect all of
the risks associated with an investment in our debt securities and is subject to revision or
withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of
any other rating.
As a result of our senior unsecured long-term debt no longer being investment grade, our access to
the public debt markets may be severely limited. We may be required to rely upon alternative
sources of financing, such as bank lines and private debt placements and pledge otherwise
unencumbered assets. Furthermore, we may be unable to retain all of our existing bank credit
commitments beyond the then-existing maturity dates. As a consequence, our cost of financing could
rise significantly, thereby negatively impacting our ability to finance some of our
capital-intensive activities, such as our ongoing investment in mortgage servicing rights and other
retained interests.
See Part IItem 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Related to our CompanyOur senior unsecured long-term
debt ratings are below investment grade and, as a result, we may be limited in our ability to
obtain or renew financing on economically viable terms or at all. in our 2010 Form 10-K for more

Debt Capacity and Maturities
Capacity under all borrowing agreements is dependent upon maintaining compliance with, or obtaining
waivers of, the terms, conditions and covenants of the respective agreements. Available capacity
under asset-backed funding arrangements may be further limited by asset eligibility requirements.
Available capacity as of March 31, 2011 consisted of:
Capacity for Mortgage asset-backed debt shown excludes $2 billion available under uncommitted
facilities, and $764 million available under committed off-balance sheet gestation facilities.
The following table provides the contractual debt maturities as of March 31, 2011:
Debt Covenants
Certain of our debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain
affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, material adverse change,
liquidity maintenance, restrictions on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our material
subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on
certain types of payments.
There were no significant amendments to the terms of our debt covenants during the three months
ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants
related to our debt arrangements.
57
Table of Contents
Under certain of our financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments, the
lenders or trustees have the right to notify us if they believe we have breached a covenant under
the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were
to be given, we believe we would have various periods in which to cure certain of such events of
default. If we do not cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required
time periods, the maturity of some of our debt could be accelerated and our ability to incur
additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition, an event of default or acceleration under
certain of our agreements and instruments would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of
our other agreements and instruments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees
We utilize committed mortgage gestation facilities as a component of our financing strategy.
Certain gestation agreements are accounted for as sale transactions and result in mortgage loans
and related debt that are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March
31, 2011, we have $1 billion of commitments under off-balance sheet gestation facilities and $236
million of these facilities were utilized.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and
mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.
Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in
variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR and
commercial paper rates. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain
variable rate borrowings including our mortgage asset-backed debt, vehicle management asset-backed
debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that such interest rates will
remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.
Sensitivity Analysis
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The
sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes
(increases and decreases) in interest rates.
58
Table of Contents
We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our debt
portfolio, certain other interest-bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The
primary assumption used in these models is that an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest
rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.
We utilize a probability weighted option-adjusted spread model to determine the fair value of
mortgage servicing rights and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on mortgage servicing
rights. The primary assumptions in this model are prepayment speeds, option-adjusted spread
(discount rate) and implied volatility. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate
changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan
originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between mortgage-backed securities,
swaps and Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. For mortgage
loans, interest rate lock commitments and forward delivery commitments on mortgage-backed
securities or whole loans, we rely on market sources in determining the impact of interest rate
shifts. In addition, for interest-rate lock commitments, the borrowers propensity to close their
mortgage loans under the commitment is used as a primary assumption.
Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and
the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis
presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the
inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts
modeled.
We used March 31, 2011 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The
estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs
and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are
hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on
variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change
in fair value may not be linear.
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities
sensitive to interest rates as of March 31, 2011 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts
in the yield curve:
