"We have made substantial progress on the three strategic actions launched earlier this year to outsource student loan servicing, explore strategic options for our business processing division, and streamline our shared service infrastructure and corporate footprint. We are nearing completion of a final outsourcing agreement - which will pave the way for the transition of nearly 900 employees to support seamless service for our customers. Further, we expect to be in a position to decide on the options to divest our business processing division. We are beginning to execute our plans for a leaner company. When completed, we believe these actions will simplify our business, reduce our expense base, and increase our financial and operating flexibility. "

Policy-Driven Prepayments

Restricted Cash

Policy-Driven Prepayments represent the loan prepayments that are believed to have been catalyzed by Department of Education programs and/or other government policy. Policy-Driven Prepayments represent loans that have consolidated to the Direct Consolidation Loan program as well as non-defaulted loans repaid by guarantors by direction of the Department of Education. Policy-Driven Prepayments exclude defaulted loans repaid by guarantors, full and partial voluntary prepayments, and other activity.

Restricted Cash represents the month-end balance of restricted cash related to the FFELP portfolio; periodic balance fluctuations result from trust distributions.

  • The Impacts of FFELP Loan Prepayments
    • Loan prepayments accelerate loan principal cash flows
    • The immediate impact is to increase restricted cash
    • Restricted cash from loan prepayments are generally applied with a short time lag to pay down ABS debt with excess distributed to Navient, typically
    • FFELP loan prepayments accelerate loan premium amortization. This
      non-cash expense does not impact current period or future life-of-loan cash flows.
