(1)Prior to January 1, 2020, substantially all of Huntington’s MSR assets were recorded at amortized cost.
(2)Represents decrease in value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled principal payments and partial loan paydowns.
(3)Represents decrease in value associated with loans that paid off during the period.
(4)Represents change in value resulting primarily from market-driven changes in interest rates.
MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Therefore, the fair value of MSRs is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the valuation of MSRs. MSR values are highly sensitive to movement in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments.
For MSRs under the fair value method, a summary of key assumptions and the sensitivity of the MSR value to changes in these assumptions at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 follows:
