1 Origination Insight Report FEBRUARY 2015

2 INTRODUCTION The Ellie Mae Origination Insight Report provides monthly data and insights from a robust sampling of closed loan applications that flow through Ellie Mae s Encompass mortgage management software and Ellie Mae Network. The characteristics of closed and denied loans presented in this report are averages. In 2014, approximately 3.7 million loan applications ran through Ellie Mae s Encompass mortgage management solution. The Origination Insight Report mines its application data from a robust sampling of approximately 66% of all mortgage applications that were initiated on the Encompass origination platform. Given the size of this sample and Ellie Mae s market share, the Company believes the Origination Insight Report is a strong proxy of the underwriting standards that are being employed by lenders across the country.

14 TERMINOLOGY CLOSING RATE Percentage of loan applications begun in the previous 90-day cycle that have closed. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) A personal finance measure that compares an individual s debt payments to the income he or she generates. Includes front-end ratio/ back-end ratio. Denied Applications Loan applications denied as indicated by lender for Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) reporting purposes. Loan applications not reported as denied or as originated (closed) may include active applications, applications withdrawn by consumers, or files closed for incompleteness. Time-to-Close Time from loan application to funding. Refinance Includes both no-cash-out and cash-out refinances. FICO A type of credit score that makes up a substantial portion of the credit report that lenders use to assess an applicant s credit risk and determine whether to extend a loan. FICO is an acronym for the Fair Isaac Corporation, the creators of the FICO score. The Ellie Mae Origination Insight Report looks at the average middle score from a tri-merge credit report. Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV) A lending risk-assessment ratio that financial institutions and other lenders examine before approving a mortgage. It is calculated by dividing the mortgage amount by the appraised value of the property. PAGE 14 OF 16 ELLIE MAE ORIGINATION INSIGHT REPORT FeBRUARY 2015

15 METHODOLOGY In 2014, approximately 3.7 million loan applications ran through Ellie Mae s Encompass mortgage management solution. The Origination Insight Report mines its application data from a robust sampling of approximately 66% of all mortgage applications that were initiated on the Encompass origination platform. Given the size of this sample and Ellie Mae s market share, the Company believes the Origination Insight Report is a strong proxy of the underwriting standards that are being employed by lenders across the country. The Origination Insight Report focuses on loans that closed or were denied in a specific month and compares their characteristics to similar loans that closed or were denied three and six months earlier. The closing rate is calculated on a 90-day cycle rather than on a monthly basis because most loan applications typically take one-and-a-half to two months from application to closing. Loans that do not close could still be active applications or applications withdrawn by consumers or denied for incompleteness or nonqualification. The Origination Insight Report details aggregated, anonymized data and does not disclose client-specific or proprietary information. News organizations have the right to reuse this data, provided that Ellie Mae, Inc., is credited as the source. PAGE 15 OF 16 ELLIE MAE ORIGINATION INSIGHT REPORT FeBRUARY 2015
