STONEGATE MORTGAGE CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016
FINANCIAL RESULTS


Indianapolis, IN - August 4, 2016 - Stonegate Mortgage Corporation (NYSE: SGM) ("Stonegate Mortgage" or the "Company"), a leading, non-bank mortgage company focused on originating, financing and servicing U.S. residential mortgage loans, today reported financial results and operating performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. These results are based on continuing operations, unless otherwise noted, as the retail restructuring announced last year resulted in, and is presented as, discontinued operations.

Revenues during the second quarter of 2016 were $26.5 million, up $21.5 million, or 432% compared to the first quarter of 2016 primarily driven by a $17.8 million, or 50% improvement in changes to MSR valuations and a $5.2 million or 22% increase in gains on mortgage loans held for sale. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, revenues were down $49.0 million or 65%. Excluding the changes in MSR valuations, revenues were down $13.3 million or 23%.

Consolidated expenses during the second quarter of 2016 were $43.6 million and were down $665 thousand or 2% compared to the first quarter of 2016 primarily driven by a $547 thousand or 8% reduction in G&A expense and a $425 thousand or 6% decrease in interest expense. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, expenses decreased $11.1 million or 20%, primarily attributable to a $9.0 million or 28% reduction in salaries, commissions and benefits and a $2.1 million reduction in G&A expense.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter 2016 was $17.2 million or $0.66 per diluted share, an improvement of $20.4 million or $0.79 per diluted share compared to a reported net loss of $37.5 million or $1.45 per diluted share for the first quarter 2016. GAAP net loss was down $28.3 million or $1.09 per diluted share compared to a reported net income of $11.1 million or $0.43 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2015.

Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter 2016 was $1.0 million or $0.04 per diluted share after excluding pre-tax mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments of $17.9 million compared to a reported adjusted net loss of $3.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, adjusted net income decreased $1.3 million or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily attributable to lower originations volume.

“During the second quarter, we saw continued volatility within the financial markets primarily driven by economic concerns abroad. While this environment presented some challenges related to GAAP earnings, we were pleased with the overall performance of our business segments and the profitability of our core operations,” said Jim Smith, Chief Executive Officer. “The success of our restructuring efforts and execution of our cost management strategies have positioned us well for future earnings stability. As a result, we generated $1.0 million dollars in adjusted net income for the quarter. Production was up 21% and we posted a significant increase in total revenues while our overall expenses decreased by 2%. We continue to be highly focused on driving core earnings, strengthening our balance sheet and delivering value to our shareholders.”




 
 
 
 
 
1 Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are presented to provide additional information about our core operations. See page 6 of this release for a discussion of the use of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Stonegate Mortgage Corporation
GAAP Reconciliation
(Unaudited)

We calculate adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations 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 net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations exclude certain items that we do not consider part of our core operating results, including changes in valuation inputs and assumptions on our MSRs, stock-based compensation expenses, severance expenses and sale or disposal of long-lived assets. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations, net income (loss) from continuing operations or diluted EPS (LPS) from continuing operations prepared in accordance with GAAP.
