PHH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RECORD RESULTS;
10 CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS OF RISING EARNINGS
Full Year Net Income up 14%, Earnings Per Share Up 12%
HUNT VALLEY, MARYLAND, May 23, 1994--PHH Corporation (NYSE:PHH) today
reported record net income, earnings per share, and revenues for the year
ended April 30, 1994. Net income increased 14 percent to $64.6 million
compared with $56.4 million for the prior year. Earnings per share increased
12 percent to $3.64 up from $3.25 for the prior year. Worldwide revenues
increased 6 percent to $2.1 billion from $2.0 billion.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, net income was $18.2 million,
earnings per share were $1.03, and revenues were $533.9 million.
"We are extremely proud of our accomplishments in fiscal 1994 and
continuing our trend of 10 consecutive increases in quarterly earnings," said
PHH Chairman and CEO Robert D. Kunisch. "We achieved our stated growth
objectives, increased the number of new client signings and introduced many
new and enhanced productivity services to the marketplace."
MORTGAGE BANKING HAS BEST YEAR
In discussing the Company's results, Kunisch said, "By every standard, it
was a banner year for our mortgage banking services segment. At year-end, our
servicing portfolio stood at $16.6 billion, a fifty percent increase over last
year. This portfolio, with its high quality loans, provides us with an
excellent long-term earnings stream. Loan originations were up 15 percent, and
closings were up 44 percent over the comparable period last year." Kunisch
added, "As anticipated, we are seeing a slowdown in refinancing activity
because of rising interest rates. We expect this to be offset by expanding new
customer groups and broadening our activities with affinity groups,
corporations and our supplier networks. These efforts, coupled with the fact
that we are beginning FY95 with a fifty percent larger servicing portfolio
mean this business segment will remain a major contributor to earnings."

VEHICLE MANAGEMENT POSTS SOLID EARNINGS GROWTH
Commenting on the vehicle management business, Kunisch said, "Gains from
strong management fee growth and additional income from new automotive
services fee-based products helped produce operating income gains from this
business unit. North American operations exceeded our expectations and
produced strong results. This unit is benefiting from our efforts toward
becoming a broader transaction-based vehicle management services company. In
the United Kingdom, results declined as our clients faced continuing pressure
from the economy. In Germany, losses were comparable to last year but we are
beginning to see a number of positive signs of improvement. Overall we expect
this business unit to continue to show good growth in the coming fiscal year."
CORPORATE DOWNSIZINGS IMPACT RELOCATION AND REAL ESTATE
Reporting on the relocation and real estate services segment, Kunisch
noted, "Results for the year were substantially below prior year. This major
shortfall in profits came from steps undertaken this year to integrate our
Canadian acquisition and refocus and realign our relocation business segment
to meet a changing marketplace. We have taken steps to significantly improve
cost efficiency, unbundle our traditional products, and aggressively expand
our destination services and other fee-based real estate products. "
OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL 1995
Kunisch concluded, "In fiscal 1995, we expect another excellent year from
our vehicle management business aided by significant improvements in Europe.
We likewise, expect good recovery performance from our relocation and real
estate services business reflecting the results of our cost reduction actions
and expanded asset management volume in handling foreclosed properties for the
financial services industry. We expect growth in fiscal 1995 to be more evenly
distributed over our three business segments than in recent years, thereby
enabling us to again meet our stated growth objectives."
