Dallas, TX (February 26, 2015) - Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NSM) (“Nationstar”), a leading residential mortgage services company, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

Full Year 2014 Financial Results

Net income for the year was $221 million, or $2.45 per share, up from $217 million, or $2.40 per share for full-year 2013. Nationstar generated core EPS of $2.86 per share, up 61% from 2013, due to greater earnings contribution from core operations versus increases in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Core EPS was up year-over-year as a function of increased servicing earnings, significant growth in the Solutionstar business from increased property sales, valuation and title orders, and more stable originations earnings. Operating cash flow increased over 900% to $363 million for 2014.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Nationstar reported quarterly net income of $19 million, or $0.21 per share for the fourth quarter, down from $111 million or $1.22 per share in the third quarter. Excluding a deferred tax allowance released in the third quarter, Q3'14 net income was $68 million, or $0.75 per share. GAAP EPS in the quarter was down principally due to a $46 million non-cash MSR mark-to-market adjustment and increased amortization in our servicing segment. Core EPS for the quarter was $0.58, down from $0.80 in the third quarter. Core EPS was down principally related to increased amortization and higher servicing expenses in the quarter. Core EPS excludes one-time items and MSR fair value adjustments. We generated strong operating cash flows during the quarter of $118 million, similar to operating cash flows generated during the third quarter, indicative that the primary driver of the decrease in earnings quarter over quarter was related to non-cash items such as amortization and MSR fair value adjustments.

“Heading into 2015, growth prospects for Nationstar are significant, and we are well positioned from a capital, technology and operational perspective,” said Jay Bray, Chief Executive Officer. “Looking forward we believe customer satisfaction is a source of competitive advantage and a single customer provides extreme value to our portfolio over time. We are relentlessly focused on retaining our ‘Customers for Life’ through a robust suite of products and solutions, offered at a competitive price, with a customer-centric focus.”

Business Highlights

Servicing Segment

The servicing segment generated $327 million of core pretax earnings in 2014, up from $316 million in 2013. Servicing core margin increased year-over-year from 26% to 30% as we executed on profitability initiatives that reduced cost per loan and improved the performance of acquired portfolios. The initiatives reduced operating costs by 17%. Nationstar’s servicing portfolio ended 2014 at $381 billion, nearly in line with the 2013 ending balance despite a challenging transfer market. Nationstar completed over 80,000 workouts during 2014 that contributed to an overall decline in the 60+ day delinquency rate from 11.8% to 9.9%. The servicing portfolio CPR declined during 2014 to 13.3%, down from 14.8% in 2013. The decrease in delinquency and reduction in CPR will have a positive impact on servicing profitability over time through the extension of cash flows and a lower operating cost structure due to performing loans being less costly to service.

Solutionstar Segment

The Solutionstar segment generated $133 million of pretax earnings in 2014, up 295% from $34 million in 2013. Solutionstar margin increased year-over-year from 23% to 41% due to an increase in property sales and an increase in unit volume orders in our valuation, title and closing services as a result of the expansion in our existing client relationships. Solutionstar sold nearly 21,000 properties over the course of 2014, a 68% increase from 2013. Additionally, Solutionstar sold its first third-party property through the HomeSearch platform in the fourth quarter and has 47 agreements to sell properties on behalf of third-party clients. We expect the economics of the additional third-party business to begin to materialize in 2015.

Originations Segment

The originations segment generated $209 million of core pretax earnings in 2014, up 25% from $168 million in 2013. Originations core margin increased year-over-year from 24% to 36% as a result of the strategic decision to exit lower margin channels in late 2013, increased margins on consumer direct originated loans and maximizing capacity utilization on a single integrated platform. Nationstar funded $16.9 billion of volume in 2015, with approximately 67% of the volume from the consumer direct channel. In

2014, 28% of all originations were purchase money as compared to 17% in 2013, reflecting the broader market shift toward more purchase money originations as the housing market recovers. The recapture rate in 2014 was 34%.

2015 Outlook

Business Outlook

Nationstar acquired most of its servicing assets at, or near, historic low valuations, improved the performance of the portfolios, cross-sold additional high-quality origination and ancillary services, and increased the value and stream of portfolio cash flows, enabling Nationstar to make additional investments in other accretive opportunities. Looking forward, we believe Nationstar is one of the best positioned servicers to acquire additional servicing portfolios based on this proven track record. Ultimately, Nationstar’s success depends on our ability to work productively with our customers, regulators and investors.

During the first quarter of 2015, Nationstar has entered into new commitments to acquire $35 billion of agency servicing assets, primarily from two counterparties. Assuming a 12% annual run-off, we have already replenished 95% of the servicing annuity and are well on our way to achieving our 10%, or greater, UPB growth target for the year. Transfer activity from both banks and non-banks has increased since the end of 2014, and is expected to remain elevated over the course of 2015 when compared against 2014. In addition to growing our servicing portfolio, Nationstar continues to evaluate ways to improve efficiency, reduce delinquencies, strengthen the transfer process and increase overall profitability.

Technology Outlook

Nationstar is committed to transforming the home ownership experience through the deployment of new innovative technologies to make the home purchase experience simpler, accessible and transparent for all market participants.

In the first quarter of 2015, Solutionstar will deploy its next generation technology for HomeSearch.com which delivers a state-of-the-art experience to allow customers to seamlessly purchase distressed and non-distressed property listings starting with one click. This new version of HomeSearch will contain over 75% of all active MLS listings in the United States. HomeSearch offers an enticing value proposition to customers by launching the first ever end-to-end residential real estate search and transaction engine where the customer could receive up to 1% cash back at closing. Unlike traditional real estate transactions that are notoriously complicated, HomeSearch customers will be able to select a real estate agent from a panel or retain their own agent as they are effortlessly guided through the process, all while a specialist is available to answer any questions. The platform integrates all of the front and back-end services with an unbeatable value proposition of “1 click, 1 call, 1% savings^TM.."

With the launch of the next generation HomeSearch.com platform, Solutionstar will possess an industry leading real estate search and transaction portal and software ecosystem providing enhanced technology and data solutions to homebuyers, home sellers, real estate agents and companies engaged in residential real estate transactions. Solutionstar utilizes the power of technology and data analytics to deliver a comprehensive suite of end-to-end services, from front-end real estate auctions to world class back-office software and services for agents/brokers, appraisal, title, close and escrow.

Nationstar continues to invest in and develop technologies, comprising both back-office work flow processing systems as well as consumer-facing products that will be deployed over the course of 2015. We expect these technologies to have a top and bottom

line impact through new revenue streams and efficiency improvements that will reduce our operating costs. Additional details on these technology initiatives will be provided in upcoming quarters.

Customers

Providing customers a best-in class experience will result in significant tangible benefits to customers, shareholders, regulators and the GSEs. Recent progress towards this goal includes the launch of the customer feedback portal that allows customers to easily provide feedback, have direct interaction with support staff, track complaint statistics, including progress towards stated goals, and provide transparency for all constituents.

The next step in improving the customer experience includes the upcoming launch of the “Customer for Life” and “Customer Select” campaigns. These initiatives represent the next evolution for engaging with customers, including providing useful data and insights, more personalized service and a strong value proposition. The Customer Select program will combine real estate and home loan services thereby potentially reducing the cost of buying, selling, or refinancing a house by thousands of dollars. These initiatives will strengthen the relationship with the next generation of homeowners by reducing transaction costs, providing timely data and insights, and automating time consuming manual processes.

Providing existing and future customers with exceptional service, technologies and products will increase the value of the servicing portfolio as a result of greater customer retention and a longer time horizon over which to deliver innovative services. Finally, a best-in-class homeownership experience will improve standing with investors, including the agencies, thereby increasing opportunities to selectively acquire additional portfolios.

Conference Call Webcast and Investor Presentation

Chief Executive Officer, Jay Bray, and Chief Financial Officer, Robert Stiles, will host a conference call for investors and analysts to discuss Nationstar’s fourth quarter and full year 2014 results and other general business matters at 9:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, February 26, 2014.
