Mortgage Servicing Rights

7) Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The Company initially records its MSRs at fair value. After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. Amortization expenses are included in other expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the MSR balance in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

 

The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the carrying value (carrying value is the amortized cost reduced by any related valuation allowance). If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period earnings and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance.

 

The Company periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in each stratum is impaired and likely to recover. If the Company deems recovery of the value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.

 

The following table presents the MSR activity:

7) Mortgage Servicing Rights (Continued)

 

The table below summarizes the Company’s estimate of future amortization of its existing MSRs carried at amortized cost. This projection was developed using the Company’s assumptions in its March 31, 2026, valuation of MSRs. The assumptions used in the following table are likely to change as market conditions, portfolio composition and borrower behavior change, causing both actual and projected amortization levels to change over time.

 

   Estimated MSR Amortization 
2026   250,438 
2027   234,927 
2028   215,762 
2029   193,541 
2030   174,002 
Thereafter   1,391,591 
Total  $2,460,261 

 

The Company collected the following contractual service fee income and late fee income as reported in other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
