FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "projects", "estimates", "plans", "may increase", "may fluctuate" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.

You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.    Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
PHH Corporation
Parsippany, New Jersey

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, as of March 31, 2004, and the related consolidated condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion (which included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the adoption of the consolidation provisions for variable interest entities in 2003, the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2002, and the modification of the accounting treatment relating to securitization transactions and the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities in 2001, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.    Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 1, 2004. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.

We are a provider of mortgage, relocation and fleet management services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation. Our Mortgage Services segment provides home buyers with mortgage services; our Relocation Services segment facilitates employee relocations; and our Fleet Management Services segment provides commercial fleet management and fuel card services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—FIRST QUARTER 2004 VS. FIRST QUARTER 2003

Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as net income before non-program related depreciation and amortization and income taxes. In fourth quarter 2003, we began to measure the performance of our mortgage and relocation services businesses separate and apart from one another. Therefore, the information presented below for 2003 has been revised to present our mortgage and relocation services businesses as separate segments. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Mortgage Services
As expected, revenues and EBITDA declined significantly in first quarter 2004 due to a slow-down in refinancing activity compared with first quarter 2003. Revenues and EBITDA decreased $116 million (43%) and $96 million (99%), respectively, in first quarter 2004 compared with first quarter 2003.

Revenues from mortgage loan production declined $171 million (58%) in first quarter 2004 compared with first quarter 2003 substantially due to a significant quarter-over-quarter reduction in refinancing levels, as well as lower margins on loan sales. This decline was partially offset by a $48 million increase in revenues from mortgage servicing activities. Refinancing activity is especially sensitive to the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes. Refinancing volumes typically increase when interest rates are falling (such as in the last half of 2002 and the first half of 2003) and slow when interest rates rise (such as in last half of 2003 into first quarter 2004). Furthermore, there is a timing difference between when a borrower makes an application to refinance their loan and when we recognize revenues upon closing or securitization of that loan. Borrower refinance applications are based on the relative interest rates and are an early indicator of loan closings and securitizations. Mortgage interest rates were generally declining through fourth quarter 2002 into first quarter 2003, which drove applications throughout the same period. This resulted in more loan closings and securitizations in first quarter 2003. However, interest rates were generally higher in fourth quarter 2003 and the early part of first quarter 2004; thus we did not experience the same carryover into first quarter 2004 as we experienced in first quarter 2003. This factor, along with increased competitive pricing pressures, caused revenue from mortgage loan production to decrease.

The decline in revenues from mortgage loan production was the result of a 48% reduction in the volume of loans that we sold and a 28% reduction in the volume of loans closed within our fee based mortgage origination operations. We sold $6.6 billion of mortgage loans in first quarter 2004 compared with $12.7 billion in first quarter 2003, which resulted in a reduction

13


of $153 million (71%) in production revenues. In addition, revenues from our fee-based mortgage-origination activity declined $18 million (23%) as compared with first quarter 2003. Production revenue on fee-based loans is generated at the time of closing, whereas originated mortgage loans held for sale generate revenue at the time we sell the loans (generally within 60 days after closing). Accordingly, our production revenue in any given period is driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Total mortgage loans closed declined $6.6 billion (37%) to $11.3 billion in first quarter 2004, comprised of a $5.0 billion (41%) reduction in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $1.6 billion (28%) reduction in closed loans that were fee-based. Although we experienced a decline in total mortgage refinancing activity, purchase mortgage closings increased $695 million (11%) to $6.8 billion in first quarter 2004.

Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans increased $48 million primarily due to $108 million of incremental derivative gains, partially offset by an increase of $67 million in amortization expense and provision for impairment related to our MSR asset, which reflects a change in our hedge accounting policy. This change in policy resulted in the discontinuation of hedge accounting whereby the reduction in the fair value of the MSR asset was recorded as additional provision for impairment during first quarter 2004, rather than an adjustment to the basis of the MSR asset under hedge accounting. This change in hedge accounting policy had no effect on revenues or EBITDA. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion regarding this change in hedge accounting policy. The incremental gains from derivative activities resulted from our strategies to protect earnings in the event there was a decline in the value of our MSR asset, which is predominately caused by fluctuations in interest rates, which tends to impact borrower prepayment activity. In addition, fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolio increased $12 million (11%) driven by a 15% period-over-period increase in the average servicing portfolio, which rose to $133.2 billion in first quarter 2004.

Operating expenses within this segment declined $20 million in first quarter 2004 due to a lesser amount of direct costs incurred in connection with the decline in mortgage loan production.

Although no assurances can be given, we continue to expect that the comparison of our Mortgage Services segment results will improve in relation to first quarter comparisons.

Relocation Services
Revenues decreased $2 million (2%), while EBITDA remained flat, in first quarter 2004 compared with first quarter 2003. The decrease in revenue principally reflects a change in accounting presentation, which benefited first quarter 2003 revenues (with no impact on EBITDA) and comparatively resulted in a revenue decline versus first quarter 2004. Such decrease was partially offset by higher revenues generated by increased relocation volume during first quarter 2004. Operating and administrative expenses also increased primarily as a result of higher employee costs in the first quarter 2004.

Fleet Management Services
Revenues and EBITDA increased $17 million (5%) and $3 million (10%), respectively, in first quarter 2004 compared with first quarter 2003. In first quarter 2004, we completed the acquisition of First Fleet Corporation, a national provider of fleet management services to companies that maintain private truck fleets. The operating results of First Fleet were included from the acquisition date forward and contributed incremental revenues of $7 million with a minimal EBITDA impact in first quarter 2004. Apart from the impact of this acquisition, revenues and EBITDA for this segment increased $10 million and $3 million, respectively, principally reflecting organic growth in our fuel card services subsidiary, Wright Express, which was driven by a combination of the addition of new customers and an increase in usage of our fuel card services business' proprietary fuel card product.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We present separately the financial data of our management and mortgage programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities as the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. Specifically, assets under management and mortgage programs are funded through either borrowings under asset-backed funding arrangements or unsecured borrowings. Such borrowings are classified as debt under management and mortgage programs. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our management and mortgage programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our management and mortgage programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing activities, as well as available funding arrangements and committed credit facilities, each of which is discussed below.

CASH FLOWS
At March 31, 2004, we had $253 million of cash on hand, an increase of $147 million from $106 million at December 31, 2003. The following table summarizes such increase:

Effects of exchange rate changes     (4 )   (2 )   (2 )
   
 
 
 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents   $ 147   $ 43   $ 104  
   
 
 
 

During first quarter 2004, we generated $307 million less cash from operating activities as compared with the same period in 2003. This change principally reflects the activities of our management and mortgage programs, which produced less cash inflows in first quarter 2004, and weaker operating results. Cash flows related to our management and mortgage programs may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of the underlying management and mortgage program transactions (i.e., timing of mortgage loan origination versus sale).

During first quarter 2004, we used $177 million less cash in investing activities as compared with the same period in 2003. This change principally reflects (i) greater cash inflows relating to our mortgage servicing rights asset and related derivatives ($147 million), (ii) a decrease of $163 million in program cash related principally to the repayment of $350 million of debt issued by Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust, partially offset by the receipt of cash by Bishop's Gate on the sale of previously originated mortgage loans and (iii) greater cash inflows relating to our relocation receivables ($31 million). Partially offsetting these changes are (i) an additional $95 million used during first quarter 2004 to grow our lease fleet and (ii) a reduction of $44 million in proceeds received on the sale of real estate in the normal course of our mortgage business. Capital expenditures, which were consistent period-over-period, are anticipated to approximate $65 million for 2004.

We used $236 million less cash in financing activities during first quarter 2004 as compared with the same period in 2003 principally reflecting a net decrease of $166 million in repayments of debt under management and mortgage programs during first quarter 2004. In addition, net intercompany funding from Cendant increased $67 million.

(d)
The outstanding debt is collateralized by $502 million of underlying relocation receivables and $14 million of program cash.

We also had an additional $874 million of availability for public debt issuances under a shelf registration statement.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in any one of the industries in which we operate. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to management and mortgage programs could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs and (ii) our inability to access the secondary market for mortgage loans or certain of our securitization facilities and our inability to act as servicer thereto, which could occur in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade and, in certain circumstances, where we fail to meet certain financial ratios. Further, access to our credit facilities may be limited if we were to fail to meet certain financial ratios. We do not believe that our credit ratings are likely to fall below investment grade. Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial ratios and, as of March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material credit and securitization facilities.

Currently our credit ratings are as follows:

 
  Moody's
Investor
Service

  Standard
& Poor's

  Fitch
Ratings

Senior debt   Baa1   BBB+   BBB+
Short-term debt   P-2   A-2   F-2

16


Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch have all assigned a "stable outlook" to our senior debt. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of March 31, 2004, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any changes to our obligations related to debt under management and mortgage programs are presented above within the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Obligations" and also within Note 5 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The majority of our businesses operate in environments where we are paid a fee for a service performed. Therefore, the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" of our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results (mortgage servicing rights, financial instruments and goodwill). There have not been any significant changes to those accounting policies or to our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical accounting policies.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 9, 2004, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105—Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments ("SAB 105"). SAB 105 summarizes the views of the SEC staff regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. The SEC staff believes that in recognizing a loan commitment, entities should not consider expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan until the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with the servicing retained. The provisions of SAB 105 are applicable to all loan commitments accounted for as derivatives and entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position, as our current accounting treatment for such loan commitments is consistent with the provisions of SAB 105.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As previously discussed in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest rates. We used March 31, 2004 interest rates to perform this sensitivity analysis. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
