Nationstar Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

  • Q1’16 Adjusted EPS of 27 cents, GAAP loss of $1.28 per share
  • Servicing profitability of 5.0 basis points (bps)
  • Originations pretax income of $40 million
  • Xome pretax income of $11 million

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2016--Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (NYSE:NSM) reported adjusted earnings results for the first quarter of $28 million or 27 cents per share, bolstered by strong servicing and originations performance and improvement in Xome. First quarter results were largely consistent with the previous quarter when taking into consideration the $8 million positive impact from the repurchase of debt in Q4'15. For GAAP purposes, the Company had a net loss of $132 million, or $(1.28) per share, of which $161 million or $1.56 per share, after tax, was primarily attributable to changes in fair value.

“We posted solid first quarter earnings led by Servicing, which delivered five basis points in profitability,” said Jay Bray, Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, for the second year in a row, our Servicing operations achieved Fannie Mae’s highest level of performance recognition - the Five STAR designation, which reflects the hard work of our employees and the dedication to our customers. In addition, Originations continues to be a solid bottom line contributor by delivering $40 million in pretax income, and we made significant progress with Xome that we believe will drive earnings in future quarters.”

First Quarter Business Highlights

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment achieved $49 million of adjusted pretax income, or 5.0 bps based on average UPB of $392 billion, for the first quarter (for GAAP pretax income please reference the table below). Given the solid start to the year, we remain committed to previously-stated goals of achieving quality earnings that exceed 5 bps on average for 2016.

Annualized CPR 13.8 % 13.5 %
Annualized CPR, net of recapture 11.5 % 10.9 %
Modifications and workouts 15,292 14,716
 

From a pipeline perspective, we have approximately $57 billion in commitments, which includes the previously announced $55 billion in subservicing expected to board predominantly in the third quarter as well as a small private label security pool. In addition, we have seen an increase in potential subservicing opportunities currently in the market.

Despite continued volatility in interest rates, prepayment speeds improved slightly to 13.5% for the overall platform or 10.9% if the impact of recapture is included. Declining interest rates during the quarter were also the primary cause for the fair value loss on our MSR portfolio which does not consider the value generated by our integrated origination platform.

Non-recurring expense adjustments in Servicing consist of two items. First, $2 million is associated with ramp-up costs for the previously-announced subservicing contract that should board mostly in the third quarter. Second, $2 million is associated with the exercise of a reverse call provision, from which we will sell the associated loans for a significant gain over the next few months.

Originations Segment

The Originations segment generated adjusted pretax income of $40 million in the first quarter, which was in line with our expectations and represents nine consecutive quarters of over $40 million.

Funded volume - total ($B) $ 4.0 $ 4.2
Recapture percentage 27 % 31 %
Purchase volume as a percentage of funded volume 21 % 25 %
 

The originations platform continues to replenish the MSR portfolio at attractive rates of return. Nationstar funded $4.2 billion of volume, or an increase of 5%, during the quarter driven by the consumer direct channel which accounted for over 60% of the volume. In addition, we saw meaningful increases in both the recapture percentage as well as purchase volume percentage which increased to 31% and 25%, respectively.

Xome Segment

Xome delivered $11 million in pretax income in the first quarter. Earnings were higher sequentially primarily due to increased title volumes and lower marketing and technology spend.

During the quarter, we made significant operational progress with respect to our property disposition and title operations that should generate a solid improvement in margin as we enter the second quarter. The improvements in the property disposition business were driven largely by enhanced workflow management of the pipeline. In our title business, we continue to board new customers and are working with existing customers to improve order timing to reduce costs and increase conversions. Furthermore, third party revenues remain stable at 36% and we continue to see progress in boarding new clients for a variety of services, including our technology offerings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This disclaimer applies to every usage of "adjusted pretax income," "adjusted earnings," "adjusted EPS," and "servicing profitability" in this release. Adjusted pretax income is a metric that is used by management to provide a better depiction of the results of servicing operations by excluding changes in fair value of the MSR and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted earnings is a metric used by management to provide an estimate of earnings by excluding mark-to-market ("MTM") adjustments and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted earnings begins with net income and makes adjustments for taxes, the adjustment for fair value of MSRs and non-recurring expenses. Servicing profitability is a metric used by management to estimate earnings from the servicing segment. Servicing profitability begins with adjusted earnings and adjusts for financing structure payments. For additional servicing GAAP reconciliations, please refer to the Appendix section of the Q4'15 and Q1'16 Investor Supplement.
