1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

a) Organization — EverBank Financial Corp (the Company) is a savings and loan holding company with two direct operating subsidiaries, EverBank (EB) and EverBank Funding, LLC (EBF). EB is a federally chartered thrift institution with its home office located in Jacksonville, Florida. EB's direct banking services are offered nationwide. In addition, EB operates financial centers in Florida and commercial and consumer lending centers across the United States. EB (a) accepts deposits from the general public; (b) originates, purchases, services,

sells and securitizes residential real estate mortgage loans, home equity loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans and

leases; and (c) offers full-service securities brokerage and investment advisory services.

EB’s subsidiaries are:

•AMC Holding, Inc., the parent of CustomerOne Financial Network, Inc.;

•Tygris Commercial Finance Group, Inc., the parent of EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc.;

•EverInsurance, Inc.;

•Elite Lender Services, Inc.;

•EverBank Wealth Management, Inc.; and

•Business Property Lending, Inc.

EBF facilitates the pooling and securitization of mortgage loans for issuance into the secondary market.

b) Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for acquired companies are included from their respective dates of acquisition. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in cash flows have been made.

GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates relate to the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses, loans and leases acquired with evidence of credit deterioration, contingent liabilities, and the fair values of investment securities, loans held for sale, MSR and derivative instruments. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

c) Supplemental Cash Flow Information - Noncash investing activities are presented in the following table:

Supplemental Schedules of Noncash Activities:
Loans transferred to foreclosure claims	$	312,790	$	177,685

See Note 4 for disclosures relating to noncash activities relating to loan transfers.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Payment - In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 eliminates equity treatment for tax benefits or deficiencies that result from differences between the compensation cost recognized for GAAP purposes and the related tax deduction at settlement or expiration with such changes recognized in income tax expense and excludes excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from the calculation of assumed proceeds for earnings per share purposes since such amounts are recognized in the income statement, which will result in greater volatility in earnings per share. In addition, ASU 2016-09 simplifies the statements of cash flows by eliminating the bifurcation of excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities. Upon adoption, ASU 2016-09 provides for a tiered transition approach whereby amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements and forfeitures should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2016-09 and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the existing standards for lease accounting effectively bringing most leases onto the balance sheets of the related lessees by requiring them to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, while leaving lessor accounting largely unchanged with only targeted changes incorporated into the update. ASU 2016-02 includes extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements intended to provide greater insight into the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. Upon adoption, ASU 2016-02 must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted with certain practical expedients provided. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recognition and Measurement - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which (1) requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes recognized through net income; (2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by allowing a qualitative assessment similar to those performed on long-lived assets, goodwill or intangibles to be utilized at each reporting period; (3) eliminates the use of the entry price method requiring all preparers to utilize the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement in disclosing the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost; (4) requires separate disclosure within OCI of changes in the fair value of liabilities due to instrument-specific credit risk when the fair value option has been elected; and (5) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Upon adoption, ASU 2016-01 provides for a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings except for the impacts of amendments 2 and 3 above, which are prospective in nature. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption allowable only for amendment 4 above. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2016-01 and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation - In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which (1) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIE) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Hybrid Financial Instruments - In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) -

Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or Equity, which will

eliminate diversity in practice associated with the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. ASU 2014-16 clarifies

that no single term or feature, stated or implied, would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract in

determining whether it is more akin to debt or equity. Although an individual term or feature may weigh more heavily in the evaluation, the final

determination must be made based on all economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument. Once the nature of the host contract is determined, any embedded features considered to be derivatives would be evaluated for bifurcation from the host contract. ASU

2014-16 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company notes that its Series A Preferred Shares were determined upon issuance to be more akin to equity with no embedded features having been determined to be derivatives. As such, the adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s

consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 606), which supersedes the guidance in former Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue in order to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries with certain scope exceptions including financial instruments, leases, and guarantees. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To satisfy this objective, ASU 2014-09 provides guidance intended to assist in the identification of contracts with customers and separate performance obligations within those contracts, the determination and allocation of the transaction price to those identified performance obligations and the recognition of revenue when a performance obligation has been satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also implements enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. The effective date of ASU 2014-09 has been deferred by one year from its original effective date through the August 2015 issuance of ASU 2015-14 and thus is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach requiring the restatement of all presented prior periods or a modified retrospective approach, which allows the new recognition standard to be applied to only those contracts that are not completed at the date of transition. If the modified retrospective approach is adopted, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is performed with additional disclosures required including the amount by which each line item is affected by the transition as compared to the guidance in effect before adoption and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes in these amounts. The Company is currently evaluating the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.

The Company had unrealized losses at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 on residential nonagency CMO securities, residential agency MBS, and ABS. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to weak market conditions. Based on the nature of the impairment, these unrealized losses are considered temporary. The Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had 69 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. A total of 25 were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. These 25 securities consisted of residential nonagency CMO securities. The remaining 44 debt securities were in an

Table of Contents

unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. These 44 securities consisted of 39 residential nonagency CMO securities, three ABS, and two residential agency MBS. Of the $9,653 in unrealized losses, $9,431 relate to debt securities that are rated investment grade with the remainder representing securities for which the Company believes it has both the intent and ability to hold to recovery.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had 72 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. A total of 30 were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. These 30 securities consisted of 20 residential nonagency CMO securities and ten residential agency MBS. The remaining 42 debt securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. These 42 securities consisted of three ABS, two residential agency MBS and 37 residential nonagency CMO securities. Of the $7,911 in unrealized losses, $5,298 relate to debt securities that are rated investment grade with the remainder representing securities for which the Company believes it has both the intent and ability to hold to recovery.

When certain triggers indicate the likelihood of an Other than temporary impairment (OTTI) or the qualitative evaluation performed cannot support the expectation of recovering the entire amortized cost basis of an investment, the Company performs cash flow analyses that project prepayments, default rates and loss severities on the collateral supporting each security. If the net present value of the investment is less than the amortized cost, the difference is recognized in earnings as a credit-related impairment, while the remaining difference between the fair value and the amortized cost is recognized in AOCI. There were no non-credit related OTTI losses recognized on available for sale securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. There were no non-credit OTTI losses on held to maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized credit-related OTTI of $97 on available for sale nonagency residential CMO securities. These credit-related OTTI losses represented additional declines in fair value on a security that was deemed OTTI at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized no credit-related OTTI related to available for sale or held to maturity securities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, interest and dividend income on investment securities was comprised of the following:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Interest income on available for sale securities	$	3,814	$	5,180
Interest income on held to maturity securities	748		814
Other interest and dividend income	2,842		2,028
	$	7,404	$	8,022

4. Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, consisted of the following:



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Mortgage warehouse (carried at fair value)	$	670,739	$	624,726
Other residential (carried at fair value)	351,210		683,015
Total loans held for sale carried at fair value	1,021,949		1,307,741
Other residential	2,054		22,774
Commercial and commercial real estate	113,699		178,753
Total loans held for sale carried at lower of cost or market	115,753		201,527
Total loans held for sale	$	1,137,702	$	1,509,268

The Company has elected the fair value option for loans it originates with the intent to market and sell in the secondary market either through third party sales or securitizations. Mortgage warehouse loans are largely comprised of agency deliverable products that the Company typically sells within three months subsequent to origination. The Company economically hedges the mortgage warehouse portfolio with forward purchase and sales commitments designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on the balance sheet, the Company has elected fair value accounting on this portfolio of loans due in part to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. The Company has also elected the fair value option for originated fixed-rate jumbo loans, due to the short duration that these loans are present on the balance sheet. Electing to use fair value accounting allows a better offset of the changes in the fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge these loans without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other residential mortgage, government insured pool buyouts and other commercial and commercial real estate loans as the majority of these loans were transferred from the held for investment portfolio and are expected to be sold within a short period subsequent to transfer. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

A majority of the loans held for sale that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value represent loans that were transferred from the held for investment portfolio. Other residential loans held at the lower of cost or fair value represent government insured pool buyouts that have re-performed and are now eligible to be re-securitized or sold to third parties and other residential mortgage loans for which the Company has changed its intent and has made a decision to sell the loans and as such transferred the loans to held for sale. A majority of these other residential mortgage loans consists of jumbo preferred adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans. Commercial and commercial real estate loans represent multi-family loans which the Company is actively marketing to sell. As the Company no longer has the intent to hold these loans for the foreseeable future, the loans were transferred to held for sale. Residential loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans and equipment financing receivables are transferred to the held for sale portfolio when the Company has entered into a commitment to sell a specific portion of its held for investment portfolio or when the Company has a formal marketing strategy to sell a certain loan product.

Table of Contents

In conjunction with the sale of loans and leases, the Company may be exposed to limited liability related to recourse agreements and repurchase agreements made to its insurers and purchasers, which are included in commitments and contingencies in Note 14. Commitments and contingencies include amounts related to loans sold that the Company may be required to repurchase, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred, due to a breach with respect to Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) purchasers or a material breach with respect to non-GSE purchasers, of contractual representations and warranties. Refer to Note 14 for the maximum exposure to loss for material breach of contractual representations and warranties.

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

(1)	Government insured pool buyouts remain on accrual status after 89 days as the interest earned is collectible from the insuring governmental agency.

Residential Foreclosures and Repossessed Assets — Once all potential alternatives for loan reinstatement are exhausted, past due loans collateralized by residential real estate are referred for foreclosure proceedings in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. Once possession of the property collateralizing the loan is obtained, the repossessed property is recorded within other assets either as other real estate owned or, where management has both the intent and ability to recover its losses through a government guarantee, as a foreclosure claim receivable.

As the allowable time frame for initiating the loan foreclosure process varies by jurisdiction, the Company has determined, for purposes of disclosure, loans collateralized by residential real estate are considered to be in the process of foreclosure once they are 120 days or more past due. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had loans collateralized by residential real estate with carrying values of $3,155,354 and $2,994,749, respectively, that were 120 days or more past due. Of the residential loans that were 120 days or more past due, $3,118,953 and $2,960,397 represented loans that were government insured at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had foreclosure claims receivable of $519,612 and $530,624, net of valuation allowances of $10,333 and $11,187, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had residential other real estate owned of $15,222 and $8,069, net of valuation allowances of $402 and $275, respectively. Of the residential other real estate owned, $9,515 and $1,989, respectively, were government insured at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

Total	$	23,441	$	34,132

Residential

For loans securitized and sold with servicing retained during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, management used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of residential MSR at the date of securitization:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Average discount rates	9.59	%	—	9.92%
Expected prepayment speeds	10.06	%	—	10.55%
Weighted-average life in years	6.88		—	7.11



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
Average discount rates	10.08	%	—	10.16%
Expected prepayment speeds	10.21	%	—	11.38%
Weighted-average life in years	6.29		—	6.98

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company estimated the fair value of its capitalized residential MSR to be approximately $313,228 and $337,835, respectively. The carrying value of its residential MSR was $312,249 and $334,572 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The unpaid principal balance below excludes $8,898,000 and $8,686,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, for residential loans with no related MSR basis. The MSR portfolio was valued using internally developed estimated cash flows, leading to a Level 3 fair value asset. For more information on the fair value of the Company’s MSR portfolio see Note 13.

The characteristics used in estimating the fair value of the residential MSR portfolio at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:



	March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015
Unpaid principal balance	$	31,171,000		$	31,155,000
Gross weighted-average coupon	4.29		%	4.31		%
Weighted-average servicing fee	0.27		%	0.27		%
Expected prepayment speed ⁽¹⁾	11.74		%	11.34		%


(1)	The prepayment speed assumptions include a blend of prepayment speeds that are influenced by mortgage interest rates, the current macroeconomic environment and borrower behaviors and may vary over the expected life of the asset.

A sensitivity analysis of the Company’s fair value of residential MSR portfolio to hypothetical adverse changes of 10% and 20% to the weighted-average of certain key assumptions as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is presented below.



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Prepayment Rate
10% adverse rate change	$	13,565	$	12,718
20% adverse rate change	26,230		24,659
Discount Rate
10% adverse rate change	11,384		12,805
20% adverse rate change	21,994		24,717

In the previous table, the effect of a variation in a specific assumption on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. This analysis typically cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights usually is not linear. The effect of changing one key assumption will likely result in the change of another key assumption which could impact the sensitivities.

Commercial

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's commercial MSR was $422 and $708 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized $385 and $4,024 of prepayment penalty income in other noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

8. Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Notes Payable

Trust preferred securities and subordinated notes payable as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, consisted of the following:



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Trust preferred securities	$	103,750	$	103,750
Subordinated notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3,583 and $2,580, respectively	261,417		172,420
Total trust preferred securities and subordinated notes payable	$	365,167	$	276,170

Subordinated Notes Payable

On March 14, 2016, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $90,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (Subordinated Notes due 2026). The Subordinated Notes due 2026 were sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement at a price to the public of 100% of the face amount and were issued pursuant to an indenture and a supplemental indenture. The Subordinated Notes due 2026 will mature on March 15, 2026 and bear a fixed rate of interest of 6.00% per annum through March 14, 2021 and a floating rate of interest beginning March 15, 2021 equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 4.70%, resetting on a quarterly basis. During the fixed rate period, interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. During the floating rate period, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. Beginning March 15, 2021 and thereafter, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Subordinated Notes due 2026 in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. On March 30, 2016, the Company made a capital contribution to EB in the amount of $85,000 from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes due 2026.

9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company's effective income tax rate was 38.2% and 37.9%, respectively. The effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes for both periods.

10. Share-Based Compensation

Option Plans - During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 83,500 options were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $543.

Table of Contents

Nonvested Stock - The Company issues restricted stock awards, consisting of restricted stock units, to certain employees as an incentive for continued employment and achievement of defined performance metrics by the Company and to certain directors in lieu of cash payouts for compensation. Beginning in 2016, the Company issued service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards. The grant date fair value of the service-based awards is equal to the price of the Company's common stock at grant date adjusted for expected dividends as the Company's restricted stock units do not accrue dividends. The fair value of the performance-based awards is based on a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation of the Company's common stock as of the grant date.

On March 29, 2016, the Company issued 440,260 service-based restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $14.14. The Company issued 282,308 performance-based restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $4.33, which reflects the impact that the market condition has on the fair value of the award. For the performance-based restricted stock units, employees will earn shares, totaling between 0% and 200% of the number of units issued, based on the achievement of total shareholder return goals over one, two and three year performance periods, with an opportunity for full vesting (200% of target shares) based on three year performance.

11. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Basic earnings per share	$	0.20		$	0.09
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.20		$	0.09

Certain securities were antidilutive and were therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Common shares attributed to these antidilutive securities had these securities been exercised or converted as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Freestanding Derivatives

The following table shows the net gains and losses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 in the consolidated statements of income related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These gains and losses are recognized in noninterest income, except for the indemnification assets which are recognized in general and administrative expense.

Freestanding derivatives
Gains (losses) on interest rate contracts ⁽¹⁾	$	(31,712	)	$	(9,759	)

(1)	Interest rate contracts include interest rate lock commitments, forward and optional forward purchase and sales commitments, and interest rate swaps and futures.

(2)

Foreign exchange forward contracts act as economic hedges for the foreign currency risk embedded within deposits denominated in foreign currencies. The change in the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract is marked to fair value, while the deposit is translated to the current spot rate in accordance with ASC 830. Historically, the hedge has been effective in managing the foreign currency risk of foreign-denominated deposits by locking in the U.S. Dollar cash flows.

Interest rate contracts are predominantly used as economic hedges of interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. Other derivatives are predominantly used as economic hedges of foreign exchange, commodity, metals, and U.S. Treasury yield risk.

Credit Risk Contingent Features

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral when derivatives are in a net liability position. The provisions generally are dependent upon the Company’s credit rating based on certain major credit rating agencies or dollar amounts in a liability position at any given time which exceed specified thresholds, as indicated in the relevant contracts. In these circumstances, the counterparties could demand additional collateral or require termination or replacement of derivative instruments in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position prior to netting on March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $103,407 and $41,597, respectively. The Company offsets derivative instruments against the rights to reclaim cash collateral or the obligations to return cash collateral in the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $96,418 and $35,364, respectively, in collateral was netted against liability derivative positions subject to master netting agreements. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $135,685 and $76,175, respectively, of collateral was posted for derivatives with credit risk contingent features.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. If the counterparty fails to perform, counterparty credit risk equals the amount reported as derivative assets in the balance sheet. The amounts reported as derivative assets are derivative contracts in a gain position, and to the extent subject to master netting arrangements, net of derivatives in a loss position with the same counterparty and cash collateral received. The Company minimizes this risk through obtaining credit approvals, monitoring credit limits, monitoring procedures, and executing master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Company offsets derivative instruments against the rights to reclaim cash collateral or the obligations to return cash collateral in the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $15,297 and $1,655, respectively, in collateral was netted against asset derivative positions subject to master netting agreements. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held $17,630 and $2,900, respectively, in collateral from its counterparties. Counterparty credit risk related to derivatives is considered in determining fair value.

13. Fair Value Measurements

Asset and liability fair value measurements have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy described below:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the Company reports the transfer at the end of the reporting period.

Loans Held for Sale Accounted for under the Fair Value Option

The following table presents information on loans held for sale reported under the fair value option at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



March 31, 2016
Fair value carrying amount	$	1,021,949
Aggregate unpaid principal balance	983,257
Fair value carrying amount less aggregate unpaid principal	$	38,692
December 31, 2015
Fair value carrying amount	$	1,307,741
Aggregate unpaid principal balance	1,277,340
Fair value carrying amount less aggregate unpaid principal	$	30,401

No loans recorded under the fair value option were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Differences between the fair value carrying amount and the aggregate unpaid principal balance include changes in fair value recorded at and subsequent to funding, gains and losses on the related loan commitment prior to funding and premiums or discounts on acquired loans.

The net gains from initial measurement of loans accounted for under the fair value option and subsequent changes in fair value for loans outstanding was $33,319 and $34,684 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are included in gain on sale of loans. These amounts exclude the impact from offsetting hedging arrangements which are also included in gain on sale of loans in the condensed consolidated statements of income. An immaterial portion of the change in fair value was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

The Company has elected the fair value option for extended written loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans in the Company’s held for investment portfolio. The Company economically hedges these extended loan commitments with MBS options designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the longer duration these loan commitments are present on the balance sheet, the Company has elected the fair value option of accounting. The fair value option of accounting was elected for these instruments due to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for investment with lock terms less than 61 days. The net gains from initial measurement of extended written loan commitments accounted for under the fair value option and subsequent changes in fair value for those commitments was $168 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. An immaterial portion of the change in fair value was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. These measurements primarily result from assets carried at the lower of cost or fair value or from impairment of individual assets. Gains and losses disclosed below represent changes in fair value recognized during the reporting period. The change in the MSR value represents a change due to impairment or recoveries on previous write downs. The carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and held at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and related changes in fair value are as follows:



	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Loss (Gain) Due to Change in Fair Value

(1)	The Company performs its lower of cost or fair value analysis when an asset becomes impaired or when a loan is transferred to OREO. Subsequent valuations are performed periodically and usually occur throughout the reporting period. The table above discloses the period ending investment using the most recent asset valuation.


(2)	Gains and losses resulting from subsequent measurement of OREO are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income as general and administrative expense. OREO is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


(3)	The fair value for mortgage servicing rights represents the value of the strata with impairment or recoveries on previous valuation allowances. Total gains and losses due to change in fair value excludes write-offs of the valuation allowance of $20,208 related to the sale of $54,227 in MSR during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. This table excludes financial instruments with short-term or no stated maturity, prevailing market rates and limited credit risk, and where carrying amounts approximate fair value. For financial assets such as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, FHLB restricted stock, and other investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings and money market deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these liabilities have no stated maturity.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Valuation Methodology

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:

Investment Securities — Within the other available for sale securities portfolio, the Company holds equity securities which are valued

using quoted market prices for identical equity securities in the market and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The

remaining investment portfolio (nonagency CMO, ABS, agency CMO which contain both available for sale and held to maturity investment securities and agency MBS securities) uses fair values which are derived from quoted market prices and values from third party pricing services for which management understands the methods used to determine fair value and is able to assess the values and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also performs an assessment of the pricing of investment securities received from third party pricing services to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value. The procedures include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of pricing methodologies and trends. The Company has the ability to challenge values and discuss its analysis with the third party pricing service providers in order to ensure that investments are recorded or disclosed at the appropriate fair value.

When the level and volume of trading activity for certain securities has significantly declined and/or when the Company believes that third party pricing may be based in part on forced liquidations or distressed sales, the Company will perform additional analysis. The Company analyzes each security for the appropriate valuation methodology based on a combination of the market approach reflecting third party pricing information and a discounted cash flow approach. In calculating the fair value derived from the income approach, the Company makes certain significant assumptions in addition to those discussed above related to the liquidity risk premium, specific non-performance and default experience in the collateral underlying the security. The values resulting from the market and income approaches are weighted to derive the final fair value for each security trading in an inactive market. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, management did not make any adjustments to the prices provided by the third party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.

Loans Held for Sale — Fair values for loans held for sale valued under the fair value option are derived from quoted market prices for similar loans resulting in a classification within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy or from models using loan characteristics including product type, pricing features and loan maturity dates and economic assumptions including prepayment estimates and discount rates based on prices currently offered in secondary markets for similar loans resulting in a classification within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Certain conforming residential mortgage loans carried at the lower of cost or market are valued using market observable pricing inputs for similar loans, which are derived from third party loan sales and securitizations and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Fair values for non-conforming residential mortgage loans and commercial and commercial real estate loans carried at lower of cost or market are derived from models using characteristics of the loans including product type, pricing features, underlying collateral and loan maturity dates and economic assumptions including prepayment estimates, discount rates and estimated credit losses for loans for which a majority of the significant assumptions are observable in the market. The Company estimates the fair value of loans held for sale utilizing a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the collateral and underlying loan characteristics, as well as assumptions to determine the discount rate such as credit loss and prepayment forecasts, and servicing costs. In determining the appropriate discount rate, prepayment and credit assumptions, the Company monitors other capital markets activity for similar collateral being traded and/or interest rates currently being offered for similar products. Discussions related to the fair value of these loans held for sale are held between our internal valuation specialists and executive and business unit management to discuss the key assumptions used in arriving at the final estimates and these loans are therefore classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Loans Held for Investment — Fair values for loans held for investment are derived using a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the collateral and underlying loan characteristics. The valuation model uses loan characteristics which includes product type, maturity dates, credit profile of the loans, and the underlying interest rate of the portfolio. This information is input into the valuation models along with various forecast valuation assumptions including credit loss assumptions, servicing cost (if any), prepayment forecasts, and risk adjusted capital to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party databases. Noting the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, the Company includes loans held for investment within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans — At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined primarily by using an income, cost, or market approach and is normally provided through appraisals. Impaired loans carried at fair value receive specific allocations within the allowance for loan and lease losses. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. For collateral dependent loans for which a new appraisal is expected in the next quarter, the appraisal is reviewed by an officer and an adjustment is made, if appropriate, based on a review of the property, historical changes in value, and current market rates. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated at least quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned — Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value (less estimated costs to sell). Fair value is generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as OREO. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments on commercial properties are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals for OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Company's valuation services group reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal. To assess the reasonableness of the fair value, the Company's valuation services group compares the assumptions to independent data sources such as

recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.

Mortgage Servicing Rights — Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the carrying amount of an individual stratum exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that stratum so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. In addition, a third-party valuation is obtained quarterly. The servicing portfolio is valued using all relevant positive and negative cash flows including servicing fees; miscellaneous income and float; costs of servicing; the cost of carry of advances; foreclosure losses; and applying certain prevailing assumptions used in the marketplace. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The assumptions are a combination of market and Company specific data. On a quarterly basis, the portfolio management group compares the Company’s estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights to a third-party valuation as part of the valuation process. Discussions are held between executive management and the independent third-party to review the key assumptions used by the respective parties in arriving at those estimates, and adjusted as necessary.

Time Deposits — The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, and volatility factors. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. The Company considers the impact of its own credit spreads in the valuation of these liabilities. The credit risk is determined by reference to observable credit spreads in the secondary cash market and therefore time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other Borrowings — For advances that bear interest at a variable rate, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate advances, fair value is estimated using quantitative discounted cash flow models that require the use of interest rate inputs that are currently offered for fixed-rate advances of similar remaining maturities. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. For hybrid advances, fair value is obtained from an FHLB proprietary model that provides the mathematical approximation of the market value of the underlying hedge. The terms of the hedge are similar to the advances and therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Trust Preferred Securities — Fair value is estimated using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate pricing curves. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. The Company interpolates its own credit spreads in the valuation of these liabilities. Due to the significance of the credit spread in the valuation inputs, trust preferred securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Subordinated Notes Payable —The Company issued and sold through a public offering $175,000 and $90,000 of subordinated notes on June 30, 2015 and March 14, 2016, respectively. These notes are valued using quoted market prices for the publicly traded debt, but are not actively traded on the secondary market and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Interest Rate Swaps and Interest Rate Swap Futures — The fair value of interest rate swaps and forward interest rate swaps is determined by a third party using a derivative valuation model. The inputs used in the valuation model are based on contract terms which primarily include start and end swap dates, swap coupon, interest rate curve and notional amounts, and other standard methodologies which are obtained from similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 12 for additional information on cash flow hedges.

The fair value of interest rate swap futures is determined based upon quotes provided by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on which these instruments are traded. As such quotes represent valuations for identical instruments in active markets they are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Such pricing is utilized for both active trading and daily settlement of pricing adjustments on outstanding positions. As these pricing adjustments are settled daily between the exchange and the Company, the result is that the Company holds interest futures with an outstanding notional and a Level 1 fair value of zero as of the balance sheet date.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments and Extended Written Loan Commitments— Fair values of interest rate lock commitments and extended written loan commitments are derived using valuation models incorporating current market information or by obtaining market or dealer quotes for instruments with similar characteristics, subject to anticipated loan funding probability or fallout. The significant unobservable input used in the valuation process is the closing ratio, which represents management's estimate of the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which will ultimately close. The loan closing ratio is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock through the time the loan closes. The closing ratio is computed by the Company's secondary marketing system using historical data and the ratio is periodically reviewed by the secondary marketing group for reasonableness and as such both IRLC and extended written loan commitments are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Generally, the fair value of these instruments are positive (negative) if the prevailing interest rate is lower (higher) than the locked in rate. Therefore, an increase in the loan closing probability (i.e., higher percentage of loans estimated to close) will result in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment to increase if in a gain position, or decrease if in a loss position.

Forward Sales Commitments and Optional Forward Purchase and Sale Commitments — The fair value of forward sales and optional forward purchase and sale commitments is determined based upon the difference between the settlement values of the commitments and the quoted market values of the securities, which can be quoted using similar instruments in the active market and therefore are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Foreign Exchange Contracts —Fair values of foreign exchange contracts are based on quoted prices for each foreign currency at the balance sheet date. The quoted prices are for similar instruments and therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Options and Options Embedded in Client Deposits—For options and embedded options in client deposits, the fair value is determined by obtaining market or dealer quotes for instruments with similar characteristics in active markets and therefore both options and options embedded in client deposits are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments — Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions. These commitments, predominantly at variable interest rates, are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

In order to meet the needs of its clients, the Company also issues standby letters of credit, which are conditional commitments generally to provide credit support for some creditors in case of default. The credit risk and potential cash requirements involved in issuing standby letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loan facilities to clients.

Unfunded credit extension commitments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Commercial and commercial real estate ⁽¹⁾	$	2,045,602	$	2,002,796
Home equity lines of credit	431,571		144,190
Credit card lines of credit	22,773		21,979
Standby letters of credit	15,293		15,639
Total unfunded credit extension commitments	$	2,515,239	$	2,184,604


(1)	Of the outstanding unfunded commercial commitments, $913,972 and $909,065 were cancellable by the Company at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company enters into floating rate residential loan commitments to lend. There were $183,488 and $169,922 of these commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company also has entered into commitments to lend related to loans in the origination pipeline. These commitments represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual provisions.

The contractual amounts of the Company's commitments to lend in the held for investment origination pipeline at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Residential mortgage	$	469,081	$	495,039
Commercial and commercial real estate	738,910		662,509
Equipment financing receivables	337,780		329,278
Total commitments to lend in the pipeline	$	1,545,771	$	1,486,826

Standby letters of credit issued by third party entities are used to guarantee the Company's performance under various contracts. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $223,276 and $231,248, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

EverBank periodically enters into forward-dated borrowing agreements with the FHLB to borrow funds at a fixed rate of interest. Prior to the funding date, EB has the right to terminate any of the advances subject to voluntary termination fees. The outstanding forward-dated agreements as of March 31, 2016 are as follows:



Agreement Date	Funding Date	Amount	Interest Rate		Maturity Date
June 2015	March 2017	25,000	2.86	%	June 2022
June 2015	September 2017	25,000	3.01	%	September 2022

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale at interest rates determined prior to funding. Interest rate lock commitments for loans that the Company intends to sell are considered freestanding derivatives and are recorded at fair value. See Note 12 and Note 13 for information on interest rate lock commitments as they are not included in the table above. The Company has also elected the fair value option on extended written loan commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for investment. See Note 13 for more information on these extended written loan commitments as they are included in the origination pipeline table above under the residential designation.

The Company also has an agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League whereby the Company obtained the naming rights to the football stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. On July 3, 2014, the Company entered into an extension to the agreement for the naming rights and under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $39,301, in the aggregate, through February 28, 2025. Under the agreement, the amount due in 2016 is $3,869, and the amount increases 3% each year through 2025.

Guarantees — The Company sells and securitizes conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans predominantly to GSEs, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Company also sells residential mortgage loans, primarily those that do not meet criteria for whole loan sales to GSEs (nonconforming mortgage loans), through whole loan sales and securitizations to private non-GSE purchasers. In doing so, representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans are made to the GSE or the third-party purchaser. Subsequent to the sale, if it is determined that the loans sold are (1) with respect to the GSEs, in breach of these representations or warranties or (2) with respect to non-GSE purchasers, in material breach of these representations and warranties, the Company generally has an obligation to either: (a) repurchase the loan for the UPB, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. From 2010 through March 31, 2016, the Company originated, sold and securitized approximately $41,702,249 of mortgage loans to GSEs and private non-GSE purchasers.

Table of Contents

In some cases, the Company also has an obligation to repurchase loans in the event of early payment default (EPD) which is typically triggered if a borrower does not make the first several payments due after the loan has been sold to an investor. Certain of the Company's private investors have agreed to waive EPD provisions for conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans and certain jumbo loan products. However, the Company is subject to EPD provisions for certain non-conforming jumbo loan products and certain cash sales to GSEs.

The Company’s obligations vary based upon the nature of the repurchase demand and the current status of the mortgage loan. The Company establishes reserves for estimated losses inherent in the Company’s origination and sale of mortgage loans. In estimating the accrued liability for loan repurchases, indemnifications and make-whole obligations, the Company estimates probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in claims requests and actual loss severities experienced. The liability includes accruals for probable contingent losses in addition to those identified in the pipeline of repurchase, make-whole and indemnification requests. There is additional inherent uncertainty in the estimate because the Company historically sold a majority of loans servicing released prior to 2009 and currently does not have servicing performance metrics on a majority of those loans it originated and sold during that time period. The estimation process is designed to include amounts based on actual losses experienced from actual repurchase activity. The baseline for the repurchase reserve uses historical loss factors that are applied to loan pools originated and sold. Loss factors, tracked by year of loss, are calculated using actual losses incurred on repurchase, indemnification or make-whole arrangements. Under this Level 3 technique, the historical loss factors experienced are accumulated for each sale vintage (year loan was sold) and are applied to more recent sale vintages to estimate inherent losses not yet realized. The Company’s estimated recourse related to these loans was $4,033 and $4,290 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company incurred liabilities for new loan sales and securitizations of $544 and $442 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The liability is amortized, through a credit to earnings, as the Company is released from risk.

In the ordinary course of its loan servicing activities, the Company routinely initiates actions to foreclose real estate securing serviced loans. For certain serviced loans in which the Company does not own the underlying mortgage, there are provisions in which the Company is either obligated to fund foreclosure-related costs or to repurchase loans in default. Additionally, as servicer, the Company could be obligated to repurchase loans from or indemnify GSEs for loans originated by defunct originators. The outstanding principal balance on residential loans serviced for others at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $31,171,000 and $31,155,000, respectively. The amount of estimated recourse recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to servicing activities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $1,671 and $1,806, respectively.

Federal Reserve Requirement — The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) requires certain institutions, including EB, to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash and average account balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve requirement is based on average deposits outstanding and was $135,313 and $138,812 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Legal Actions — On January 5, 2016, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) terminated EverBank’s consent order, including the remaining portions of the 2011 consent order as amended in 2013 and 2015, having determined that EverBank had satisfied the requirements of such order. In conjunction with the termination, EverBank was required by the OCC to pay $1,000 in civil money penalties pertaining to certain improper fees charged to borrowers during the timeframe the consent order had been in place. At March 31, 2016, EverBank has accrued approximately $607 for potential further remediation payments to be made to borrowers under that action plan. The Company’s consent order with the FRB relating to its oversight of mortgage foreclosure practices currently remains in place.

15. Variable Interest Entities

The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve VIEs, which are legal entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities, or the equity investors of the entities as a group lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate.

Non-consolidated VIEs

The table below summarizes select information related to variable interests held by the Company at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
Non-consolidated VIEs	Total Assets		Maximum Exposure		Total Assets		Maximum Exposure
Loans provided to VIEs	$	23,217	$	23,217	$	31,825	$	31,825
Debt securities	605,847		605,847		658,536		658,536

Loans provided to VIEs

The Company has provided funding to certain unconsolidated VIEs sponsored by third parties. These VIEs are generally established to finance certain small business loans originated by third parties and are not considered to have significant equity at risk. The entities are primarily funded through the issuance of loans from the Company and a certified development company (CDC). The Company's loan is secured by a first lien. Although the Company retains the servicing rights to the loan, the Company is unable to unilaterally make all decisions necessary to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE; therefore, it is not the primary beneficiary. The principal risk to which these entities are exposed is credit risk related to the underlying assets. The loans to these VIEs are included in both the Company’s overall analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The Company does not provide any implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to these VIEs. The Company records these commercial loans on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as loans held for investment.

Table of Contents

Debt securities

All MBS, CMO and ABS securities owned by the Company are issued through VIEs. The related VIEs were not consolidated, as the Company was not determined to be the primary beneficiary because, as only a holder of investments issued by the VIE, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. See Note 3 for information related to debt securities.

Mortgage securitizations

The Company provides a variety of mortgage loan products to a diverse customer base. Once originated, the Company often securitizes these loans through the use of VIEs. These VIEs are funded through the issuance of trust certificates backed solely by the transferred assets. These mortgage loan securitizations are non-recourse except in accordance with the Company's standard obligations under representations and warranties. Thereby, the transactions effectively transfer the risk of future credit losses to the purchasers of the securities issued by the trust. The Company generally retains the servicing rights of the transferred assets but does not retain any other interest in the entities. Because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of its U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate these U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations.

Additionally, the Company does not consolidate VIEs of private label securitizations. Although the Company is the servicer of the VIE, the servicing relationship is deemed to be a fiduciary relationship and, therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Refer to Note 4 for information related to sales of residential mortgage receivables and Note 7 for information related to mortgage servicing rights.

16. Segment Information

The Company has three reportable business segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Corporate Services. The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer distinctive products and services marketed through different channels. These segments are managed separately because of their marketing and distribution requirements.

The Consumer Banking segment includes consumer deposit services and activities, residential lending and servicing, wealth management, and capital markets. Commercial Banking includes commercial and commercial real estate lending, lender finance, equipment finance and leasing, mortgage warehouse finance and commercial deposits.

The Corporate Services segment provides services to the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking segments including executive management, risk management, technology, legal, human resources, marketing, corporate development, treasury, accounting, finance and other services and transaction-related items. Direct expenses are allocated to the reporting segments. Unallocated expenses are included in Corporate Services. Certain other expenses, including interest expense on trust preferred debt and subordinated notes payable and transaction-related items, are included in the Corporate Services segment.

The chief operating decision maker’s review of each segment’s performance is based on segment income, which is defined as income from operations before income taxes and certain corporate allocations. Additionally, total net revenue is defined as net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and total noninterest income.

Intersegment revenue among the Company’s business units reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing (FTP) process, which takes into account assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company’s overall asset and liability management activities. This provides for the creation of an economic benchmark, which allows the Company to determine the profitability of the Company’s products and cost centers by calculating profitability spreads between product yields and internal references. However, business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to client pricing decisions within guidelines.

FTP serves to transfer interest rate risk to the Treasury function through a transfer pricing methodology and cost allocation model. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of the Company’s methodologies and assumptions that management believes are appropriate to accurately reflect business segment results. These factors are subject to change based on changes in current interest rates and market conditions.

Table of Contents

The results of each segment are reported on a continuing basis. The following table presents financial information of reportable business segments as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period information in this MD&A has been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

Introduction and Overview

We are a savings and loan holding company which operates primarily through our direct subsidiary, EverBank. EB is a federally chartered thrift institution with its home office located in Jacksonville, Florida. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” "EFC," or the “Company” refer to the holding company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. We are a diversified financial services company that provides innovative banking, lending and investment products and services to clients nationwide through scalable, low-cost distribution channels. Our business model attracts financially sophisticated, self-directed, mass-affluent clients and a diverse base of small and medium sized business clients. We market and distribute our banking products and services primarily through our integrated online and mobile financial portal, high-volume financial centers in targeted Florida markets and other national business relationships. These channels are connected by technology-driven centralized platforms, which provide operating leverage throughout our business.

We have a suite of asset origination and fee income businesses that individually generate attractive financial returns and collectively leverage our core deposit franchise and client base. We originate, invest in, sell and service residential mortgage loans, equipment loans and leases, and various other consumer and commercial loans, as market conditions warrant. Our organic origination activities are scalable, significant relative to our balance sheet size and provide us with substantial growth potential. Our origination, lending and servicing expertise positions us to acquire assets in the capital markets when risk-adjusted returns available through acquisition exceed those available through origination. Our rigorous analytical approach provides capital markets discipline to calibrate our levels of asset origination, retention and acquisition. These activities diversify our earnings, strengthen our balance sheet and provide us with flexibility to capitalize on market opportunities.

Our deposit franchise fosters strong relationships with a large number of financially sophisticated clients and provides us with a stable and flexible source of low all-in cost funding. We have a demonstrated ability to grow our client deposit base with short lead time by adapting our product offerings and marketing activities rather than incurring the higher fixed operating costs inherent in more branch-intensive banking models. Our extensive offering of deposit products and services includes proprietary features that distinguish us from our competitors and enhance our value proposition to clients. Our products, distribution and marketing strategies allow us to generate substantial deposit growth while maintaining an attractive mix of high value transaction and savings accounts.

Economic and Interest Rate Environment

The results of our operations are highly dependent on economic conditions and market interest rates. To stimulate economic activity and stabilize the financial markets, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) has maintained historically low market interest rates since 2009. Market conditions have improved during this period as the unemployment rate declined to 5.0% at March 31, 2016, and consumer confidence, gross domestic product and average home prices have all risen. While economic conditions have improved domestically, under-employment and wage growth remain a worry amidst the backdrop of low inflation in the United States and abroad. Recent upticks in labor force participation alongside wage growth are being closely monitored by the markets for signs of sustained or expected inflation. Moreover, inflation in most of the Euro- Zone is at or below zero and central banks around the world have maintained an accommodative stance with continued drops in short term rates. A handful of developed economies now have negative interest rates and the accommodative stance by these major economies has created resistance for domestic rates to rise. Such factors, combined with geopolitical turmoil have continued to keep interest rates at near historical low levels. The FRB announced a quarter point increase to short term rates in December 2015. The resulting strength of the dollar coupled with falling oil prices has led to growing speculation as to how likely and quickly that the FRB may further raise short term interest rates. This has caused market disruption in the bond markets as the spread between the 10 year and 2 year swap rates at March 31, 2016 narrowed to just 0.79%. The growing belief that the FRB will raise rates at a slower pace and the perceived potential of a global recession drove long term rates down including dropping the benchmark mortgage rate (BMR) to 3.65% at March 31, 2016 and went as low as 3.53% during the quarter. The drop in the BMR, especially from a historically low BMR, impacts the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights (MSR) as well as influences volumes in our mortgage production business.

Net interest income is our largest source of income and is driven primarily as a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and the spread between the contractual yield on such assets and the contractual cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the FRB and market interest rates. The cost of our deposits is largely based on short-term interest rates which are driven primarily by the FRB’s actions. However, the yields generated by our loans and securities are typically driven by longer-term interest rates which are set by the market, or, at times by the FRB’s actions. Our net interest income is therefore influenced by movements in interest rates and the pace at which these movements occur.

(1)	Total revenue is defined as net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and total noninterest income.

(2)

Return on average risk-weighted assets equals net income divided by average risk-weighted assets. Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.


(3)	Return on average equity is calculated as net income less dividends declared on the 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock divided by average common shareholders' equity (average shareholders' equity less average 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock).

(4)

Adjusted return on average equity is calculated as adjusted net income less dividends declared on the 6.75% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock divided by average common shareholders' equity. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. For a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income, see Table 2.


(5)	The efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue. We use the efficiency ratio to measure noninterest costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue.

(6)

The adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense as a percentage of adjusted total revenue based on adjusted net income. The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is the efficiency ratio. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, see Table 2. For detailed information regarding the adjusted efficiency ratio, see Table 3. We use the adjusted efficiency ratio to measure adjusted noninterest costs expended to generate a dollar of adjusted revenue.

(7)

Calculated as tangible common shareholders' equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. Tangible common shareholders' equity equals shareholders' equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and perpetual preferred stock (see Table 4). Tangible common equity per common share is calculated using a denominator that includes actual period end common shares outstanding. Tangible common equity per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share. For a reconciliation of tangible common equity per common share, see Table 4.

(1)	The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period's average yield/cost. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous period's volume. Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to rate.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is affected by both changes in interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is defined as net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.

First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015

Net interest income increased by $18.3 million, or 12%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to an increase in interest income of $35.8 million, or 18%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $17.5 million, or 37%. Our net interest margin decreased by 27 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, which was led by a decrease in yields on our interest-earning assets due to a continued low interest rate environment coupled with an increase in rates on interest-bearing liabilities, which is primarily to fund the growth in our balance sheet.

Yields on our interest-earning assets decreased by 14 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in yields on our loans and leases held for investment partially offset by increases in yields on our investment securities and loans held for sale.

The yields on our investment securities increased by 37 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to sales of lower yielding investment securities and purchases of higher yielding investment securities since the first quarter of 2015.

The yields on our loans held for sale increased by 10 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to increases in the current market mortgage rates of our loans held for sale coupled with commercial real estate loans held for sale that were transferred into held for sale during third quarter of 2015, which carry a higher yield.

The yields on our loans and leases held for investment portfolio decreased by 20 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, which was consistent across most of our portfolios. The yield on our total commercial and commercial real estate held for investment portfolio decreased 64 basis points due to decreases in yields in commercial real estate and other commercial and lender finance portfolios coupled with the relative increase in our mortgage warehouse finance compared to our other commercial loan portfolios. The yield on our commercial real estate and other commercial portfolio declined by 78 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to continued production of commercial real estate and other commercial loans at current market rates, the purchase of an asset based lending platform with lower yields than our existing portfolio, and a reduction in prepayment income. Yields on our lender finance portfolio decreased 15 basis points due to continued production and additional advances at current market rates. In addition, the increase in the balance in our mortgage warehouse finance business also negatively impacted the yield on our commercial loans as it has the lowest yield of the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio due to the short-term nature of these assets. Yields on our equipment financing receivables decreased 30 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to continued production of leases at current market interest rates. The yield on our residential mortgages held for investment increased 8 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to the performance of our government insured pool buyout portfolio which saw an increase in yield of 49 basis points. This was partially offset by the continued production of current market rate assets coupled with paydowns of higher yielding assets originated or purchased in a higher interest rate environment.

The yields on our interest-bearing liabilities increased by 11 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to increases in the rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. The rates paid on our other borrowings increased by 14 basis points in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of the rate paid on our short term FHLB advances which increased 22 basis points as well as a change in the overall make-up of our FHLB advance balance which saw a large increase in the amount of long term FHLB advances compared to a decrease in our short term FHLB advances. The rates paid on our deposits increased 8 basis points during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the increase in our time deposits which carry a higher interest rate than our interest bearing demand and money market accounts.

Average balances of our interest-earning assets increased by $4.4 billion, or 22%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a $4.0 billion increase in loans and leases held for investment and a $0.5 billion increase in loans held for sale. This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 billion decrease in our investments portfolio.

The year over year increase in the average balance of loans and leases held for investment was $4.0 billion in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, as a result of increases of $1.7 billion, $1.6 billion, $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion in our residential mortgage, commercial and commercial real estate, equipment financing receivables and home equity lines and other portfolios, respectively. The increase in the average balance of our residential mortgages portfolio was primarily due to the continued origination of preferred jumbo adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) products for investment as well as third party acquisitions of government insured pool buyouts. The increase in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio was mainly as a result of strong production in relation to paydowns in our commercial real estate portfolio, the purchase of our asset based lending business in May of 2015 and continued strong lender finance fundings coupled with the increase in the mortgage warehouse finance balance due to the differences in the interest rate environments in the two periods. In addition, our equipment finance portfolio saw continued strong origination volumes from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016. Our home equity lines and other portfolio increased due to the origination of new home equity lines of credit throughout the second half of 2015 and first quarter of 2016. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our loans held for investment.

The increase in the average balance of our loans held for sale was a result of increased production in both agency and jumbo preferred loans due to the low interest rate environment in the first quarter of 2016 as well as the transfer of certain commercial loans into held for sale that we intend to sell in the secondary market. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our loans held for sale.

The decrease in the average balance of our investments portfolio was primarily driven by continued principal paydowns as well as the sale of certain investment securities during 2015. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for additional information on our investment securities.

Average balances in our interest-bearing liabilities increased by $4.0 billion, or 21%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to increases in the average balance of our deposits of $2.6 billion and an increase in other borrowings of $1.4 billion. The increase in our deposit balances was primarily driven by an increase in time deposits coupled with an increase in our savings and money market accounts. The increase in our average other borrowings balance was due to an increase in long-term advances as well as issuance of subordinated notes during 2015 and a subsequent issuance in the first quarter of 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in short term FHLB advances.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

We assess the allowance for loan and lease losses and make provisions for loan and lease losses as deemed appropriate in order to maintain an appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses. Increases in the allowance for loan and lease losses are achieved through provisions for loan and lease losses that are charged against net interest income. Additional allowance may result from a reduction of the net present value (NPV) of our acquired credit impaired (ACI) loans in instances where we have a decrease in our cash flow expectations.

The following tables provide a breakdown of the provision for loan and lease losses based on the method for determining the allowance at three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

First Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2015

We recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, which is an decrease of $0.1 million from $9.0 million in the same period in 2015. Although overall provision remained consistent between the two periods, the residential mortgage and commercial and commercial real estate portfolios experienced offsetting provision changes during the periods compared. The provision for ACI residential mortgage loans increased $1.9 million, or 91%, in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015 as expectations of future cash flows resulted in only modest releases of prior period valuation allowances. Commercial and commercial real estate provision, however, experienced a decline in provision expense over the same period of $2.0 million, or 52%, as the provision for non-ACI loans, both specifically and collectively evaluated, declined, while the provision for ACI loans increased. The provision for loans specifically reserved declined $1.2 million, or 58%, as the net recorded investment for loans impaired due to concerns regarding collectability is currently supportable by the fair value of the collateral. Similarly, the provision for loans collectively evaluated for commercial and commercial real estate declined $2.4 million, or 69%, as first quarter of 2015 included a provision related to the downgrade of several loans that were eventually impaired. These declines were partially offset by a decrease in the amount of the release of provision for ACI commercial and commercial real estate loans for first quarter of 2016 of $1.5 million, or 99%, when compared to first quarter of 2015 as expectations of future cash flows resulted in only modest releases of prior period valuation allowances. Net charge-offs on the loans held for investment portfolio were $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $7.0 million in the same period in 2015. The net charge-off ratio was 0.07% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 0.16% in the same period in 2015.

For further discussion of changes in our allowance for loan and lease losses as well as key credit metrics including delinquency profiles, please see the "Loan and Lease Quality" section for information on net charge-offs, non-performing assets, and other factors considered by management in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing our allowance for loan and lease losses.

First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015

Noninterest income decreased by $2.8 million, or 9%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by a reduction in gain on sale of loans and other noninterest income partially offset by an increase in net loan servicing income.

Gain on sale of loans decreased by $13.9 million, or 33%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in sales of our re-performing Ginnie Mae (GNMA) loans and a decline in funding volume in 2016 compared to 2015. These decreases were partially offset by gain on sale related to commercial loan sales in the first quarter of 2016 of $6.5 million. During the first quarter of 2016 we sold $7.3 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of GNMA re-performing loans compared to $103.7 million in UPB during the first quarter of 2015, which led to a decrease in gain on sale of $7.4 million. Agency loan origination volume declined $171.2 million to $872.3 million, or 49%, of total origination volume for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $1.0 billion, or 44%, of total origination volume in the same period in 2015. Preferred fixed rate jumbo originations declined $151.1 million from $350.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $199.7 million in the same period of 2016, which contributed to the decrease in gain on sale.

Net loan servicing income increased by $15.7 million, or 53%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance associated with the fair market value of our MSR. MSR impairment of $22.5 million and $43.4 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impairment of MSR results from differences in expected prepayment rates due to differences in the interest rate environment at March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. Our MSR UPB was lower in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 as a result of the sale of $5.5 billion in UPB of servicing rights to Ditech Financial LLC (Ditech) effective May 1, 2015 and and the sale of $3.3 billion in UPB of MSR to Nationstar Mortgage LLC (NSM) effective November 2, 2015 and normal runoff, which also impacted the amount of impairment recognized during the period. See "Analysis of Statement of Condition" for additional discussion of the changes in valuation allowance associated with our MSR. In addition, the amortization of MSR decreased by $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the MSR sales mentioned above. These decreases were partially offset by a $10.7 million, or 31%, decrease in loan servicing fee income in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the sales noted above.

Other noninterest income decreased by $3.8 million, or 64%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in income related to prepayment fees on certain serviced commercial loans acquired in the Business Property Lending, Inc. (BPL) acquisition.

First Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2015

Noninterest expense decreased by $6.6 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in noninterest expense was driven by decreases in salaries, commissions and other employee benefits expense and general and administrative expense which was partially offset by increases in equipment and occupancy expense.

Salaries, commissions and employee benefits decreased by $0.3 million, or less than 1%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to lower headcount in our consumer banking business as a result of our sale of servicing rights in May 2015 to Ditech as well as lower production volumes. The decrease is partially offset by an increase in headcount in our commercial banking business and corporate services as a result of growth in our commercial portfolio and compliance initiatives.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $0.3 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a personal property tax reserve release during the first quarter of 2015, which was partially offset by a decline in the space and equipment needed to support our employees given the reduction in full time employees as a result of our MSR sales during 2015.

General and administrative expense decreased by $6.5 million, or 16%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to decreases in legal and professional fees, advertising and marketing expense, subservicing expense and consent order expense partially offset by increases in credit-related expenses, and FDIC premium assessment and other agency fees.

Legal and professional fees decreased by $0.9 million, or 16%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher legal costs in 2015 related to activities to grow our balance sheet.

Credit-related expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 82%, primarily due to an increase in our reserve for nonrecoverable advances related to our government-insured loans.

FDIC premium assessment and other agency fees increased by $0.8 million, or 13%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to continued growth in our balance sheet.

Advertising and marketing expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 26%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to targeted marketing aimed at deposit gathering initiatives as a result of the asset growth and third party acquisition opportunities that we realized in 2015.

Subservicing expenses decreased by $3.8 million, or 100%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to the execution of the subservicing agreement with Ditech in May 2014, which was in place through May 1, 2015. As a result, expenses were incurred for the first quarter of 2015 compared to none in 2016.

Consent order expense decreased by $3.1 million, or 112%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to lower third party costs and remediation accruals as we settled our consent order with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in early January 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

Segment Results

We evaluate our overall financial performance through three financial reporting segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Corporate Services. To generate financial information by operating segment, we use an internal profitability reporting system which is based on a series of management estimates and allocations. We continually review and refine many of these estimates and allocations, several of which are subjective in nature. Any changes we make to estimates and allocations that may affect the reported results of any business segment do not affect our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

We use funds transfer pricing in the calculation of each respective operating segment’s net interest income to measure the value of funds used in and provided by an operating segment. The difference between the interest income on earning assets and the interest expense on funding liabilities and the corresponding funds transfer pricing charge for interest income or credit for interest expense results in net interest income. We allocate risk-adjusted capital to our segments based upon the credit, liquidity, operating and interest rate risk inherent in the segment’s asset and liability composition and operations. These capital allocations are determined based upon formulas that incorporate regulatory, GAAP and economic capital frameworks including risk-weighting assets, allocating noninterest expense and incorporating economic liquidity premiums for assets deemed by management to lower liquidity profiles.

The following table summarizes segment earnings and total assets for each of our segments as of and for each of the periods shown:

income.

Net interest income increased by $12.9 million, or 15%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to an increase in interest income of $30.0 million, or 21%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $17.2 million, or 31%, in the first quarter of 2016. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates.

Noninterest income decreased by $6.4 million, or 29%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $20.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 partially offset by an increase in net loan servicing income of $15.6 million. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" and "Analysis of Statements of Condition" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.

Noninterest expense decreased by $10.5 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to decreases in salaries, commissions and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expense and general and administrative expense. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.

First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015

Commercial Banking segment earnings increased by $8.7 million, or 18%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased by $8.2 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due mainly to higher average balances experienced in the three major categories of our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio as well as an increase in equipment financing receivables. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for an explanation of changes in average balances and yields/rates. In addition, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased 16% as a result of changes in the provision for loan and leases losses and allowance for loan and leases losses. Please see "Loan and Lease Quality" for an explanation and rollforward of changes in the ALLL.

Noninterest income increased by $3.7 million, or 35%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of loans partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income due to a decrease of $3.6 million in prepayment fee income related to our servicing of certain commercial loans. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for a further explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.

Noninterest expense increased by $5.2 million, or 19%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions and other employee expense, equipment and occupancy expenses and general and administrative expense. These increases were largely due to increases in salaries and commissions due to an increase in headcount from 334 at March 31, 2015 to 378 at March 31, 2016. In addition, our general and administrative expense increased by $1.4 million primarily due to an increase in inter-segment allocations due to the increase in headcount and overall asset growth within the segment. In addition, FDIC fees allocated to our Commercial Banking segment increased by $0.7 million due to the increase in our commercial assets. Please see "Analysis of Statements of Income" for a further explanation of the changes in the activity related to these items.

Corporate Services segment loss increased by $1.5 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in net interest loss partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense.

Net interest loss increased by $2.8 million, or 177%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the subordinated notes issued in both the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

Noninterest expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a decrease in other general and administrative expense.

General and administrative expense decreased $1.8 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to a decrease in the amount of advertising and marketing expense. Advertising and marketing expense is directly allocated to the segments and thus the decrease in advertising and marketing had a direct effect on the amount of inter-segment allocations. Inter-segment allocations decreased by $0.7 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Analysis of Statements of Condition

Investment Securities

Our overall investment strategy focuses on acquiring investment-grade senior mortgage-backed securities backed by seasoned loans with high credit quality and credit enhancements to generate earnings in the form of interest and dividends while offering liquidity, credit and interest rate risk management opportunities to support our asset and liability management strategy. Within our investment strategy, we also utilize highly rated structured products including Re-securitized Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (Re-REMICs) for the added protection from credit losses and ratings deteriorations that accompany alternative securities. All securities investments satisfy our internal guidelines for credit profile and generally have a relatively short duration which helps mitigate interest rate risk arising from changes in market interest rates.

Available for sale securities are used as part of our asset and liability management strategy and may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, factors such as changes in market conditions and interest rates, changes in security prepayment rates, liquidity considerations and regulatory capital requirements.

Residential — Nonagency

At March 31, 2016, our residential nonagency portfolio consisted entirely of investments in residential nonagency CMO securities. Investments in residential nonagency CMO securities totaled $503.1 million, or 83%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential nonagency CMO securities decreased to $503.1 million at March 31, 2016 from $553.3 million at December 31, 2015, or 9%, primarily due to reductions in amortized cost resulting from principal payments received of $47.4 million.

Our residential nonagency CMO securities are secured by seasoned first-lien fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans backed by loan originators other than government sponsored entities (GSEs). Mortgage collateral is structured into a series of classes known as tranches, each of which contains a different maturity profile and pay-down priority in order to suit investor demands for duration, yield, credit risk and prepayment volatility. We have primarily invested in CMO securities rated in the highest category assigned by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization. Many of these securities are Re-REMICs, which adds credit subordination to provide protection against future losses and rating downgrades. Re-REMICs constituted $213.9 million, or 43%, of our residential nonagency CMO investment securities at March 31, 2016.

We have internal guidelines for the credit quality and duration of our residential nonagency CMO securities portfolio and monitor these on a regular basis. At March 31, 2016, the portfolio carried a weighted average Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), score of 729, a weighted average amortized loan-to-value ratio (LTV), of 56%, and was seasoned an average of 136 months. This portfolio includes protection against credit losses through subordination in the securities structures and borrower equity.

Other investments is comprised of residential agency CMO securities, residential agency MBS, and equity securities.

Residential — Agency

At March 31, 2016, our residential agency portfolio consisted of both residential agency CMO securities and residential agency MBS securities. Investments in residential agency CMO securities totaled $11.4 million, or 2%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential agency MBS portfolio totaled $90.1 million, or 15%, of our investment securities portfolio. Our residential agency portfolio is secured by seasoned first-lien fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans insured by GSEs.

Our residential agency CMO securities decreased by $1.7 million, or 13%, to $11.4 million at March 31, 2016 from $13.1 million at December 31, 2015 primarily due to reductions to amortized cost resulting from principal payments received and the amortization of premiums and discounts. Our residential agency MBS securities decreased by $0.7 million, or 1%, to $90.1 million at March 31, 2016, from $90.8 million at December 31, 2015 primarily due to reductions to amortized cost resulting from principal payments received and the amortization of premiums and discounts.

Loans Held for Sale

We typically transfer originated or acquired residential mortgage loans to various financial institutions, government agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises. In addition, we enter into loan securitization transactions related to certain conforming residential mortgage loans. In connection with the conforming loan transactions, loans are converted into mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Fannie Mae (FNMA) or GNMA, and are subsequently sold to third party investors. Typically, we account for these transfers as sales and retain the right to service the loans. For non-conforming transactions, we sell whole loans outright to qualified institutional buyers and typically retain the related servicing rights.

The following table presents the balance of each major category in our loans held for sale portfolio at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Mortgage Warehouse

At March 31, 2016, our mortgage warehouse loans totaled $670.7 million, or 59%, of our total loans held for sale portfolio. Our mortgage warehouse loans are largely comprised of agency deliverable products that we typically sell within three months subsequent to origination. We economically hedge our mortgage warehouse portfolio with forward purchase and sales commitments designed to protect against potential changes in fair value. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on our balance sheet, we have elected fair value accounting on this portfolio of loans due to the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. Mortgage warehouse loans increased by $46.0 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2015 due to an increase in originations of agency loans which outpaced agency loan sales during the first quarter of 2016.

The following table represents the length of time the mortgage warehouse loans have been classified as held for sale:



Mortgage Warehouse			Table 19

Greater than 90 days	119,770		24,820
Total mortgage warehouse	$	670,739	$	624,726

Subsequent to March 31, 2016, we sold $8.6 million of the mortgage warehouse loans classified as held for sale that were held for more than 90 days. The remaining $111.2 million of warehouse loans held for more than 90 days were made up of mostly conforming or government products and were current at March 31, 2016.

Other Residential Loans Carried at Fair Value

At March 31, 2016, our other residential loans carried at fair value totaled $351.2 million, or 31%, of our total loans held for sale portfolio. Other residential loans are comprised of our originated fixed rate jumbo preferred loans that we sell to institutional investors. Due to the short duration that these loans are present on our balance sheet, we have elected fair value accounting on this portfolio of loans. Electing to use fair value allows a better offset of the changes in the fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. Other residential loans carried at fair value decreased by $331.8 million, or 49%, from $683.0 million at December 31, 2015, due to sales of loans with a recorded investment of $499.4 million, payoffs of $19.5 million, transfers to held for investment of $26.2 million, offset by originations of $202.2 million. The remaining change in balance represents the changes in the fair value of the loans while present on our balance sheet.

The following table represents the length of time our other residential loans carried at fair value have been classified as held for sale:

Other Residential Loans Carried at Lower of Cost or Market Value (LOCOM)

Our other residential loans carried at LOCOM decreased by $20.7 million, or 91%, from $22.8 million at December 31, 2015 to $2.1 million at March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we transferred $425.2 million and $496.4 million of government insured pool buyout loans and other residential mortgages, respectively, from loans held for investment to loans held for sale and had payoffs of $17.6 million. Of those government insured pool buyout loans transferred to loans held for sale, we transferred and subsequently sold $7.3 million of conforming mortgages to GNMA in exchange for mortgage-backed securities and sold loans of $417.7 million to third parties through whole loan sales. Of our other residential mortgages transferred to held for sale we sold loans of $508.9 million to third parties through whole loan sales.

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate

Our commercial and commercial real estate loans totaled $113.7 million, or 10%, of our total loans held for sale at March 31, 2016, which was a decrease of $65.1 million, or 36%, from December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we transferred $28.8 million of loans from held for sale to held for investment, transferred $170.4 million of loans held for investment to held for sale and sold $206.0 million of other commercial and commercial real estate loans to third party investors.

Residential Mortgage Loans

At March 31, 2016, our residential mortgage loans totaled $7.3 billion, or 32%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. We primarily offer our customers residential closed-end mortgage loans typically secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties.

Residential mortgage loans decreased by $247.4 million, or 3%, to $7.3 billion at March 31, 2016 from $7.5 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease was due primarily to transfers of $496.4 million in UPB of loans from loans held for investment (LHFI) to loans held for sale (LHFS) as well as paydowns and payoffs of existing loans of $368.4 million, partially offset by retained originations of $541.5 million, acquisitions of $56.5 million and loans transferred from LHFS to LHFI of $26.2 million in UPB during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Government Insured Buyouts

At March 31, 2016, our government insured buyout loan portfolio totaled $4.4 billion, or 19%, of our total loans and leases held for investment portfolio. Government insured pool buyouts increased by $180.7 million, or 4%, to $4.4 billion at March 31, 2016 from $4.2 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of mortgage pool buyout purchases with a UPB of $996.0 million partially offset by $425.2 million of loans being transferred from loans LHFI to LHFS, $312.8 million of delinquent loans reaching foreclosure, and the product of paydowns and payoffs of existing loans.

Government insured pool buyouts consist of loans that are insured or guaranteed by one of several federal government agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) or the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service. The loans must at all times comply with the requirements for maintaining such insurance or guarantee. Prior to our acquisitions of government insured pool buyout loans from third party servicers starting in 2014, we serviced a majority of the government insured pool buyout loans we owned. With the successful sale and transfer of our default servicing platform to Ditech in 2014 and subsequent sale of our Federal Housing Administration (FHA) servicing in May 2015, a majority of our government insured pool buyout loans are now serviced by third party servicers. Prior to our acquisition of these loans, we perform due diligence to ensure a valid guarantee is in place; therefore we believe that a negligible amount of principal is at risk.

Table of Contents

Under these government programs, servicing operations must comply with the government agencies' servicing requirements in order to avoid interest curtailments (principal is not at risk). As a result, operational capacity poses a risk to the potential claim payment through missed servicing milestones. Therefore, before we contract a third party to service a portion of our government insured buyout portfolio, we perform due diligence to ensure the servicer is (1) an approved servicer of mortgage loans for the various GSEs and other government agencies, (2) properly licensed and qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such licensing and qualification is necessary, (3) an approved servicer for any nationally recognized insurer providing mortgage insurance on the loans being serviced, and (4) qualified to act as servicer, and we confirm that no event has occurred which would make the third party unable to comply with all such eligibility requirements or would require notification to the GSEs or other government agencies. A minority of our servicing contracts include language which requires us to bear the risk of loss associated with advances that are not eligible for reimbursement by the FHA.

At March 31, 2016, all of the government insured pool buyout purchases noted above represent acquisitions from third parties. For these acquired loans, we initially record the assets at the acquisition price which includes attribution of the purchase price to accrued interest, UPB and discount or premium. Given that these assets have experienced credit deterioration since origination and we don't expect to receive all contractual principal and interest payments, we have determined that they are ACI loans and account for these as a pool. As a result of this distinction, interest income is recorded based on the accretion rate which is the implied effective interest rate based on the expected cash flows of the pool and the net recorded investment in the pool. Included in the estimated cash flows are the timing of foreclosure and the timing and proceeds from sales of these loans. Any increase in expected and/or excess of cash flows received is taken as an adjustment to the prospective yield assuming there has not been a previous impairment of the pool. This type of structure impacts net interest income while having an immaterial impact to gain on sale revenue. Noninterest expense does not include the fixed and variable costs of the day to day servicing of these defaulted assets.

Duration is a potential risk of holding these loans and exposes us to interest rate risk and the risk of a funding mismatch. In most cases, acquired loans are greater than 89 days past due upon purchase. Loans can re-perform on their own or through loss mitigation and/or modification. Most loans are 20 to 30 year fixed rate instruments. Re-performing loans earn a higher yield as they can earn an above market note rate rather than a government guaranteed reimbursement rate, which will result in an increase in expected cash flows and the prospective yield of the related pool or pools. In order to mitigate the duration risk on re-performing loans, EverBank has the ability to sell those loans into the secondary market. Loans that go through foreclosure have an expected duration of one to three years, depending on the state’s servicing timelines. Bankruptcy proceedings and loss mitigation requirements could extend the duration of these loans. Extensions for these reasons do not impact the insurance or guarantee and are modeled into the acquisition price.

Mortgage Warehouse Finance

At March 31, 2016, our mortgage warehouse finance portfolio totaled $2.6 billion, or 11%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Our mortgage warehouse finance business provides short-term revolving facilities, primarily collateralized by agency and government residential loans, to mid-sized, high-quality mortgage banking companies across the country.

Mortgage warehouse finance increased by $230.4 million, or 10%, to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2016 from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2015. This change was primarily due to increased utilization by existing customers of $144.5 million, as well as origination activity of $85.9 million. Due both to the short-term, revolving nature of these lines, which generally turn over at least every 90 days, and our customer's focus on residential financing, fluctuations in utilization rates noted between periods are generally driven by strengthening or weakening in residential mortgage demand as well as our ability to encourage customers to choose our lines over other potential funding options.

Lender Finance

At March 31, 2016, our lender finance portfolio totaled $1.3 billion, or 6%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Our lender finance business provides revolving lines of credit and term loans secured by equipment and receivables primarily to specialty finance companies on a national basis. These specialty finance companies are distributed among multiple sectors including healthcare, air, rail, container, middle market lender, equipment leasing and specialty lending sectors.

Our lender finance portfolio increased by $19.8 million, or 2%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2016 from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to new origination activity of $55.2 million, which was partially offset by decreases in utilization by existing customers of $35.6 million. Due both to the short-term, revolving nature of these lines and the diversified operations of our customers within multiple sectors, fluctuations in utilization rates noted between periods are generally driven by changes in the need for specialty financing as impacted by overall economic developments within the U.S. economy as well as our ability to encourage customers to choose our lines over other potential funding options.

Other Commercial and Commercial Real Estate

At March 31, 2016, our other commercial and commercial real estate portfolio totaled $3.9 billion, or 17%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio. Other commercial and commercial real estate business consists of asset-based lending, owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and commercial investment properties.

Other commercial and commercial real estate decreased by $70.7 million, or 2%, to $3.9 billion at March 31, 2016 from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2015. This change was primarily due to paydowns of $142.7 million, net transfers to loans held for sale of $141.7 million, declining utilization by asset-based lending customers of $14.1 million partially offset by originations of $149.5 million and acquisitions of $74.4 million.

Equipment Financing Receivables

Equipment financing receivables decreased by $0.3 million, or less than 1%, to $2.4 billion, or 11%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio at March 31, 2016 from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease was the result of paydowns on existing loan and lease receivables of $244.4 million and $72.2 million of loans transferred from LHFI to LHFS, partially offset by originations of $299.8 million and earned income of $31.1 million. Our equipment finance portfolio generally consists of short-term and medium-term leases and loans secured by essential use office product, healthcare, industrial, trucking and information technology equipment to small and mid-size lessees and borrowers.

Home Equity Lines and Other

At March 31, 2016, our home equity lines and other consumer loans totaled $917.9 million, or 4%, of our total held for investment loan and lease portfolio, an increase of $416.1 million, or 83%, from $501.8 million at December 31, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of

Table of Contents

acquisitions with a net recorded investment of $256.9 million and originations of $183.6 million partially offset by paydowns on our existing lines of credit. Our other consumer loans include direct personal loans, credit card loans and lines of credit, automobile and other loans to our clients which are generally secured by personal property. Lines of credit are generally floating rate loans that are unsecured or secured by personal property.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The following table presents the change in our MSR portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Increase in valuation allowance	22,542			43,352
Balance, end of period	$	34,320		$	43,352

We carry MSR at amortized cost net of any required valuation allowance. We amortize MSR in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and evaluate MSR quarterly for impairment.

Originated servicing rights increased by $2.5 million, or 20%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage loans sold during the period of $0.9 billion. Mortgage origination volumes and sales volumes are impacted by volatility in the current interest rate environment.

Amortization expense decreased by $5.6 million, or 27%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the reduction in UPB of our servicing portfolio through loans sales and paydowns on the existing servicing portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2016 we recorded impairment of $22.5 million primarily due to declining interest rates resulting in higher expected prepayments in the near term. Therefore amortization expense was accelerated and a valuation allowance was recorded. The BMR decreased 25 basis points from 3.90% at December 31, 2015 to 3.65% at March 31, 2016. This impairment increased the valuation allowance to $34.3 million at March 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2015 we recorded a valuation allowance of $43.4 million due to the low BMR experienced during the period and certain bid information received during the first quarter of 2015 relating to the sales of MSR to Ditech and NSM during the second and third quarters of 2015. We recorded a valuation allowance specific to these sales of $26.8 million, which increased the valuation allowance to $43.4 million at March 31, 2015.

Other assets decreased by $22.5 million, or 2%, to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2016 from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease was driven primarily by decreases in income taxes receivable, foreclosure claims receivable, corporate advances, accrued interest receivable, equipment under operating leases and margin receivable which were partially offset by increases in the fair value of derivatives and other real estate owned.

Foreclosure claims receivable decreased by $11.0 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to claims received on receivables from the loans that were sold to Nationstar in the third and fourth quarters of 2015, which was partially offset by continued purchases of government insured residential mortgage loans where the loans are already in foreclosure.

Accrued interest receivable decreased by $2.4 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the accrued interest receivable for government insured pool buyouts.

Income taxes receivable decreased by $19.6 million, or 28%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The decrease was due to approximately $20.0 million in current income tax expense for the first quarter of 2016 which was partially offset by extension payments of $0.5 million that were made during the first quarter.

Equipment under operating leases decreased by $1.9 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to an overall decline in the the operating leases.

Net margin receivable decreased by $1.5 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. Our margin receivable is utilized in offsetting derivative liability positions in the balance sheet. The decrease in margin receivable was primarily the result of a decline in the fair values of derivative instruments resulting in a greater liability position on the balance sheet before netting. This increased liability position resulted in greater consumption of the margin receivable when netting against the related positions and an overall decline in net margin receivable. See Note 12 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to our netting and cash collateral adjustments.

Other real estate owned increased by $6.3 million, or 37%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to $9.1 million of additional OREO that was acquired through foreclosure which was partially offset by the sale of OREO of $2.3 million.

Fair value of derivatives increased $13.2 million from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to derivatives associated with our foreign currency exchange products and interest rate lock commitments. For further information on this increase see the schedule of derivative fair values at Note 12 .

Corporate advances decreased by $6.9 million, or 24%, from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of funds from the sale of MSR and related advances to Ditech and Nationstar during 2015.

Deferred Tax Liability

Net deferred tax liability decreased by $22.9 million, or 26%, from $86.4 million at December 31, 2015 to $63.5 million at March 31, 2016, primarily due to the tax effect of other comprehensive income adjustments related to interest rate swaps and mark-to-market adjustments.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $32.8 million, or 51%, to a loss of $96.8 million at March 31, 2016, from a loss of $64.0 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to net unrealized losses as a result of changes in fair value related to our interest rate swaps and debt securities partially offset by the reclassifications of unrealized losses during the period into income and the associated tax effect.

Loan and Lease Quality

We use a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our portfolio of loans and leases. Our underwriting policies and practices govern the risk profile, credit and geographic concentration for our loan and lease portfolios. We also have a comprehensive methodology to monitor these credit quality standards, including a risk classification system that identifies potential problem loans based on risk characteristics by loan type as well as the early identification of deterioration at the individual loan level. In addition to our ALLL, we have additional protections against potential credit losses, including credit indemnification agreements, purchase discounts on acquired loans and leases and other credit-related reserves, such as those on unfunded commitments.

Discounts on Acquired Loans and Lease Financing Receivables

For acquired credit-impaired, or ACI, loans accounted for under accounting standards codification (ASC) 310-30, we periodically reassess cash flow expectations at a pool or loan level. In the case of improving cash flow expectations for a particular loan or pool of loans, we reclassify an amount of non-accretable difference as accretable yield, thus increasing the prospective yield of the pool. In the case of deteriorating cash flow expectations, we record a provision for loan or lease losses following the allowance for loan loss framework. For more information on ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, see Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents a bridge from UPB, or contractual net investment, to carrying value for ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

In our residential ACI portfolio, a reduction in the impairment reserve of $0.2 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Within this portfolio, we reclassified $4.2 million from accretable yield due to a reduction in undiscounted expected cash flows of our government insured buyout portfolio. This reduction was primarily a result of changes in our expectation of loan modifications and liquidation timing as a result of a changing interest rate environment. This change in assumptions drove a reduction in the expected cash flows but, as a result of the decreased duration, the weighted average yield on the portfolio increased.

In our commercial and commercial real estate ACI portfolio, an immaterial reduction in the impairment reserve was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Within this portfolio, we also reclassified $1.6 million from accretable yield due to a reduction in undiscounted expected cash flows.

Problem Loans and Leases

Loans and leases are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual, which is generally when the loan becomes 90 days past due as defined by the OCC, with the exception of government insured loans and ACI loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from interest income, and both the accrual of interest income and the amortization of unamortized deferred fees, costs, discounts and premiums are suspended. Concurrent with the placing of a loan on nonaccrual status, an assessment must be performed, considering both the creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of any collateral underlying the loan, to determine whether doubt exists about the collectability of the recorded investment in the loan. If collectability of the recorded investment in the loan is in doubt, any payments received subsequent to placing the loan on nonaccrual status are applied using the cost recovery method reducing the recorded investment to the extent necessary to eliminate such doubt. Once it can be determined that no doubt exists regarding the collectability of the recorded investment in the loan, subsequent interest payments may be recorded as interest income on a cash basis.

For purposes of disclosure in the table below, we exclude government insured pool buyout loans from our definition of non-performing loans and leases. We also exclude ACI loans from non-performing status because we expect to fully collect their new carrying value which reflects purchase discounts. If we are unable to reasonably estimate future cash flows, these loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income will not be recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.

Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until sold, and is carried at the balance of the loan at the time of foreclosure or at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, whichever is less. For purposes of disclosure in the table below, we exclude OREO acquired as a result of foreclosing on loans originated under the Federal Housing Administration insured home equity conversion mortgage program as we expect to fully collect the value of the OREO.

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Loans restructured with both terms and a rate that are commensurate with a new loan of comparable risk at the time the contract is modified are not considered to be impaired loans in calendar years subsequent to the restructuring.

The following table sets forth the composition of our non-performing assets (NPA) including nonaccrual, accruing loans and leases past due 90 or more days, TDR and OREO, as of the dates indicated. The balances of NPA reflect the net investment in such assets including deductions for purchase discounts.

(1)	We define NPA as nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed property. Our NPA calculation excludes government insured pool buyout loans for which payment is insured by the government. We also exclude ACI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 because we expect to fully collect the carrying value of such loans.

Total NPA and TDR decreased by $0.3 million, or less than 1%, to $158.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $158.6 million at December 31, 2015. This decrease was comprised of a reduction of $3.2 million in OREO and a reduction in TDRs less than 90 days past due of $0.6 million, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in nonaccrual loans and leases. The decrease in OREO and TDRs greater than 90 days past due was the product of property liquidations, paydowns and payoffs outpacing additions to the inventory during the quarter. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily attributable to increases of $9.3 million, or 53%, in equipment financing receivables nonaccrual loans and leases and $2.9 million, or 87%, in nonaccrual home equity lines, partially offset by decreases of $5.0 million, or 7%, in commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans and $3.6 million, or 11%, in residential nonaccrual loans. The noted increase in nonaccrual equipment financing receivables was primarily the result of the impairment of one relationship with a net recorded investment of $9.0 million due to concern regarding the collectability of contractual amounts due under the agreement. The noted increase in nonaccrual home equity lines was due to the acquisition of a pool of home equity loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 of which a small population represented loans on nonaccrual status. The noted decrease in commercial and commercial real estate and residential nonaccrual loans was primarily the result of paydowns and payoffs on nonaccrual loans outpacing additions for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Total regulatory NPA and TDR increased by $55.2 million, or 2%, to $3.4 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in total regulatory NPA and TDR was primarily driven by an increase of $55.8 million, or 2%, in government insured loans 90 days or more past due still accruing which is reflective of the increase in government insured pool buyouts in our loans held for investment portfolio.

We use an asset risk classification system in compliance with guidelines established by the OCC Handbook as part of our efforts to monitor asset quality. In connection with examinations of insured institutions, examiners have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful,” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. Commercial loans with adverse classifications are reviewed by the commercial credit committee of our executive credit committee monthly.

Table of Contents

In addition to the problem loans described above, as of March 31, 2016, we had special mention loans and leases totaling $81.8 million, or 0.3% of the total loan portfolio, which are not included in either the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan and lease categories but which, in our opinion, were subjected to potential future rating downgrades. Special mention loans exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends that may result in future rating downgrades, but no loss of principal or interest is expected at this time. Special mention loans and leases increased by $43.0 million, or 111%, to $81.8 million at March 31, 2016, from $38.8 million at December 31, 2015. This increase in special mention loans and leases was primarily comprised of a $42.8 million increase in special mention commercial and commercial real estate, which was driven primarily by the downgrade of several relationships due to concerns regarding the borrower's ability to continue to service the debt due to potential vacancies on our borrower's properties going forward.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, $1.9 million of interest income would have been recognized in accordance with contractual terms had nonaccrual loans and TDRs been current. For these loans, $0.3 million was included in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $3.6 million, down $3.4 million, or 49%, over the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net charge-offs is primarily the result of a decrease in net charge-offs associated with our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio.

The tables below sets forth the calculation of the ALLL based on the method for determining the allowance.

The recorded investment in loans and leases held for investment, excluding ACI loans, increased by $0.3 billion, or 2%, to $19.0 billion at March 31, 2016 from $18.7 billion at December 31, 2015. The growth is primarily attributable to new originations and strategic acquisitions of residential mortgages and commercial and commercial real estate partially offset by transfers of loans and leases to held for sale.

Residential

The recorded investment in residential mortgages, excluding ACI loans, decreased by $0.3 billion, or 3%, to $8.0 billion at March 31, 2016, from $8.3 billion at December 31, 2015. The ALLL for residential mortgages, excluding ACI loans, increased by $1.5 million, or 8%, to $21.5 million at March 31, 2016, from $19.9 million at December 31, 2015. Charge-off activity for residential mortgages was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Loan performance and historical loss rates are analyzed using the prior 12 months delinquency rates and actual charge-offs.

ACI loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and accrue income over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Under the accounting guidance, expected losses are a component of the expected cash flow analysis performed with no allowance necessary at the time of acquisition. An allowance is recorded when the present value of future expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the pool decreases after the acquisition date such that the book value of the pool is considered impaired. As of March 31, 2016, $6.9 million of allowance exists for our residential ACI portfolio as it has been performing as expected. Non-ACI loans are also recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and only credit losses subsequent to acquisition are included in the allowance for loan losses. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date. Although we structure all of our loan sales as non-recourse, the underlying sales agreements require us to make certain market standard representations and warranties at the time of sale, which may require under certain circumstances for us to repurchase a loan that does not meet these representations and warranties. Repurchased loans are acquired at fair value and when delinquent are recorded at collateral value with no associated allowance. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date.

The table below presents our residential mortgage portfolio, excluding government insured loans, by origination/vintage year and by product type. The table further segregates our portfolio between loans that were originated by EB and those that were acquired. The differentiation between acquired loans and originated loans is due to the difference in the accounting guidance applicable to each of these pools of loans when it comes to the recording of our allowance for loan and lease losses. For acquired or repurchased loans, the origination year is based on the loan's origination date.

Due to recent economic conditions, our capacity for balance sheet growth and the historical credit quality of our originated jumbo loans, we have retained a significant portion of the preferred jumbo ARM products that we have originated since 2010. Our sales team targets borrowers with high FICO scores and our underwriting standards require low LTV ratios. The result of these underwriting practices is a portfolio with high credit quality and LTV ratios that provide greater collateral coverage for potential losses. As of March 31, 2016, the $6.0 billion in residential loans originated on or after January 1, 2010 and retained in loans held for investment had a weighted average original LTV of 65% and a weighted average original FICO score of 763. Of those originated residential loans, $5.1 million were greater than 30 days past due and $1.7 million were on non-accrual status at March 31, 2016.

as ACI loan acquisitions. Loans that go through foreclosure generally have an expected duration of one to three years, depending on the state’s servicing timelines, which may vary widely based on state foreclosure laws. Allowance related to these government insured loans is low as payment of a majority of the principal, interest and servicer advances related to these loans is insured by the various government agencies.

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate

The recorded investment for commercial and commercial real estate loans, excluding ACI loans, increased by $0.2 billion, or 3%, to $7.7 billion at March 31, 2016, from $7.5 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the organic growth in our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The ALLL for commercial and commercial real estate loans, excluding ACI loans, increased by 6%, to $36.5 million at March 31, 2016, from $34.5 million at December 31, 2015. The ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment for commercial and commercial real estate, excluding ACI loans, remained consistent at 0.5% as of March 31, 2016 compared with 0.5% at December 31, 2015. The consistency in coverage ratio is reflective of continued diligence ensuring that newly originated loans continue to adhere to our high underwriting standards.

For commercial and commercial real estate loans, the most significant historical loss factors include credit quality and charge-off activity. The loss factors used in our allowance calculation have remained consistent over the periods presented. Charge-off activity is analyzed using a 15 quarter time period to determine loss rates consistent with loan segments used in recording the allowance estimate. During periods of more consistent and stable performance, this 15 quarter period is considered the most relevant starting point for analyzing the reserve. During periods of significant volatility and severe loss experience, a shortened time period may be used which is more reflective of expected future losses. At March 31, 2016, one segment included in commercial and commercial real estate loans used a shortened historical loss period of 12 quarters compared to one segment having used 11 at December 31, 2015. Charge-off activity for commercial and commercial real estate was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Loan delinquency is one of the leading indicators of credit quality. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, less than 0.1% of the recorded investment in commercial and commercial real estate, excluding ACI loans, was past due.

Acquired credit impaired loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and accrue income over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Under the accounting guidance, expected losses are a component of the expected cash flow analysis performed with no allowance necessary at the time of acquisition. An allowance is recorded when the present value of future expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the pool decreases after the acquisition date such that the book value of the pool is considered impaired. As of March 31, 2016 our commercial ACI portfolio had an allowance of $0.3 million or 0.35% of the recorded investment in commercial ACI loans. Non-ACI loans are also recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and only credit losses subsequent to acquisition are included in the allowance for loan losses. As such, these loans carry an allowance that is smaller than what the inherent credit losses are at the acquisition date. A majority of the $1.1 billion in non-credit impaired, acquired loans were acquired in our acquisition of BPL at fair value with no allowance recorded at acquisition. As additional losses are incurred and modeled, we record the applicable provision and allowance for loan and lease losses.

Table of Contents

The table below presents our commercial and commercial real estate portfolio by origination/vintage year and by product type and further segregates our portfolio between those loans originated or acquired by the Company. The differentiation made between acquired loans and originated loans is due to the difference in the accounting guidance applicable to each of these pools of loans when it comes to the recording of our allowance for loan and lease losses. For acquired loans, the origination year is based on the loans origination date.

(1)	Represents short-term revolving credit facilities, which are underwritten every 364 or 365 days. These loans are considered to be originated by the Company, as these loans were acquired in 2012 and have been subsequently underwritten by the Company.


(2)	Lender finance loans are categorized based on the origination date of the borrower's original credit facility. Due to the unique nature of these loans and the Company's extensive underwriting process, these loans are categorized as originated by the Company.

As of March 31, 2016, the $2.5 billion of commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 had a weighted average LTV of 59%. Of the $6.5 billion of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010, none were greater than 30 days past due and none were on non-accrual status at March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, $29.6 million, or 0.46%, of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 were rated as watch, representing loans that may have exhibited potential signs of credit weakness but remain pass rated due to an expectation that the borrower will be able to stabilize its performance and the potential for future losses is minimized, while $27.8 million or 0.43% of loans were rated as special mention. Special mention loans represent loans that have a pending event that will occur within the next 180 days that could jeopardize loan repayment and possibly lead to a future loss event. The special mention rating is generally viewed as being temporary in nature such that the loan is expected to either be upgraded to a pass rating or downgraded to a substandard rating. A substandard rating represents loans for which the balance is considered at risk as it is not adequately protected by the paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any, leading to the possibility of future losses. As of March 31, 2016, $1.6 million or 0.03% of commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 were rated as substandard. All remaining loans originated by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 were rated as pass.

Our equipment financing business finances essential-use health care, office products, technology, transportation, construction and other types of equipment primarily to small and medium-sized lessees and borrowers with financing terms generally ranging from 36 to 72 months. Allowance related to these loans and leases is low due to the shorter financing terms of these products and the quality of the underlying collateral securing the transaction. Of the $2.4 billion in equipment financing receivables less than 30 days past due as of March 31, 2016, $7.5 million are on nonaccrual status and of the $31.9 million in equipment financing receivables 30-89 days past due as of March 31, 2016, $12.5 million are on nonaccrual status. It is the Company's policy to keep a loan or lease on nonaccrual status until the borrower has demonstrated performance according to the terms of their agreement for a period generally of at least six months.

Loans Subject to Representations and Warranties

We originate residential mortgage loans, primarily first-lien home loans, through our retail, consumer direct and correspondent channels with the intent of selling a substantial majority of them in the secondary mortgage market. We sell and securitize conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans predominantly to GSEs, such as FNMA and FHLMC. We also sell residential mortgage loans that do not meet the criteria for whole loan sales to GSEs (nonconforming mortgage or jumbo loans) to private non-GSE purchasers through whole loan sales and securitizations.

Although we structure all of our loan sales as non-recourse sales, the underlying sale agreements require us to make certain market standard representations and warranties at the time of sale, which may vary from agreement to agreement. Such representations and warranties typically include those made regarding the existence and sufficiency of file documentation, credit information, compliance with underwriting guidelines and the absence of fraud by borrowers or other third parties, such as appraisers, in connection with obtaining the loan. We have exposure to potential loss because, among other things, the representations and warranties we provide purchasers typically survive for the life of the loan.

If it is determined that the loans sold are (1) with respect to the GSEs, in breach of these representations or warranties, or (2) with respect to non-GSE purchasers, in material breach of these representations and warranties, we generally have an obligation to either: (a) repurchase the loan for the UPB, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. Our obligations vary based upon the nature of the repurchase demand and the current status of the mortgage loan.

At the time of repurchase, we determine whether to hold the loan for sale or for investment. If the loan is sellable on the secondary market, we may elect to do so. If the loan is not sellable on the secondary market or if there are other reasons why we would elect to retain the loan, we will service the asset to minimize our losses. This may include, depending on the status of the loan at the time of repurchase, modifying the loan, or foreclosing the loan and subsequent liquidation of the mortgage property.

We also have limited repurchase exposure for early payment defaults (EPD) which are typically triggered if a borrower does not make the first several payments due after the mortgage loan has been sold to an investor. Certain of our private investors have agreed to waive EPD provisions for conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans and certain jumbo loan products. However, we are subject to EPD provisions and prepayment protection provisions on non-conforming jumbo loan products and certain cash sales to GSEs. Total UPB of loans sold subject to EPD protection was $995.5 million at March 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2016, we had 60 active repurchase requests related to loans previously sold or securitized. We have summarized the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 below regarding repurchase requests received, requests successfully defended, and loans that we repurchased or for which we indemnified investors or made investors whole with the corresponding origination years:

(1)	Request rate is calculated as the number of requests received to date, compared to the total number of loans sold for the period.

The most common reasons for loan repurchases and make-whole payments relate to missing documentation, program violation, and claimed misrepresentations related to undisclosed debts, appraisal value and/or stated income. Additionally, we also received requests to repurchase or make whole loans because they did not meet the specified investor guidelines. Repurchase demands relating to EPDs generally surface within six (6) months of selling the loan to an investor. We currently sell certain preferred residential mortgage loans and community reinvestment act loans servicing released. From 2004 through 2009, we also sold loans servicing released, therefore the lack of servicing statistics and status of the loans sold is not known. As such, there is additional uncertainty surrounding the reserves for repurchase obligations for loans sold or securitized related to those vintages.

Along with the contingent obligation associated with representations and warranties noted above, we also have a noncontingent obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the representations and warranties. This noncontingent obligation is recognized at the inception of the guarantee, upon the sale of loans, as a reduction on net gains on loan sales and securitizations. In estimating the fair value of the noncontingent obligation, we estimate the probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in repurchase requests and actual loss severities experienced.

Table of Contents

The following is a rollforward of our reserves for repurchase losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:



Reserves for Repurchase Obligations for Loans Sold or Securitized				Table 35
	Three Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2016			March 31, 2015
Balance, beginning of period	$	4,290		$	25,940
Provision for new sales/securitizations	544			442
Provision (release of provision) for changes in estimate of existing reserves	(668		)	(531		)
Net realized losses on repurchases	(133		)	(266		)
Balance, end of period	$	4,033		$	25,585

The liability for repurchase losses decreased by $21.6 million, or 84%, from $25.6 million as of March 31, 2015 to $4.0 million as of March 31, 2016. The decrease in liability for loans sold or securitized is primarily due to the decreased number of repurchase requests received from investors and an increase in net realized losses and a release of provision due to the settlement of pending repurchase requests over the comparable time period.

Loan Servicing

When we service residential mortgage loans where either FNMA or FHLMC is the owner of the underlying mortgage loan asset, we are subject to potential repurchase risk for: (1) breaches of loan level representations and warranties even though we may not have originated the mortgage loan; and (2) failure to service such loans in accordance with the applicable GSE servicing guide. If a loan purchased or securitized by FNMA or FHLMC is in breach of an origination representation or warranty, such GSE may look to the loan servicer for repurchase. If we are obligated to repurchase a loan from either FNMA or FHLMC, we seek indemnification from the counterparty that sold us the MSR, which presents potential counterparty risk if such party is unable or unwilling to satisfy its indemnification obligations.

Total acquired UPB for counterparties unable or unwilling to satisfy their indemnification obligations subject to repurchase risk was $6.3 billion at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, we were actively servicing $946.0 million of this previously acquired UPB. Since 2013, no new counterparties have been identified that were unwilling or unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations.

The following is a rollforward of our reserves for servicing repurchase losses related to these counterparties for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:



Reserves for Repurchase Obligations for Loans Serviced				Table 36
	Three Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2016			March 31, 2015
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,806		$	2,947
Provision (release of provision) for changes in estimate of existing reserves	(89		)	(173		)
Net realized losses on repurchases	(46		)	(267		)
Balance, end of period	$	1,671		$	2,507

The liability for repurchase losses for loans serviced decreased by $0.8 million, or 33%, from $2.5 million as of March 31, 2015 to $1.7 million as of March 31, 2016. The decrease in liability since March 31, 2015 is primarily due to the run-off of losses for active repurchase requests that were estimated in the prior periods. Along with the run-off of losses, we have seen a reduction in the number of repurchase requests received as we have received no new repurchase requests for loans serviced in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Over the same period we have settled 4 repurchase requests through make-whole payments, loan repurchases and rescinded requests. As of March 31, 2016, we had 11 active repurchase requests for loans being serviced.

Loans in Foreclosure

Losses can arise from certain government agency agreements which limit the agency’s repayment guarantees on foreclosed loans, resulting in certain minimal foreclosure costs being borne by servicers. In particular, government insured loans serviced under GNMA guidelines require servicers to fund any foreclosure claims not otherwise covered by insurance claim funds of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Other than foreclosure-related costs associated with servicing government insured loans, we have not entered into any servicing agreements that require us, as servicer, to cover foreclosure-related costs.

Funding Sources

Deposits obtained from clients are our primary source of funds for use in lending, acquisitions and other business purposes. We generate deposit client relationships through our consumer direct and financial center distribution channels. The consumer direct channel includes: Internet, email, telephone and mobile device access to product and customer support offerings. Our differentiated products, integrated online financial portal and value-added account features deepen our interactions and relationships with our clients resulting in high retention rates. Other funding sources include short-term and long-term borrowings and shareholders’ equity. FHLB borrowings have become an important funding source as we have grown.

Deposits

The following table shows the distribution of our deposits by type of deposit at the dates indicated:



Deposits			Table 37
(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Noninterest-bearing demand	$	1,499,063	$	1,141,357
Interest-bearing demand	3,694,755		3,709,156
Market-based money market accounts	353,742		342,600
Savings and money market accounts, excluding market-based	6,892,789		6,338,685
Market-based time	358,566		374,171
Time, excluding market-based	6,197,562		6,336,073
Total deposits	$	18,996,477	$	18,242,042

Our major source of funds and liquidity is our deposit base, which provides funding for our investment securities and our loan and lease portfolios. We carefully manage our interest paid on deposits to control the level of interest expense we incur. The mix and type of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits in our deposit base changes due to our funding needs, marketing activities and market conditions.

Total deposits increased by $0.8 billion, or 4%, to $19.0 billion at March 31, 2016 from $18.2 billion at December 31, 2015. During the first three months of 2016, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $0.4 billion, or 31%, to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in commercial and servicing demand deposits. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $0.4 billion, or 2%, to $17.5 billion at March 31, 2016 from $17.1 billion at December 31, 2015. This increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to growth in savings and money market accounts partially offset by declines in time deposits.

FHLB Borrowings

In addition to deposits, we use borrowings from the FHLB as a source of funds to meet the daily liquidity needs of our clients and fund growth in earning assets. Our FHLB borrowings decreased $730.0 million, or 12%, to $5.1 billion at March 31, 2016 from $5.9 billion at December 31, 2015.

The table below summarizes the average outstanding balance of our FHLB advances, the weighted average interest rate, and the maximum amount of borrowings in each category outstanding at any month end during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Subordinated Notes Payable

On March 14, 2016, we completed the public offering and sale of $90.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (Subordinated Notes due 2026). The Subordinated Notes due 2026 will mature on March 15, 2026 and bear a fixed rate of interest of 6.00% per annum through March 14, 2021 and a floating rate of interest beginning March 15, 2021 equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 4.70%, resetting on a quarterly basis. On March 30, 2016, we made a capital contribution to EB in the amount of $85.0 million from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes due 2026.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements.

Funds invested in short-term marketable instruments, the continuous maturing of other interest-earning assets, cash flows from self-liquidating investments such as mortgage-backed securities, the possible sale of available for sale securities, and the ability to securitize certain types of loans provide sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through issuance of deposits and borrowed funds. In addition, debt and equity capital raises provide us with sources of liquidity. To manage fluctuations in short-term funding needs, we utilize borrowings under lines of credit with other financial institutions, such as the FHLB, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal fund lines of credit with correspondent banks, and, for contingent purposes, the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. We also have access to term advances with the FHLB, as well as brokered certificates of deposits, for longer term liquidity needs. We believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.

We continued to maintain a strong liquidity position during the first quarter of 2016. Cash and cash equivalents were $600.6 million, available for sale investment securities were $504.8 million, and total deposits were $19.0 billion as of March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, we had a $8.3 billion line of credit with the FHLB, of which $5.4 billion was utilized. The amount utilized includes not only outstanding balances of FHLB advances, but also letters of credit issued by FHLB on our behalf and breakage fees related to forward-dated borrowing arrangements described in Note 14 in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2016, we pledged collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank that provided $97.3 million of borrowing capacity at the discount window but did not have any borrowings outstanding. The maximum potential borrowing at the FRB is limited only by eligible collateral.

At March 31, 2016, our availability under Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC’s CDARS^® One-Way Buy^SMdeposits was $2.7 billion with $5.2 million in outstanding balances. Although our availability under the program was $2.7 billion at March 31, 2016, funding from this source is also limited by the overall network volume of CDARS One-Way Buy deposits available in the marketplace. Our treasury function views $500.0 million as the practical maximum capacity for this type of deposit funding. As of March 31, 2016, our availability under federal funds commitments was $75.0 million with no outstanding borrowings.

We continue to evaluate the ultimate impact of the implementation of the new capital and liquidity standards under the Basel III Capital Rules and the Dodd-Frank Act on the Company's liquidity management functions.

Capital Management

Management, including our Board of Directors, regularly reviews our capital position to help ensure it is appropriately positioned under various operating and market environments.

2016 Capital Actions

Capital Ratios

As a result of recent regulatory requirements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, the Company and EB will be subject to increasingly stringent regulatory capital requirements.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and EB on January 1, 2015 and introduced a new capital measure called Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), which requires that most deductions and/or adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and expands the scope of the deductions and adjustments from capital as compared to existing regulations. These deductions include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 began on January 1, 2015 and will be phased-in over a three-year period (beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015 and an additional 20% per year thereafter until fully phased-in at January 1, 2018).

The initial implementation of the requirements of Basel III at March 31, 2015 resulted in decreases to both Tier 1 Capital and adjusted total assets, but provided a one-time increase to our Tier 1 capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio. Under prior rules, the threshold deduction for mortgage servicing assets (MSA) represented the excess of the book value of the MSA (net of any related deferred tax liability) over 90% of the associated MSA's fair value. The implementation of Basel III required that this deduction be adjusted to the excess of the book value of the MSA over 10% of CET1 with a phase-in percentage applied as applicable. The result of this change at March 31, 2016 was an increase to the MSA threshold deduction of $8.5 million for the Company and a decrease of $4.8 million for EB, which resulted in a decline of Tier 1 capital and adjusted tangible assets for the Company and an increase in Tier 1 capital and adjusted tangible assets for EB. Basel III also eliminated a prior practice of allowing thrift institutions to base their average assets calculations on ending balance sheet balances in favor of using an average assets approach consistent with the approach utilized by most other financial institutions. This change resulted in a further reduction of average tangible assets at March 31, 2016 of $0.4 billion for both the Company and EB when compared to the prior methodology as averaging in prior periods with lower asset balances served to reduce the resulting average tangible assets balance. Due to the greater reduction in average tangible assets when compared to the reduction in Tier 1 capital, the overall impact of these changes was an increase to our Tier 1 capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio. For our common equity Tier 1 ratio and our Tier 1 risk based capital ratio, the impact was restricted to just the change in Tier 1 capital mentioned above and maintained the use of period end risk weighted assets. As such, it had a negative impact on these two ratios at March 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2016, EB exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered to be “well-capitalized” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.5%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.2%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.5% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.9%. At March 31, 2016, the Company also exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered to be “well-capitalized” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 9.9%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.4% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.4%. Management believes, at March 31, 2016, that both the Company and EB would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were currently effective.

On March 14, 2016, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $90.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (Subordinated Notes due 2026). For regulatory capital adequacy purposes, the Subordinated Notes due 2026 qualify as tier 2 capital for the Company. Also, on March 30, 2016 the Company made a capital contribution to EB in the amount of $85.0 million from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes due 2026.

Restrictions on Paying Dividends

Federal banking regulations impose limitations upon certain capital distributions by savings banks, such as certain cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. The OCC regulates all capital distributions by EB directly or indirectly to us, including dividend payments. EB may not pay dividends to us if, after paying those dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage and tangible capital ratio requirements, or in the event the OCC notifies EB that it is subject to heightened supervision. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, an insured depository institution such as EB is prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution would become “undercapitalized.” Payment of dividends by EB also may be restricted at any time at the discretion of the appropriate regulator if it deems the payment to constitute an “unsafe and unsound” banking practice.

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and results from our business of investing in interest-earning assets with funds obtained from interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Interest rate risk is defined as the risk of loss of future earnings or market value due to changes in interest rates. We are subject to this risk because:

•assets and liabilities may mature or re-price at different times or by different amounts;

•short-term and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts;

•similar term rate indices may exhibit different re-pricing characteristics; and

•the life of assets and liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.

Table of Contents

Interest rates may also have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, credit losses, mortgage origination volume, the fair value of MSRs and other items affecting earnings. Our objective is to measure the impact of interest rate changes on our capital and earnings and manage the balance sheet in order to decrease interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is monitored by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), which is comprised of certain executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our Board of Directors. ALCO has employed policies that attempt to manage our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, in order to control interest rate risk and avoid incurring unacceptable levels of credit or concentration risk. We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet according to these policies in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the ALCO policy permits the use of various derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk or hedge specified assets and liabilities.

Consistent with industry practice, we primarily measure interest rate risk by utilizing the concept of "Economic Value of Equity" (EVE), which is defined as the present value of assets less the present value of liabilities. EVE scenario analysis estimates the fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE does not consider management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous. Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current balance sheet only, changes to the volume and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this business hedge historically offsets most, if not all, of the heightened amortization of our MSR portfolio and other identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, changes in loan production volumes fall outside of the EVE framework. As a result, we further evaluate and consider the impact of other business factors in a separate net income sensitivity analysis.

If EVE rises in a different interest rate scenario, that would indicate incremental prospective earnings in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would result in no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The table below shows the estimated impact on EVE of increases in interest rates of 1% and 2% and decreases in interest rates of 0.25%, as of March 31, 2016.



Interest Rate Sensitivity	Table 43
	March 31, 2016
(dollars in thousands)	Net Change in EVE			% Change of EVE
Up 200 basis points	$	70,402		3.0	%
Up 100 basis points	125,302			5.4	%
Down 25 basis points	(89,643		)	(3.8	)%

Exposure amounts depend on numerous assumptions. Due to historically low interest rates, the table above may not accurately reflect the effect of decreasing interest rates upon our net interest income that would occur under a more traditional, higher interest rate environment because short-term interest rates are near zero percent and facts underlying certain of our modeling assumptions, such as the fact that deposit and loan rates cannot fall below zero percent, distort the model’s results.

Volcker Rule

The Dodd-Frank Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, which is commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule. Generally, the Volcker Rule prohibits a “banking entity” from engaging in “proprietary trading” or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with hedge funds, private equity funds and other “covered funds.” Through a series of extensions, the FRB has generally extended the deadline for conforming activities and investments under the rule to July 21, 2017. The Volcker Rule provides a significantly broader definition of proprietary trading, and captures many activities that would not traditionally have been referred to as proprietary trading, including risk-mitigating hedging and market-making activities. This requires the Company to undertake a careful review to ensure that it has identified all potential Volcker Rule proprietary trading within the organization. Like the prohibition on proprietary trading, the restrictions on “covered funds” – the term for any fund covered by the Volcker Rule – apply to many entities and investment activities that would not traditionally have been referred to as hedge funds or private equity funds, including the acquisition of an “ownership interest” in certain trust preferred collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and Re-REMICs that are considered to be “covered funds” under the rule. Based on our evaluation of the impact of these changes, investments with a carrying value of $6.3 million at March 31, 2016, have been identified that may be required to be divested prior to July 21, 2017. The Volcker Rule also requires the Company to develop and provide for the continued administration of a compliance program reasonably designed to ensure and monitor the Company’s compliance with the Volcker Rule. We continue to evaluate the Volcker Rule and the final rules adopted thereunder.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Risk

Interest Rate Risk

An integral component of our interest rate risk management strategy is our use of derivative instruments to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in interest rates. As part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, we enter into contracts or derivatives to hedge interest rate lock commitments, loans held for sale, trust preferred debt, and forecasted payments on debt. These derivatives include forward purchase and sales commitments (FSA), optional forward purchase and sales commitments (OFSA), interest rate swaps and interest rate swap futures.

We enter into these derivative contracts with major financial institutions or purchase them from active exchanges where applicable. Credit risk arises from the inability of these counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts. We minimize this risk through collateral arrangements, master netting arrangements, exposure limits and monitoring procedures.

Commodity Market Risk

Commodity risk represents exposures to deposit instruments linked to various commodity, metals and U.S. Treasury yield markets. We offer market-based deposit products consisting of MarketSafe^® products, which provide investment capabilities for clients seeking portfolio diversification with respect to commodities and other indices, which are typically unavailable from our banking competitors. MarketSafe^® deposits rate of return is based on the movement of a particular market index. In order to manage the risk that may occur from fluctuations in the related

Table of Contents

markets, we enter into offsetting options with exactly the same terms as the commodity linked MarketSafe^® deposits, which provide an economic hedge.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk represents exposures to changes in the values of deposits and future cash flows denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We offer WorldCurrency^® deposit products which provide investment capabilities to clients seeking portfolio diversification with respect to foreign currencies. The products include WorldCurrency^® single-currency certificates of deposit and money market accounts denominated in the world’s major currencies. In addition, we offer foreign currency linked MarketSafe^® deposits which provide returns based upon foreign currency linked indices. Exposure to loss on these products will increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange rates fluctuate. In addition, we offer foreign exchange contracts to small and medium size businesses with international payment needs. Foreign exchange contract products, which include spot and simple forward contracts, represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. Exposure to loss on these contracts will increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. These types of products expose us to a degree of risk. To manage the risk that may occur from fluctuations in world currency markets, we enter into offsetting short-term forward foreign exchange contracts with terms that match the amount and the maturity date of our single-currency certificates of deposit, money market deposit instruments, or foreign exchange contracts. In addition, we enter into offsetting options with exactly the same terms as the foreign currency linked MarketSafe^® deposits, which provide an economic hedge. For more information, including the notional amount and fair value, of these derivatives, see Note 12 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Some of these matters include employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

In addition to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016, we are currently subject to the following legal proceedings:

Mortgage Electronic Registration Services Related Litigation

Mortgage Electronic Registration Services (MERS), EverHome Mortgage Company, EverBank and other lenders and servicers that have held mortgages through MERS are parties to the following material and class action lawsuits where the plaintiffs allege improper mortgage assignment and, in some instances, the failure to pay recording fees in violation of state recording statutes: (1) State of Ohio, ex. rel. David P. Joyce, Prosecuting Attorney General of Geauga County, Ohio v. MERSCORP, Inc., et al., filed in October 2011 in the Court of Common Pleas for Geauga County, Ohio; and (2) Delaware County, PA, Recorder of Deeds v. MERSCORP, Inc., et al., filed in November 2013 in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In these material and class action lawsuits, the plaintiffs in each case generally seek judgment from the courts compelling the defendants to record all assignments, restitution, compensatory and punitive damages, and appropriate attorneys' fees and costs. We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and contest all such claims vigorously.

Vathana Class Action

In April 2009, a putative class action entitled Vathana v. EverBank was filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California, against EverBank on behalf of all persons who invested in certain EverBank foreign currency certificates of deposit between April 24, 2005 and April 24, 2009, whose certificates of deposit were closed by EverBank and who were allegedly improperly paid the value of the account. In May 2009, EverBank removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that EverBank breached its contract with its customers by invoking the force majeure provision when closing certain foreign currency certificates of deposit, and that at the time of account closing, utilizing an improper conversion rate. On October 9, 2015, the parties agreed to a settlement in principle and the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on March 18, 2016. On March 29, 2016, EverBank paid $750,000 to the settlement fund pursuant to the settlement. Notices will be sent to the class members in April 2016.

West Collective Action

The Company is a party to a collective action under the FLSA entitled Anthony West and all others similarly situated under 29 USC 216(B) v. EverBank Financial Corp filed on May 19, 2015 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The plaintiff in this collective action suit alleges that plaintiff and the class were (1) improperly classified as exempt under the FLSA (2) entitled to and not paid overtime and (3) not paid federally mandated minimum wage. The suit seeks (1) unpaid back wages, (2) liquidated damages equal to the back pay and (3) costs of the suit incurred by plaintiff. EverBank filed an answer to the complaint denying the claims. On March 22, 2016 the parties entered into a tentative settlement agreement to resolve the claims of the 19 individual opt-in plaintiffs and are finalizing the settlement agreements.

Bland Collective Action

We are party to a collective action arbitration demand under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) entitled Edward Moise, James Tyrrell, John Jahangani, Louis Andrew Doherty III, Calvin Cooper, Lemuel Bland and all others similarly situated v. EverBank and EverBank Financial Corp filed with the American Arbitration Association on September 3, 2015. The plaintiffs in this collective action arbitration allege that plaintiffs and the class were (1) improperly classified as exempt under the FLSA (2) entitled to and not paid overtime and (3) not paid federally mandated minimum wage. The demand seeks (1) unpaid back wages, (2) liquidated damages equal to the back pay and (3) costs of the suit incurred by plaintiff. On March 23, 2016 the parties entered into a tentative settlement agreement at mediation to resolve the claims of the 9 individual opt-in plaintiffs and are finalizing the settlement agreements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our prior filings. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business, financial condition and results of operation. There have not been any material changes from the discussion of risk factors affecting the Company previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016.
