October 27, 2017 Florida Housing Finance Corporation 8 GUARANTEE PROGRAM Information III. GUARANTEE PROGRAM A. Status of the Guarantee Program portfolio 1. Background/Present Situation a) Since the implementation of the Guarantee Program in 1993, it has guaranteed 120 transactions, facilitating the construction of over 28,000 housing units in Florida. In November 1994, the Guarantee Program entered into an agreement with HUD to participate in the Risk-Sharing Program; characterized by a 50/50 sharing of default risk in connection with the mortgage guarantee. As of 9/30/17, three (3) multifamily developments remain in the Guarantee Program portfolio; one (1) is a Risk-Sharing transaction. b) Between November 2008 and April 2010, eight (8) multifamily claims were filed on the Guarantee Program, representing the total (and only) multifamily claims incurred in its 24-year history. Currently, there are no foreclosures in inventory and no developments in monetary default in the portfolio. B. Corpus and Portfolio Risk Exposure 1. Background/Present Situation a) The global liquidity crisis of 2008 collapsed the market for the variable rate bonds capitalizing the Guarantee Program corpus, ultimately leading staff to restructure the debt, paying off approximately $89 million and refinancing the remaining $156.2 million in variable rate bonds to a 5-year term loan with Citibank, closing on December 31, 2009. b) At that time, the Guarantee Program’s total risk exposure was $754.5 million. Since then, in keeping with the Board’s mandate to cede risk from the portfolio, total risk exposure has been reduced over 97%, as reflected below: Portfolio Risk Exposure As of 12/31/16 12/31/15 12/31/14 12/31/13 12/31/12 12/31/11 12/31/10 9/30/17 $20.5M $30.9M $59.4M $158.9M $306.5M $468.5M $578.8M $728.3M c) The continued low interest rate environment has prompted many Developers to refinance their properties, paying-off their guaranteed mortgages and removing them from the Guarantee Program portfolio, representing the primary driver behind the reduction in Total Commitments reflected above. Refinancing activity is reflected in the following chart: Refinancing Activity As of 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 9/30/17 Loans (#): 1 5 17 22 22 9 12 2 Risk ceded $10.2M $27.6M $100M $136.8M $149.4M $84M $117.9M $9.9M ($): October 27, 2017 Florida Housing Finance Corporation 9 GUARANTEE PROGRAM Information d) Contributing to the reduction in Total Commitments was approximately $115 million in partial prepayments (of mortgages) from SAIL ELI proceeds, funded prior to or at the time of closing, helping facilitate refinancing activity. e) Furthermore, Management aggressively reduced the Guarantee Program capitalizing debt, paying off $90.2 million on April 20, 2011, another $15 million on July 29, 2011, and the remaining $51.0 million on December 21, 2012, reducing the Guarantee Fund’s capitalizing debt to zero ($0). f) The Guarantee Fund corpus contains approximately $132 million in capital invested in the Florida Treasury, Special Purpose Investment Account (SPIA), rated “A+f” by Standard & Poor’s as of March 31, 2017.
