Closed on the novation and transfer of our ED servicing contract to a third party in October 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we serviced $57 billion in FFELP (federally guaranteed) loans.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 2Q22 vs. 2Q21

 

 

Net income was $110 million compared to $113 million.

 

 

Net interest income increased $5 million, primarily due to an increase in the net interest margin, partially offset by the natural paydown of the portfolio.

 

 

Provision for loan losses was unchanged at $0. The increase in charge-offs and delinquencies and the decrease in forbearances detailed below was expected as loans returned to repayment after pandemic relief.

 

     

Charge-offs were $10 million compared to $5 million.

 

     

Delinquencies greater than 30 days were $6.5 billion compared to $3.8 billion.

 

     

Forbearances were $6.2 billion compared to $7.4 billion.

 

 

Other revenue decreased $38 million which was primarily a result of the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party in October 2021.

 

 

Expenses were $30 million lower primarily as a result of the decrease in other revenue discussed above.

The provision for loan losses of $18 million in the current period included $7 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The negative provision of $(1) million in the year-ago quarter was comprised of $13 million of provision related to loan originations less the reversal of both $5 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $30 million of Private Education Loans as well as $9 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The increase in charge-offs and delinquencies and the decrease in forbearances detailed below was expected as loans returned to repayment after pandemic relief.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 2Q22 vs. 2Q21

 

 

Net income was $10 million compared to $29 million.

 

 

Revenue decreased $43 million, or 33%, primarily due to the expected $46 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by a $3 million increase in revenue from services we performed for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

 

EBITDA was $14 million, down $26 million, or 65%. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of the revenue decrease discussed above.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company’s beliefs, opinions or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “goal,” or “target.” Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. For Navient, these factors include, among others, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in the macroeconomic environment, restrictions on business, individual or travel activities intended to slow the spread of the pandemic and volatility in market conditions resulting from the pandemic including interest rates, the value of equities and other financial assets; the risks and uncertainties associated with increases in financing costs; the availability of financing or limits on our liquidity resulting from disruptions in the capital markets or other factors; unanticipated increases in costs associated with compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations; changes in the demand for asset management and business processing solutions or other changes in marketplaces in which we compete (including increased competition); changes in accounting standards including but not limited to changes pertaining to loan loss reserves and estimates or other accounting standards that may impact our operations; adverse outcomes in any

The company could also be affected by, among other things: unanticipated repayment trends on education loans including prepayments or deferrals resulting from new interpretations of current laws, rules or regulations or future laws, executive orders or other policy initiatives which operate to encourage or require consolidation, abolish existing or create additional income-based repayment or debt forgiveness programs or establish other policies and programs which may increase the prepayment rates on education loans and accelerate repayment of the bonds in our securitization trusts; reductions to our credit ratings, the credit ratings of asset-backed securitizations we sponsor or the credit ratings of the United States of America; failures of our operating systems or infrastructure or those of third-party vendors; risks related to cybersecurity including the potential disruption of our systems or those of our third-party vendors or customers, or potential disclosure of confidential customer information; damage to our reputation resulting from cyber-breaches or litigation; failure to successfully implement cost-cutting initiatives and adverse effects of such initiatives on our business; failure to adequately integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions including delays or errors in converting portfolio acquisitions to our servicing platform; changes in law and regulations whether new laws or regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations applicable to any of our businesses or activities or those of our vendors, suppliers or customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the availability of any relevant money-market index rate, including LIBOR, or the relationship between the relevant money-market index rate and the rate at which our assets are priced; our ability to successfully effectuate any acquisitions and other strategic initiatives; activities by shareholder activists, including a proxy contest or any unsolicited takeover proposal; changes in general economic conditions, including the potential impact of persistent inflation; and the other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” section of Navient’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and assumptions about future events.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We present the results of operations below first in accordance with GAAP. Following our discussion of earnings results on a GAAP basis, we present our results on a segment basis. We have four reportable operating segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending, Business Processing and Other. These segments operate in distinct business environments and we manage and evaluate the financial performance of these segments using non-GAAP financial measures we call Core Earnings (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Core Earnings” for further discussion).

  COMPARISON OF 2022 RESULTS WITH 2021

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $180 million, or $1.22 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $185 million, or $1.05 diluted earnings per common share, for the year-ago period.

The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows:

 

   

Net interest income decreased by $1 million, primarily as a result of the continued natural paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin.

 

   

Provisions for loan losses increased $19 million from $(1) million to $18 million:

 

     

The provision for FFELP loan losses remained unchanged at $0.

 

     

The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $19 million from $(1) million to $18 million.

The provision for loan losses of $18 million in the current period included $7 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The negative provision of $(1) million in the year-ago quarter was primarily related to $13 million of provision primarily related to loan originations less the reversal of both $5 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $30 million of Private Education Loans as well as $9 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio.

 

   

Servicing revenue decreased $33 million primarily related to the transfer of the servicing contract for 5.6 million ED owned student loan accounts from Navient to a third party in October 2021. As a result, Navient no longer is a party to the ED servicing contract. To aid in the transition, Navient will provide certain services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement.

 

   

Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $54 million primarily as a result of a $43 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment, primarily due to the expected wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from services we perform for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

   

Losses on debt repurchases decreased $12 million. We repurchased $692 million of debt at a $12 million loss in the year-ago quarter. There were no debt repurchases in the current period.

 

   

Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $32 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

 

   

Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $2 million and $8 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $188 million and $244 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $56 million decrease was primarily related to no longer being a party to the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue.

We repurchased 6.9 million and 11.8 million shares of our common stock during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 29 million common shares (or 16%) from the year-ago period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $435 million, or $2.90 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $555 million, or $3.08 diluted earnings per common share, for the year-ago period.

The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows:

 

   

Net interest income decreased by $27 million, primarily as a result of the continued natural paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios, as well as the $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans sales in first-quarter 2021. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin.

 

   

Provisions for loan losses increased $122 million from $(88) million to $34 million:

 

     

The provision for FFELP loan losses remained unchanged at $0.

 

     

The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $122 million from $(88) million to $34 million.

The provision for loan losses of $34 million in the current period included $18 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $16 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The provision for loan losses in the current period primarily related to loan originations. The negative provision of $(88) million in the year-ago period was primarily related to the reversal of both $107 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans discussed below and $10 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio, partially offset by $29 million of provision primarily related to loan originations.

 

   

Servicing revenue decreased $66 million primarily related to the transfer of the servicing contract for 5.6 million ED owned student loan accounts from Navient to a third party in October 2021. As a result, Navient no longer is a party to the ED servicing contract. To aid in the transition, Navient will provide certain services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement (see discussion below related to “Other income”).

 

   

Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $96 million primarily as a result of a $74 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment, primarily due to the expected wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from services we perform for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

   

Other income increased $11 million primarily related to the transition services being performed in connection with the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party, as discussed above.

 

   

Gains on sales of loans decreased $78 million in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans in first-quarter 2021. There was a $13 million gain related to derivatives that were used to hedge this transaction that did not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, this gain related to the derivatives was included as a part of “gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities, net” on the income statement. There were no such sales in the current period.

 

   

Losses on debt repurchases decreased $12 million. We repurchased $717 million of debt at a $12 million loss in the year-ago period. There were no debt repurchases in the current period.

 

   

Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $94 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

 

   

Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $3 million and $16 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $392 million and $494 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $102 million decrease was primarily related to no longer being a party to the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue.

 

   

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company incurred $3 million and $8 million, respectively of restructuring/other reorganization expenses in connection with an effort to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency.

We repurchased 13.1 million and 19.9 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 30 million common shares (or 17%) from the year-ago period.

(1)

Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, at the time of charge-off, the expected recovery amount is transferred from the education loan balance to the allowance for loan loss and is referred to as the “expected future recoveries on charged-off loans.” For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge-off.

 

(2)

At the end of each month, for loans that are 212 or more days past due, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance. Actual recoveries are applied against the remaining loan balance that was not charged off. We refer to this as the expected future recoveries on charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately charged off through the allowance for Private Education Loan losses with an offsetting reduction in the expected future recoveries on charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are greater than expected, they will be reflected as a recovery through the allowance for Private Education Loan losses once the cumulative recovery amount exceeds the cumulative amount originally expected to be recovered. The following table summarizes the activity in the expected future recoveries on charged-off loans:

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We expect to fund our ongoing liquidity needs, including the repayment of $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the short term (i.e., over the next 12 months) and the remaining $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the long term (from 2023 to 2043 with 81% maturing by 2029), through a number of sources. These sources primarily are our cash on hand, unencumbered FFELP Loan and Private Education Refinance Loan portfolios (see “Sources of Primary Liquidity” below), the predictable operating cash flows provided by operating activities, the repayment of principal on unencumbered education loan assets, and the distribution of overcollateralization from our securitization trusts. We may also, depending on market conditions and availability, draw down on our secured FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan facilities, issue term ABS, enter into additional Private Education Loan ABS repurchase facilities, or issue additional unsecured debt.

We originate Private Education Loans (a portion of which are done through a forward purchase agreement). We also have purchased and may purchase, in future periods, Private Education Loan and FFELP Loan portfolios from third parties. Those originations and purchases are part of our ongoing liquidity needs. We repurchased 6.9 million shares of common stock for $105 million in the second quarter of 2022 and have $780 million of unused share repurchase authority as of June 30, 2022.

Sources of Additional Liquidity

Liquidity may also be available under our secured credit facilities. Maximum borrowing capacity under the FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) facilities will vary and be subject to each agreement’s borrowing conditions, including, among others, facility size, current usage and availability of qualifying collateral from unencumbered loans. The following tables detail the additional borrowing capacity of these facilities with maturity dates ranging from October 2022 to April 2024.

Our secured financing facilities include Private Education Loan ABS Repurchase Facilities, which had $0.3 billion outstanding as of June 30, 2022. These repurchase facilities are collateralized by the net assets in previously issued Private Education Loan ABS trusts and have had a cost of funds lower than that of a new unsecured debt issuance.

The following table reconciles encumbered and unencumbered assets and their net impact on total Tangible Equity.

  NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial results reported on a GAAP basis, Navient also provides certain performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures. We present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Core Earnings (as well as Adjusted Core Earnings), (2) Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio and (3) EBITDA for the Business Processing segment.

1. Core Earnings

We prepare financial statements and present financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we also evaluate our business segments and present financial results on a basis that differs from GAAP. We refer to this different basis of presentation as Core Earnings. We provide this Core Earnings basis of presentation on a consolidated basis and for each business segment because this is what we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors. Because our Core Earnings basis of presentation corresponds to our segment financial presentations, we are required by GAAP to provide certain Core Earnings disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for our business segments.

Core Earnings are not a substitute for reported results under GAAP. We use Core Earnings to manage our business segments because Core Earnings reflect adjustments to GAAP financial results for two items, discussed below, that can create significant volatility mostly due to timing factors generally beyond the control of management. Accordingly, we believe that Core Earnings provide management with a useful basis from which to better evaluate results from ongoing operations against the business plan or against results from prior periods. Consequently, we disclose this information because we believe it provides investors with additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely assessed by management. When compared to GAAP results, the two items we remove to result in our Core Earnings presentations are:

 

  (1)

Mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or do qualify for hedge accounting treatment but result in ineffectiveness; and

 

  (2)

The accounting for goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

While GAAP provides a uniform, comprehensive basis of accounting, for the reasons described above, our Core Earnings basis of presentation does not. Core Earnings are subject to certain general and specific limitations that investors should carefully consider. For example, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. Our Core Earnings are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, our Core Earnings presentation does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Investors, therefore, may not be able to compare our performance with that of other financial services companies based upon Core Earnings. Core Earnings results are only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely used by management, our board of directors, credit rating agencies, lenders and investors to assess performance.

The following tables show Core Earnings for each reportable segment and our business as a whole along with the adjustments made to the income/expense items to reconcile the amounts to our reported GAAP results as required by GAAP.

Derivative Accounting: Core Earnings exclude periodic gains and losses that are caused by the mark-to-market valuations on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP, as well as the periodic mark-to-market gains and losses that are a result of ineffectiveness recognized related to effective hedges under GAAP. Under GAAP, for our derivatives that are held to maturity, the mark-to-market gain or loss over the life of the contract will equal $0 except for Floor Income Contracts, where the mark-to-market gain will equal the amount for which we originally sold the contract. In our Core Earnings presentation, we recognize the economic effect of these hedges, which generally results in any net settlement cash paid or received being recognized ratably as an interest expense or revenue over the hedged item’s life.

The table below quantifies the adjustments for derivative accounting between GAAP and Core Earnings net income.

Derivative accounting requires net settlement income/expense on derivatives that do not qualify as hedges to be recorded in a separate income statement line item below net interest income. Under our Core Earnings presentation, these settlements are reclassified to the income statement line item of the economically hedged item. For our Core Earnings net interest income, this would primarily include: (a) reclassifying the net settlement amounts related to our Floor Income Contracts to education loan interest income; and (b) reclassifying the net settlement amounts related to certain of our interest rate swaps to debt interest expense. The table below summarizes these net settlements on derivative and hedging activities and the associated reclassification on a Core Earnings basis.

Other derivative accounting adjustments consist of adjustments related to: (1) foreign currency denominated debt that is adjusted to spot foreign exchange rates for GAAP where such adjustments are reversed for Core Earnings and (2) certain terminated derivatives that did not receive hedge accounting treatment under GAAP but were economic hedges under Core Earnings and, as a result, such gains or losses are amortized into Core Earnings over the life of the hedged item.

Cumulative Impact of Derivative Accounting under GAAP compared to Core Earnings

As of June 30, 2022, derivative accounting has increased GAAP equity by approximately $39 million as a result of cumulative net mark-to-market gains (after tax) recognized under GAAP, but not under Core Earnings. The following table rolls forward the cumulative impact to GAAP equity due to these after-tax mark-to-market net gains related to derivative accounting.

Hedging Embedded Floor Income

We use Floor Income Contracts, pay-fixed swaps and fixed rate debt to economically hedge embedded floor income in our FFELP loans. Historically, we have used these instruments on a periodic basis and depending upon market conditions and pricing, we may enter into additional hedges in the future. Under GAAP, the Floor Income Contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and the pay-fixed swaps are accounted for as cashflow hedges. The table below shows the amount of Hedged Floor Income that will be recognized in Core Earnings in future periods based on these hedge strategies.

Adjusted Core Earnings

Adjusted Core Earnings net income and adjusted Core Earnings operating expenses exclude restructuring and regulatory-related expenses. Management excludes these expenses as Adjusted Core Earnings is one of the measures we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources, as this presentation is a useful basis for management and investors to further analyze Core Earnings. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors.

The following table summarizes these excluded expenses:

2. Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio

Adjusted Tangible Equity measures the ratio of Navient’s Tangible Equity to its tangible assets. We adjust this ratio to exclude the assets and equity associated with our FFELP Loan portfolio because FFELP Loans are no longer originated and the FFELP portfolio bears a 3% maximum loss exposure under the terms of the federal guaranty. Management believes that excluding this portfolio from the ratio enhances its usefulness to investors. Management uses this ratio, in addition to other metrics, for analysis and decision making related to capital allocation decisions. The Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio is calculated as:

The following provides the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio on a pro forma basis assuming the cumulative net mark-to-market losses related to derivative accounting under GAAP were excluded. These cumulative losses reverse to $0 upon the maturity of the individual derivative instruments. As these losses are temporary, we believe this pro forma presentation is a useful basis for management and investors to further analyze the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio.
