COMPANY HISTORY Since 1989, MIAC has built mortgage-pricing mod- els for whole loans and MSRs. In the early 1990s; MIAC pioneered the hedging of MSRs by leveraging Option-Adjusted Spread risk models. In the early 2000s, MIAC became the market leader in secondary market hedge advisory services and analytical software. After the financial crisis, MIAC leveraged historical loan performance data to build behavioral models (Core TM ) that are integrated into Vision TM , Balance Sheet/Income Statement simulation suite. MIAC Analytics TM also offers residential, commercial, and consumer loan due diligence services leveraging our VeriFi TM due diligence management solution in tandem with MSR and whole-loan brokerage activities. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MIAC Analytics offers Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) solutions and Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) stress testing. BUSINESS LINES, SERVICES, AND PRODUCTS • MIAC Analytics–a comprehensive suite of software solutions from loan-level due diligence and data auditing to asset pricing calculators to entire balance sheet and income statement simulation • Provides the largest independent third-party valuations for residential and commercial mortgages and MSRs • MSR and whole-loan brokerage services. • Loan file due diligence services and project management solutions • State-of-the-art CECL and CCAR solutions, either fully outsourced or software licensing solutions. • Independent Risk Retention Analysis on new securitizations COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE To competitors, CECL is a new initiative requiring them to build their capabilities from scratch. To MIAC, CECL is what the company has been doing as the best in class since MIAC's founding over 28 years ago. MIAC has built and used its own loan credit models (Core™) in order to provide third-party pricing of loans. Providing a valuation of a residen- tial mortgage, consumer loan, or auto loan requires a robust estimate of each loan's current expected credit loss and cash flow generation through a variety of economic scenarios. MIAC is far and away the largest provider of third- party pricing/valuation services of loans in the in- dustry today. MIAC has developed and validated an open and transparent process software, methods and results. These are the requirements of best-in- class CECL solutions. ADDED VALUE TO CLIENTS MIAC Analytics is used to price more mortgage and loan assets in the banking, insurance and nonbank- ing sectors than any other software. The company's pricing models have been developed with an enor- mous amount of national historical loan performance data and MIAC Analytics software tools. MIAC's models and our software have been vali- dated through formal OCC compliant model valida- tions for over 20 years. These are the same tools the CECL users will be required to use regularly to reforecast the current expected credit loss. KEYS TO YOUR SUCCESS The primary reason MIAC Analytics is so successful is that MIAC uses MIAC Analytics to perform valua- tion tasks. MIAC Analytics is continually being put to the test to address real world problems in forecast- ing current expected credit loss and is continually enhancing MIAC Analytics to make the tools more effective in their purpose. The largest and most challenging user of MIAC Analytics is MIAC. Yes, the largest financial institu- tions license and use MIAC Analytics for asset pricing and balance sheet risk management, but the intimate and regular contact between user and developers, combined with tight adherence to formal software development and release procedures en- able MIAC Analytics to continue to be best in class.
