ZAIS Financial Corp. Announces Updates Related To The Impact Of The Louisiana Flooding On Its Mortgage Banking Operations
GMFS is operating at full capacity and loan locks have returned to pre-flood levels. On a quarter to date basis, throughAugust 31 , production was at$420 million , with August production running approximately 5% above July production.
- Balance Sheet Exposure:
GMFS currently has 15 loans with a total Unpaid Principal Balance ("UPB") of approximately$3.0 million that are anticipated to have some level of flood damage.GMFS is in the process of assessing the level of damage for those impacted customers and is confirming whether or not those customers are covered by flood insurance. These loans represent approximately 5.4% of the$56 million in UPB of mortgage loans held for sale that were in the flood areas at the time of the storm.
- Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) Exposure: Approximately 6.4% of customers whose loans are currently serviced by
GMFS , have now accepted a 90-day forbearance period. During the 90 days,GMFS will advance taxes and insurance payments, as well as principal and interest, depending on the investor which now owns the mortgage.GMFS currently anticipates that these monthly servicing advances will total approximately$1.75 million per month, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016. While customers continue to sign up for forbearance, the request rate has slowed, and the Company currently anticipates that it will have sufficient liquidity to cover these advances.GMFS will continue to retain MSRs on new production in the coming months but estimates that loan servicing fee income will be reduced during the forbearance period.
The Company continues to monitor the situation but, except as required by law, does not intend to provide any further updates or make any further comments.
