Management Scenario Assumptions • Adjustments from Rating Agency Assumptions • SBPA fees • Redemption frequency & ordering • Operating distributions • Prepayment recycling • Universal cap and mortgage yield compliance • Foreclosure frequency and loss severity • Future debt issuance • Prepayment Assumptions
Use the OTS Prepayment Model Instead of PSA • Prepayments are derived from interest rates • 3 Factors • Age of the loan • Seasonality – time of the year • Refinance Factor • Compare Market Loan Rates vs. Loan Coupon • Higher Rate Loans Prepay > Lower Rate Loans • Rates fall ---- Prepayments up • Rates rise ---- Prepayments down • % of OTS calibration still necessary
Management Cash Flow Scenarios • Interest Rate Scenarios • Current Rates • Ramp Up +100, +200, +300, +400bp • Ramp Down -100, -200, -300, -400bp • Sometime Bracket with Rating Agency Rates
Management Cash Flow Scenarios • Debt Structure Evaluation • 3 vs. 4 vs. 5 Year PACs • PACs vs. Cross-Calls/Recycling • Variable/Swaps/Unhedged • Economic Refunding Evaluation • Future Savings vs. Upfront Costs • PV Savings Before and After Tax Compliance • Future Operating Distributions • Sensitivity to future interest rates • Budgeting/Planning
Management Cash Flow Scenarios • Validate Continuous Lending Programs • Impact of “Below Full Spread” Lending • Model captures cross-call & recycling opportunities (Cross-call ~ 27bps) • Leverage Accumulated Equity/Excess Spread • Manage & Sustain Size of MRB Balance Sheet • Maintain Market Position • Program Development • Cost/Benefit of Multiple Rate Programs • Cost/Benefit of Changes in Lender Comp.
Management Cash Flow Scenarios • Final Thoughts • HFAs have had > 40 years of success • Will ballooning equity + shrinking balance sheets expose HFAs to raids ? • Liabilities might be same as 2002 but scenario modeling capabilities are way up • Management Scenario Cash Flows can be an effective tool for HFA Managers • Model results from Saturday night • Not Pass Interference !!!
