Indianapolis, Ind.—November 14, 2013—Stonegate Mortgage Corporation (“Stonegate Mortgage” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SGM), a leading, non-bank mortgage company focused on originating, financing and servicing U.S. residential mortgage loans, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

“Our third quarter results reflect solid business execution during a period of rising interest rates and underscore the strength of our differentiated, vertically integrated and scalable mortgage banking platform,” said Jim Cutillo, Chief Executive Officer of Stonegate Mortgage. “Our three lines of business—mortgage originations, mortgage servicing and mortgage financing—complement each other and create a natural hedge against interest rate volatility and business cyclicality, an important factor in our performance. Having completed our IPO, we continue to execute our growth strategy as evidenced by our recently announced acquisitions which will accelerate our geographic expansion, add talented senior executives and enhance our ability to serve a broader range of mortgage brokers and regional banks. We are confident in our ability to integrate these businesses, which will help fuel our growth and creating near and long-term shareholder value for our investors.”

Net income for the third quarter was $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $9.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 and $9.5 million, or $1.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012.

Adjusted net income was $6.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013, after adjusting for non-cash valuation adjustments, certain other non-cash expense items and ramp-up and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted net income was $8.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013 and $7.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2012. Refer to page 8 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues decreased 27% to $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $44.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and were up 3% from $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.


Adjusted revenues decreased 4% to $37.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 and were up 50% from $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. Refer to page 7 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Mortgage loan origination volume increased 12%, to $2.3 billion during the third quarter of 2013 from $2.1 billion in originations in the second quarter of 2013 and grew 123% from origination volume of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2012.

The Company’s servicing portfolio, as measured by unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), ended the third quarter 2013 at $9.7 billion, an increase of 28% from second quarter 2013 ending UPB of $7.6 billion, and up 229% over the third quarter 2012 ending UPB of $2.9 billion.

Recent Developments—Acquisition of Crossline Capital; Continues Execution of Retail Channel Expansion and Growth Strategy

On November 13, 2013, Stonegate Mortgage entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Crossline. The acquisition of Crossline will help expand the Company’s retail channel and accelerate its geographic expansion, which is consistent with the Company’s acquisition and growth strategy.

GAAP Reconciliation

(Unaudited)

We calculate adjusted revenues, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS as performance measures, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, to further aid our investors in understanding and analyzing our core operating results and comparing them among periods. Adjusted revenues exclude non-cash fair valuation adjustments related to our mortgage loans held for sale and related derivative assets and liabilities, as well as the bargain purchase gain from our 2012 acquisition of NattyMac, which we do not consider part of our core revenues. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS also exclude certain items that we do not consider part of our core operating results including expenses related to the financing of our term loan, certain other non-cash expense items and ramp-up costs associated with the launch of our non-agency jumbo loan origination program. These ramp-up costs include the advance hiring of servicing and originations staff, recruiting expenses, travel, licensing and legal expenses. In addition, adjusted net income excludes certain other non-routine income and expenses, primarily non-deferrable expenses associated with our private equity and initial public offerings and acquisition costs related to NattyMac. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total revenues, income before income taxes, net income or diluted EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are presented to provide additional information about our core operations.

Forward Looking Statements

Various statements contained in this earnings release, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward- looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements in this earnings release speak only as of the date of this earnings release; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section within our final prospectus dated October 9, 2013, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
