FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements and other information that is based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this report. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our 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,” “goals,” or “target.” Such statements are based on management's expectations as of the date of this filing and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully under the section titled “Risk Factors” and include, but are not limited to the following:

• the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks;

• general economic conditions, including the potential impact of persistent inflation and increasing interest rates on Navient and its clients and customers and on the creditworthiness of third parties;

• increased defaults on education loans held by us;

• the cost and availability of funding in the capital markets;

• changes in the general interest rate environment, including the availability of any relevant money-market index rate, including LIBOR or SOFR, or the relationship between the relevant money-market index rate and the rate at which our assets are priced;

• 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 that 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;

• our unhedged Floor Income is dependent on the future interest rate environment and therefore is variable;

• a reduction in our credit ratings;

• adverse market conditions or an inability to effectively manage our liquidity risk or access liquidity could negatively impact us;

• the interest rate characteristics of our assets do not always match those of our funding arrangements;

• our use of derivatives exposes us to credit and market risk;

• our ability to continually and effectively align our cost structure with our business operations;

• a failure or breach of our operating systems, infrastructure or information technology systems;

• failure by any third party providing us material services or products or a breach or violation of law by one of these third parties;

• changes to applicable laws, rules, regulations and government policies and expanded regulatory and governmental oversight;

• our work with government clients exposes us to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment;

• shareholder activism;

• shareholders’ percentage ownership in Navient may be diluted in the future;

• reputational risk and social factors;

• obligations owed to parties under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the spin-off of Navient from SLM Corporation (the Spin-Off); and

• acquisitions or strategic investments that we pursue.

Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results could differ materially. All forward-looking statements contained in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Through this discussion and analysis, we intend to provide the reader with some narrative context for how our management views our consolidated financial statements, additional context within which to assess our operating results, and information on the quality and variability of our earnings, liquidity and cash flows.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We prepare financial statements and present financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we also evaluate our business segments and present our financial results on a basis that differs from GAAP. We refer to this different basis of presentation as Core Earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 include this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors. Because our Core Earnings basis of presentation is our measure of profit or loss for our segments, we are required by GAAP to provide Core Earnings disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for our business segments.

In addition to Core Earnings, we present the following other non-GAAP financial measures: Tangible Equity, Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Expense (EBITDA) (for the Business Processing segment), and Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off Loans. Definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations are provided below, except that reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain items, including, but not limited to, the impact of any mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a further discussion and a complete reconciliation between GAAP net income and Core Earnings.

img126567081_1.jpg

•Federal Education Loans

We own a portfolio of $40.9 billion of federally guaranteed Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) Loans. As a servicer on our own portfolio and for third parties, we deploy data-driven approaches to support the success of our customers. Our flexible and scalable infrastructure manages large volumes of complex transactions, simplifying the customer experience and continually improving efficiency.

•Consumer Lending

We help students and families succeed through the college journey with innovative planning tools, student loans and refinancing products.

•Business Processing

We leverage our loan servicing expertise to provide business processing solutions for approximately 500 public sector and healthcare organizations, and their tens of millions of clients, patients, and constituents. Our suite of omnichannel customer experience, digital processing and revenue cycle solutions enables our clients to deliver better results for the people they serve.

Superior Operational Performance with a Strong Customer Service and Compliance Commitment

We help our customers — both individuals and institutions — navigate the path to financial success through proactive, data-driven, simplified service and innovative solutions.

• Delivering superior performance. Whether supporting student loan borrowers in successfully managing their loans, designing and implementing omnichannel contact center solutions for public sector agencies, generating additional revenue for hospitals and medical systems, or helping a state manage communications or recover revenue that funds essential services, Navient delivers value for our clients and customers.

We leverage our customer service expertise, data-driven insights, technology platforms, and scale to maximize value for our clients.

• Scalable, data-driven solutions. Annually, we support tens of millions of people in conducting hundreds of millions of transactions and interactions. Our systems are built for scale and rapid implementation. We harness the power of data to build tailored programs with analytics that optimize our clients’ results.

• Simplify complex processes. On our clients’ behalf, we help individuals successfully navigate a broad spectrum of complex transactions. Our people and platforms simplify complex programs to help customers and constituents achieve their goals.

• Improving customer experience and success. We continually make enhancements to improve the customer experience, drawing from a variety of inputs including customer surveys, research panels, analysis of customer inquiries and activities, complaint data, and regulator commentary. Across our businesses, our customer-facing representatives are trained to provide empathetic, accurate support.

• Commitment to compliance. We maintain a robust, multi-layered compliance management system and thoroughly understand and comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws. We use a “Three Lines of Defense” compliance framework, considered best practice by the U.S. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). This framework and other compliance protocols ensure we adhere to key industry laws and regulations including: Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA); Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA); Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA); Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA); Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA); Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA); Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); IRS Publication 1075; Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA); Military Lending Act (MLA); Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA); Truth in Lending Act (TILA); Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts and Practices (UDAAP); state laws; and state and city licensing.

• Corporate social responsibility. We are committed to contributing to the social and economic wellbeing of our communities; fostering the success of our customers; supporting a culture of integrity, inclusion and equality in our workforce; and embracing sustainable business practices. Navient has earned recognition from the Forum of Executive Women, Human Rights Campaign Foundation, and military publisher VIQTORY, among other organizations, for our continued commitment to fostering diversity. Our employees are active in our communities, through local and national organizations, including a national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Navient is committed to a sustainable future. We leverage technology that minimizes energy use in our office buildings and promote widespread adoption of “paperless” digital customer communications. Navient prioritizes the usage of power-saving features to our buildings to reduce energy usage. Energy efficiency and reducing CO2 and CO2 equivalents are among the many factors considered in our growth and real estate decisions.

Strong Financial Performance Resulting in a Strong Capital Return

Our second-quarter 2023 results continue to demonstrate the strength of our business model and our ability to deliver predictable and meaningful cash flow and earnings in all types of economic environments.

Our significant earnings generate significant capital, which allows for a strong capital return to our investors. Navient expects to continue to return excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in accordance with our capital allocation policy.

By optimizing capital adequacy and allocating capital to highly accretive opportunities, including organic growth and acquisitions, we remain well positioned to pay dividends and repurchase stock, while maintaining appropriate leverage that supports our credit ratings and ensures ongoing access to capital markets.

In December 2021, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock. At June 30,2023, $435 million remained in share repurchase authorization.

To inform our capital allocation decisions, we use the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio(1) in addition to other metrics. Our Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio(1) was 8.4% as of June 30, 2023.

How We Organize Our Business

We operate our business in three primary segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending and Business Processing.

img126567081_2.jpg

Federal Education Loans Segment

Navient owns FFELP Loans and performs servicing on this portfolio. We also service FFELP Loans owned by other institutions. Our servicing quality, data-driven strategies and omnichannel education about federal repayment options translate into positive results for the millions of borrowers we serve. We generate revenue primarily through net interest income on our FFELP Loans and servicing-related fee income.

Consumer Lending Segment

Navient owns, originates and services in-school and refinance Private Education Loans. "In-school" Private Education Loans are loans originally made to borrowers while they are attending school whereas "Refinance" Private Education Loans are loans where a borrower has refinanced their education loans. We generate revenue primarily through net interest income on our Private Education Loan portfolio.

Navient helps students and families through the going-to and paying-for-college journey. Our digital tools empower people to find grants and scholarships, compare financial aid offers and complete the FAFSA. Our Private Education Loans offer easy-to-understand payment options. After graduation, we offer student loan refinancing to help people simplify their repayment and earn a better rate. We believe our 50 years of experience, product design, digital marketing strategies, and origination and servicing platform provide a unique competitive advantage. We see meaningful growth opportunities in originating Private Education Loans, generating attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns.

Business Processing Segment

Navient provides business processing solutions such as omnichannel contact center services, workflow processing, and revenue cycle optimization. We leverage the same expertise and intelligent tools we use to deliver successful results for portfolios we own. Our support enables our clients to ensure better constituent outcomes, meet rapidly changing needs, improve technology, reduce operating expenses, manage risk and optimize revenue opportunities. Our clients include:

• Government: We offer our solutions to federal agencies, state governments, tolling and parking authorities, and other public sector clients.

• Healthcare: Our clients include hospitals, hospital systems, medical centers, large physician groups, other healthcare providers and public health departments.

Other Segment

This segment consists of our corporate liquidity portfolio, gains and losses incurred on the repurchase of debt, unallocated expenses of shared services (which includes regulatory expenses) and restructuring/other reorganization expenses.

The Quarter in Review

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 include 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. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Core Earnings” for a further discussion and a complete reconciliation between GAAP net income and Core Earnings.

Second-quarter 2023 GAAP net income was $66 million ($0.52 diluted earnings per share), compared with $180 million ($1.22 diluted Core Earnings per share) for the year-ago quarter. See “Results of Operations – GAAP Comparison of Second-Quarter 2023 Results with Second-Quarter 2022" for a discussion of the primary contributors to the change in GAAP earnings between periods.

Second-quarter 2023 Core Earnings net income was $88 million ($0.70 diluted Core Earnings per share), compared with $134 million ($0.91 diluted Core Earnings per share) for the year-ago quarter. See “Segment Results” for a discussion of the primary contributors to the change in Core Earnings between periods.

Financial highlights of second-quarter 2023 include:

Federal Education Loans segment:

• Net income of $76 million.

• Net interest margin of 0.97%.

Consumer Lending segment:

• Net income of $75 million.

• Net interest margin of 2.97%.

• Originated $197 million of Private Education Loans.

Business Processing segment:

• Revenue of $83 million.

• Net income of $6 million and EBITDA(1) of $8 million.

• Repurchased $80 million of common shares. $435 million common share repurchase authority remains outstanding.

• Paid $20 million in common stock dividends.

• Issued $500 million of unsecured debt and $718 million of asset-backed securities.

GAAP Comparison of Second-Quarter 2023 Results with Second-Quarter 2022

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net income was $66 million, or $0.52 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $180 million, or $1.22 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 $143 million primarily as a result of an $87 million decrease in mark-to-market gains on fair value hedges recorded in interest expense, the paydown of the FFELP and Private Education Loan portfolios and an increase in interest rates.

• Provisions for loan losses decreased $7 million from $18 million to $11 million:

o The provision for FFELP Loan losses increased $5 million from $0 to $5 million.

o The provision for Private Education Loan losses decreased $12 million from $18 million to $6 million.

The FFELP Loan provision for loan losses of $5 million in the current period was primarily a result of the extension of the portfolio and the resulting increase in expected future defaults.

The Private Education Loan provision for loan losses of $6 million in the current period included $4 million in connection with loan originations, $10 million related to a reserve build and $(8) million in connection with the adoption of a new accounting standard (ASU 2022-02). The provision of $18 million in the year-ago quarter included $7 million in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to a reserve build.

• Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $5 million primarily as a result of the expected $27 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of Business Processing pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by a $23 million increase in revenue from services for our traditional Business Processing clients. The remaining $1 million decrease was related to revenue earned in our Federal Education Loan segment and was a result of exiting that business line in fourth-quarter 2022.

• Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $4 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate fluctuations. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

• Operating expenses were $182 million and $190 million in the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. This $8 million decrease was primarily related to the decline in overall servicing costs.

• Restructuring expenses increased $15 million primarily due to severance costs in connection with the CEO transition.

We repurchased 4.9 million and 6.9 million shares of our common stock during the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 22 million common shares (or 15%) from the year-ago period.

GAAP Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Results with Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net income was $177 million, or $1.39 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $435 million, or $2.90 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 $245 million primarily as a result of a $133 million decrease in mark-to-market gains on fair value hedges recorded in interest expense, the paydown of the FFELP and Private Education Loan portfolios and an increase in interest rates.

• Provisions for loan losses decreased $37 million from $34 million to $(3) million:

o The provision for FFELP Loan losses increased $15 million from $0 to $15 million.

o The provision for Private Education Loan losses decreased $52 million from $34 million to $(18) million.

The FFELP Loan provision for loan losses of $15 million in the current period was primarily a result of the extension of the portfolio and the resulting increase in expected future defaults.

The Private Education Loan provision for loan losses of $(18) million in the current period included $(60) million in connection with the adoption of a new accounting standard (ASU 2022-02), $9 million in connection with loan originations, $10 million related to a reserve build and $23 million in connection with the resolution of certain private legacy loans in bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2023. The provision of $34 million in the year-ago period included $18 million in connection with loan originations and $16 million related to a reserve build.

We adopted ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” on January 1, 2023. This new ASU eliminates the troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) recognition and measurement guidance. Prior to adopting this new guidance, as it relates to interest rate concessions granted as part of our Private Education Loan modification program, a discounted cash flow model was used to calculate the amount of interest forgiven for loans that were in the program and the present value of that interest rate concession was included as a part of the allowance for loan loss. This new guidance no longer allows the measurement and recognition of this element of our allowance for loan loss for new modifications that occur subsequent to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan loss included $77 million related to this interest rate concession component of the allowance for loan loss. We elected to adopt this amendment using a prospective transition method which results in the $77 million releasing in 2023 and 2024 as the borrowers exit their current modification programs. $60 million of the $77 million was released in the period.

• Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $30 million primarily as a result of the expected $64 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of Business Processing pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by a $38 million increase in revenue from services for our traditional Business Processing clients. The remaining $4 million decrease was related to revenue earned in our Federal Education Loan segment and was a result of exiting that business line in fourth-quarter 2022.

• Net gains on derivative and hedging activities decreased $103 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate fluctuations. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

• Operating expenses were $368 million and $395 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This $27 million decrease was primarily related to the decline in Business Processing pandemic-related revenue as well as a decline in overall servicing costs.

• Restructuring expenses increased $16 million primarily due to severance costs in connection with the CEO transition.

We repurchased 9.8 million and 13.1 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 22 million common shares (or 15%) from the year-ago period.

Comparison of Second-Quarter 2023 Results with Second-Quarter 2022

• Net income was $76 million compared to $110 million.

• Net interest income decreased $40 million primarily due to the paydown of the loan portfolio as well as a reduction of floor income earned.

• Provision for loan losses increased $5 million. The $5 million of provision for loan losses in the current period primarily was a result of the extension of the portfolio and the resulting increase in expected future defaults.

o Net charge-offs were $19 million compared to $10 million.

o Delinquencies greater than 90 days were $2.7 billion compared to $3.1 billion.

o Forbearances were $6.3 billion compared to $6.2 billion.

• Other income decreased $8 million primarily due to lower contract-exit transition services and the paydown of the loan portfolio.

• Expenses were $7 million lower as a result of the paydown of the loan portfolio and the decrease in other revenue discussed above.

Asset Recovery and Business Processing Revenue

Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $1 million as a result of exiting the FFELP asset recovery business in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Other Revenue

Other revenue decreased $6 million primarily related to lower contract-exit transition services.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the Federal Education Loans segment primarily include costs incurred to perform servicing on our FFELP Loan portfolio and federal education loans held by other institutions. Expenses were $7 million lower primarily as a result of the paydown of the loan portfolio and the decrease in other revenue discussed above.

Federal Loan Forgiveness

On August 24, 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration announced its Student Debt Relief (SDR) Plan. The SDR Plan provided up to $20,000 in one-time debt relief to income-qualified recipients with ED held student loans and a repayment pause on ED held loans. Privately held FFELP Loans, like ours, were not eligible for debt forgiveness under the SDR Plan

Following publication of the SDR Plan, a number of states and private organizations initiated legal challenges to the SDR Plan in various courts throughout the country, which ultimately resulted in the implementation of the SDR Plan being disallowed. The Biden-Harris Administration and ED subsequently appealed both cases to the Supreme Court of the United States. On June 30, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that ED was prohibited from implementing the SDR Plan; thus, payments are expected to resume in October 2023. While the current version of the SDR Plan has been invalidated, ED recently announced that it has begun a new rulemaking process to consider other ways to provide debt relief to borrowers, which could include borrowers with privately held FFELP Loans.

Further, on July 10, 2023, ED issued final regulations on income-driven repayment plans for Direct loans, which are student loans held by ED. Eligible FFELP borrowers can access the new changes by consolidating their loans into the Direct Loan Program. The new regulations are effective July 1, 2024; however, ED has elected early implementation for some features starting July 30, 2023. The regulations provide a lower monthly loan payment on a Direct loan by decreasing discretionary income (i.e., taxable income over 225% of the federal poverty guideline), decreasing the percentage of discretionary income that must be paid toward a Direct loan to 5% (for undergraduates), and providing the option for married borrowers to exclude their spouse’s income from being factored by filing a separate tax return. Other changes provide for the elimination of accrued interest that is not covered by the monthly payment amount, provide credit towards loan forgiveness that counts certain periods of deferment and forbearance, a shorter loan forgiveness period (10-years) for borrowers with an original principal balance less than or equal to $12,000, and credit toward loan forgiveness for eligible payments on a Direct or FFELP loan that is repaid by a Direct Consolidation loan. This new income-driven repayment plan may increase consolidation activity in the future as FFELP borrowers consolidate their loans into the Direct Loan Program in order to be eligible for the new income-driven repayment plan. This could have a material impact on the Company’s results in future periods.

Comparison of Second-Quarter 2023 Results with Second-Quarter 2022

• Originated $197 million of Private Education Loans compared to $420 million.

o Refinance Loan originations were $142 million compared to $374 million. The decrease in originations is primarily the result of borrowers with fixed interest rate loans having less of an incentive to refinance in light of the significant increase in interest rates that occurred in 2022.

o In-school loan originations were $55 million compared to $46 million.

• Net income was $75 million compared to $71 million.

• Net interest income increased $1 million due to an increase in the net interest margin primarily due to improved funding spreads. This was partially offset by the paydown of the loan portfolio.

• Provision for loan losses decreased $12 million. The provision for loan losses of $6 million in the current period included $4 million in connection with loan originations and $2 million related to a reserve build. The provision of $18 million in the year-ago period included $7 million in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to a reserve build.

o Net charge-offs were $62 million, down $8 million from $70 million.

o Private Education Loan delinquencies greater than 90 days: $351 million, down $50 million from $401 million.

o Private Education Loan forbearances: $328 million, up $25 million from $303 million.

• Expenses increased $7 million primarily as a result of marketing for the upcoming peak in-school loan origination season.

Net Interest Loss after Provision for Loan Losses

Net interest loss after provision for loan losses is due to the negative carrying cost of our corporate liquidity portfolio. The amount of the net interest loss is primarily a result of the size of the liquidity portfolio as well as the cost of funds of the debt funding the corporate liquidity portfolio.

Unallocated Shared Services Operating Expenses

Unallocated shared services operating expenses are comprised of costs primarily related to information technology costs related to infrastructure and operations, stock-based compensation expense, accounting, finance, legal, compliance and risk management, regulatory-related expenses, human resources, certain executive management and the board of directors. Regulatory-related expenses include actual settlement amounts as well as third-party professional fees we incur in connection with such regulatory matters and are presented net of any insurance reimbursements for covered costs related to such matters. Expenses decreased $9 million from the year-ago quarter. Expenses include $2 million and $2 million, respectively, of regulatory-related expenses in the second quarters of 2023 and 2022.

See “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies” for a discussion of legal and regulatory matters where it is reasonably possible that a loss contingency exists. The Company is unable to anticipate the timing of a resolution or the impact that these matters may have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, results of operation or cash flows. As a result, it is not possible at this time to estimate a range of potential exposure, if any, for amounts that may be payable in connection with these matters and reserves have not been established. It is possible that an adverse ruling or rulings may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Restructuring/Other Reorganization Expenses

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company incurred $15 million of restructuring/other reorganization expenses primarily due to severance costs in connection with the CEO transition. There were no such expenses in the year-ago quarter.

(1) Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire defaulted loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans.” For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge-off.

(2) At the end of each month, for Private Education Loans that are 212 or more days past due, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as "expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans." If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately reflected as a reduction to expected future recoveries on previously fully 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 previously fully charged-off loans:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Funding and Liquidity Risk Management

The following “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion concentrates primarily on our Federal Education Loans and Consumer Lending segments. Our Business Processing and Other segments require minimal liquidity and funding.

We define liquidity as cash and high-quality liquid assets that we can use to meet our cash requirements. Our two primary liquidity needs are: (1) servicing our debt and (2) our ongoing ability to meet our cash needs for running the operations of our businesses (including derivative collateral requirements) throughout market cycles, including during periods of financial stress. Secondary liquidity needs, which can be adjusted as needed, include the origination of Private Education Loans, acquisitions of Private Education Loan and FFELP Loan portfolios, acquisitions of companies, the payment of common stock dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. To achieve these objectives, we analyze and monitor our liquidity needs and maintain excess liquidity and access to diverse funding sources including the issuance of unsecured debt and the issuance of secured debt primarily through asset-backed securitizations and/or other financing facilities.

We define our liquidity risk as the potential inability to meet our obligations when they become due without incurring unacceptable losses or to invest in future asset growth and business operations at reasonable market rates. Our primary liquidity risk relates to our ability to service our debt, meet our other business obligations and to continue to grow our business. The ability to access the capital markets is impacted by general market and economic conditions, our credit ratings, as well as the overall availability of funding sources in the marketplace. In addition, credit ratings may be important to customers or counterparties when we compete in certain markets and when we seek to engage in certain transactions, including over-the-counter derivatives.

Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions subject to ongoing review by the rating agencies and may change, from time to time, based on our financial performance, industry and market dynamics and other factors. Other factors that influence our credit ratings include the rating agencies’ assessment of the general operating environment, our relative positions in the markets in which we compete, reputation, liquidity position, the level and volatility of earnings, corporate governance and risk management policies, capital position and capital management practices. A negative change in our credit rating could have a negative effect on our liquidity because it might raise the cost and availability of funding and potentially require additional cash collateral or restrict cash currently held as collateral on existing borrowings or derivative collateral arrangements. It is our objective to improve our credit ratings so that we can continue to efficiently access the capital markets even in difficult economic and market conditions. We have unsecured debt totaling $6.5 billion at June 30, 2023. Three credit rating agencies currently rate our long-term unsecured debt at below investment grade.

We expect to fund our ongoing liquidity needs, including the repayment of $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the short term (i.e., over the next 12 months) and the remaining $5.3 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the long term (from 2024 to 2043 with 70% maturing by 2029), through a number of sources. These sources include 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 is obtained 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. Loan originations and purchases are part of our ongoing liquidity needs. We purchased 4.9 million shares of common stock for $80 million in the first quarter of 2023 and have $435 million of unused share repurchase authority as of June 30, 2023.

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 2023 to June 2025.

At June 30, 2023, we had a total of $3.6 billion of unencumbered tangible assets inclusive of those listed in the table above as sources of primary liquidity. Total unencumbered education loans comprised $1.4 billion principal of our unencumbered tangible assets of which $1.3 billion and $69 million related to Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, we had $5.3 billion of encumbered net assets (i.e., overcollateralization) in our various financing facilities (consolidated variable interest entities). Our secured financing facilities include Private Education Loan ABS Repurchase Facilities, which had $0.6 billion outstanding as of June 30, 2023. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A discussion of our critical accounting policies, which includes the allowance for loan losses, goodwill impairment assessment, premium and discount amortization, and the impact of the SDR Plan on our accounting policies and estimates, can be found in our 2022 Form 10-K. See "Federal Education Loans Segment – Federal Loan Forgiveness" for an update on the SDR Plan.

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, (2) Tangible Equity (as well as the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio), (3) EBITDA for the Business Processing segment, and (4) Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off Loans. Definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations are provided below, except that reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain items, including, but not limited to, the impact of any mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks.

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 our consolidated GAAP results, Core Earnings results (including for each reportable segment) along with the adjustments made to the income/expense items to reconcile the consolidated GAAP results to the Core Earnings results as required by GAAP and reported in “Note 11 — Segment Reporting.”

(1) 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 accounting for derivatives requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in earnings, with no fair value adjustment of the hedged item, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The gains and losses recorded in “Gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities, net” and interest expense (for qualifying fair value hedges) are primarily caused by interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate volatility and changing credit spreads during the period as well as the volume and term of derivatives not receiving hedge accounting treatment. We believe that our derivatives are effective economic hedges, and as such, are a critical element of our interest rate and foreign currency risk management strategy. However, some of our derivatives, primarily Floor Income Contracts, basis swaps and at times, certain other LIBOR swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and the stand-alone derivative is adjusted to fair value in the income statement with no consideration for the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged item.

Our Floor Income Contracts are written options that must meet more stringent requirements than other hedging relationships to achieve hedge effectiveness. Specifically, our Floor Income Contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because the pay down of principal of the education loans underlying the Floor Income embedded in those education loans does not exactly match the change in the notional amount of our written Floor Income Contracts. Additionally, the term, the interest rate index, and the interest rate index reset frequency of the Floor Income Contract can be different than that of the education loans. Under derivative accounting treatment, the upfront contractual payment is deemed a liability and changes in fair value are recorded through income throughout the life of the contract. The change in the fair value of Floor Income Contracts is primarily caused by changing interest rates that cause the amount of Floor Income paid to the counterparties to vary. This is economically offset by the change in the amount of Floor Income earned on the underlying education loans but that offsetting change in fair value is not recognized. We believe the Floor Income Contracts are economic hedges because they effectively fix the amount of Floor Income earned over the contract period, thus eliminating the timing and uncertainty that changes in interest rates can have on Floor Income for that period. Therefore, for purposes of Core Earnings, we have removed the mark-to-market gains and losses related to these contracts and added back the amortization of the net contractual premiums received on the Floor Income Contracts. The amortization of the net contractual premiums received on the Floor Income Contracts for Core Earnings is reflected in education loan interest income. Under GAAP accounting, the premiums received on the Floor Income Contracts are recorded as revenue in the “gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities, net” line item by the end of the contracts’ lives.

Basis swaps are used to convert floating rate debt from one floating interest rate index to another to better match the interest rate characteristics of the assets financed by that debt. We primarily use basis swaps to hedge our education loan assets that are primarily indexed to LIBOR or Prime. The accounting for derivatives requires that when using basis swaps, the change in the cash flows of the hedge effectively offset both the change in the cash flows of the asset and the change in the cash flows of the liability. Our basis swaps hedge variable interest rate risk; however, they generally do not meet this effectiveness test because the index of the swap does not exactly match the index of the hedged assets as required for hedge accounting treatment. Additionally, some of our FFELP Loans can earn interest at either a variable or a fixed interest rate depending on market interest rates and therefore swaps economically hedging these FFELP Loans do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, under GAAP, these swaps are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected currently in the income statement.

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

(1) 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.

Cumulative Impact of Derivative Accounting under GAAP compared to Core Earnings

As of June 30, 2023, derivative accounting has increased GAAP equity by approximately $67 million as a result of cumulative net mark-to-market gains (after tax) recognized under GAAP, but not in Core Earnings. The following table rolls forward the cumulative impact to GAAP equity due to these after-tax mark-to-market net gains and losses 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 cash flow 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.

(Dollars in millions) June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022
Total hedged Floor Income, net of tax(1)(2) $ 142 $ 255

(1) $186 million and $334 million on a pre-tax basis as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

(2) Of the $142 million as of June 30, 2023, approximately $46 million, $39 million, $21 million and $18 million will be recognized as part of Core Earnings net income in the remainder of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

(2) Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets: Our Core Earnings exclude goodwill and intangible asset impairment and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The following table summarizes the goodwill and acquired intangible asset adjustments.

2. Tangible Equity and Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio

Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio 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 Loan 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:

(Dollars in millions) June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022
Navient Corporation's stockholders' equity $ 2,930 $ 2,927
Less: Goodwill and acquired intangible assets 700 718
Tangible Equity 2,230 2,209
Less: Equity held for FFELP Loans 204 246

FFELP Loans 40,851 49,214
Adjusted tangible assets $ 24,047 $ 26,133
Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio 8.4 % 7.5 %

3. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Expense (EBITDA)

This measures the operating performance of the Business Processing segment and is used by management and equity investors to monitor operating performance and determine the value of those businesses. EBITDA for the Business Processing segment is calculated as:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions) 2023 2022 2023 2022
Pre-tax income $ 8 $ 13 $ 13 $ 31

(1) There is no interest expense in this segment.

4. Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off

Loans

The allowance for loan losses on the Private Education Loan portfolio used for the three credit metrics below excludes the expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans to better reflect the current expected credit losses remaining in connection with the loans on balance sheet that have not charged off. That is, as of June 30, 2023, the $919 million Private Education Loan allowance for loan losses excluding expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans represents the current expected credit losses that remain in connection with the $17,732 million Private Education Loan portfolio. The $262 million of expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans, which is collected over an average 15-year period, mechanically is a reduction to the overall allowance for loan losses. However, it is not related to the $17,732 million Private Education Loan portfolio on our balance sheet and, as a result, management excludes this impact to the allowance to better evaluate and assess our overall credit loss coverage on the Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this provides a more meaningful and holistic view of the available credit loss coverage on our non-charged-off Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this information is useful to our investors, lenders and rating agencies.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

LIBOR Transition

On June 30, 2023, the LIBOR administrator ceased publication (on a representative basis) of all USD LIBOR rates, including one-month and three-month LIBOR.

In preparation for the transition, we worked internally as well as with external parties to ensure an orderly transition from one-month and three-month LIBOR to an alternative benchmark rate by the June 30, 2023 transition date. We established an internal LIBOR transition team whose purpose was to assess impacts, recommend plans and coordinate transition efforts among different business areas. Executive management and the LIBOR transition team provide quarterly reports to our Board of Directors. We also established internal LIBOR working groups comprised of members from different business areas who met regularly to assess specific business-level impacts and to implement operational changes necessary to effectuate a successful transition from LIBOR. In addition to our enterprise-wide efforts, we engaged with market participants, industry groups and regulators, including the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the ARRC), to develop plans and documentation to facilitate the transition to an alternative benchmark rate.

We worked to align with the ARRC’s recommended best practices for completing the transition from LIBOR. All our new variable rate Private Education Loans issued since December 2021 are indexed to SOFR. Also, as of December 31, 2021, we ceased entering into any other new contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and, where practicable, have engaged with counterparties to modify certain existing contracts to transition the existing reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. With respect to our legacy variable rate Private Education Loans and other financial contracts that reference USD LIBOR and contain fallbacks provisions that clearly specify a method for the transition from LIBOR, we successfully transitioned such loans using such existing fallbacks. We engaged with our IT vendors and impacted internal work groups to prepare and update our systems, procedures and processes to transition LIBOR-indexed contracts to SOFR. With respect to our financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that clearly specify a method for the transition from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark rate, where practicable and commercially reasonable, we made efforts to engage with customers, counterparties and investors to modify such instruments. Due to stringent noteholder consent requirements, it was not practicable to modify certain financial instruments like certain of our ABS. Further, the SAP formula for our FFELP Loans, which is indexed to one-month LIBOR, were not able to be modified without legislative action. Thus, in such instances, we needed to rely on federal legislation to transition to SOFR.

On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the LIBOR Act) was signed into law. The LIBOR Act provides that for contracts that contain no fallback provision or contain fallback provisions that do not identify a specific USD LIBOR benchmark replacement (including the SAP formula for FFELP Loans), a benchmark replacement based on SOFR, as recommended by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will automatically replace the USD LIBOR benchmark in the contract after June 30, 2023. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York adopted a final rule that implements the LIBOR Act by identifying benchmark rates based on SOFR that will replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. Following the enactment and implementation of the LIBOR Act, all of our financial instruments which are currently indexed to USD LIBOR have transitioned, or will transition, to SOFR after June 30, 2023. Specifically, after June 30, 2023, the SAP formula for FFELP Loans will transition to 30-day Average SOFR and our LIBOR-indexed FFELP ABS contracts that are subject to the LIBOR Act will transition to 30-day or 90-day Average SOFR. Our LIBOR-indexed Private Education Loan ABS contracts that are subject to the LIBOR Act will transition to 1-month or 3-month Term SOFR. Similarly, our LIBOR-indexed Private Education Loans will transition to 1-month or 3-month Term SOFR. Our LIBOR-indexed derivatives will transition to the Fallback Rate (SOFR) as defined in the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. on October 23, 2020.

For a discussion of the risks related to the LIBOR transition, see “Risk Factors – Market, Funding & Liquidity Risk – The transition away from the LIBOR reference rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) may create uncertainty in the capital markets and may negatively impact the value of existing LIBOR based financial instruments and our financial results and business” in our Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

Our interest rate risk management seeks to limit the impact of movements in interest rates on our results of operations and financial position. The following tables summarize the potential effect on earnings over the next 12 months and the potential effect on fair values of balance sheet assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023 and 2022, based upon a sensitivity analysis performed by management assuming a hypothetical increase and decrease in market interest rates of 100 basis points. The earnings sensitivities assume an immediate increase and decrease in market interest rates of 100 basis points and are applied only to financial assets and liabilities, including hedging instruments, that existed at the balance sheet date and do not take into account any new assets, liabilities or hedging instruments that may arise over the next 12 months.

A primary objective in our funding is to minimize our sensitivity to changing interest rates by generally funding our floating rate education loan portfolio with floating rate debt and our fixed rate education loan portfolio with fixed rate debt although we can have a mismatch at times. In addition, we can have a mismatch in the index (including the frequency of reset) of floating rate debt versus floating rate assets. In addition, due to the ability of some FFELP Loans to earn Floor Income, we can have a fixed versus floating mismatch in funding if the education loan earns at the fixed borrower rate and the funding remains floating. 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. The result of these hedging transactions is to fix the relative spread between the education loan asset rate and the funding instrument rate.

In the preceding tables, under the scenario where interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the change in pre-tax net income before the mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities is primarily due to the impact of (i) our unhedged FFELP Loans being in a fixed-rate mode due to Floor Income, while being funded with variable rate debt in low interest rate environments; (ii) certain FFELP fixed rate loans becoming variable interest rate loans when variable interest rates rise above a certain level (Special Allowance Payment of “SAP”). When these loans are funded with fixed rate debt (as we do for a portion of the portfolio to economically hedge Floor Income) we earn additional interest income when earning the higher variable rate that is in effect; and (iii) a portion of our variable rate assets being funded with fixed rate liabilities. Item (i) will generally cause income to decrease when interest rates increase and income to increase when interest rates decrease. Item (ii) and (iii) have the opposite effect. The change due to the interest rate scenario where interest rates increase by 100 basis points in the current period is primarily a result of item (ii) having a more significant impact than item (i) as a result of interest rates being significantly higher compared to the prior period. The change due to the interest scenario where interest rates decrease by 100 basis points in the current period is primarily a result of item (i) having a more significant impact (specifically related to the annual reset floors in connection with a portion of the Stafford FFELP loan portfolio) than item (ii) as a result of interest rates being significantly higher compared to the prior period. The relative changes from the prior period are a result of interest rates being significantly lower in the prior period. In addition, item (iii) had more of an impact in the prior period due to a higher balance of variable rate assets being funded with fixed rate liabilities.

In the preceding tables, under the scenario where interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the change in mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities in both periods is primarily due to (i) the notional amount and remaining term of our derivative portfolio and related hedged debt and (ii) the interest rate environment. In both periods, the mark-to-market gains (losses) are primarily related to derivatives that don’t qualify for hedge accounting that are used to economically hedge the origination of fixed rate Private Education Refinance loans. As a result of not qualifying for hedge accounting, there is not an offsetting mark- to-market of the hedged item in this analysis.

In addition to interest rate risk addressed in the preceding tables, we are also exposed to risks related to foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange risk is primarily the result of foreign currency denominated debt issued by us. When we issue foreign denominated corporate unsecured and securitization debt, our policy is to use cross currency interest rate swaps to swap all foreign currency denominated debt payments (fixed and floating) to USD LIBOR using a fixed exchange rate. In the tables above, there would be an immaterial impact on earnings if exchange rates were to decrease or increase, due to the terms of the hedging instrument and hedged items matching. The balance sheet interest-bearing liabilities would be affected by a change in exchange rates; however, the change would be materially offset by the cross-currency interest rate swaps in other assets or other liabilities. In certain economic environments, volatility in the spread between spot and forward foreign exchange rates has resulted in mark-to-market impacts to current period earnings which have not been factored into the above analysis. The earnings impact is noncash, and at maturity of the instruments the cumulative mark-to-market impact will be zero. Navient has not issued foreign currency denominated debt since 2008.

Asset and Liability Funding Gap

The table below presents our assets and liabilities (funding) arranged by underlying indices as of June 30, 2023. Management analyzes interest rate risk and in doing so includes all derivatives that are economically hedging our debt whether they qualify as effective hedges or not (Core Earnings basis). Accordingly, we present the asset and liability funding gap on a Core Earnings basis. The difference between the asset and the funding is the funding gap for the specified index. This represents our exposure to interest rate risk in the form of basis risk and repricing risk, which is the risk that the different indices may reset at different frequencies or may not move in the same direction or at the same magnitude.

Index<br>(Dollars in billions) Frequency of<br>Variable<br>Resets Assets Funding(1) Funding<br>Gap
3-month Treasury bill weekly $ 2.1 $ $ 2.1
3-month Treasury bill annual .1 .1

Total $ 65.7 $ 65.7 $

(1) Funding (by index) includes all derivatives that management considers economic hedges of interest rate risk and reflects how we internally manage our interest rate exposure.

(2) Have transitioned, or will transition, to SOFR after June 30, 2023. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – LIBOR Transition" for further discussion.

(3) Funding includes loan repurchase facilities.

(4) Funding consists of auction rate ABS and ABCP facilities.

(5) Assets include restricted and unrestricted cash equivalents and other overnight type instruments. Funding includes the obligation to return cash collateral held related to derivatives exposures.

(6) Assets include receivables and other assets (including goodwill and acquired intangibles). Funding includes other liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

We use interest rate swaps and other derivatives to achieve our risk management objectives. Our asset liability management strategy is to match assets with debt (in combination with derivatives) that have the same underlying index and reset frequency or, when economical, have interest rate characteristics that we believe are highly correlated. Interest earned on our FFELP Loans is primarily indexed to daily one-month LIBOR and our cost of funds is primarily indexed to rates other than daily one-month LIBOR. A source of variability in FFELP net interest income could also be Floor Income we earn on certain FFELP Loans. Pursuant to the terms of the FFELP, certain FFELP Loans can earn interest at the stated fixed rate of interest as underlying debt interest rate expense remains variable. We refer to this additional spread income as “Floor Income.” Floor Income can be volatile since it is dependent on interest rate levels. We frequently hedge this volatility to lock in the value of the Floor Income over the term of the contract. Interest earned on our Private Education Refinance Loans is generally fixed rate with the related cost of funds generally fixed rate as well. Interest earned on the remaining Private Education Loans is generally indexed to either one-month Prime or LIBOR rates and our cost of funds is primarily indexed to one-month or three-month LIBOR. The use of funding with index types and reset frequencies that are different from our assets exposes us to interest rate risk in the form of basis and repricing risk. This could result in our cost of funds not moving in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the yield on our assets. While we believe this risk is low, as all of these indices are short-term with rate movements that are highly correlated over a long period of time, market disruptions (which have occurred in prior years) can lead to a temporary divergence between indices resulting in a negative impact to our earnings. See previous discussion at "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – LIBOR Transition" regarding the transition of the LIBOR indexed instruments to SOFR after June 30, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information at June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2023 and 2022 is unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements of Navient have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navient and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and those Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) for which we are the primary beneficiary, after eliminating the effects of intercompany accounts and transactions. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other period. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the 2022 Form 10-K). Definitions for certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q can be found in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective in 2020 and Forward

Rate Reform

In March 2020 (and as amended in December 2022), the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional temporary relief for companies who are preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The ASU provides companies with guidance in the form of expedients and exceptions related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the burden of and simplify the accounting associated with transitioning away from LIBOR. Modifications of qualifying contracts are accounted for as the continuation of an existing contract rather than as a new contract. Modifications of qualifying hedging relationships will not require discontinuation of the existing hedge accounting relationships. One-month and three-month LIBOR have been discontinued as of June 30, 2023. Our hedging instruments that were indexed to one-month and three-month LIBOR are now indexed to SOFR. There is $12 billion of debt as of June 30, 2023, that is in either a fair value or cash flow hedge relationship using LIBOR swaps. We used the hedge accounting expedients in this ASU when those swaps transitioned to SOFR. As a result, these hedges did not result in the discontinuation of the existing hedge accounting relationships.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” which eliminates the troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) recognition and measurement guidance and instead requires an entity to evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance was effective on January 1, 2023. Prior to adopting this new guidance on January 1, 2023, as it relates to interest rate concessions granted as part of our Private Education Loan modification program, a discounted cash flow model was used to calculate the amount of interest forgiven for loans that were in the program and the present value of that interest rate concession was included as a part of the allowance for loan loss. This new guidance no longer allows the measurement and recognition of this element of our allowance for loan loss for new modifications that occur subsequent to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan loss included $77 million related to this interest rate concession component of the allowance for loan loss. We elected to adopt this amendment using a prospective transition method which results in the $77 million releasing in 2023 and 2024 as the borrowers exit their current modification programs. $60 million of the $77 million was released in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

(1) Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire defaulted loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as "expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans." For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge-off.

(2) At the end of each month, for Private Education Loans that are 212 days past due, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans.” If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately reflected as a reduction to expected future recoveries on previously fully 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 previously fully charged-off loans:

Private Education Loans

The key credit quality indicators are credit scores (FICO scores), loan status, loan seasoning, certain loan modifications, the existence of a cosigner and school type. The FICO score is the higher of the borrower or co-borrower score and is updated at least every six months while school type is assessed at origination. The other Private Education Loan key quality indicators are updated quarterly.

2. Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

We adjust the terms of Private Education Loans for certain borrowers when we believe such changes will help our customers better manage their student loan obligations, achieve better outcomes and increase the collectability of the loans. These changes generally take the form of a temporary interest rate reduction, a temporary forbearance of payments, a temporary interest only payment, and a temporary interest rate reduction with a permanent extension of the loan term. The effect of modifications of loans made to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance. The model design predicts borrowers that will have financial difficulty in the future and require loan modification and increased life of loan default risk.

Under our current forbearance practices, temporary hardship forbearance of payments generally cannot exceed 12 months over the life of the loan. However, exceptions can be made in cases where borrowers have shown the ability to make a substantial number of monthly principal and interest payments and in those cases borrowers can be granted up to 24 months of hardship forbearance over the life of the loan. We offer other administrative forbearances (e.g., death and disability, bankruptcy, military service, and disaster forbearance) that are either required by law (such as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) or are considered separate from our active loss mitigation programs and therefore are not considered to be loan modifications requiring disclosure under ASU No. 2022-02.

FFELP loans are at least 97 percent guaranteed as to their principal and accrued interest by the federal government in the event of default and, therefore, we do not deem FFELP loans as nonperforming from a credit risk perspective at any point in their life cycle prior to claim payment and continue to accrue interest on those loans through the date of claim. Further, FFELP loan modification events are either legal entitlements subject to regulatory-driven eligibility criteria or addressed in the promissory note terms, so we do not consider these events as a component of our loan modification programs.

The following tables show the amortized cost basis as of June 30, 2023 of the loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Prior to our adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, we accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. Certain Private Education Loans for which we have granted either a forbearance of greater than three months, an interest rate reduction or an extended repayment plan were classified as TDRs.

The following table provides the amount of loans modified in the period presented that resulted in a TDR. Additionally, the table summarizes charge-offs occurring in the TDR portfolio, as well as TDRs for which a payment default occurred in the current period within 12 months of the loan first being designated as a TDR. We define payment default as 60 days past due for this disclosure.

The above fair values include adjustments when necessary for counterparty credit risk for both when we are exposed to the counterparty, net of collateral postings, and when the counterparty is exposed to us, net of collateral postings. The net adjustments decreased the asset position at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by $4 million and $6 million, respectively. In addition, the above fair values reflect adjustments for illiquid derivatives as indicated by a wide bid/ask spread in the interest rate indices to which the derivatives are indexed. These adjustments decreased the overall net asset positions at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by $1 million and $1 million, respectively.

8. Fair Value Measurements

We use estimates of fair value in applying various accounting standards in our financial statements. We categorize our fair value estimates based on a hierarchical framework associated with three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The fair value of the items discussed below are separately disclosed in this footnote.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant transfers of financial instruments between levels, or changes in our methodology used to value our financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments that are marked-to-market on a recurring basis. During the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, there were no significant transfers of financial instruments between levels.

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to various claims, lawsuits and other actions that arise in the normal course of business. We believe that these claims, lawsuits and other actions will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, except as otherwise disclosed. Most of these matters are claims including individual and class action lawsuits against our servicing or business processing subsidiaries alleging the violation of state or federal laws in connection with servicing or collection activities on their education loans and other debts.

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company and our subsidiaries and affiliates receive information and document requests and investigative demands from various entities including State Attorneys General, U.S. Attorneys, legislative committees, individual members of Congress and administrative agencies. These requests may be informational, regulatory or enforcement in nature and may relate to our business practices, the industries in which we operate, or companies with whom we conduct business. Generally, our practice has been and continues to be to cooperate with these bodies and to be responsive to any such requests.

The number of these inquiries and the volume of related information demands have normalized at elevated levels and therefore the Company must continue to expend time and resources to timely respond to these requests which may, depending on their outcome, result in payments of restitution, fines and penalties.

Certain Cases

In January 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB) and Attorneys General for the State of Illinois and the State of Washington initiated civil actions naming Navient Corporation and several of its subsidiaries as defendants alleging violations of certain Federal and State consumer protection statutes, including the CFPA, FCRA, FDCPA and various state consumer protection laws. The Attorneys General for the States of Pennsylvania, California, Mississippi, and New Jersey also initiated actions against the Company and certain subsidiaries alleging violations of various state and federal consumer protection laws based upon similar alleged acts or failures to act. In addition to these matters, a number of lawsuits have been filed by nongovernmental parties or, in the future, may be filed by additional governmental or nongovernmental parties seeking damages or other remedies related to similar issues raised by the CFPB and the State Attorneys General. In January 2022, we entered into a series of Consent Judgment and Orders (the “Agreements”) with 40 State Attorneys General to resolve all matters in dispute related to the State Attorneys General cases as well as the related investigations, subpoenas, civil investigative demands and inquiries from various other state regulators. These Agreements do not resolve the litigation involving the Company and the CFPB.

As the Company has previously stated, we believe the allegations in the CFPB suit are false and that they improperly seek to impose penalties on Navient based on new, previously unannounced servicing standards applied retroactively against only one servicer. We therefore have denied these allegations and are vigorously defending against the allegations in that case. At this point in time, it is reasonably possible that a loss contingency exists; however, the Company is unable to anticipate the timing of a resolution or the impact that an adverse ruling in the CFPB case may have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, results of operation or cash flows. As a result, it is not possible at this time to estimate a range of potential exposure, if any, for amounts that may be payable in connection with this matter and reserves have not been established. It is possible that an adverse ruling or rulings may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

On April 12, 2023, the Company reached an agreement in principle (“Settlement”) with certain plaintiffs for a nationwide settlement of claims raised in the following bankruptcy adversary actions: Coyle v. Navient Solutions, LLC, No. 22-80018 (Bankr. W.D. Mich.); Homaidan v. SLM Corp., No. 1:17-ap-01085 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y.); Mazloom v. Navient Solutions, LLC, No. 20-80033-6 (Bankr. N.D.N.Y.); and Woodard v. Navient Solutions, LLC, No. 08-81442 (Bankr. D. Neb.) collectively referred to as the “Bankruptcy Cases.” This settlement in principle is subject, among other things, to final documentation and final court approval. Under the Settlement, Navient will forego the collection of defined balances for borrowers or co-borrowers of certain private loans — all of which were originated prior to our company separation — who have received a discharge in bankruptcy during the periods covered by the agreements. As a result, we recorded $23 million additional private loan provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2023 related to the estimated future charge offs that are expected to occur. The Company has also agreed to fund settlement funds. It anticipates that any cash contribution it will be required to make to these funds will not exceed $44 million in the aggregate and will be fully covered by insurance. The net impact to operating expense for this element of the settlement for the first quarter of 2023 was $0 due to the accrual of the offsetting insurance reimbursements.

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)

Regulatory Matters

The Company has been named as defendant in a number of putative class action cases alleging violations of various state and federal consumer protection laws including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (CFPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), in adversarial proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and various state consumer protection laws. At this point in time, the Company is unable to anticipate the timing of a resolution or the impact that these legal proceedings may have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, results of operation or cash flows. As a result, it is not possible at this time to estimate a range of potential exposure, if any, for amounts that may be payable in connection with these matters and reserves have not been established. It is possible that an adverse ruling or rulings may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

In addition, Navient and its subsidiaries are subject to examination or regulation by various federal regulatory, state licensing or other regulatory agencies as part of its ordinary course of business including the SEC, CFPB, FFIEC and ED. Items or matters similar to or different from those described above may arise during the course of those examinations. We also routinely receive inquiries or requests from various regulatory entities or bodies or government agencies concerning our business or our assets. Generally, the Company endeavors to cooperate with each such inquiry or request. The Company has received separate CIDs or subpoenas from multiple State Attorneys General that are similar to the CIDs or subpoenas that preceded the lawsuits referenced above. Those CIDs and subpoenas have been resolved as part of the Company’s settlement with the State Attorneys General. Nevertheless, we have and, in the future, may receive additional CIDs or subpoenas and other inquiries from these or other Attorneys General with respect to similar or different matters.

Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement between the Company and SLM BankCo, Navient agreed to indemnify SLM BankCo for claims, actions, damages, losses or expenses that may arise from the conduct of activities of pre-Spin-Off SLM BankCo occurring prior to the Spin-Off other than those specifically excluded in that agreement. Also, as part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, SLM BankCo agreed to indemnify Navient for certain claims, actions, damages, losses or expenses subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in that agreement. As a result, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in that agreement, Navient agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Sallie Mae and its subsidiaries, including Sallie Mae Bank from liabilities arising out of the regulatory matters and CFPB and State Attorneys General lawsuits mentioned above. In addition, we asserted various claims for indemnification against Sallie Mae and Sallie Mae Bank for such specifically excluded items arising out of the CFPB and the State Attorneys General lawsuits if and to the extent any indemnified liabilities exist now or in the future. Navient has no reserves related to indemnification matters with SLM BankCo as of June 30, 2023.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings may be based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, employment and other laws. In certain of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damage are asserted against us and our subsidiaries. We and our subsidiaries are also subject to potential unasserted claims by third parties.

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are subject to regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries and investigations. In connection with formal and informal inquiries in these cases, we and our subsidiaries receive requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of our regulated activities.

We are required to establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters where those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. When loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable, we do not establish reserves.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters, we may not be able to predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing or the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties, if any, related to each pending matter may be.

Based on current knowledge, reserves have been established for certain litigation, regulatory matters, and unasserted contract claims where the loss is both probable and estimable. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies, if any, arising from pending investigations, litigation or regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed.

11. Segment Reporting

We monitor and assess our ongoing operations and results based on the following four reportable operating segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending, Business Processing and Other.

These segments meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable operating segments. Accordingly, the results of operations of these reportable operating segments are presented separately. The underlying operating segments are used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to manage the business, review operating performance and allocate resources, and qualify to be aggregated as part of the primary reportable operating segments. As discussed further below, we measure the profitability of our operating segments based on Core Earnings net income. Accordingly, information regarding our reportable operating segments net income is provided on a Core Earnings basis.

Federal Education Loans Segment

Navient owns FFELP Loans and performs servicing on this portfolio. We also service FFELP Loans owned by other institutions. Our servicing quality, data-driven strategies and omnichannel education about federal repayment options translate into positive results for the millions of borrowers we serve. We generate revenue primarily through net interest income on our FFELP Loans and servicing-related fee income.

The following table includes asset information for our Federal Education Loans segment.

(Dollars in millions) June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
FFELP Loans, net $ 40,851 $ 43,525
Cash and investments(1) 1,484 2,746
Other 2,147 2,229
Total assets $ 44,482 $ 48,500

(1) Includes restricted cash and investments.

Consumer Lending Segment

Navient owns, originates and services in-school and refinance Private Education Loans. "In-school" Private Education Loans are loans originally made to borrowers while they are attending school whereas "Refinance" Private Education Loans are loans where a borrower has refinanced their education loans. We generate revenue primarily through net interest income on our Private Education Loan portfolio.

Navient helps students and families through the going-to and paying-for-college journey. Our digital tools empower people to find grants and scholarships, compare financial aid offers and complete the FAFSA. Our Private Education Loans offer easy-to-understand payment options. After graduation, we offer student loan refinancing to help people simplify their repayment and earn a better rate. We believe our 50 years of experience, product design, digital marketing strategies, and origination and servicing platform provide a unique competitive advantage.

Business Processing Segment

Navient provides business processing solutions such as omnichannel contact center services, workflow processing, and revenue cycle optimization. We leverage the same expertise and intelligent tools we use to deliver successful results for portfolios we own. Our support enables our clients to ensure better constituent outcomes, meet rapidly changing needs, improve technology, reduce operating expenses, manage risk and optimize revenue opportunities. Our clients include:

• Government: We offer our solutions to federal agencies, state governments, tolling and parking authorities, and other public sector clients.

Other Segment

This segment consists of our corporate liquidity portfolio, gains and losses incurred on the repurchase of debt, unallocated expenses of shared services (which includes regulatory expenses) and restructuring/other reorganization expenses.

Unallocated shared services expenses are comprised of costs primarily related to information technology costs related to infrastructure and operations, stock-based compensation expense, accounting, finance, legal, compliance and risk management, regulatory-related expenses, human resources, certain executive management and the board of directors. Regulatory-related expenses include actual settlement amounts as well as third-party professional fees we incur in connection with such regulatory matters and are presented net of any insurance reimbursements for covered costs related to such matters.

11. Segment Reporting (Continued)

Measure of Profitability

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 Core Earnings disclosure 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.

(1) 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 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.

(2) Goodwill and acquired intangible assets: Our Core Earnings exclude goodwill and intangible asset impairment and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

(3) Net tax effect: Such tax effect is based upon our Core Earnings effective tax rate for the year.
