PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. Reports

First Quarter 2016 Results

Moorpark, CA, May 5, 2016 – PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI) today reported net income of $26.5 million for the first quarter 2016, on revenue of $143.4 million. Net income attributable to PFSI common stockholders was $5.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. Book value per share increased to $12.59, up from $12.32 at December 31, 2015.

First Quarter 2016 Highlights

·Pretax income of $30.1 million, down 61 percent from the prior quarter
oResults adversely impacted by non-cash valuation losses on mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) of $125.9 million, partially offset by gains from hedges and excess servicing spread (ESS) liability totaling $78.2 million, driven by a significant decline in mortgage rates
oExcluding net MSR-related valuation changes, pretax income was $77.8 million
·Production segment pretax income of $68.4 million, up 36 percent from the prior quarter
oTotal loan production activity of $10.9 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB), down
2 percent from the prior quarter
oStrong growth in consumer direct channel with $1.2 billion in UPB of originations, up 17 percent from the prior quarter, and $2.2 billion in UPB of interest rate locks, up 23 percent from the prior quarter
·Servicing segment pretax loss of $39.5 million, versus pretax income of $27.9 million in the prior quarter
oServicing portfolio reached $164.9 billion in UPB, up 3 percent from December 31, 2015, due to loan production activities
·Investment Management segment pretax income of $1.1 million, up 74 percent from the prior quarter
oNet assets under management were approximately $1.6 billion, down 6 percent from December 31, 2015, driven by PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust’s (PMT) repurchase of its common shares of beneficial interest and the anticipated return of capital to investors in the private Investment Funds

 

“The mortgage banking business is inherently sensitive to changes in interest rates, and PennyMac Financial has in place a comprehensive risk management approach designed to moderate the immediate impact of interest rate changes while taking into consideration the company-wide effect on revenue opportunities over time. Interest rates declined during the first quarter which drove a significant value reduction in our MSRs, even after the offset from our interest rate risk management strategies,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stanford L. Kurland. “That said, PennyMac Financial’s underlying operating results and growth trends remain solid. Mortgage production activity is strong, particularly in our consumer direct channel which is delivering higher volumes and margins. With interest rates remaining low, we continue to experience increased volumes of applications and loans in process, which we expect to drive higher production income in future periods to further offset the first quarter impact on our mortgage servicing asset.”

Production Segment

 

Production includes the correspondent acquisition of newly originated mortgage loans for PennyMac Financial’s own account, fulfillment services on behalf of PMT, and consumer direct lending.

 

PennyMac Financial’s loan production totaled $10.9 billion in UPB, of which $7.6 billion in UPB was for its own account, and $3.3 billion was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT. Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) on correspondent government-insured and consumer direct loans totaled $8.7 billion in UPB.

 

Production segment pretax income was $68.4 million, an increase of 36 percent from the fourth quarter 2015. Production revenue totaled $117.3 million, an increase of 12 percent from the fourth quarter, primarily resulting from a 19 percent quarter-over-quarter increase in net gains on mortgage loans held for sale, driven by a significant increase in originations and lock volumes in the consumer direct channel, which tends to have substantially higher margins than the correspondent channel.

The components of net gains on mortgage loans held for sale are detailed in the following table:

 

   Quarter ended 
   March 31, 2016   December 31, 2015   March 31, 2015 
   (in thousands) 
MSR value  $95,373   $112,196   $67,028 
Mortgage servicing rights recapture payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust   (1,951)   (1,993)   (1,289)
Provision for representations and warranties   (2,082)   (1,978)   (1,495)
Cash investment (1)   (51,140)   (7,885)   (15,599)
Fair value changes of pipeline, inventory and hedges   51,324    (21,604)   26,733 
Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale  $91,524   $78,736   $75,378 
                
Net gains (loss) on mortgage loans held for sale by segment:               
Production  $78,214   $65,893   $76,979 
Servicing  $13,310   $12,843   $(1,601)

 

(1) Includes cash hedge expense

 

PennyMac Financial performs fulfillment services for conventional conforming and jumbo loans acquired by PMT in its correspondent production business. These services include, but are not limited to: marketing; relationship management; the approval of correspondent sellers and the ongoing monitoring of their performance; review of loan data, documentation and appraisals to assess loan quality and risk; pricing; hedging and activities related to the subsequent sale and securitization of loans in the secondary mortgage markets for PMT. Fees earned from fulfillment of correspondent loans on behalf of PMT totaled $12.9 million in the first quarter, unchanged from the fourth quarter 2015. Fulfillment fee revenue was driven by a 6 percent quarter-over-quarter reduction in conventional conforming loan acquisitions, offset by an increase in the average fulfillment fee rate to 40 basis points, from 37 basis points in the fourth quarter. The weighted average fulfillment fee includes contractual discretionary reductions in the fulfillment fee to facilitate the successful completion of certain loan transactions by PMT.

 

Production segment expenses were $48.9 million, a 10 percent decrease from the fourth quarter 2015, primarily driven by reductions in direct and allocated discretionary and equity-based compensation resulting from the Company’s overall financial results.

Servicing Segment

 

Servicing includes income from owned MSRs, in addition to subservicing and special servicing activities. The Servicing segment posted a pretax loss of $39.5 million in the first quarter, versus pretax income of $27.9 million in the fourth quarter 2015. Servicing segment revenues in the first quarter totaled $19.6 million, a 75 percent decrease from the fourth quarter, primarily due to a 77 percent reduction in net loan servicing fees.

 

Net loan servicing fees totaled $17.5 million for the quarter and included $114.9 million in servicing fees reduced by $49.7 million of amortization and realization of MSR cash flows. Net loan servicing fees also included $125.9 million of fair value losses and impairment provisioning related to MSRs, partially offset by $58.7 million of related hedging gains and $19.4 million of gains due to the change in fair value of the ESS financing. MSR fair value losses and impairment provisioning in the first quarter resulted from expectations for higher future prepayment activity due to the significant decline in mortgage rates during the quarter. PennyMac Financial extinguished a portion of the ESS financing related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs in February; as a result, ESS financing outstanding at March 31, 2016 only relates to Ginnie Mae MSRs.

 

The following table presents a breakdown of net loan servicing fees:

 

   Quarter ended 
   March 31, 2016   December 31, 2015   March 31, 2015 
   (in thousands) 
Servicing fees (1)  $114,933   $112,699   $72,924 
Effect of MSRs:               
Amortization and realization of cash flows   (49,696)   (47,403)   (24,104)
Change in fair value and (provision for) reversal of impairment of MSRs carried at lower of amortized cost or fair value   (125,887)   45,513    (46,701)
Change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing   19,449    (6,864)   7,536 
Hedging gains (losses)   58,720    (26,976)   17,121 
Total amortization, impairment and change in fair value of MSRs   (97,414)   (35,730)   (46,148)
Net loan servicing fees  $17,519   $76,969   $26,776 

 

(1) Includes contractually-specified servicing fees

 

Servicing segment revenue also included $13.3 million in net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the first quarter resulting from the securitization of reperforming government-insured loans, versus $12.8 million in the fourth quarter 2015. These loans were previously purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations and brought back to performing status through PennyMac Financial’s successful servicing efforts, primarily with the use of loan modifications.

 

Servicing segment expenses totaled $59.1 million, a 17 percent increase from the fourth quarter, as a result of increased credit loss provisioning and expenses related to the early buyout of loans from seasoned Ginnie Mae pools.

 

The total servicing portfolio reached $164.9 billion in UPB at March 31, 2016, an increase of 3 percent from the prior quarter end. Of the total servicing portfolio, prime servicing was $161.3 billion in UPB and special servicing was $3.6 billion in UPB. PennyMac Financial subservices and services under contract $49.6 billion in UPB, an increase of 4 percent from December 31, 2015, primarily due to new correspondent acquisitions by PMT. PennyMac Financial’s MSR portfolio grew to $112.8 billion in UPB, an increase of 2 percent over the prior quarter, primarily resulting from the acquisition of government-insured loans in correspondent production and from consumer direct lending activities.

Investment Management Segment

 

PennyMac Financial manages PMT and the private Investment Funds, for which it earns base management fees and may earn incentive compensation. Net assets under management were approximately $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2016, down 6 percent from December 31, 2015, primarily due to PMT’s share repurchase program and the planned return of capital to investors in the private Investment Funds.

 

Pretax income for the Investment Management segment was $1.1 million, an increase of $488 thousand from the fourth quarter 2015. Management fees, which include base management fees from PMT and the private investment funds and any earned incentive fees from PMT, decreased 7 percent from the prior quarter, primarily due to the reduced net assets under management. Carried interest from the private investment funds increased to $593 thousand, compared to a $270 thousand decrease in the prior quarter resulting from improved performance in the private Investment Funds.

 

The following table presents a breakdown of management fees and carried interest:

Consolidated Expenses

 

Total expenses for the first quarter were $113.3 million, a 3 percent increase from the fourth quarter. The increase in total expenses primarily resulted from increased credit loss provisioning and expenses related to the early buyout of loans from seasoned Ginnie Mae pools.

 

Mr. Kurland concluded, “While significant interest rate volatility such as that seen in the first quarter can adversely impact near-term results, we are pleased with our underlying profitability and the ongoing growth of our businesses. For example, our consumer direct production channel continues to scale, a result of the investments we have made in our operational infrastructure, and is delivering increasingly meaningful contributions to PennyMac Financial’s earnings. In particular, we believe that we are poised to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the current low interest rate environment to continue growing the company and delivering strong returns on equity for our shareholders.”

 

Management’s slide presentation will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.ir.pennymacfinancial.com beginning at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on Thursday, May 5, 2016.
