Market Evolution • Private Sector FFELP Portfolio is $300 Billion and amortizing • Non-scale programs: “Restructure”, “right size” or “sell”? • Scale programs: add Portfolio and servicing volumes to defray investment • Capital Markets recovery: more “half full than half empty” • Financing costs have tightened dramatically though remain elevated • Financings are difficult to execute – a “by appointment ” market • An estimated $70B is not term financed, with $22B of Loans in the ECASLA Straight A Conduit • Broker/Dealers & Investors are monetizing losses • ARS Bonds often sold/exchanged at a discount (high-80s to mid-90s) • Whole loan portfolio sales occur (low- to high- 90s) Navigating the Sea of Change 2012 NCHER Knowledge Symposium
Market Evolution • NFPs/Agencies are exploring different business models • NFP DL Servicing opportunity, though economics are thin • State-based Fixed Rate Private loan programs are well received by investors • Non-diversified business models face greater challenges • The Big Guys (SLM/USAF, NNI, Large Banks, TIVAS) • Many are seeking and achieving market share gains • Continuous focus on cost efficiencies • Increased focus on extracting value • Legacy Broker Dealers continue to play a significant role • Continue to hold large ARS and warehouse positions • Broker Dealer financial participation required for most “restructurings” Navigating the Sea of Change 2012 NCHER Knowledge Symposium
Industry Consolidation • Sale of Student Loan Corporation • $26B of securitized FFELP and servicing rights sold to SLM • Citi Holdings purchases remaining FFELP and Privates • Discover purchases “stock”, thus receiving origination platform and certain securitized private loans • Alliance Holdings acquisitions: • Northstar Capital Markets (servicing and admin rights) • Panhandle Plains Servicing (servicing and admin rights) • CollegeInvest sale of $1.4B FFELP; Liquidation of $1.8B NextStudent Trust • Iowa Guarantor sale/transition to Great Lakes • First Marblehead dispositions Navigating the Sea of Change 2012 NCHER Knowledge Symposium
2013 and Beyond Developments? • Financing “restructurings” and Industry consolidation will continue • Transaction timing will be uncertain – market, Board timing, regulators • Companies, business lines and FFELP portfolios will change hands • Remaining high levels of “stuck” collateral in non-term financings • Dept. of Education’s Policy during FFELP wind down is unclear • DL and NFP Servicing impact • Guarantors: VFA? – Seems highly unlikely • Guarantor Consolidation (e.g. Iowa)? - Seems very likely • FFELP asset values will remain under par: likely in mid-to-high 90s • Value range will be driven by securitization market spreads • “legacy” program and thin buyer base will keep prices at or below par Navigating the Sea of Change 2012 NCHER Knowledge Symposium
