PHH Corporation Rings Opening Bell of the New York Stock Exchange; Company Also Announces Executive Officers and Board of Directors

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--Feb. 3, 2005--PHH Corporation celebrated a new phase in its company history today as it rang The Opening Bell(TM) at the New York Stock Exchange. As previously announced, PHH Corporation became an independent, public company on February 1, 2005 after the spin-off from Cendant Corporation .

Terence W. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, PHH Corporation, joined by a select group of PHH employees, had the honor of ringing the Bell. "We are very excited about the opportunity to showcase our company to the investment community. Shareholder value has always been part of our corporate culture; we will continue to maintain this focus as we begin this next phase of our company's history," Edwards said.

PHH Corporation's mortgage and vehicle management operations provide outsourced services to corporate customers. PHH Mortgage, previously operating as Cendant Mortgage, is the sixth largest originator of residential mortgage loans in the United States. The fleet management business, PHH Arval, is the second-largest provider of fleet management services in the United States and Canada. In conjunction with strategic partners, PHH Arval provides fleet management services throughout the world.

"Fleet management and home financing are non-core strengths for many corporations, while PHH employees are subject matter experts in both," explained Neil J. Cashen, executive vice president and chief financial officer, PHH Corporation. "As such, the mortgage and vehicle management operations can easily provide these services to corporate clients, allowing them to focus on their core operations. In addition, the 'pure-play' nature of PHH as an independent, publicly-traded company should enhance investors' appreciation of these businesses, compared to their being relatively small components of Cendant."

Terence W. Edwards          President and Chief Executive Officer
