TABLE OF CONTENTS
Organization of Our Form 10-Q
The order and presentation of content in our Form 10-Q differs from the traditional Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q format. Our format is designed to improve readability and to better present how we organize and manage our business. See Appendix A, "Form 10-Q Cross-Reference Index" for a cross-reference index to the traditional SEC Form 10-Q format.
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 on Navient and its impact 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 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 which 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 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 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; |
| • | 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 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 corresponds to our segment financial presentations, 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 non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Core Earnings, Tangible Equity, Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio, Pro forma Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio, and Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Expense (EBITDA) (for the Business Processing segment). 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.

With a focus on data-driven insights, service, compliance and innovative support, Navient’s business consists of:
We own a portfolio of $49.2 billion of federally guaranteed Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) Loans. We service and provide asset recovery services on this portfolio and for third parties, deploying 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.
We own, service and originate Private Education Loans that enable people to pursue higher education and improve their economic opportunities. Our $19.7 billion private loan portfolio demonstrates high customer success rates. We help people simplify their finances through student loan refinancing, and we help families finance their higher education through transparent, affordable Private Education Loans. In the second quarter of 2022, we originated $420 million in Private Education Loans.
We provide business processing solutions for more than 600 public sector and healthcare organizations, and their tens of millions of clients, patients, and constituents. Our suite of solutions and customer experience expertise enable our clients to focus on their missions, optimize their cash flow and deliver essential services, while helping those they serve successfully navigate complex programs, transactions and decisions. For each client, we customize a blend of technologies to deliver personalized, omnichannel communication experiences; machine learning automation; root-cause business analytics; secure cloud computing; and intelligent customer relationship platforms.
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, simplified service and innovative solutions.
• | Scalable, data-driven solutions. Annually, we support tens of millions of people in conducting hundreds of millions of transactions and interactions. Designed using configurable architecture, our systems are built for scale and rapid implementation. We harness the power of data to build tailored programs that optimize our clients’ results. |
We leverage our omnichannel communication platform, predictive analytics, and decades of insight to stay in touch with people and address challenges that may arise.
Using technology-enabled solutions, we have rapidly staffed, trained, and activated several call centers with thousands of remote staff for clients needing urgent support, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Across all our businesses, we use real-time dashboards and data visualization tools to monitor performance metrics and identify, track, and address trends and opportunities.

• | 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 – including healthcare, tax, and transportation programs – to help constituents understand and meet their obligations. |
• | Improve 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. |
| o | Repayment plan education and outreach: We help student loan borrowers understand their repayment options so they can make informed choices that align with their financial circumstances and goals. |
| o | Office of the Customer Advocate: Our Office of the Customer Advocate, established in 1997, offers escalated assistance to customers. We are committed to working with customers and appreciate customer comments, which, combined with our own customer communication channels, help us improve the ways we assist our customers. |
| o | Private loan modification program: In 2009, we pioneered the creation of a loan modification program to help Private Education Loan borrowers needing additional assistance. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $890 million of our Private Education Loans were enrolled in this interest rate reduction program, helping customers through more affordable monthly payments while making progress in repaying their principal loan balance. |
| o | Serving military customers: Navient was the first student loan servicer to launch a dedicated military benefits customer service team, website (Navient.com/military) and toll-free number. Navient’s military benefits team supports service members and their families to access the benefits designed for them, including interest rate benefits, deferment and other options. |
| o | Financial literacy: We offer free resources, including videos, articles and online tools, to help customers and the general public build knowledge on personal finance topics. Our Going Merry platform enables students to match to and apply for scholarships, institutional aid and government grants. |
• | Commitment to compliance. Our rigorous compliance posture ensures adherence with laws and regulations and helps protect our clients, customers, employees and shareholders. 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. |

• | Deliver superior performance. Whether supporting student loan borrowers in successfully managing their loans, designing and implementing new constituent-facing services for public sector agencies, generating additional revenue for hospitals and medical systems, or helping a state manage communication backlogs or recover revenue that funds essential services, Navient delivers value for our clients and customers. |
We leverage our experience, data-driven insights, customer service skills, technology and scale to maximize value for our clients.
• | Corporate Social Responsibility. We are committed to contributing to the social and economic wellbeing of our local 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 premier organizations for our continued commitment to fostering diversity. Our employees are active in our communities, through local and national organizations, including a significant national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). |
Navient is committed to a sustainable future. Our work is largely services based; as a result, our day-to-day operations require relatively small amounts of natural resource and energy inputs. We leverage technology that minimizes energy usage in our office buildings and promote widespread adoption of “paperless” digital customer communications. Navient prioritizes adding or updating insulation and other power-saving features to our buildings to further 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 2022 results continue to build upon our previous year’s results demonstrating 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 results in 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, 2022, $780 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 7.5% as of June 30, 2022.
(Dollars and shares in millions) | | Q2-22 | | | Q2-21 | |
Shares repurchased | | | 6.9 | | | | 11.8 | |

How We Organize Our Business
We operate our business in three primary segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending and Business Processing.
Federal Education Loans Segment
In this segment, Navient owns FFELP Loans and performs servicing and asset recovery services on this portfolio. We also service and perform asset recovery services on 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.
Consumer Lending Segment
In this segment, Navient owns, originates, acquires and services high-quality refinance and in-school Private Education Loans. We believe our more than 45 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 to financially responsible consumers, generating attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns. We generate revenue primarily through net interest income on our Private Education Loan portfolio.
Business Processing Segment
In this segment, Navient performs business processing services for over 600 government and healthcare clients.
| • | Government services: We provide services to state governments, agencies, court systems, municipalities, and parking and tolling authorities, leveraging our scale, integrated technology solutions, decades of differentiated customer experience expertise and evidence-based approach. Our support enables our clients to better serve their constituents, meet rapidly changing needs, improve technology, reduce operating expenses, manage risk and optimize revenue opportunities. |
| • | Healthcare services: We perform revenue cycle outsourcing, accounts receivable management, extended business office support, consulting engagements and public health programs. We offer customizable solutions for our clients that 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 2022 GAAP net income was $180 million ($1.22 diluted earnings per share), compared with $185 million ($1.05 diluted Core Earnings per share) for the year-ago quarter. See “Results of Operations – Comparison of Second-Quarter 2022 Results with Second-Quarter 2021” for a discussion of the primary contributors to the change in GAAP earnings between periods.
Second-quarter 2022 Core Earnings net income was $134 million ($0.91 diluted Core Earnings per share), compared with $165 million ($0.94 diluted Core Earnings per share) for the year-ago quarter. Second-quarter 2022 and 2021 adjusted diluted Core Earnings(1) per share were $0.92 and $0.98, respectively. See “Segment Results” for a discussion of the primary contributors to the change in Core Earnings between periods.
Financial highlights of second-quarter 2022 include:
Federal Education Loans segment:
| • | Net income of $110 million. |
| • | FFELP net interest margin of 1.11%. |
Consumer Lending segment:
| • | Net income of $71 million. |

Navient’s Response to COVID-19
Since its emergence in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has been dynamic and unpredictable. Variants continue to emerge while efforts to mitigate and contain the impact of the pandemic continue to evolve. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the safety of our employees and business partners, while continually striving to support the needs of our customers and communities during this unprecedented period. During 2021 and the first half of 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to affect our business operations. The future direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain. Should current economic conditions deteriorate or if the pandemic worsens due to various factors, including through the spread of more easily communicable variants of COVID-19, such conditions could have an adverse effect on our businesses and results of operations and could adversely affect our financial condition. For more information on the pandemic, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Navient’s Response to COVID-19” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

GAAP Comparison of Second-Quarter 2022 Results with Second-Quarter 2021
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $180 million, or $1.22 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $185 million, or $1.05 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 $1 million, primarily as a result of the continued natural paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin. |
| • | Provisions for loan losses increased $19 million from $(1) million to $18 million: |
| ○ | The provision for FFELP loan losses remained unchanged at $0. |
| ○ | The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $19 million from $(1) million to $18 million. |
The provision for loan losses of $18 million in the current period included $7 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The negative provision of $(1) million in the year-ago quarter was primarily related to $13 million of provision primarily related to loan originations less the reversal of both $5 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $30 million of Private Education Loans as well as $9 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio.
| • | Servicing revenue decreased $33 million primarily related to the transfer of the servicing contract for 5.6 million ED owned student loan accounts from Navient to a third party in October 2021. As a result, Navient no longer is a party to the ED servicing contract. To aid in the transition, Navient will provide certain services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement. |
| • | Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $54 million primarily as a result of a $43 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment, primarily due to the expected wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from services we perform for our traditional government and healthcare services clients. |
| • | Losses on debt repurchases decreased $12 million. We repurchased $692 million of debt at a $12 million loss in the year-ago quarter. There were no debt repurchases in the current period. |
| • | Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $32 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods. |
| • | Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $2 million and $8 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $188 million and $244 million in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $56 million decrease was primarily related to no longer being a party to the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue. |
We repurchased 6.9 million and 11.8 million shares of our common stock during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 29 million common shares (or 16%) from the year-ago period.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Results with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $435 million, or $2.90 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $555 million, or $3.08 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 $27 million, primarily as a result of the continued natural paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios, as well as the $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans sales in first-quarter 2021. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin. |
| • | Provisions for loan losses increased $122 million from $(88) million to $34 million: |
| ○ | The provision for FFELP loan losses remained unchanged at $0. |
| ○ | The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $122 million from $(88) million to $34 million. |
The provision for loan losses of $34 million in the current period included $18 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $16 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The provision for loan losses in the current period primarily related to loan originations. The negative provision of $(88) million in the year-ago period was primarily related to the reversal of both $107 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans discussed below and $10 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio, partially offset by $29 million of provision primarily related to loan originations.
| • | Servicing revenue decreased $66 million primarily related to the transfer of the servicing contract for 5.6 million ED owned student loan accounts from Navient to a third party in October 2021. As a result, Navient no longer is a party to the ED servicing contract. To aid in the transition, Navient will provide certain services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement (see discussion below related to “Other income”). |
| • | Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $96 million primarily as a result of a $74 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment, primarily due to the expected wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from services we perform for our traditional government and healthcare services clients. |
| • | Other income increased $11 million primarily related to the transition services being performed in connection with the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party, as discussed above. |
| • | Gains on sales of loans decreased $78 million in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans in first-quarter 2021. There was a $13 million gain related to derivatives that were used to hedge this transaction that did not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, this gain related to the derivatives was included as a part of “gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities, net” on the income statement. There were no such sales in the current period. |
| • | Losses on debt repurchases decreased $12 million. We repurchased $717 million of debt at a $12 million loss in the year-ago period. There were no debt repurchases in the current period. |
| • | Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $94 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods. |
| • | Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $3 million and $16 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $392 million and $494 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $102 million decrease was primarily related to no longer being a party to the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue. |
| • | During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company incurred $3 million and $8 million, respectively of restructuring/other reorganization expenses in connection with an effort to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency. |
We repurchased 13.1 million and 19.9 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 30 million common shares (or 17%) from the year-ago period.

Servicing Revenue
Servicing revenue decreased $33 million primarily related to the transfer of the servicing contract for 5.6 million ED owned student loan accounts from Navient to a third party in October 2021. As a result, Navient no longer is a party to the ED servicing contract. To aid in the transition, Navient will provide certain services into 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement (see discussion below related to “Other income”). As part of the transaction, approximately 700 Navient employees were transferred to the third party. This transaction provided a seamless transition for millions of borrowers ensuring the ongoing servicing capacity for the Department of ED through the knowledge transfer and ongoing employment of 700 employees. Additional benefits to Navient of this transaction are the simplification of our business, reducing our overall risk profile and avoiding significant severance expense.
Third-party loan servicing fees in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included $0 and $34 million, respectively, of servicing revenue related to the ED servicing contract.
Asset Recovery and Business Processing Revenue
Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $11 million primarily as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on certain collection and processing activities (temporary stoppage or other restrictions on certain activities).
Other Income
Other income increased $6 million primarily related to the transition services being performed in connection with the transfer of the ED Servicing contract to a third party as discussed above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the Federal Education Loans segment primarily include costs incurred to perform servicing and asset recovery activities on our FFELP Loan portfolio and federal education loans held by other institutions. Expenses were $30 million lower primarily as a result of the decrease in servicing and asset recovery revenue discussed above.

Comparison of Second-Quarter 2022 Results with Second-Quarter 2021
• | Originated $420 million of Private Education Loans compared to $1.3 billion. |
• | Net income was $71 million compared to $96 million. |
• | Net interest income decreased $16 million primarily due to the increase in the relative proportion of the higher quality, lower yielding Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio compared to the non-refinance loan portfolio. |
• | Provision for loan losses increased $19 million. The provision for loan losses of $18 million in the current period included $7 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio.

The decrease in the net interest margin from the prior year is primarily a result of the refinance loan portfolio becoming a larger percentage of the overall portfolio.
As of June 30, 2022, our Private Education Loan portfolio totaled $19.7 billion, comprised of $9.9 billion of refinance loans and $9.8 billion of non-refinance loans. The weighted-average life of these portfolios as of June 30, 2022 was 3 years and 5 years, respectively, assuming a Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) of 20% and 9%, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $19 million. The provision for loan losses of $18 million in the current period included $7 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $11 million related to an increase in expected losses for the overall portfolio. The negative provision for the year ago quarter of $(1) million was comprised of $13 million in connection with loan originations less the reversal of both $5 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $30 million of Private Education Loans, as well as $9 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio.

Gains on Sales of Loans
Gains on sales of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $78 million in connection with the sale of $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans in first-quarter 2021. There were no such sales in the current period.

Comparison of Second-Quarter 2022 Results with Second-Quarter 2021
• | Net income was $10 million compared to $29 million. |
• | Revenue decreased $43 million, or 33%, primarily due to the expected $46 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of the pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by a $3 million increase in revenue from services we performed for our traditional government and healthcare services clients. |
• | EBITDA was $14 million, down $26 million, or 65%. The decrease in EBITDA is primarily the result of the revenue decrease discussed above. |

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.
Losses on Debt Repurchases
Losses on debt repurchases decreased $12 million. We repurchased $692 million of debt at a $12 million loss in the year-ago quarter. There were no debt repurchases in the current period.
Unallocated Shared Services 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. On an adjusted basis, expenses decreased $4 million from the year-ago quarter. Adjusted expenses exclude $2 million and $8 million, respectively, of regulatory-related expenses in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021.
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 2021, the Company incurred $2 million of restructuring/other reorganization expenses in connection with an effort to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency. These charges were primarily due to facility lease terminations and severance-related costs. There were no restructuring/other reorganization expenses in the current quarter.

(1) | In connection with the sale of approximately $30 million of Private Education Loans in second-quarter 2021. |
(2) | Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, at the time of charge-off the expected recovery amount is transferred from the education loan balance to the allowance for loan loss and is referred to as the “expected future recoveries on charged-off loans.” For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge-off. |
(3) | 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. Actual recoveries are applied against the remaining loan balance that was not charged off. We refer to this as the expected future recoveries on charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately charged off through the allowance for Private Education Loan losses with an offsetting reduction in the expected future recoveries for 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 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. See “Navient’s Response to COVID-19” for a discussion of COVID-19’s impact on liquidity and capital resources.
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 $7.0 billion at June 30, 2022. 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 $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the short term (i.e., over the next 12 months) and the remaining $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the long term (from 2023 to 2043 with 81% maturing by 2029), through a number of sources. These sources primarily are 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 are done 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. Those originations and purchases are part of our ongoing liquidity needs. We purchased 6.9 million shares of common stock for $105 million in the second quarter of 2022 and have $780 million of unused share repurchase authority as of June 30, 2022.

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 2022 to April 2024.

At June 30, 2022, we had a total of $3.8 billion of unencumbered tangible assets inclusive of those listed in the table above as sources of primary liquidity. Total unencumbered education loans comprised $1.7 billion principal of our unencumbered tangible assets of which $1.6 billion and $89 million related to Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had $5.7 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 $0.3 billion outstanding as of June 30, 2022. 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, and premium and discount amortization, can be found in our 2021 Form 10-K. In the second quarter of 2022, we considered the potential negative impact on the economy associated with the uncertainty in connection with historically high inflation, the recent increase in interest rates and the war in Ukraine, and the potential impact on these critical accounting policies. We concluded there was not a material impact at this time. This will continue to be monitored and assessed during 2022.
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 (as well as Adjusted Core Earnings), (2) Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio and (3) EBITDA for the Business Processing segment.
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 Core Earnings for each reportable segment and our business as a whole along with the adjustments made to the income/expense items to reconcile the amounts to our reported GAAP results as required by GAAP and reported in “Note 12 — 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.
33
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 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.

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, 2022, derivative accounting has increased GAAP equity by approximately $39 million as a result of cumulative net mark-to-market losses (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 cashflow 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, 2022 | | | June 30, 2021 | |

Adjusted Core Earnings
Adjusted Core Earnings net income and Adjusted Core Earnings operating expenses exclude restructuring and regulatory-related expenses. Management excludes these expenses as it is one of the measures we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources, as this presentation is a useful basis for management and investors to further analyze Core Earnings. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors.

2. 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 portfolio because FFELP Loans are no longer originated and the FFELP 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, 2022 | | | June 30, 2021 | |

Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of legal matters as of June 30, 2022, please refer to “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
Risk Factors
The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) should be considered together with information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. These are not the only risks to which we are exposed. The following information amends and restates in their entirety the previously disclosed risk factors in our Form 10-K relating to higher-than-anticipated increases in prepayment rates, interest rates, persistent inflation, and threats to our information technology systems. Except for such additional information, we believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Prepayments on our loans can materially impact our profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects. Higher or lower prepayments can result from a variety of causes including borrower activity and changes in the education loan market as a result of market conditions, interest rate movements, loan forgiveness or other government sponsored initiatives.
The rate at which borrowers prepay their loans can have a material impact on profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects by affecting our net interest margin, the future cash flows from our loans including loans held by our securitization trusts. FFELP Loans and Private Education Loans may be voluntarily prepaid without penalty by the borrower, refinanced or consolidated with the borrower’s other loans through refinancing. Prepayment rates on education loans are subject to a variety of economic, political, competitive and other factors, including changes in our competitors’ business strategies, changes in interest rates, availability of alternative financings (including refinance and consolidations), legislative, executive and regulatory changes affecting the education loan market and the general economy. Refinance products offered by us, our competitors, and the Federal Government may increase the repayment rate on our FFELP Loans and Private Education Loans.
In particular, new interpretations of current laws, rules or regulations or future laws, executive orders or other policy initiatives which operate to encourage or require consolidation, abolish existing or create additional income-based repayment or debt forgiveness programs or establish other policies and programs also may increase or decrease the prepayment rates on education loans. For example, ED recently announced a set of policy changes and released proposed negotiated rulemaking proposals relating to the Defense to Repayment, interest capitalization rules, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness program under its Direct Loan program, which may result in an increase in consolidations of FFELP loans into Direct Loans (which results in the loan no longer being on our balance sheet). Prepayments on our loans may also decrease while programs or initiatives are discussed or rumored to be enacted in the future. As is currently reported by various news reports, the White House is considering a broad-based student loan cancellation or debt forgiveness plan. While the specifics of any plan have not yet been announced, if a broad -based student loan forgiveness plan or any policies or programs that encourage or require borrowers to consolidate their loans into Direct Loans held by ED is implemented, it will likely result in an increase in prepayments, which could be significant, of our existing education loan portfolio and could materially and adversely impact our profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects. We cannot predict what (if any) plans or policies regarding broad-based loan forgiveness or other related policies or programs will ultimately be implemented, the timing of when such plans or policies may be implemented, and/or the outcome of such actions.
FFELP Loans may also be repaid after default by the Guarantors of FFELP Loans. Conversely, borrowers might not choose to prepay their education loans, or the terms of their education loans may be extended as a result of grace periods, deferment periods, income-driven repayment plans, or other repayment terms or monthly payment amount modifications agreed to by the servicer, for example. FFELP Loan borrowers may be eligible for various existing income-based repayment programs under which borrowers can qualify for reduced or zero monthly payment or even debt forgiveness after a certain number of years of repayment.
Prolonged introductions of significant amounts of subsidized funding at below market interest rates — whether from federal or private sources — could increase the prepayment rates of our existing Private Education Loans and have a material adverse effect on our profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects.
With respect to our securitization trusts when, as a result of unanticipated prepayment levels, education loans within a securitization trust amortize faster than originally contracted, the trust’s pool balance may decline at a rate faster than the prepayment rate assumed when the trust’s bonds were originally issued. If the trust’s pool balance declines faster than originally anticipated, in most of our securitization structures, the bonds issued by that trust will also be repaid faster than originally anticipated. In such cases, our net interest income may decrease and our future cash flows from the trust may similarly decline. Conversely, when education loans within a securitization trust amortize more slowly than originally contracted, the trust’s pool balance may decline more slowly than the prepayment rate assumed when the trust’s bonds were originally issued, and the bonds may be repaid more slowly than originally anticipated. In these cases, our net interest income increases and our future cash flows from the trust may increase.
38
It is also possible, if the prepayment rate is especially slow and certain rights of the sellers or the servicer are not exercised or are insufficient or other action is not taken to counter the slower prepayment rate, the trust’s bonds may not be repaid by their legal final maturity date(s), which could result in an event of default under the underlying securitization agreements.
Our business is affected by changes in interest rates and the cost and availability of funding in the capital
markets.
The capital markets may from time-to-time experience periods of significant volatility, such as the volatility we are currently experiencing due to rising interest rates and other economic pressures. This volatility can dramatically and adversely affect financing costs when compared to historical norms or make funding unavailable at any costs. We cannot provide any assurance that the cost and availability of funding in the capital markets will not continue to be impacted by current economic pressures. Other factors that could make financing more expensive or unavailable to us include, but are not limited to, financial losses, events that have an adverse impact on our reputation, changes in the activities of our business partners, events that have an adverse impact on the financial services industry generally, counterparty availability, negative credit rating actions with respect to us, asset-backed securities sponsored by us or the U.S. federal government, changes affecting our assets, the ability of existing or future Navient-sponsored securitization trusts to hedge interest rate and currency risk, corporate and regulatory actions, absolute and comparative interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the legal, regulatory and tax environments governing funding transactions, including existing or future securitization and derivatives transactions. If financing is difficult, expensive or unavailable, our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Further, rising interest rates and expectations of inflation may negatively impact borrower demand for our private education loan products.
We depend on secure information technology, and a breach of our information technology systems could result in significant losses, disclosure of confidential customer information and reputational damage, which would adversely affect our business.
Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of personal, confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures we deem reasonable and appropriate, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, malicious attacks, ransomware attacks and other events that could have a security impact beyond our control. These technologies, systems and networks, and those of third parties, may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information, the loss of access to our systems and networks or those of third parties we rely upon or otherwise disrupt our business operations or those of our customers or other third parties. Information security risks for institutions that handle large numbers of financial transactions on a daily basis such as Navient have generally increased in recent years, in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists and other external parties. In addition, our increased use of mobile and cloud technologies could heighten these and other operational risks, and any failure by mobile or cloud technology service providers to adequately safeguard their systems and prevent cyber-attacks could disrupt our operations or those of third parties we rely upon and result in interruptions of services or loss of access or misappropriation, corruption or loss of confidential or propriety information. Moreover, the loss of confidential customer identification information could harm our reputation, result in the termination of contracts by our existing customers and subject us to liability under state, federal and international laws that protect confidential personal data, resulting in increased costs, loss of revenues and substantial penalties. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) took effect in January 2020 and provides for enhanced consumer protections for California residents and statutory fines for data security breaches or other CCPA violations.
If one or more of such events occur, personal, confidential and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks could be jeopardized or could cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations that could result in significant losses or reputational damage. We routinely transmit and receive personal, confidential and proprietary information, some of it through third parties. We maintain secure transmission capability and work to ensure that third parties follow similar procedures. Nevertheless, an interception, misuse or mishandling of personal, confidential or proprietary information being sent to or received from a customer or third party could result in legal liability, regulatory action and reputational harm. In the event personal, confidential or other information is jeopardized, intercepted, misused or mishandled, or our systems or those of third parties we rely upon suffer interruptions in service or loss of access, we may need to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to fines, penalties, litigation and settlement costs and financial losses that may either not be insured against or not be fully covered through insurance. If one or more of such events occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected.

If we do not effectively and continually align our cost structure with our business operations, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We continually need to align our cost structure with our business operations. The ability to properly size our cost structure is dependent upon a number of variables, including our ability to successfully execute on our business plans and growth initiatives and future legislative or regulatory changes. Persistent inflation, as experienced in the first half of 2022, could significantly increase our ongoing operating costs and reduce our net income. If we undertake cost reductions based on our business plan, those reductions could be too dramatic and could cause disruptions in our business, reductions in the quality of the services we provide or cause us to fail to comply with applicable regulatory standards. Alternatively, we may fail to implement, or be unable to achieve, necessary cost savings commensurate with our business and prospects. In either case, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
LIBOR Transition
We continue to work 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 have established an internal LIBOR transition team whose purpose is 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 have also established internal LIBOR working groups comprised of members from different business areas who meet 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 engage 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 support the ARRC’s recommendation to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and continue to comply 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 have 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 plan to transition such loans using such existing fallbacks. We have 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 have made efforts to engage with customers, counterparties and investors to modify such instruments. Due to stringent noteholder consent requirements, it may be impracticable or impossible 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, cannot be modified without legislative action. Thus, in such instances, we may need to rely on the New York state LIBOR legislation or the proposed 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 recommended by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will automatically replace the USD LIBOR benchmark in the contract after June 30, 2023. The recommended benchmark replacement will be based on the SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including any recommended spread adjustment and benchmark replacement conforming changes. Following the enactment of the LIBOR Act, all of our financial instruments which are currently indexed to USD LIBOR will transition to SOFR by no later than June 30, 2023.
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 an alternative reference rate may create uncertainty in the capital markets and may negatively impact the value of existing LIBOR based financial instruments. Post transition alternative reference rates may perform significantly different than LIBOR” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
Our interest rate risk management seeks to limit the impact of short-term 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, 2022 and 2021, 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 variable rate liability.
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 changes due to the interest rate scenarios in the current period are a result of items (ii) and (iii) having a more significant impact than item (i) primarily as a result of interest rates being significantly higher compared to the prior period. The changes in the prior period are a result of item (i) having a more significant impact than items (ii) and (iii) primarily as a result of interest rates being significantly lower at that time.
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
43
accounting that are used to economically hedge Floor Income as well as 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. The mark-to-market gains (losses) where interest rates increase and decrease 100 basis points are lower in 2022 than 2021 primarily as a result of an increased interest rate environment in 2022 and a decline in the notional amount of derivatives outstanding in connection with the decrease in the education loan portfolio over that time period.
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 tables below present our assets and liabilities (funding) arranged by underlying indices as of June 30, 2022. In the following GAAP presentation, the funding gap only includes derivatives that qualify as effective hedges (those derivatives which are reflected in net interest margin, as opposed to those reflected in the “gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities, net” line on the consolidated statements of income). 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.
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 are also presenting the asset and liability funding gap on a Core Earnings basis in the table that follows the GAAP presentation.

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.

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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021 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, 2021 (the 2021 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 2021 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 is effective on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permissible. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this amendment.

(1) | Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, at the time of charge-off, the expected recovery amount is transferred from the education loan balance to the allowance for loan loss and is referred to as the expected future recoveries on 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. Actual recoveries are applied against the remaining loan balance that was not charged off. We refer to this as the expected future recoveries on charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately charged off through the allowance for Private Education Loan losses with an offsetting reduction in the expected future recoveries for 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 charged-off loans: |

2. Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
We sometimes modify the terms of loans for customers experiencing financial difficulty. 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 are classified as TDRs. Approximately 76% and 75% of the loans granted forbearance have qualified as a TDR loan at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The unpaid principal balance of TDR loans that were in an interest rate reduction program as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $890 million and $831 million, respectively.
The following table provides the amount of loans modified in the periods 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.

Private Education Loans
The key credit quality indicators are credit scores (FICO scores), loan status, loan seasoning, whether a loan is a TDR, 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.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by $12 million and $8 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by $2 million and $2 million, respectively.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
Our corporate derivatives contain credit contingent features. At our current unsecured credit rating, we have fully collateralized our corporate derivative liability position (including accrued interest and net of premiums receivable) of $5 million with our counterparties. Downgrades in our unsecured credit rating would not result in any additional collateral requirements. Trust related derivatives do not contain credit contingent features related to our or the trusts’ credit ratings. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a net positive exposure (derivative gain positions to us less collateral which has been posted by counterparties to us) related to Navient Corporation derivatives of $24 million and $9 million, respectively. The trusts are not required to post collateral to the counterparties. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the net positive exposure on swaps in securitization trusts was $0 and $0, respectively
The table below highlights credit exposure related to our derivative counterparties at June 30, 2022.

(2) | For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, securities covering approximately 0 million and 0 million shares, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, securities covering approximately 0 million and 1 million shares, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive |
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. See “Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements” in our 2021 Form 10-K for a full discussion.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no significant transfers of financial instruments between levels, or changes in our methodology used to value our financial instruments.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
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 continue to increase and therefore continue to increase the time, costs and resources we must dedicate to timely respond to these requests and may, depending on their outcome, result in payments of restitution, fines and penalties.
Certain Cases
During the first quarter of 2016, Navient Corporation, certain Navient officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain Navient securities offerings were sued in three putative securities class action lawsuits filed on behalf of certain investors in Navient stock or Navient unsecured debt. These 3 cases, which were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, were consolidated by the District Court, with Lord Abbett Funds appointed as Lead Plaintiff. The caption of the consolidated case is Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund, Inc., et al. v. Navient Corporation, et al. Additionally, two putative class actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey captioned Eli Pope v. Navient Corporation, John F. Remondi, Somsak Chivavibul and Christian Lown, and Melvin Gross v. Navient Corporation, John F. Remondi, Somsak Chivavibul and Christian M. Lown, both of which allege violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The cases were consolidated by the Court in February 2018 under the caption In Re Navient Corporation Securities Litigation and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in April 2018. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company reached tentative agreements to settle both cases. The settlements, in which the Company and other defendants expressly deny any admission or concession of wrongdoing or fault, have received final court approval and are covered by insurance.
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. The Company will cancel the loan balance of approximately 66,000 borrowers with qualifying Private Education Loans that were originated largely between 2002 and 2010 and later defaulted and charged off. The loans to be cancelled have aggregate outstanding balances of approximately $1.7 billion. The expense to the Company to cancel these loans is approximately $50 million which represents the amount of expected future recoveries of these charged-off loans on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company agreed to make a one-time payment of approximately $145 million to the states. In the fourth quarter of 2021 when such loss became probable, the Company recognized total regulatory expenses of approximately $205 million related to this matter.

9. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
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.
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.
Regulatory Matters
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, including for the District of Columbia, Kansas, Oregon, Colorado, New Jersey, New York and Indiana 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 0 reserves related to indemnification matters with SLM BankCo as of June 30, 2022.

OIG Audit
The Office of the Inspector General (the OIG) of ED commenced an audit regarding Special Allowance Payments (SAP) on September 10, 2007. In September 2013, we received the final audit determination of Federal Student Aid (the Final Audit Determination) on the final audit report issued by the OIG in August 2009 related to this audit. The Final Audit Determination concurred with the final audit report issued by the OIG and instructed us to make adjustment to our government billing to reflect the policy determination. In August 2016, we filed our notice of appeal to the Administrative Actions and Appeals Service Group of ED, and a hearing was held in April 2017. In March 2019, the administrative law judge hearing the appeal affirmed the audit’s findings, holding the then-existing Dear Colleague letter relied upon by the Company and other industry participants was inconsistent with the statutory framework creating the SAP rules applicable to loans funded by certain types of debt obligations at issue. We appealed the administrative law judge’s decision to the Secretary of Education given Navient’s adherence to ED-issued guidance and the potential impact on participants in any ED program student loan servicers if such guidance is deemed unreliable and may not be relied upon. In January 2021, the Acting Secretary of Education upheld the decision of the administrative law judge. In March 2021, we filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in federal court seeking to set aside the Acting Secretary’s decision. We continue to believe that our SAP billing practices were proper, considering then-existing ED guidance and lack of applicable regulations. We filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the Acting Secretary’s decision. That case is pending. The Company first established a reserve for this matter in 2014 and increased the reserve in 2020 in response to the decision by the Acting Secretary. We do not believe, at this time, that an adverse ruling will have a material effect on the Company as a whole.
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 4 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
In this segment, Navient owns FFELP Loans and performs servicing and asset recovery services on this portfolio. We also service and perform asset recovery services on 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 the FFELP Loan portfolio as well as servicing and asset recovery services revenue. This segment is expected to generate significant earnings and cash flow over the remaining life of the portfolio.

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. |
