Organization and Description of Business
1. Organization and Description of Business
Finance of America Companies Inc. (“FoA”, “Company”, or “Successor”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 9, 2020. FoA is a financial services holding company which, through its operating subsidiaries, is a leading originator and servicer of residential mortgage loans and provider of complementary financial services.
FoA has a controlling financial interest in Finance of America Equity Capital LLC (“FoA Equity” or “Predecessor”). FoA Equity owns all of the outstanding equity interests in Finance of America Funding LLC (“FOAF”). FOAF wholly owns Finance of America Holdings LLC (“FAH”) and Incenter LLC (“Incenter” and collectively, with FoA Equity, FOAF and FAH, known as “holding company subsidiaries”).
The Company, through its holding company subsidiary, FAH, operates two lending companies, FAM and FAR (collectively, the “operating lending subsidiaries”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Company’s operating lending subsidiary Finance of America Commercial LLC (“FACo”), which previously operated as a separate operating lending subsidiary under FAH, merged with FAM, with FAM being the surviving operating lending subsidiary. Through FAM and FAR, the Company originates, purchases, sells and securitizes conventional (conforming to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) or Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”); collectively referred to as government sponsored entities (“GSEs”)), government-insured (FHA), government guaranteed (VA), and proprietary
non-agency
residential and reverse mortgages. FAM (prior to January 1, 2022) through FACo also originates or acquires a variety of commercial mortgage loans made to owners and investors of single and multi-family residential rental properties, as well as government-insured agricultural loans made to farmers to fund their inputs and operating expenses for the upcoming growing season. Additionally, FAM originates or acquires secured and unsecured home improvement loans or receivables. The Company, through one of its other holding company subsidiaries, Incenter, has operating service companies (the “operating service subsidiaries” and together with the operating lending subsidiaries, the “operating subsidiaries”) which provide lender services, title services, secondary markets advisory services, mortgage trade brokerage, appraisal and capital management services to customers in the residential mortgage, student lending, and commercial lending industries. Incenter operates a foreign branch in the Philippines for fulfillment transactional support.
Impact of the
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
COVID-19
pandemic has adversely impacted global financial markets and contributed to significant volatility in market liquidity as well as fluctuations in yields required by market investors in the type of financial instruments originated by the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries. The full impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. On April 4, 2022, the Company’s offices became eligible to
re-open
in accordance with its COVID-19 safety policies; however, many employees continue to work from home. The Company has implemented additional safety procedures and protocols for employees who are physically present in the office. The Company’s management is actively monitoring the global situation relating to
COVID-19
and its effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Further, the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the residential mortgage and commercial lending industries. As of March 31, 2022, approximately
 
0.25% of units and 0.27%
of unpaid principal balance of the companies total residential mortgage servicing portfolio is in forbearance as a result of the economic impacts caused by
COVID-19.
As the pandemic continues, it has the potential to cause additional volatility in the financial markets and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets and liquidity in fiscal year 2022.
