The Company has agreements with third parties to sell beneficial interests in the servicing fees generated from certain of its originated or acquired mortgage servicing rights. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell to the third parties the right to receive all excess servicing and ancillary fees related to the identified MSRs in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the identified mortgage servicing rights. These transactions are accounted for as financings under ASC 470and included in nonrecourse debt, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company elected to measure the outstanding financings related to the nonrecourse MSR financing liability, at fair value, as permitted under ASC 825, with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to fee income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value on the nonrecourse MSR financing liability is based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be paid to the third parties with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. See Note 30—Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding the nonrecourse MSR financing liability.
